Exploring the automation of animal health surveillance through natural language processing: A comparative analysis of supervised and unsupervised approaches for canine gastroenteritis

Canine gastroenteritis is a syndrome characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestines, resulting in acute onset diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. As no prophylactic treatment exists, veterinary health preparedness based on surveillance is a key preventive strategy. We propose a comparative empirical study applying various language modeling approaches to identify gastroenteritis outbreaks in UK dogs using SAVSNET data. Because practice-specific naming conventions and clinical narrative structures often lack standardized recording of clinical features, the models will be optimized for various veterinary applications to explore scalability.

Strengthening Rural Communities after Disruption: A Comparative Jurisdictional Analysis of Ontario and Australia

The goal of this project is to better understand the factors or barriers that may be hindering a stronger economic recovery in rural Ontario from the COVID-19 Pandemic; and build upon our understanding of how to enhance the resilience and robustness of rural communities in Ontario. To achieve this goal, a comparative jurisdictional scan between Australia and Ontario will be undertaken—since rural communities in these regions of these are situated in similar economic, political, and cultural environments. This comparative jurisdictional scan aims to identify potential new and innovative rural economic development strategies from international contexts.

Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics for quantum-compatible optical devices

There is a significant ongoing effort in using photonic technologies to implement quantum information processing and communications. This requires proper supporting devices, such as single photon sources, quantum-compatible delay lines, ultra-high-efficiency detectors, and others. This project proposes to fabricate, using Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics (SNAP) technology ultra-low-loss photonic devices that could be used to create highly efficient single-photon sources, and quantum-compatible optical delay lines with extremely low losses. These devices could be an important part of future quantum devices in computing and telecommunications. Both Concordia University and Aston University will benefit from the project. Concordia will gain access to the advanced facilities in Aston, and to its vast trove of knowledge in SNAP. Aston will renew its research collaboration with Concordia. The research done for htis project may lead to a joint application to available funding program such as NSERC Alliance International.

Politiques de soutien aux personnes seules en France et au Québec

Ce projet de recherche propose une étude comparative des politiques de soutien aux personnes vivant seules en France et au Québec, deux contextes ayant des approches distinctes face à cette catégorie de population. Les individus vivant seuls, en augmentation constante dans les sociétés occidentales, présentent souvent des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques, comme des revenus et des patrimoines plus bas et un accès limité au logement de qualité. Cependant, les politiques publiques ne prennent pas toujours en compte leurs conditions de vie spécifiques, liées au fait de ne pas cohabiter. En dressant un inventaire des dispositifs fiscaux et sociaux dans les deux contextes, ce projet vise à évaluer dans quelle mesure les personnes seules sont reconnues et soutenues par l’action publique.

Oleogel structured emulsions as plant-based dairy cream alternatives

Dairy products like milk and cream, as well as their vegan alternatives, are emulsions. In emulsions oil or fat droplets are dispersed in a water-based, protein-rich phase. Usually, these fat droplets consists out of saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature and impact the mouthfeel through their melting behaviour. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are liquid what therefore changes the mouthfeel of the emulsion. To solve this, we use oleogelation to gel unsaturated fats. By adding small amounts of structuring agents like sunflower wax or ethyl cellulose, we create oleogels that are suitable for the use in dairy cream alternatives. This allows us to create a better mouthfeel in emulsions that use unsaturated fats. With this project, Canada is therefore helping to develop healthier and more sustainable dairy cream alternatives with improved mouthfeel.

GRA-JSPS: Automated Metabolomics Software Tool for Nutritional Assessment of Diet Quality in Urine

A poor diet quality and overconsumption of ultra-processed foods represent a looming public health crisis as reflected by a global ‘pandemic’ of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Nutritional studies are prone to bias and misreporting as they typically rely on questionnaires to assess the role of diet on human health outcomes in large populations. This proposal aims to develop a new software tool for rapid and reliable assessment of a panel of urinary dietary biomarkers of food intake when using high throughput capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) technology. This collaborative research project will bring together leading research groups at McMaster University (Hamilton, Canada) and SFC-Keio University (Tsuruoka, Japan) with longstanding interests in advancing CE-MS based metabolomics as required for new advances in precision nutrition and chronic disease prevention.

Environmental monitoring, camera data collection and modelling in CEA

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is progressing toward innovative solutions specifically with remote monitoring instrumentation and artificial intelligence, can predict and detect physiological plant characteristics that will improve crop yield. The overall objective of this study is to design and build a test growth chamber to evaluate and remotely monitor environmental conditions and plant health. Environmental data will be collected with and without plants to understand sensor range and consistency. After building and testing the system, different plant species (oats, barley, canola, wild tobacco, medicinal plants, and possibly others) will be tested in situ to monitor plant growth and plant architecture. The collected environmental data with plant production data will be linked to develop an environmental thermal and mass flow model to better understand the operational parameters of this experimental growth space, provide valuable insight into assessing microclimate variability in CEA.

Heat Stress in Dairy Animals: Classification, Genetic Selection and Production Index

The objectives of the present study are to: evaluate the effects of environmental temperature on circadian variation of rectal temperature in dairy animals; determine thermo-resistant and thermo-sensitive groups of animals based on this temperature variation; examine new parameters for the ascertainment of caloric stress (e.g., minimum and maximum temperature ratio, number of hours above a certain temperature, and new bounds of temperature and humidity index (THI) more adapted to Brazilian conditions); how this new classification impacts the animals’ productivity, and the possibility of selecting thermo-resistant animals using genomic technologies. The use of automatic devices for animal monitoring allows for a detailed analysis and provides new insight into the thermo-regulation capacity of dairy cows.

Models of synchronous machines and renewable energies for the SPS library of Simulink Matlab

With the growing integration of renewable energy into power networks, their dynamic behavior has undergone significant changes. To ensure stability, it is essential to accurately model the dynamic behavior of key equipment,
such as synchronous generators and inverter-based sources, within these networks. This project focuses on the implementation, analysis, development, and validation of established models for synchronous generators, solar,
and battery systems. The detailed models of mentioned equipment will be implemented using MATLAB Simulink (particularly within the SPS library). The performance of these models will then be evaluated and validated against
established standards such as IEEE Std. 1110, WECC, and NERC, and compared with output results from other software, including PSS/E and DIgSILENT PowerFactory. On the other hand, implementing the accurate dynamic
model of these equipment in SPS library, which belongs to Hydro-Quebec (IREQ), can assist in the future dynamic studies of the network in IREQ.
