Enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw derived xylo-oligomers stream into monomeric sugars

The proposed research project is around re conducting feasibility studies on the purification and conditioning of industrial hemicellulosic C5 sugars from a number of potentially commercial wheat straw liquor fractions. The research will propose experiments where data for the ultimate evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis vs. a selected comparative list of acid hydrolysis can be included. The purpose is in acquiring a detailed analysis of the potential monomeric sugars.
With one representative product, we would also like to gain a preliminary understanding regarding the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis of a soluble wheat straw xylan stream. The end goal of this potential collaboration is to compare dilute acid to enzymatic hydrolysis and identify downstream impacts on proprietary catalytic hydrogenolysis conversion processes.

Implémentation d’un pipeline TALN pour la structuration de textes cliniques par concepts médicaux normalisés (UMLS, SNOMED-CT-CA)

Le projet vise à développer une infrastructure capable d’exploiter les informations cliniques contenues dans les dossiers médicaux électroniques. Une grande partie des données médicales du Québec est consignée dans ces dossiers, mais les textes n’ont pas de structure précise et restent difficiles à exploiter automatiquement. Cette complexité peut ralentir la prise de décision médicale et freiner les échanges d’informations entre les professionnels de la santé.
Le stage mené chez Omnimed consiste à concevoir les étapes de traitement permettant de lire automatiquement les dossiers de santé, et d’en extraire les éléments importants – par exemple trouver le nom d’un médicament ou la durée d’un traitement. Ces informations pourront ensuite être «traduites» dans un format commun que les logiciels pourront facilement partager.
Cette solution offrira à l’entreprise partenaire, Omnimed, la possibilité d’améliorer son service de dossier médical électronique en rendant les données plus structurées et de le rendre plus compatible avec les autres systèmes canadiens. À terme, elle facilitera le travail des professionnels de santé, qui passeront moins de temps sur la saisie manuelle, et permettra une meilleure coordination des soins entre les établissements de santé.

Enquête sur l’état actuel de la productivité, des interdépendances et des conflits juridictionnels dans l’industrie de la construction : vers des alliances d’avenir

L’industrie de la construction est un secteur majeur au Québec puisqu’elle représente à elle seule 13% du PIB et 1 emploi sur 20. Cependant, la réglementation qui l’encadre pose quelques difficultés. Cette réglementation date de 1968 et il s’agit de la Loi sur les relations du travail, la formation professionnelle et la gestion de la main-d’oeuvre dans l’industrie de la construction, ou loi R-20. La problématique soulevée dans cette étude est la partie de cette loi relative à la formation obligatoire pour les vingt-cinq métiers du bâtiment. En effet, ce nombre exagéré de métiers à formation obligatoire a de nombreux impacts significatifs : augmentation du nombre de contrats à signer, augmentation des coûts et des délais de réalisation d’un projet, difficulté de coordonner les travailleurs sur le chantier, moins de polyvalence des travailleurs, diminution de la motivation et de la fierté du travail accompli pour les travailleurs qui ne se participent qu’à une partie infime de l’ouvrage, etc. L’objectif de cette recherche est donc de mettre en avant ces points faibles et de proposer des recommandations afin d’y remédier et de faciliter l’introduction d’innovations.

UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS OF VIBRATION PERCEPTION BY PLANTS

Plants are not passive bystanders, they sense their surroundings and react to threats through chemical and vibrational cues. A key example of this is when a plant detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by neighboring plants that have been damaged by herbivores. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), a subset of VOCs released in the atmosphere, are rapidly taken up by the inner tissues of plants via stomata, leading to [Ca2+]cyt increase and subsequent defense responses in Arabidopsis (GCaMP3) leaves. A key question scientists are now investigating is whether plants can use mechanical cues, such as the vibrations caused by herbivores, to activate defense mechanisms in a similar way to chemical communication. Thus, biotremology is a recently defined scientific discipline that studies the vibratory communication behavior through the use of substrate-borne vibrations. This research project aims to investigate the interaction between an herbivore species (L. trifolii ) and plants (Nicotiana tabacum), to investigate calcium signaling activation in response to vibrational cues emitted by chewing larvae. According to preliminary results, we expect that chewing vibrations will trigger a Ca2+ mediated signaling cascade in tobacco plants. These results will be integrated with other data to finalize a scientific publication.

