Caractérisation géohistorique, biophysique et géomorphologique des marais intertidaux de Baie-Saint-Paul, Charlevoix, Québec

Les marais de Baie-Saint Paul sont de haute valeur environnementale, s’insèrent dans l’économie locale et régionale et dans l’orientation de mise en valeur du patrimoine de la ville. Ces écosystèmes sont le sujet de ce travail qui vise leur étude au niveau physique, historique, géographique et biologique. Quatre grandes questions sont abordées sur ces marais: Comment ont-ils pris place? Comment ont-ils évolué avec l’homme? Comment ont-ils évolué spatialement? Comment sont-ils actuellement? La compréhension globale des marais vise donc à définir leur rôle et leur évolution spatio-temporelle. Le marais pouvant croitre tout comme s’éroder, les milieux passé et actuel sont la clef pour appréhender le futur. Dans cette optique, la connaissance sur l’évolution de cet environnement permet d’offrir un outil d’aide à la décision pour la gestion du territoire dans une perspective de développement durable. Sous ce concept, les composantes sociales, naturelles et économiques du marais littoral sont toutes importantes.

Subjective Evaluation of Vehicle Semi-Active Suspension for Improved Ride and Handling

Semi-active suspension systems (SASSs) are becoming more prevalent in passenger vehicles on the road. These systems have been demonstrated to improve ride and handling performance of passenger vehicles. This project will provide a means to subjectively evaluate the performance of SASSs using a dynamic driving simulator. A controller model of a SASS will be created to predict the ride and handling of an FCA vehicle. The controller model will be connected to a full vehicle model and simulated in a real-time environment. This environment includes a dynamic driving simulator in which a physical person drives the vehicle over virtual roads. A method for FCA engineers to subjectively evaluate the virtual vehicle equipped with this SASS controller will be developed to evaluate the vehicle’s ride and handling performance. Upon completion, FCA will have a method for tuning its vehicles’ SASSs ride and handling while reducing the development time and costs.

Design of Advanced Control Systems for Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is making tremendous strides in transforming the manufacturing landscape. While there now exist many new technologies for performing additive manufacturing there remain significant challenges in reducing part cost, part rejection rates and overall part quality. A big part of the work that remains to be done is in better understanding the relationship between processing parameters and resulting properties. In this project we will work specifically on advancing the state of the art in process control for a specific form of additive manufacturing, selective electron beam melting (SEBM). Working with our partner CANMORA Tech. we will develop, for the first time in a commercial SEBM system, a closed loop control system that will allow for synchronized control of the electron beam and the mechanical build table. The added flexibility provided by this novel control system will move us towards improved processing strategies, lower costs and reduced waste.

Secure Business Transformation and Enablement Services

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, the goal will be to examine cloud services security, perform threat modelling and to map threats with the Mitre ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and common knowledge) framework. To mitigate existing and potential attacks on critical applications of the finance sector, cloud services security will be evaluated from a cybersecurity standpoint and a few known security controls will be outlined based on security gaps in an application hosted on the cloud. The developed mitigation strategies and mapped threat model will be used to create the final risk report which will enable the current organizations to secure the existing cloud architecture

Automatic Spinal Segmentation for MAR Analysis

In spine research, a great effort is made to understand the various spinal conditions. Optima Health Solutions, a
leading organization in spinal care and research, has been performing MAR Analysis to measure the Mean Axis
of Rotation of joints in the cervical spine, to help better understand, treat, and prevent chronic neck pain in
patients. Until now, performing the MAR Analysis required extensive effort by trained doctors in manually
tracing and performing subsequent geometric analysis on spinal x-rays. The goal of this project is to use
computer vision techniques to automatically “trace” the spine joints directly from the x-ray, allowing the entire
procedure to be automated. Successful completion of this project will remove the bottleneck in this analysis

Design of Novel Catheter Systems for Local Drug Delivery and Cryogenic Lung Biopsy

Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies.
The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is surgical biopsy, despite associated complications including mortality. Cryogenic lung biopsy presents a new method of diagnosis with low risks compared to surgical methods. This proposal highlights the ongoing development of a cryogenic lung biopsy device. The intern will be required to execute engineering confidence testing as well as verification testing prior to design freeze. By the end of the internship period, a completed design of the cryogenic lung biopsy device will be ready for human use.

