Experimental Evaluation of Emergent Behaviours in Interactive Art Sculptural Systems in Public Installation Settings

In this project, we aim to build an interactive art sculpture that is intrinsically curious. The sculpture learns by doing some action and observing the consequences. We are interested in studying how people perceive the behaviours emerged form this learning process and how different configuration might change this perception. Moreover, we aim to bring this sculpture out of the laband validate the findings “in the wild” by installing the sculpture in public venue and allow visitors to interact with it. Advanced user experience surveying technologies will also be investigated in order to better capture users’ responses.

Reconnaissance de l’efficacité des produits de santé naturels au Canada et Problématique de remboursement

La recevabilité des demandes de remboursement, la clarté et la nature des exigences, et l’acceptabilité de remboursement des médicaments naturels diffèrent d’une province à une autre dépendamment entre autre de la reconnaissance de l’efficacité et du rôle préventif des produits naturels et vitamines. Ainsi, il serait intéressant de regarder et d’analyser plus en profondeur les voies de remboursement à emprunter pour ce type de produit, que ce soit par le CDR ou les programmes provinciaux afin de permettre aux patients l’accès à une alternative médicale et/ou préventive plus importante.

Impact of the new central ethics committee submission process in Quebec

There are multiple academic and non-academic institutions in the province of Quebec that participate in clinical research trials. In the past, each had their own ethics committee. Since all had their own review group and demands, this was creating substantial delays in study start-up and contributed to the decrease number of trials being conducted in the province. Since February 2015, the Quebec Health Ministry has put in place a “central” review system between the institutions. The objective of this project will be to assess if the newly proposed central review process has a positive impact on review timelines and client satisfaction. For the organization, we are always looking for ways to reduce the timelines and improve the processes. The analysis of this new process could have major implications in the site selection process and the allocated resources.

Revue systématique et méta-analyse en cancer du sein métastatique et impact clinique de la médecine de précision

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche consistera à quantifier l’impact clinique (en termes d’année de vie gagnées, des mesures de sécurité, etc.) des différents traitements en première ligne du cancer du sein métastatique et d’étudier en particulier le bénéfique clinique des médicaments de précision, c’est-à-dire les médicaments accompagnés de diagnostic compagnon, sur le pronostic des patients.
Le projet va commencer par une revue systématique de la littérature publiée (RSL) en cancer du sein métastatique afin d’identifier les méthodes qui ont été employées dans le passé. La revue se concentra particulièrement sur les RSLs publiées par les autorités de santé, incluant par exemple le NICE au Royaume-Uni, ou CADTH au Canada. Le stagiaire sera impliqué sur toutes les étapes du projet, incluant la rédaction du protocole d’étude, le screening, la collecte de données, la synthèse et la présentation des résultats et la rédaction du rapport d’étude. Les données cliniques seront ensuite analysées via une méta-analyse afin de comparer l’impact clinique des différents traitements disponibles.

New toothpaste for managing dental health in adults and elderly patients

Toothpastes are basic products needed for daily maintenance of oral hygiene. However most of the available toothpastes are designed to manage tooth decay. Older individuals, however, suffer from gum diseases that caused by accumulation of plaque and tartar on teeth or implants. The most common way of cleaning the teeth is with a brush and toothpaste. However, even though major companies offer a wide range of products to manage gum disease, they all have limitations when it comes to removal of tartar and cleaning dental implants. Therefore, many patients have to go to the dentist on regular basis to treat these problems, or face the loss of their teeth and implants.
In this project we will develop a new toothpaste designed to manage gum diseases in elder population, by removal of tartar and cleaning dental implants. This novel product would prevent loss of teeth and implants, and reduce the costs of dental interventions for management of gum problems.

Increasing the operating life of slurry pump’s gland seals

The main objective of the proposed research is to find ways to increase the wear life of gland seals in slurry pumps. Gland seals are subjected to harsh mechanical environments: high pressures, high temperatures, and solid abrasives. If gland seals are not designed properly to withstand these conditions, premature gland failure will occur. There are several standard components inside a gland seal that can be altered to increase a gland seal’s life. In addition, the internal geometry of the seal can be reconfigured to achieve better wear life. We will be focusing our attention on three components: the shaft sleeve coating, the gland seal packing material, and the lubricant inside the seal. A non-standard gland geometry will be designed and tested.

Process Modeling for Ge-on-Si Photodetectors

High-performance Ge-on-Si photodetectors are of lower cost and can be monolithically integrated with Si based integrated circuits for on-chip optical communications to increase computing speed. Process modeling is essential for structure and processing conditions design, but the current photonic design tools are too simplified for this task. This research is to implement process models in a photonic device design tool Lumerical DEVICETM. Focuses will be given on the Ge and dopant distributions at Si/Ge interfaces. Then, the processing condition impact on the Ge-on-Si photodetector performance will be studied to help locating a suitable processing window for the detector fabrication. The expected results would be an improved Lumerical DEVICETM capable of processing condition design and optimization. This project is perfectly aligned with the strategic priority of Canada as a world leader in optical communications, and will greatly facilitate the R&D of Ge-on-Si photodetectors.

Scientific Validation of the CBI Workplace Solutions Pre-Placement Functional Assessment for Canada Post Delivery Agents

The purpose of this project is to conduct a scientific evaluation of pre-placement functional assessment for Canada Post delivery agents. Within the project, the research team will evaluate how delivery agents (letter carriers) perform mocked-up work tasks (based on actual job tasks observed in the field). Then the research team will evaluate how delivery agents perform the pre-placement functional assessment. The research team will compare the results from each condition to determine if the pre-placement functional assessment exposes delivery agent to physical demands that are similar to those experienced when performing the mocked-up work tasks. It is important to conduct a scientific evaluation of a pre-placement functional assessment to ensure that it is an adequate and reliable test of a delivery agents ability to perform the job of a delivery agent.

Use of remote sensing data to define spatial-temporal salmon habitat status

The Salish Sea is a temporally and spatially dynamic coastal ocean under strong influence from terrestrial and oceanic inputs, and of major economic importance, due in part to fisheries. The Salish Sea is highly productive, especially from early spring to summer when resident and migratory fish
populations are either spawning or entering. The interannual productivity variability is suggested, among other factors, to contribute to the large variation in the salmon populations in the past 50 years, which have exhibited a general decline in the past decades. Further, juvenile salmon uses
nearshore habitats in the Salish Sea, specifically eelgrass meadows, for shelter and food source. The goal of this project is to determine the spatial-temporal ocean productivity and changes in the eelgrass habitats of the Salish Sea using remote sensing data to allow a better understanding of the
bottom-up processes that may influence juvenile salmon survival in the Salish Sea, and consequently improve fisheries management. TO BE CON’T

Estimation des précipitations extrêmes aux postes de transformation exploités par Hydro-Québec – Year two

Le Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (GIEC) prévoit, suite aux changements climatiques, une augmentation de la fréquence et de l’intensité des précipitations extrêmes. Les impacts de ces bouleversements touchent plusieurs secteurs, dont la sécurité des infrastructures hydrauliques. Dans le but d’améliorer la connaissance sur ces événements et ultimement d’établir des plans d’adaptation, ce projet postdoctoral consiste à prédire l’évolution des précipitations extrêmes le plus précisément possible selon les meilleurs outils climatiques, mathématiques et statistiques actuellement disponibles. Les résultats émanant de ce projet permettront à Hydro-Québec d’évaluer la résilience des infrastructures hydrauliques existantes aux conditions climatiques anticipées et de mettre à jour la stratégie de conception afin de garantir un risque de défaillance acceptable dans un contexte de climat non stationnaire.
