Casting and Production of HT9 for Advanced Reactor Fuel Cladding

In recent years there has been renewed interest in nuclear power for the purposes of combating climate change. ARC Nuclear’s ARC-100 reactor design requires extensive research and development to deploy a prototype. Significant effort is needed to develop the materials to be used in the reactor’s core. HT9 is a specialty steel alloy which has shown some promising results in the past and therefore has been selected for use in the ARC-100. The main objective of this project is to manufacture a batch of HT9 and test its properties, to ensure that it can withstand the environment of a nuclear reactor core. This knowledge will allow ARC Nuclear to make an informed choice: whether they should use HT9 and begin its commercial production; or, pursue different materials instead.

Ultrasound image analysis for identifying blood in an existing effusion in knee joint

Ultrasound, an inexpensive, accessible and portable device is gaining popularity in various disease diagnoses. In this project, we aim to analyze the ultrasound images generated for knee joint for diagnosing hemarthrosis (joint bleeding), a common clinical event in patients with severe hemophilia. We aim to analyze the images using machine learning and deep learning techniques. As the major challenge in this case is the scarcity of number of cases with hemophilia, we plan to use one-shot learning techniques, which use neural networks to learn the similarity features between images and need only few training images. The learned model will be deployed in 16 Bit software for diagnosing hemarthrosis in hemophilic patients.

Investigating the primary target and mechanism-of-action of 2-MMB for the treatment of LQTS

Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic disorder that causes prolongation of cardiac repolarization, observed as an elongation between the Q and T waves observed on an electrocardiogram. The lengthening of these waves can cause unexpected and life threatening arrhythmias. Current therapies for the LQTS are limited to ?-blockers and left cardiac sympathetic denervation which prevent fatal arrhythmia and Implantable Cardiac-Defibrillators (ICD) which terminate arrhythmia. However, these therapies often need to be used in combination, and impact negatively the quality of life of the patients. So far, no therapy actually restores normal repolarization and shortens the QT interval. Recently a compound, 2-MMB, has been reported to rescue LQTS on zebrafishes by correcting the repolarization defect. However, no therapeutic target has been identified yet for this compound, and the mechanism of action remains unknown. The purpose of that project is to identify the therapeutic target of 2-MMB.

3D Conformal thermal therapy of the soft tissues for treatment of localized cancerusing MRI-controlled ultrasound therapy

MRI-guided ultrasound therapy is a powerful method of image-guided therapy for cancer treatment in
which ultrasound energy is used to coagulate (or cook) a target region of tumor. This kind of treatment
has been developed as an alternative to conventional therapies (radiation, surgery) which are associated
with high complication rates and long recovery times. Successful application of this technology for
treatment of localized cancer requires the ability to deliver the energy to a targeted region of the organ,
while avoiding thermal damage to surrounding structures. This requires accurate control over spatial
and temporal deposition of energy to regulate the temperature. The goal of this research project is to
develop advanced control strategies to enhance the treatment effectiveness of the ultrasound therapy
system.

A Framework for Enhancing Fire Safety Engineering Education in Quebec

Our proposal continues our SFPE International research project on Anthropometric Data and Movement Speeds but directs the project’s goal to enhancing fire engineering resource development and research dissemination in Quebec. Our proposal is multi-staged. We primarily focus on the finalization of the compilation of existing emergency movement data which can be used by various engineering consultancies conducting ASET / RSET analyses or alternative solutions for egress management. Our movement data would come from our own collected research recorded before 2019 (which broadly includes pedestrian behavior in emergency and non-emergency circulation studies in stadiums, cultural centers, train stations, etc., with special considerations for accessibility, upwards/downwards movement, etc.). Our secondary research focus involves the development, preparation and conduction of a module series of Human Behavior in Fire for the first time in North America conducted in French, to ensure Canadian accessibility. As well as the enhancement of other tailored education resources that can be used by all Canadian practitioners. These module series will utilize the analyzed data taken from these previously recorded footages.

Exploring the modern possibilities of AI Directors

Games have often used the concept of using an AI to direct gameplay in a way that would be more enjoyable by players in the game. This has most often been targeted at dynamically adjusting the difficulty of encounters so that players will be more successful when playing through a game. However, the general concept can extend more broadly to systems that work to ensure that the player has learned the necessary skills required to advance in the game. We hypothesize that modern learning and planning techniques can be leveraged to create simpler and more robust AI directors that are able to fulfill a broader range of purposes in each game.

Projet pour l’implantation d’un régime d’assurance pension au Québec

Suite aux déclarations d’insolvabilité de nombreuses entreprises du secteur privé tels que le Groupe Capitales Médias, Mabe, l’entreprise minière Cliffs et Sears dont les employés sont bénéficiaires d’un régime de retraite à prestations déterminées, la Fédération Canadienne des Retraités est confrontée au fait que qu’un grand nombre de retraités seront privé d’au moins 30% de leurs prestations de retraite , dû à l’inexistence d’un un régime d’assurance pension au Québec (RAPQ). En contraste, en 1980, a été implanté en Ontario un fonds de garantie des prestations de retraite qui permet aux employés du secteur privé de recevoir un montant mensuel ($1500) en cas de faillite de leur entreprise. Il est à noter que le système Ontarien est unique en son genre au Canada. L’objectif du projet est de contribuer à l’implantation d’un RAPQ en :
a. Repérant les conflits de lois que pourrait évoquer l’Implantation d’Un RAPQ;
b. Évaluant les méthodes de recueil de données en ce qui a trait aux participants et bénéficiaires de régimes à Prestations Déterminées au Québec dont les employeurs sont des entreprises privées
c. Établir une liste des avantages sociaux économiques pour évaluer l’impact positif que rapporteraient l’implantation du RAPQ.

Development of an optical sports monitoring sensor and method for non-invasive evaluation of muscle metabolic fitness and function in elite athletes

Currently, elite athletes and their coaches rely on the subjective self-awareness and measurement of muscle force, heart rate, and the amount of blood lactic acid level to monitor body fitness and athletic performance. These methods, however, are not ideal and always reliable due to subjective errors, technological limitations and individual confounding factors that limit the validity and accuracy of the measures. Furthermore, current methods are not able to monitor muscle function and fitness during exercise and recovery periods. This study aims to approach this challenge by establishing a new method and developing a wearable sensor for non-invasive monitoring of muscle performance and fitness during exercise. The ultimate goal of this project is to help elite Canadian athletes to enhance their 2022 and 2024 Olympic and Paralympic podium performances by using this new sports monitoring technology

Cardiac sensor to detect changes in heart dysfunction related to COVID-19 virus

Recent research has confirmed the lethal effects of the COVID-19 virus on the heart, and thus the proposed research will use a cardiac sensor called seismocardiography to assess the mechanical function of the heart in patients with respiratory and cardiac pathology, as well as in normal-healthy aging patients, to assist in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment regime for patients with COVID-19. The cardiac sensor can measure and record how the heart is contracting and relaxing with every heartbeat. If there are complications in the heart, the timing events of the heart will be affected, and the cardiac sensor device will detect these changes from normal heart function. This research will assist LLA Technologies Inc., to enter the global market to commercialize their cardiac sensor, and become a leader in Canada and globally for cardiac diagnostics.