How do people labelled with intellectual disabilities experiencing care in the developmental services sector define person-centered care?

The purpose of this project is to understand what person-centered planning and care means to people labelled with intellectual disabilities experiencing care in the developmental services sector. If we are able to question labels of intellectual disability, celebrate body-mind difference; desire disability, neurodivergence, and disabled/neurodiverse futures, how will the western industrial complex of care exist (or cease to exist)? What can replace it? This is intended to be an emancipatory research project, one of the key elements of which is the “oppressed” group gaining power in the research process (Garbutt, 2009). People labelled with intellectual disabilities whose collective, intersectional experience of care is absent in scholarship and public policy, and who are barriered from access to the academy and governance, might use this project to make their experiences of, and desires for, care known. The Meta Center will gain the opportunity to set benchmarks for care and service provision, defined and determined by their clients.

Advancing Clean Energy in Remote Communities

As Canada looks to transition to a clean energy system, reducing diesel use in remote communities presents a significant challenge. Despite financial assistance from the federal government, the business case for clean energy projects in remote communities continues to be less than ideal. Without government support for capital costs, renewable energy projects at present are failing to attract private investment. To address this problem, this research project seeks to identify financial (e.g. market-based) tools, provincial/territorial/ and federal energy policies and programs, and regulations which might further advance the business case for renewable energy projects in remote communities, with the ultimate goal of accelerating the clean energy transition, with a focus on Indigenous-owned and led projects. As such, this project aims to better understand how Canada’s efforts to further reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples relates to and impacts sustainable energy transitions in remote communities. This research aims to inform the Pembina Institute’s collaborative efforts with the federal government to accelerate diesel reduction efforts in remote communities in Canada.

Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait in Patients with Functional Neurological Disorder

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is an increasingly prevalent medical condition in which there is a “software” issue resulting in abnormality in the functioning of the nervous system and can greatly impair a person’s quality of life with a wide range of motor, cognitive, and sensory symptoms. There is presently very limited research about FND, and no literature exploring the use of music to manage the symptoms. Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) is a technique that uses external rhythmic stimuli such as the beat of the metronome to facilitate intrinsically rhythmic movements such as walking, and has been shown to improve gait in a range of populations including Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. Neurologic music therapists at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston have observed short-term immediate improvements in gait with RAS in patients with FND, however, further exploration is needed in order to understand and quantify how RAS can be an effective tool in the treatment of this population. In collaboration with therapist and researchers at Spaulding, I would like to explore whether the use of a RAS gait training program could have a significant impact on gait parameters such as cadence, velocity, stride length, and symmetry

Validation of the 12M inertial system against a marker based motion capture system

A new tendency, in the way of practicing and collecting data in the health related fields, has influenced
a large development of non-invasive portable and wearable systems by companies specialized in
biomechanical instrumentations. In human motion analysis, particularly in biomechanics, the use of
inertial measurements units (IMUs) are frequently used in sports context such as tracking the action of
athletes. IMUs are highly transportable therefore; they can be used outside laboratory conditions. The
goal of this project is to validate the body segment orientations measured by the 12M inertial system
against those calculated by the VICON® motion capture system. The protocol will be divided in two
distinct sections: A comparison of the two measurement systems using a single axis pendulum and a
comparison of the two measurement systems using predetermined-controlled human movements. Once
validated, the IMUs will be use to assess kinematic measurements of sport movements, in our case ice
hockey skating. In order to constantly improve their products and….TOBECONT’D
