Optimisation des opérations de transport d’intrants et d’extrants chez Cascades

Le problème sur lequel nous travaillerons consiste à optimiser les opérations de transport d’intrants et d’extrants pour une usine chez Cascades. L’entreprise aimerait déterminer les modes de transport à utiliser (camion et train), les tournées des véhicules (camions) pour la livraison et revoir la taille de sa flotte de camion afin de réduire ses coûts de transport tout en assurant des délais de livraison raisonnables pour ses clients. Plusieurs contraintes réelles de l’entreprise (p. ex. capacité de transport) seront considérées. Notre projet consistera donc à développer un outil d’aide à la décision afin d’aider l’entreprise à déterminer les décisions à prendre pour une usine spécifique de son réseau, et de déterminer les répercussions potentielles sur l’ensemble de son réseau. Une analyse sera menée afin d’évaluer la robustesse des solutions proposées aux changements ayant une forte probabilité de se réaliser. Ceci mènera à des recommandations concrètes pour l’entreprise.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Habitat use of Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) in Amazonian Streams Using Remotely Sensed Imaging and Radio Telemetry

This project will be studying the relationship of Green Anacondas with their surroundings by describing the ways Anacondas use their habitats and how these behaviours change throughout the year. We will be using a technology called “radio telemetry” to follow Anacondas in order to observe them and collect information. Drone and Satellite imagery will be used to describe the Anacondas territories and habitats. Anacondas are important “top” predators of rainforest ecosystems and are also valuable in conservation land management through eco-tourism. The Alliance for Research and Conservation in the Amazon will benefit from this work because they will have a better understanding of the predator-prey relationships on their land, and will use the project to increase interest in visitations to the site, which ultimately helps manage and defend the pristine rainforest the organization is protecting.

Acoustical Detection of Swallowing Aspiration

Swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) is a common disorder in patients with neurological impairments,
head/neck injuries or brain-stem stroke. Dysphagic patients lack the intricate coordination between the
swallowing and the respiration functions, which results in high risk of food aspiration. The goal of this
proposal is to develop a novel and non-invasive acoustic technology that can detect aspiration at the
patients’ bedside without any interference with the normal swallowing of the patients. It can be easily applied
to any dysphasic regardless of the patient’s age or level of cooperation; thus reducing the need for
invasive and expensive current gold standard swallowing assessment techniques. The proposed
technology will diversify the product offering and market breadth of the industrial partner, Sagatech;
itt may also enhance the competitiveness of present Sagatech technologies.

Automation of the manufacturing process design

Automation is generally perceived as the application of physical robots to replace the human workforce to complete a specific task. However, automation can also appear in the design process where it replaces the repetitive computations and lookups by a human. In the latter case, automation reduces the risk of human error and highly increases the transparency and efficiency of the design process. The present work is focused on the automation of the manufacturing process of metallic powders. The goal is to utilize the historical data of the company to develop a customized predictive model that provides manufacturing recipes for future products.

Oat Conversion to Milk and Nutrient Recovery Optimization

Plant-based beverages are inappropriate alternatives to bovine milk, due to lower protein content and not sufficient amount of essential amino acids. To produce nutritionally complete plant-based beverage with high overall acceptability, the technological interventions and fortification techniques need to be developed. Oat is one of the promising raw material for preparation of functional plant-based milk due to the presence of dietary fibres and good nutritional quality of oat proteins. Appropriate complementation of oat proteins with other high nutritious plant protein isolate will enable to produce plant-based beverage with all essential amino acids required for a complete source of protein in a single serving. The applied interventions may lead to process improvements for better quality and performance of plant-based beverages and further growth and global competitiveness of Canadian products in a global market.

