Planting, growing, harvesting, transporting and processing Arundo Donax: an engineering and economic analysis

The giant reed Arundo donax (A. donax) is a grass species with high biomass production and great potential for phytoremediation. It is a viable alternative to wood, coal and petroleum based feedstock. Our partner, Nile Fiber Canada, is designing a large-scale production system for planting, growing, harvesting, transporting and processing the grass to chips or pellets to be used to produce energy for commercial or residential purposes. This project deals with the development of economic analyses and a mathematical model to design the supply chain network for to be used as feedstock and pellets for bioenergy production. Our goals are to help design an efficient supply chain network that can help NFC operate at profit while meeting the requirements of its customers.

Intelligent control strategies for the Industrial Internet – Phase II

This phase of the project continues on the research focus of developing intelligent control for machines using derived deep machine learning schemes. The learning algorithms to be developed will use high volume data from various processes in advanced manufacturing and other systems, combined with could based analytics, formulate complex and accurate process models of these processes. These models will then be integrated into advanced controllers that are self-optimizing and are continually updated via deep learning networks and continuous data streams machines. The projects spans several years and can potentially have significant impact on reducing energy use and minimize operational costs of manufacturing systems.

Transformation de la gouvernance des ressources forestières au Québec dans le contexte du projet de loi no 28

À l’automne 2014, le gouvernement du Québec déposait le projet de loi no 28, entraînant notamment la fermeture des Conférences régionales des élus (CRÉ) qui étaient investies de certaines responsabilités en matière de forêt. Dans ce contexte, les acteurs territoriaux doivent se réorganiser afin de faire avancer les différents dossiers touchant l’exploitation et la gestion durable des forêts. À partir d’une étude de cas comparative qui fait appel aux entretiens semi-directifs et à l’analyse documentaire, ce projet vise à mieux comprendre les répercussions qu’aura cette loi sur la gouvernance des ressources forestières au Québec. Au terme du stage, nous proposerons des pistes de solution afin de faciliter la réorganisation des acteurs forestiers et valoriser les compétences acquises au cours des dernières années. Ce projet permettra au stagiaire de profiter de l’expertise technique et des contacts du CERFO dans le domaine de la sylviculture et de l’aménagement forestier durable, et au partenaire de mieux cibler ses interventions auprès de ses clients.

Effect of operating parameters on particle migration velocity in wet electrostatic precipitators

Canada is committed to reducing the level of acid gas and toxic emissions from its coal burning or cement production plants. Since many airborne particles of less than 1 micronmeter in diameter are toxic and hazardous for human respiratory system, special environmental concerns are directed towards controlling the emission of ultrafine particles. Wet and dry ESPs are more reliable particulate control devices due to higher collection efficiency, lower pressure drop, lower energy consumption and capability to operate over a wide range of gas temperatures. WESP technology has been developed to collect fine particulate, heavy metals and acid mist for industrial applications. The main objective of this project is to simulate a WESP with hexagonal collecting tubes, one of the major products of the company, and investigate the effect of different operating parameters and geometrical characteristics on precipitator performance for collecting submicron particles to improve the quality of product offerings.

Optimisation du remblai en pâte à la mine Casa Berardi

Les mines souterraines exploitent des ouvertures qu’elles appellent chantier. Il y généralement plusieurs chantiers côte-à-côte et lorsque le premier chantier a été exploité, il doit être rempli avant d’ouvrir le chantier suivant. Une des méthodes de remplir les chantiers est de faire parvenir de la surface, du remblai en pâte cimenté. Ce remblai ressemble à du béton, mais il doit être beaucoup plus liquide pour permettre le transport dans des tuyaux, ce faisant, il est beaucoup moins résistant que le béton. De plus, une fois arrivé dans le chantier, le remblai réagit différemment de ce qu’on estime en laboratoire. Pour être sécuritaire, il est donc nécessaire d’ajouter un surplus de ciment dans le remblai, ce qui coûte très cher à la mine. Le projet porte donc sur la détermination des besoins réels en ciment, pour ainsi diminuer les coûts d’opérations.

Optical and Electrochemical Corrosion Detection and Protection

During the proposed internships, adaptive corrosion protection system (ACPS) will be developed as a stand-alone unit to provide optimum corrosion protection by changing the protection power according to the changes in environment or the material properties. This will allow the dynamic adjustments by implementing the feedback loop for the protected system. The proposed ACPS will also use efficiently stored energy from harvesting or charging. The proposed ACPS will significantly reduce and/or eliminate human interaction for an efficient and a cost-effective. Besides, the ACPS will optimize the power supplied to the protection system to optimally use the available power. Because of these technological benefits the wider adoption of the ACPS is anticipated in a wide range of practical applications. Finally, this collaborative project is intended to provide protection solution for the transmission towers as well as the corrosion-prone underground structure for the partner organization.

