Oxy-fuel combustion flue gas capture based on rapid cycle vacuum pressure swing adsorption (RCVPSA)

Greenhouse gas emission is a growing hazard, and in Canada, facilities emitting GHG over 10 kt CO2 eq/yr are mandated to report their emissions. Oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) is one promising solution for decarbonizing industrial production plants with post-combustion carbon capture. However, the implementation in existing facilities is limited by logistical aspects such as the lack of space necessary for the installation of the gas processing units. The project intends to leverage the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process to facilitate the OFC gas unit integration through miniaturization and process intensification. The
research aims to develop a rapid-cycle vacuum pressure swing adsorption (RCVPSA) system, which reduces the size of the adsorbent columns down to 20% compared to current benchmarks while maintaining the gas yield. A rotary valve design has been devised to substitute the solenoid valve system normally present in PSA applications. Adsorbent structures are investigated to adapt to the more demanding operational conditions.

Conception et documentation de l’exposition inaugurale et permanente du Musée canadien de l’aluminium. L’aluminium comme phénomène historique et culturel au Canada

Ce projet vise la conception et la documentation de l’exposition inaugurale et permanente du Musée canadien de l’aluminium, en considérant plus particulièrement l’aluminium en tant que phénomène historique et culturel au Canada. Le projet vise ainsi à définir une offre muséale innovante sur les scènes québécoise, canadienne et internationale, tout en comblant des lacunes importantes sur le plan des connaissances, de la valorisation historique et de l’accès public au patrimoine.
En effet, bien que le Canada ait été longtemps au XXe siècle le principal producteur d’aluminium, ce métal le 2e plus utilisé dans le monde,l’aventure aluminière québécoise et canadienne reste peu connue et risque de tomber dans l’oubli. Ce problème est d’autant plus critique que les travailleurs et les travailleuses, qui ont jalonné cette histoire, sont eux-mêmes relégués à l’arrière-scène par les fermetures et les reconfigurations qui ont affecté cette industrie. Il semble donc naturel de mettre à profit l’héritage matériel de celle-ci, plus encore dans les murs de la première aluminerie canadienne, pour revaloriser le rôle social et la parole de ces personnes et de leurs communautés, particulièrement en intégrant leur participation à un récit scientifique, informé et original sur l’aluminium, centré sur le Québec, le Canada et Shawinigan.

Pharmacist-physiotherapist collaborative management for early knee osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually attempt to treat their OA with pain medication therefore Alberta pharmacists can be seen as a first point of contact for these individuals to access appropriate care. Education, self-management, and exercise are elements that aid in managing this progressive chronic condition. Typically, a health care professional such as a physiotherapist or pharmacist may help with the development and application of these self-management skills. In this study, the primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-month pharmacist-physiotherapist community collaboration in patients with early knee OA on pain relief and functional improvement. The proposed research looking at early OA in the community will be of particular interest to Arthritis Research Canada (ARC) given its mandate of arthritis including OA. Little research has looked at early knee OA in the community; it has, more often than not, looked at moderate to advance OA when people access the medical system. The findings from this work will be of particular to the arthritis networks such as The Arthritis Society.

Synthesis and Application of Tritiated Activin Receptor Like Kinase 2 Radioligands for Molecular Investigations of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. We are a part of a global, open science initiative to find effective treatments for children suffering from DIPG. There is an enzyme called ALK2 that is mutated to be overly active in many children suffering from DIPG, with up to 30% of patients expressing mutant ALK2. These over-activating mutations are thought to contribute to DIPG tumour growth and aggression, so developing a drug for inhibiting ALK2 is a promising route for treating DIPG. The goal of this proposal is to develop a molecular imaging tool (or radioligand) that can be used to efficiently screen potential ALK2 drug candidates and imaging agents in vitro to help expedite the drug discovery process for treating DIPG. We will also use these radioligands to further study autopsied DIPG tumour tissues to learn more about potential therpeutic targets and imaging biomarkers in this disease.

Development of a low-cost underwater robot for inference of localization and environmental mapping

We will continue work on an inexpensive device developed for water column monitoring, using technology in development by Kinsol Research. The overall research project currently being undertaken is to create a device that can autonomously descend through a column of water to pre-set depths, gather measurements from various sensors (e.g. temperature and light level) during its descent, and then return to the surface. Future applications for this device include: water monitoring, research into multi-robot underwater problems, and engineering education. The ACCELERATE research project would involve adding Kinsol Research’s Spider networking technology as a command and control module for the robot, finishing development of the application, performing experiments, and writing a research paper. Kinsol Research will benefit from the polishing of its Spider software and hardware into a product more usable by customers. The project will also potentially demonstrate that Kinsol Research’s networking technology is ready for marketing deployment in research and commercial markets.

Enhance teaching methodologies and learning by leveraging collaborative software

Smart or intelligent classrooms utilize advanced interactive technologies to support instructors and learners in a hybrid learning environment. However, effectively integrating these technologies with the instructors’ curriculum and aligning them with students’ needs remains a challenge. Distinct from typical hybrid learning platforms, X2O’s OneRoom is designed to preserve the learning experiences of online students and to engage all participants in a collaborative learning process through innovative technologies. While OneRoom has shown many strengths, it has also faced some of the previously discussed challenges. X2O Media wants ?to improve the effectiveness of high-performance individuals through more targeted and efficient teaching and learning methods and better understand what teaching methodologies and tools, including AI, could be leveraged for both the teacher and the student. This proposal outlines a design-based research approach that includes both qualitative (e.g., interviews, think-aloud protocols) and quantitative methods (e.g., educational data mining and machine learning techniques) aimed at thoroughly enhancing the viability and effectiveness of X2O’s smart classroom design. This project represents the first application of design-based research to evaluate an industrial product like OneRoom. It offers an opportunity to iteratively examine various design frameworks and consider the evolving needs of different stakeholders through multiple rounds of experimentation.