Integrated Resource and Energy Recovery System from Organic Slurries.

This is the first time that leading edge technologies are being put together: a microwave (MW) treatment process, a struvite crystallizer and an anaerobic digester, as a total manure treatment system for typical dairy farm operations. The new 915 MHz microwave unit will provide efficient nutrient solubilization and the resulting solution is suitable for generating struvite (fertilizer). Due to the efficient breakdown of solids particulates by the MW process, methane production via anaerobic digestion will be highly efficient with reduced digester footprint and huge savings in capital cost. This project will provide an opportunity for Opus DaytonKnight to penetrate and lead in the provision of waste management services within the agricultural sector in North America. Opus DaytonKnight will be benefitted by being suitably positioned in the market place to provide added value by energy and nutrient recovery from agricultural waste streams through transfer of knowledge from their municipal and institutional ties.

A Study of Clients’ and Staff Perspectives of the Guelph Assertive Community Treatment Team’s Use of Community Treatment Orders

This study will give voice to the experiences and opinions of men and women diagnosed with serious mental illness who are clients of the Guelph Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) and at the same time subject to Community Treatment Orders (CTOs). Instituted in 2005, CTOs require that individuals abide by certain conditions in order to live in the community; they are intended to provide comprehensive community support for these individuals such that admission to hospital is decreased. The study will also increase knowledge about how and why CTOs are used by service providers. The use of CTOs is controversial because it can be seen as coercive and limiting of client choice and self-determination. No prior studies of this specific population have been conducted in Canada. The project will help the Homewood Health Centre and the ACTT better understand the perspective of their clients, which will lead to more effective collaboration and improved client outcomes.

5N2 Strategic Implementation Project

5N2 is a Scarborough, Ontario non-profit that fights food insecurity by rescuing surplus food and turning it into support for local families. Since starting as a small soup kitchen in 2013, it now delivers over 4,500 free meals and pantry support each week with 24 partner organizations (14 direct beneficiaries) across Scarborough and the GTA. To cut food waste and help fund its programs, 5N2 launched “5N2 Farms,” two shipping-container hydroponic farms that grow pesticide-free leafy greens year-round; sold locally under “Buy Greens that Do Good,” these sales help cover about $12,000 in monthly operating costs. The farms face challenges—uneven crop performance, limited distribution, and brand/marketing gaps—so customer growth is essential. In 2025, three Mitacs BSI interns recommended actions now ready to implement: a 70/30 B2C/B2B sales mix to build community loyalty and secure stable institutional accounts (e.g., the Metro Toronto Zoo), co-branding and potential facility leasing, and a quarterly cost-and-pricing review. A companion marketing plan will boost visibility through local influencers, community events and markets, frequent posts, website improvements, and basic cybersecurity. Three graduate research assistants—two in marketing/sales and one in web, social, and analytics—will carry out this work with an academic supervisor and 5N2’s leadership.

Collective will and the Brazilian Left: how is a real movement built out of a crisis of praxis?

This project is intended to follow and analyse the most recent activities of groups identified to be in the Brazilian Left. Through fieldwork and theoretical analysis, the goal is to understand how the Left views itself, how collective will can be developed within these groups, and if a critical pedagogical methodology can assist in this process. The ethnographic methodology employed in this project will help to identify who the main actors are and what kind of activities have been prioritized by Left organizations. This is very important considering the context of poverty and inequality in Brazil, as these activities are often related to social justice concerns. Strong divergences are expected to be found between the perspectives of Left organizations that, on the surface, seem to be in agreement, which will help to explain why the Brazilian Left is fragmented and part of a general crisis of democratic representation in Brazil.
