Cannabis used for medical purposes by children in Canada

Cannabis products are being used for a variety of conditions. In Canada, there are no cannabis products approved for use in children. Without evidence from clinical trials doctors are hesitant to recommend cannabis products for children. In order for doctors to feel confident in advising parents on medical cannabis they need better information on if these products work, how to dose them and long-term safety. Our national collaboration between parents, doctors, researchers, industry and policy makers will study the use of medical cannabis in children. We will review the literature and work with parents to identify knowledge gaps and priorities. As a supporter of this project, Canopy Health Innovations will contribute to important research and education that advances care and treatment options for paediatric patients. Our goal is to equip parents and doctors with the materials needed to make informed decisions about using medical cannabis in children.

Characterizing changes in the lung environment that promote osteosarcoma metastasis

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in both dogs and humans. The high mortality rate of this disease can be attributed to its ability to spread (metastasize) to the lungs. Metastasis is a complex and multi-step process. To promote the survival of cancer cells when they spread, organs can change their characteristics at a microscopic level. In response, cancer cells can alter their overall behavior, such as how they grow and respond to therapy. The goal of this project is to understand what changes occur in the lung, how this can affect certain proteins within the cell, and investigate a new way to detect these tissue changes. It is predicted that the lung undergoes drastic alterations in tissue rigidity, and this impacts the activation of various protumorigenic molecules inside the invading tumor cells. This in turn promotes the colonization of the lungs by the invading tumor cells.

Novel bioreactors for UV disinfection and resource recovery

Municipalities are facing significant challenges related to water treatment, including aging infrastructure, increasingly more stringent water quality limits (for drinking water) and discharge requirements (for wastewater), climate change and extreme weather events, constrained plant space, municipal budget stress, etc. Summer interns in this Mitacs project will be conducting research on novel bioreactors for UV disinfection and resource recovery from municipal wastewater to reduce cost, energy and footprint, and to improve environmental sustainability. These efforts will significantly enhance Trojan Technologies (Trojan)’s long-term competitiveness. It is expected that this academic / industry collaboration model will greatly benefit the learning and experience of summer interns, and will help accelerate innovation at Trojan. It is the first time for Trojan to apply the collaboration model with undergraduate students on a research project.

The History of the Quebec Common Gaol

This is a project to update the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s permanent exhibit, Doing Time: The Quebec City Common Gaol (1808 – 1867). Since the exhibit was launched in 2011, much research has been done on the history of the gaol. Doing Time is seen by some 25,000 visitors per year. For some, it is their only exposure to the history of prison life. The exhibit needs to be as accurate as possible. Revision will be done by an intern working under the supervision of Donald Fyson, professor of history at Université Laval and specialist in the gaol’s history.

Développement d’un nouvel implant pour le traitement de la dysplasie de la hanche basé sur une méthode de simulation numérique du contact et stress de la surface articulaire

Le projet consiste à développer un nouveau type de traitement pour une maladie liée à la croissance osseuse du bassin, nommé la dysplasie de la hanche. Présentement, cette maladie est souvent traitée en effectuant une chirurgie où le bassin est scié, réorienté et fixé en place. Alternativement, le traitement proposé serait d’installer une prothèse sur le bassin afin de compenser pour le manque de croissance osseuse. Cette prothèse serait conçue et fabriquées avec des outils de modélisation numériques et d’usinage à la fine pointe de la technologie. Elle pourra donc être précisément personnalisée à chaque patient. Les Laboratoires Bodycad inc. bénéficieront de cette recherche, car les connaissances acquises permettront de développer un nouveau produit disponible commercialement au public.

Applied Research in Performance Enhancement for Quantum Annealing

D-Wave Systems develops and manufactures quantum annealing processors. These processors implement a model of quantum computation that seeks to solve hard problems by exploiting quantum effects such as tunneling and superposition. The aim of this project is to study and improve the performance of quantum annealing processors by mitigating inherent and implementation-dependent failure mechanisms for near-term quantum annealing devices. This will benefit D-Wave by improving the performance of their processors, and will drive forward the field of quantum annealing in general by expanding our understanding of real-world failure mechanisms in quantum annealing processors.

Design and implementation of a real-time communication system for Measuring While Particle Acceleration (MWPA) applications

In this project, we will devleop various demodulation and encoding techniques to enhance the performance of receiving data in the EM telemetry process. In EM Telemetry process, a ‘measuring information and data while drilling’ application, transmit and communicate wirelessly from downhole to the surface. Due to the challenge of the earth behavior, low frequency communication needs to be used in this process, therefore mixing the data and noise in the low frequency and low SNR (signal to noise ration) is the main issue. In our work, a classical and intelligence noise cancellation method besides a channel frequency model will be studied. To develop a suitable modulation/demodulation method, a multiphysics, precise model will be designed and implemented. The entire electrical circuits, mechanical structure and the noise behavior will be investigated in the model and once finalized it would be applied to the real system.

Centimeter-scale GNSS Systems – Efficient and Secure Implementations

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) augmentation techniques such as differential GNSS and real-time kinetic (RTK) positioning have been critical for GNSS accuracy and usability. In a typical scenario, the correction data is streamed to a device in the field (rover station) from a reference (base) station. However, as the number of devices that rely on location service increases dramatically with the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT), a secure and efficient system to handle high-throughput traffic is needed.
In this project, we investigate a scalable and reliable GNSS augmentation system with accuracy down to a centimeter level and high-resilient to high traffic. The system will be implemented using the Internet- based NTRIP that support multiple protocols (RTSP, TCP, and UDP) for communication and data transmission, and SSL certificate for authentication and encryption. A high-throughput relay will be designed with the aim of providing high availability. TO BE CONT’D

Guide virtuel pour la Maison du Frère-Moffet

Le travail de recherche de Jean-Michel Laliberté s’insère dans le projet de renouvellement de l’exposition permanente de la Maison du Frère-Moffet. Cette exposition prend la forme d’un jeu où le visiteur est accompagné par un guide virtuel qui représente un personnage. Le récit du guide se construit à travers un parcours de réalité mixte où le participant explore les objets réels de la pièce. À partir de l’objet tangible, il découvre un univers augmenté à travers un dispositif de type tablette, qui dévoile des contenus liés au récit du personnage. Le partenariat de recherche constitue une opportunité pour la Maison du Frère-Moffet d’innover et de faire progresser la muséologie en mettant en place une expérience d’avant-garde unique.

Study of physico chemical properties of graphene and its derivatives for gas sensors application

The development of microelectronics based essentially on miniaturization in the previous century has given rise to other sectors in this area including the ability to design, develop new materials especially in the form of thin layers that may have new properties that will lead to the design and manufacture of devices for a wide variety of applications. Among these materials, we find Graphene and its derivatives (GO “graphene oxide”, rGO “reduced graphene oxide”, ..) which have aroused great interest thanks to their interesting properties: low resistance, transparency, mechanical power … moreover, they are applicable in several devices such as the gas sensors which aroused great interest because of their sensitivities, their quick responses and easy insertion in the electronics.
We aim to elaborate thin films based on GO and then the samples will be characterized with several techniques in order to use them in gas sensor for security.