Assessing the impact of community-based biodiversity conservation on bird communities: acoustic monitoring in protected and non-protected areas in Mexico.

La biodiversité des oiseaux dans deux différents milieux de la région de Oaxaca au Mexique sera examinée par un suivi des espèces présentent et de leur distribution dans les habitats. Les chants seront enregistrés, leur emplacement noté et les espèces auditivement identifiées. L’étude nous informera 1) sur l’état des habitats à l’intérieur d’un milieu protégé et d’un milieu non protégé, 2) permettra d’établir des stratégies de conservation et 3) une base de données des espèces d’oiseaux et de leur distribution à l’intérieur de ces deux milieux sera créée. On s’attend à un milieu plus en santé dans la
réserve protégée et aussi d’y trouver une plus grande biodiversité d’espèces d’oiseaux.

Ubiquitous and Secure D2D Communications for 5G Networks: New Challenges and Physical Layer Solutions

The next generation cellular standard—called the fifth generation radio networks—is expected to include D2D (device-to-device) communications that allow two or more devices in proximity of each other to bypass the base-stations and establish direct local links. In consultation with our supporting organization, InterDigital, we have identified two key use-cases of D2D communications in 5G networks: ultra-dense M2M communications that arise in infrastructure monitoring; and low latency and high reliability V2V communications to provide traffic-safety warnings. These use-cases give rise to new research challenges: how to manage physical layer resources in a hybrid of centralized and decentralized approaches; how to ensure fast and accurate synchronization and efficient tracking; and how to use physical layer approaches to reduce the ability of malicious attackers to intercept private communications. In this project, we propose to develop new theories, algorithms and design guidelines that address these research challenges and will enable the practical implementation of D2D communications.

Improving Electrical Demand Baseline Forecasting Techniques

Loads on the electricity grid are increasingly being viewed as potential controllable assets, rather than just a traditional load that generators must supply. This evolving view of loads in this manner has spurred the development of demand response methods for controlling the loads in real time in response to market price and regulation signals. In order to properly compensate the participants in demand response, as well as to better control the loads in aggregate, methods are required to estimate what the electrical load would have been in absence of being called on to temporarily curtail their load had no demand response been called on. This project will apply advanced statistical modeling methods to the problem of computing baseline estimates of load. These methods can provide better predictions that include estimates of uncertainty and can be updated in real time as more data becomes available. Enbala Power Networks will be able to implement these methods in the commercial demand response platform to improve their operations in various demand response applications.

Examining the Mechanism of Interaction Between Solanum tuberosum Plant Specific Insert with Lipid Membranes Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

The proposed research area of my master’s project is on the structure and function relationships of food-related proteins, at a fundamental and molecular level. My focus is on the plant specific insert (PSI), a saposin-like-protein in Solanum tuberosum, which has the potential to impact on both food safety and agricultural practices. Plants rely on their innate immunity as a first line of host defense against external pathogens. Like saposins and various other members in the saposin like protein family, PSI was discovered to have antimicrobial, antifungal, protein folding, vacuolar targeting/sorting, membrane disruption and vesicle leakage activities. These self-defense mechanisms are essential for the natural health of the plant. The proposed study will elucidate the interaction between the recombinantly expressed 15N and 13C labeled Solanum tuberosum plant specific insert with phospholipids through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Due to sequence homology of PSI and saposin C, a mature saposin; it is hypothesized that PSI will interact with phospholipid membranes in a similar fashion to saposin C and that the additional segment in PSI may play a role for interaction.

Development of a novel ultrasonic dental system for alveolar bone mapping

Important information in determining dental implant success is the anchorage provided by the width of the alveolar bone ridge at the location of the implant site calculated during the presurgical assessment. Currently used methods are invasive (x-rays radiation, needle based mapping or direct exposure) and to date, there is no real-time ultrasonic dental tool dedicated to measure the alveolar ridge. The objective of the project is to design and develop an ultrasoundbased diagnostic system for bone width evaluation at the initial stage of dental implantology treatment planning. This solution is intended to help dental practitioners to determine the necessity of bone augmentation and estimating the proper implant size prior to implant placing.
