Les effets des Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) sur les citoyens prévotants

Ma recherche vise à évaluer l’utilisation d’un outil de Système d’aide au vote, tel que le Test électoral, en Belgique francophone, ou la Boussole électorale, sa version canadienne, sur le sentiment d’efficacité politique des jeunes citoyens prévotants. Ces outils permettent à l’utilisateur de confronter son opinion sur une série d’enjeux politiques avec celles des partis et de se construire une idée du paysage politique et de se situer dans celui-ci. Ainsi, les SAVs ont le potentiel d’être utilisés dans un cadre d’éducation à la citoyenneté afin de sensibiliser les jeunes aux problèmes sociétaux, d’éveiller leur curiosité quant aux partis politique et de les abiliter à comprendre et à participer au jeu politique. Pour ce faire, je mène une expérience en classe avec des élèves de 5 et 6ème secondaire en Wallonie. Ce séjour de recherche à l’UdeM me permettra de poursuivre l’analyse approfondie de mes données, entourée de l’expertise qui y est reconnue en terme théroriques et méthodologiques mais également de recueillir les expériences des acteurs actifs dans l’éducation citoyenne et démocratique et dans le développement des outils de vulgarisation politique.

Modelling beneficial management practices in agriculture to analyze effects on greenhouse gas emissions and environmental sustainability

Agriculture emit greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. In this project, we will look for best management practices to decrease these emissions. To accomplish this, we will review the literature to learn what have been done before, and what best management practices work well for decreasing greenhouse gases emissions. We will also use an existing software (Holos model) to represent management practices and to evaluate their impacts on decreasing greenhouse gases emissions from simulated agricultural systems typical of Alberta regions. This project will inform sustainability of agriculture and it will set the foundations for a decision tool within the Environmental Farm Plan, effectively reaching farmers.

Solving polynomial systems symbolically on the GPU

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are becoming very attractive for scientific applications targeting
high performance Many application software have gained massive speedup factors by integrating GPU
support, in particular in numerical computing.
Symbolic computation is also entering the area of many-core computing but the use of GPUs in
the major computer algebra systems (MAPLE, Mathematica) is very limited.
The proposed project will permit the development of an innovative GPU-based software for solving
polynomial systems symbolically and its integration into the computer algebra system MAPLE. As a
result, MAPLE will be enhanced with state-of-the-art algorithms and unmatched capabilities for solving
polynomial systems.

Plant oil based resins for hemp biocomposite materials

Plant oils are attractive renewable feedstocks for the synthesis of biobased resins. However, the current bioresin technologies are unable to address certain challenges including (1) achieving a sufficiently high biocontent in the final product, (2) the synthesis of bioresins via green chemistry, and (3) a commercially feasible bioresin cost. In this research, the MITACS intern will, under laboratory conditions, make two novel, high biocontent resins that have been proposed for this work. The properties of these bioresins will be evaluated through the preparation of test biocomposite materials, in close collaboration with the company. This project will help the company to understand the potential of two bioresin types in their future planned manufacturing of composite materials.

Multimodal imaging of EPCs in animal models using dendrimer based nanoparticle

The proposed research project is to create a nanoparticle capable of labeling stem cells to
ultimately track their localization and biodistribution in small animal models. This probe will be
unique in that it will possess multimodal imaging properties to allow visualization with
Positron Emision Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography
(SPECT) and other clinical imaging modalities. Dendrimers are nanoparticles with a narrow
molecular weight distribution. They have tunable size and shape characteristics and consist
of a highly fundionalized surface. Through the attachment of fluorescent and radioactive
agents onto the dendrimer we hope to create a nanoparticle probe that allows maximum
imaging sensitivity without Inducing an adverse cellular phenotype. Through tllis
investigation, the partner organization will be able to investigate further clinical uses for their
radioisotopes and pharmaceuticals ..

Addressing Security Requirements and Concerns for a Cloud-Based Critical Messaging Platform

The project will conduct applied research on how to assure security and privacy in a “cloudbased”
mobile messaging system in the health care domain. Cloud-based software delivery uses
a secure part of the Internet to deliver services. It has many advantages over the traditional model
of installing and maintaining software products on local computer workstations. For example, the
cost of ownership, maintenance and upgrades are lower from a client perspective. Moreover,
important aspects of security and informational privacy can be taken care of at the server side at
the network appliance level. Finally, cloud-based software is much more scalable and thus more
economical than traditional software installations. The most important barrier to the adoption of
cloud-based technologies in health care lies in informational security and privacy concerns.
Regulators and industry groups have created regulations, standards and codes to mitigate security
and privacy risks.