Evaluating the Long-Term Sustainability of Natural Systems in Ontario’s Greenbelt

Ontario’s Greenbelt is composed of nearly 2 million acres of protected land including natural areas that provide ecosystem services to millions of people. While these areas face reduced pressure from land use conversion, they still face a pressures typical of natural systems in peri-urban landscapes including loss of biodiversity, invasive species, impacts from infrastructure projects and a changing climate. In order to determine the extent to which these pressures are shifting natural systems, indicators of system health are needed. This report will use existing natural system spatial data to quantify changes in the natural system across the Greenbelt. Through municipal case studies relying on previously collected high-resolution spatial and field-collected information, a list of recommended indicators will be developed, identifying high priority indicators for collection and reporting. It will also provide recommendations for additional, precise monitoring criteria based on data analysed at both regional and local levels.

An appliance and methodology for making customizable food bars with optimal textural properties

In today’s world, there is an increasing need for convenience and customizability in food products, though these may be competing priorities. Food on the go, such as protein bars and cereal bars, are a popular choice for convenience, but despite the enormous variety of food bars for sale, there is still a need for increased customization. Making customized food bars at home is possible using a conventional oven and/or stove with store-bought ingredients, and numerous techniques and recipes can be easily found on the internet. However, generating food bars at home that consistently have optimal flavor and texture profiles may be out of reach for the average consumer. Therefore, we propose to development the technology to quickly and easily make these bars on demand (either at home or in a commercial setting). Such a device would enable consumers to enjoy a fresh, warm product that is easily customizable to meet dietary requirements and personal preferences.

100% Ontario wines from Vidal and Marquette: Quality improvements to Increase Domestic Market Share

Research that supports Ontario’s wine industry has an opportunity to improve the quality of a white hybrid grape, Vidal, and to investigate the potential for a red hybrid grape, Marquette, which is seeing increased interest from growers and wineries. This project is a scientific evaluation of varying factors that could improve the expression of Vidal character in table wine and improve its market acceptability by assessing consumer preference. Preference testing of the wines will be conducted with a consumer panel to determine treatments with the highest consumer appeal and willingness to pay. Determination of preference drivers will guide future research to optimize quality entry-level Ontario wines with consumer appeal. This will help to better understand the sustainability of the Ontario wine industry in the current market.

Molecular diagnostics for temperature stress and pesticide stress on queens

Honey bee colony health and productivity is intrinsically linked to the quality of the queen. Unfortunately, queen quality is compromised by stressors such as extreme temperatures and pesticide exposure. When queens are heat- and cold-shocked, the viability of their stored sperm drastically decreases, causing colonies to dwindle, produce less honey, and ultimately fail. Pesticide exposure has similar effects. But we currently don’t have diagnostic tools for identifying root causes of queen failure, so beekeepers are often simply left guessing or wondering why. Some queen tests exist, such as measuring sperm viability from dissected spermathecae, but they have limited practical utility because they still do not identify the underlying cause of viability losses. This project aims to develop molecular diagnostic tests for heat-stress, cold-stress, and pesticide-stress events for queens as a further step towards evidence-based colony management

Research and Development of Urinary Metabolome-based Personalized Health Assessment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Autism and Environmental Exposure – Year Two

Despite the growing interests and publications in metabolomics, there is a significant gap between what have been found through scientific studies and what have actually been applied in clinical practice and preventative healthcare. This proposed project aims to fill this gap by addressing two major causes; 1) lack of utilization in existing metabolomics data and published findings, and 2) lack of an accessible tool to collect samples for metabolomics data at home. The first issue is addressed by text mining of published studies and online databases using machine learning techniques. This is followed by a development of multivariate statistical models based on the extracted data. To address the second issue, this project also focuses on a development of a collection kit and suitable analytical methods for metabolites found in urine, a biological specimen that can be collected non-invasively in large volume at home. This will expand current capability of Molecular You Corporation to acquire new information of human health and perform early diagnosis of various conditions of interest, such as autism and inflammatory bowel disease. This collaboration between the personalized digital health company and the major metabolomics research group is expected to bring impacts of metabolomics research efforts into society.
