L’apport des innovations sociales dans le développement territorial des destinations en périphérie- Le cas de CulturAT en Abitibi-Témiscamingue

Les régions périphériques du Québec ont connu depuis les années 1960 de nombreux mécanismes de développement et de gestion afin de contrer leur déclin. L’un d’eux est sans aucun doute les politiques de développement touristiques. D’une part, le tourisme est reconnu par plusieurs comme une stratégie de développement porteuse d’avenir sur le plan économique et social. D’autre part, il a été démontré par le passé que son développement peut entraîner des nombreuses conséquences néfastes pour l’environnement et pour l’intégrité des communautés hôtes. Face aux nombreuses critiques qui incombent le tourisme, cette recherche tente de comprendre comment de nouvelles pratiques touristiques favorisent un développement qui soit plus respectueux des communautés qui y habitent et des écosystèmes qui l’incluent. Cette recherche se concentre donc sur une nouvelle pratique touristique nommée CulturAT en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. TO BE CONT’D

Optical Variable Effects for Minting Applications

The appearance of polished gold and silver has always been attractive to the human eye. The high reflectivity of these surfaces naturally makes them strong candidates for optical designs that are based purely on reflective optics. When circular grooves are scribed into metal surfaces, some very interesting optical effects can be observed, and in some cases light beams will appear to come out of the surface. Other light beams will appear to go into the surface. Through clever design and orientation of these scribed regions, the appearance of interesting optical effects can be generated.

Scientific and Clinical Hub for Orphan Drug Development

With rapid and cost-effective genome sequencing becoming the norm, many causal mutations for inherited genetic diseases are being rapidly determined. The discovery of new genes for inherited diseases is enabling rapid genetic and chemical genetic platforms to be used to discover drug targets and drugs/drug-like molecules as potential treatment options for patients with inherited diseases. This project is focusing on the identification of compounds that could potentially treat human genetic diseases, with a focus on childhood blinding disorders, and muscular dystrophies – the expertise of the industrial partner AGADA Biosciences. The research will identify novel drugs/drug-like molecules for the treatment of patients suffering from these inherited diseases.

Evaluation of the clinically management weight-loss program at Wellness Institute at Seven Oaks Hospital

Many Canadians are overweight or obese which increases their risk for various diseases. However, many weight loss approaches don’t work. The objective of this project is to evaluate a weight loss program managed by doctors, dietitians and exercise specialists that focuses on improving healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity at the Wellness Institute. The Wellness Institute is a state-of-the-art certified medical fitness facility dedicated to improving the health of the community through health promotion and disease prevention. The weight loss program will focus on reducing the amount of calories eaten and increasing exercise levels. All participants will see a dietitian and kinesiologist regularly. This project will also review current studies related to weight loss programs to ensure that the program is based on the latest scientific evidence. Results from this project will be used to support a program offered to the public through the Wellness Institute.

Improved Numerical Combustion Models for Predicting and Reducing Pollutant Emissions in Gas Turbine Engines

Gas turbine engines are the primary propulsion device for today’s aircraft. These engines operate on liquid hydrocarbon-based fuels and as such can yield a range of undesirable pollutants including gaseous emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), green-house gases (GHG, largely CO2, really a combustion product) and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), as well as nanometer-sized carbonaceous particulate matter or soot. Due to increasing concerns for the environment and causes of global climate change, the manufacturers of gas turbine engines are today facing increasingly more stringent governmental and/or environmental regulations pertaining to emissions. These increased regulations are in turn driving the need for significantly reduced engine emission strategies. Unfortunately, there are major scientific and technological challenges associated with designing robust, low-emission, gas turbine combustors. TO BE CONT’D

Characterization of a novel 3D-FML for submerged turbine application

The proposed research aims at increasing the efficacy of tidal turbines by incorporating light-weight and resilient blades into a currently used turbine. For that, a recently developed 3D fiber-metal-laminate (3D-FML) material at Dalhousie University will be used. In comparison to metals that are presently used to form blades, or potentially fiber-reinforced composites, the 3D-FML would facilitate lighter weight and greater specific strength and stiffness, in a cost-effective manner. The project will design the blade using the finite element method, and fabricate it using the vacuum-assisted hand layup method. Subsequently, the integrity of the blade will be examined using various instruments that will monitor its performance in an in-service like condition, achieved by testing the turbine in a large tank, with controlled flow velocity, using the Aquatron facilities of Dalhousie University.

ParticipACTION Physical Activity Report Card for Children and Youth and the Global Matrix 3.0: Evaluation and Strategic Harmonization

Global levels of childhood physical activity are declining while sedentary behaviours are rising, leading to the global increase in non-communicable disease. The aim of this project is two-fold: 1. to contribute to childhood physical activity promotion in Canada and worldwide, and 2. to contribute to the international diffusion of the scientific knowledge concerning childhood physical activity. This will be achieved via the optimization of the development of the Global Matrix 3.0; the evaluation of the Global Matrix 3.0; and the amplification of findings from the 2018 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth. This internship is in direct accordance with the overreaching goal of ParticipACTION, a non-profit organization, which aims to promote healthy active living among Canadians. TO BE CONT’D

Development and Study of Ingrown Hair Treatments Part. 2

The 21st century has witnessed an increased prevalence of men and women removing unwanted body hair for cosmetic, social, cultural, or medical reasons. When not done properly, the removal of unwanted hair can lead to injuries to the skin and can cause ingrown hairs, also known as razor bumps. The prevention of ingrown hairs is highly dependent on utilizing post-hair removal treatments (e.g. after shave) and exfoliants; however, many products on the market contain high concentrations of ethanol or isopropanol, resins, or other harsh chemicals that can strip the skin of its natural oils, resulting in skin irritations, burning sensations, pH imbalance, and lacerations that can lead to severe skin infections. In this new proposal, we hope to continue our collaboration with Sugar & Co. for the development of a post-hair removal treatment and ingrown hair treatment. TO BE CONT’D

Dietary costs and benefits of lakeshore vs aggregate pit breeding in Bank Swallows (Riparia riparia)

Bank Swallows (Riparia riparia), a threatened species in Ontario, breed primarily in either banks at lakeshores or at exposed surfaces in man-made aggregate pits that occur with and without waterbodies. Pits are suspected to be ecological traps for this species but the relative trade-offs in nesting at pits vs. natural sites are poorly known. Availability of aquatic emergent insects is expected to be highest at lakeshore colonies with associated nutritional benefits including Omega-3 fatty acids. However, Bank Swallows may experience differential mercury exposure depending on habitat use. Potential difference in dietary quality among sites may directly influence juvenile body condition. This study seeks to compare these breeding habitats to evaluate dietary differences. This information will be important for management decisions related to the use of pits by this species and conservation of suitable nesting habitats.