Development of a rapid and sensitive test for food spoilage bacteria

Food waste is a multibillion-dollar problem in Canada and around the world. Some level of waste may be unavoidable, but large amounts of safe food are lost every year because of the arbitrary nature of measuring food spoilage. This is especially true at the wholesale and retail level for meat products. Food typically spoil in a highly predictable and reproducible way. Here, we will develop a device that will allow an untrained worker to quickly assess whether food is spoiled to allow a rational design about whether that product is fit for consumption or should be discarded.

Quality-focussed Migration and Reengineering of aPrimary Care EMR to a Cloud Architecture

The project will conduct applied research on how to modernize medical practice software to a
“cloud-based” service paradigm. Cloud-based software delivery uses a secure part of the Internet
to deliver services. It has many advantages over the traditional model of installing and
maintaining software products on local computer workstations. For example, the cost of
ownership, maintenance and upgrades are lower from a client perspective. Moreover, important
aspects of security and informational privacy can be taken care off at the server side at the
network appliance level. Finally, cloud-based software is much more scalable and thus more
economical than traditional software installations. At the same time, there are considerable risks
associated with the modernization of sensitive medical software to cloud-based models and there
is a lack of systematic guidance, methods and tools in this domain. The objective of the project is
to transfer some of the latest research expertise on cloud-based software modernization to the
industrial partner, and also to empirically validate…

Consuming Enterprise Cloud Data on Mobile devices and Desktops

As the mobile landscape continues to grow and diverge, there is the need to start looking for innovative ways to
facilitate the Business-to-Business (B2B) use of mobile devices to support cloud hosted enterprise data. For
most enterprises, the bigger hurdle is how to support the enterprise system access from the mobile while
ensuring business continuity in cases of disconnections. This project seeks to investigate the state-of-the –art
research methodologies that support access to offline data by the mobile end users. Also, the project will
explore options that will enhance the deployment of an enterprise-centric system that utilizes both the public and
private cloud services. This research puts the partner organization in a strategic position to broaden out their
offerings of products to different mobile devices and better satisfy their customer’s needs.

Design of Mobile Natural Interfaces for Visualization and Management of Large Patient Databases

This project, in partnership with The Boeing Company, four Canadian universities (UBC, SFU,
OCADU and Dalhousie), a team of universities in Brazil led by the Federal University of Sao Carlos
(UFSCar), and a special chronic care hospital in Brazil for individuals with neurological and brain
disorders, intends to focus on health care professionals and administrators responsible for
transitioning patients to live in society again. As changes in the therapeutic procedures for patients
mean changes in the working procedures for health professionals, this project looks mainly to
investigate how natural user interfaces (NUIs) can be designed to enhance natural interaction among
health professionals to lead to a more connected, tuned and active community, with specific attention
to designing for managing and visualizing large quantities of patient and administrative data within the
nomadic context of their work. This project will bring significant benefits to Boeing in the areas of
visualization of large datasets, visual analytics and natural gesture interfaces applied to collaboration

PCR lab-on-chip system for rapid and sensitive identification of SARS-CoV-2 infected case

There is an urgent call for development of fast and sensitive diagnostic tools for early and on-site detection of infected individuals for containment of the current COVID-19 outbreak. These tools should also require minimal training procedures so that personnel with different backgrounds can run them on-site and get accurate data in short periods of time. In response to this need, here through an interdisciplinary research we aim to develop a novel, portable PCR lab-on-chip system to detect infected individuals with SARS-CoV-2 (in replacement of sending samples to specific labs for analysis, which may take days). It is noteworthy that the cost of the tests via the proposed system is estimated to be about $3/test, i.e. significantly lower than current detection methods. For the new tool, we are proposing to use self-collecting, non-invasive saliva sampling, which can be achieved even at individuals’ homes.

l’outil des carnets de competences : analyse et recommandations

Dans un contexte où la main d’oeuvre qualifiée de la division a des connaissances spécifiques qui ne peuvent être acquises dans un milieu académique et où, beaucoup partiront à la retraite dans les prochaines années , la direction a décidé de revoir sa stratégie en matière de gestion des connaissances et des compétences des employés de l’organisation. Des carnets de compétences ont été développés, pour chaque postes à criticité élevé, dans le but de créer des plans génériques de développement des compétences. Suite à leur mise en action, un questionnaire envoyé aux utilisateurs principaux de ces carnets afin d’avoir leurs opinions. Seulement la moitié des super-utilisateurs ont répondu au sondage et sur ce nombre, certains répondants n’utilisaient pas efficacement les carnets de compétences. Sachant qu’une somme importante d’argent y a été investie en temps et ressources informatiques, qu’ils ont eus à mobiliser diverses parties prenantes dans le processus de créations…..(tobecont’d)
