Evaluation and improvement of Streptococcus suis bacterins

Swine production is a major branch of Canadian economy. Bugs, such as bacteria, can kill small piglets or compromise their welfare, and have a major impact in swine industry performance. One well-known dangerous bacterium is Streptococcus suis, which is very difficult to control because lack of effective vaccines. Consequently, antibiotics are overused to fight this important disease with consequent increase in antibiotic resistance (i.e. the antibiotics are not anymore able to kill bacteria). It is thus important to improve control strategies, such as vaccination, to reduce the use of antibiotics and improve animal welfare. Vaccination helps to protect animals against virulent microbes, such as Streptococcus suis, by activating the immune system to combat them. Vaccines are made with the whole bacterium (or its parts) and mixed with a substance called “adjuvant” which acts as booster agent of the immune system. This project will help design the best “adjuvant” to be used in Streptococcus suis vaccination and thus improve its effectiveness.

Improving Social Justice and Economic Stewardship along the Global Value Chain: The Effectiveness of Interventions within Fragile Environments

Governments and consumers increasingly are demanding that companies take concrete action to improve environmental stewardship and social justice along their entire supply chain. In developing countries, however, this effort is hampered by lack of knowledge as to what kinds of initiatives yield positive outcomes. This research is a pilot project to develop new insights into the conditions under which local mining communities can improve their living conditions. Our interns will be directly involved in organizing and analyzing newly gathered data and they will also be working towards improving our ongoing data collection methods and the theoretical framework that underpins this much needed effort. The partner organization, IMPACT, will benefit from the data management and statistical management skills of the interns to derive novel insights that can be disseminated to Canadian business.

Modélisation d’un système composé d’une machine synchrone de forte puissance entraînée par un actuateur thermique

La production de l’énergie électrique nécessite des actuateurs mécaniques de grande puissance. Au Canada, la puissance mécanique provient principalement des turbines hydrauliques activées par les rivières. Cependant, dans plusieurs pays, elle provient des turbines thermiques qui utilisent de la vapeur générée par des centrales à combustibles fossiles ou nucléaires. En Amérique du Nord, plusieurs de ces machines thermiques installées dans les années 50-60 sont arrivées en fin de vie et devront être remplacées dans les prochaines années. Évidemment, la technologie qui permet le contrôle de ces machines a largement évoluée durant cette longue période et il devient important de pouvoir l’adapter aux nouvelles machines thermiques. Pour assurer une adaptation efficace, il est mandataire de bien connaître les propriétés des machines thermiques (leurs caractéristiques dynamiques ainsi que tous les éléments qui l’entoure.

Changes in the impact attenuation performance of field-used hockey helmets over time

A hockey helmet should be capable of protecting the user over the helmet’s intended life span. There is currently little evidence quantifying the changes in the impact attenuation performance of field-used hockey helmets over time.
This study will collect a large sample of field-used hockey helmets from the hockey community for impact testing. The sample is expected to include helmets over a large age range. The impact testing and subsequent statistical analysis will identify age effects over the continuum of helmet age specific to individual helmet makes/models, impact attenuation materials and the entire helmet population. This data will inform an evaluation of the expiry dates applied to helmets and guide future evaluation of helmet standards essential to continual improvement of injury reduction and prevention strategies.

Examining the Effectiveness of Combined Rehabilitation and Botulinum Toxin Injection on Functional Improvement of the Upper Limb after Stroke

Through a pre-post design, I will examine the impact of UL rehabilitation followed by UL rehabilitation combined with BT on arm function. Patients with stroke and spasticity are unique; thus, the effect of BT is specific and it is difficult to compare groups of subjects. Using subjects as their own control is the most suitable way to determine the effect of an intervention. I will, therefore, conduct a study on a series of subjects before and after “UL rehabilitation.” Then, using the same subjects, I will do another before and after study, but this time using “BT combined with UL rehabilitation.” In order to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of my measurements, I will utilize kinematic analysis, an advanced measurement tool to complement the clinically based outcomes. This study is innovative and will contribute to the best practice in different rehabilitation disciplines by assisting with more advanced and…………………TBC

Antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory bowel diseases effect of hemp seeds grown in Canada

Hemp seed is a super fruit because its bioactive compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial capabilities. Hemp seeds have the potential as a food therapy to reduce inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In this project, we will collect hemp seeds from 20 hemp cultivars grown in different provinces in Canada. Antioxidant capacities of hemp seeds will be determined by using different chemical assays. Selective hemp seeds of different levels of antioxidant capacities will be used to investigate the anti-IBD effect using both in vitro “gut-on-a-chip” platform and in vivo mouse model. This study can provide the insight to the medical significance of whole hemp seeds and demonstrate its innovative applications in the agri-food industry.

Rationality problems

Algebraic geometry is the study of algebraic varieties, geometric shapes that arise as solution sets to systems of polynomial equations. Algebraic geometry is a subject of central importance in contemporary mathematics, with multiple connections to other areas, such as number theory, combinatorics, representation theory, analysis, and theoretical physics. The simplest algebraic varieties are rational varieties. Informally speaking, these are varieties that admit a parametric presentation. A solid understanding of rational varieties is important both for theoretical purposes and for applications. The question of whether a specific variety is rational can be very difficult to answer. Questions of this type are called rationality problems. In this project I propose to try to answer questions in this area. Spending a semester at Universite Paris Sud, being mentored by Professor J.-L. Colliot-Thelene, and learning from some of the leading mathematicians in the field is an exceptional and unique opportunity.

Automatic Understanding of the Semantics of Source Code For IdentifyingSensitive Code Fragments

Source code is what programmers write as instructions to the computer to execute to complete a desired task. All operating systems and applications on a computer or a mobile device is a runnable version of a compiled source code. Experienced programmers can easily browse and understand source code in different programming languages because they have the necessary technical background that is not available for every-day users. Those experienced programmers can identify parts of source code that are of interest (e.g., can make the program run 10x faster if improved) or pose a threat (e.g., if reverse-engineered can expose cleints’ personal information). With billions of lines of code available within private companies or in public code repositories, it is not scalable to ask experienced programmers to identify these parts of code. This project targets finding a way to automatically detect such parts using machine learning.

La collaboration municipalité – économie sociale en Outaouais : études de cas et transfert d’apprentissages

La région de l’Outaouais possède un fort potentiel de développement dans le secteur de l’économie sociale. Les acteurs du développement en prennent de plus en plus conscience et plusieurs cas de partenariats entre des entreprises d’économie sociale (EÉS) et certaines municipalités de la région ont vu le jour afin de réaliser ce potentiel. Notre recherche vise donc à recenser, documenter et analyser certains de ces cas à différents degrés de partenariats avec des municipalités. Nous cherchons également à comprendre comment la nouvelle loi sur les gouvernements de proximité (loi 122) encadre les relations entre les entreprises de ce secteur et les municipalités. Nous sommes intéressés, notamment, aux formes de soutien et aux possibilités que la loi permet en ce sens. TO BE CONT’D

Changing Waters: Modeling Long-Term Fluxes of Phosphorus Under Changing Climate and Land Use in the North American Great Lakes Region

Participation in Mitacs Globalink will allow me to travel to Leipzig, Germany to pursue research at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). I will be working there as an undergraduate researcher within the Department of Computational Hydrosystems directly under Dr. Sabine Attinger. The aim of my project will be to learn and apply their mHM model (mesoscale Hydrologic Model). This is a unique, spatially explicit, distributed hydrologic model that uses grid cells as the primary unit and accounts for hydrologic fluxes from the hourly to the daily scale. This model will allow me to apply its framework to the Great Lakes region, which will be an expansion to my previous co-op term at the University of Waterloo, where I used the ELEMeNT model to predict trajectories for stream phosphorus loading into Lake Erie. Ultimately, this project will provide the opportunity to connect and combine two successful models in order to obtain a detailed and accurate depiction of the water quality and hydrology of watersheds contributing to the Great Lakes.
