Développement d’un mélangeur de résine automatisé à composé de moulage en feuille pour l’industrie automobile

Les changements climatiques sont une réalité qui pousse l’industrie automobile à tenter de réduire leur empreinte écologique. De nouvelles normes environnementales obligent la réduction de consommation en carburant des nouveaux véhicules et les compagnies manufacturières se tournent dorénavant vers l’utilisation de matériaux composites légers pour des applications structurelles. L’objectif du projet de recherche est de développer un système de mélange et de distribution de résine pour la fabrication de composé de moulage en feuille (SMC : Sheet Moulding Compound) utilisé en moulage par compression. La problématique réside dans la haute viscosité des composantes et la compatibilité des mélanges. Par ailleurs, il est indispensable de développer des résines plus économiques à cuisson rapide. Le projet consiste en le développement d’un système de mélange haute viscosité adaptable à plusieurs structures de résine. TO BE CONT”D

Network Virtualization and Slicing in 5G Mobile Networks

Unlike services provided by current mobile networks only focus on voice and data, the services provided by 5G networks can range from high data rate services (e.g., VR) to ultra-reliable low latency communication (e.g., vehicle communication). Therefore, a more flexible and effective 5G mobile network is expected to be designed and operated. Network virtualization and slicing has been proposed to address these challenges to enable a new way to design, deploy and manage networking services. Can we implement network virtualization and slicing into 5G networks directly? Unfortunately, the answer is not straightforward. This project aims to develop necessary changes and innovations on the 5G network architecture so that new features of network virtualization and slicing can benefit 5G. Moreover, the industrial company can be beneficial from this internship on the integration of academic research and practical industrial implementation.

Impact of feeding and vaccination strategies on carcass outcomes in beef cattle

In western Canada, increased nutrient demand associated with decreased temperatures and increased fetal growth may lead to nutrient deficiencies in pregnant cattle. Compromised maternal nutrition can impact fetal muscle development, body weight gain, hot carcass weight, back fat and marbling. Vaccination strategy may also impact carcass outcomes of the offspring. Carcass evaluation is necessary to determine if these reactions persist until slaughter. In this study we will compare the growth performance, muscle development and carcass outcomes in male offspring from cows supplemented or non-supplemented from day 109 of gestation to parturition. The impact of injection techniques using needle-free vs. needle syringe injections on carcass outcomes, including injection site reactions will also be studied. To conclude, we will potentially define novel management strategies to improve cow performance as well as growth and carcass outcomes of the progeny.

Low-shear, scalable microfluidic sorting of platelets and leukocytes for pooled platelet lysate

Extem supplies research grade mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is looking to differentiate themselves by providing a proprietary human-derived growth media to replace the cow-derived fetal bovine serum (FBS) typically used. Pooled platelet lysate (PPL) may be a viable alternative. However, existing PPL methods lack quality control, standardization, and can result in up to 50% cell viability loss. Extem would like to develop a more economical solution that integrates beneficial quality control and standardization. By collaborating with Dr. Gray at Simon Fraser University (SFU), the team proposes to develop a scalable microfluidic solution with high-throughput and low cell loss. The development of such an isolation technology would allow Extem to remain leaders in the stem cell market and open up new markets such as the platelet rich plasma therapy market.

Optimization of Dispersin B in Escherichia coli

Kane Biotech Inc. is a Manitoba based company that provides innovative technologies that breakdown and disperse microbial biofilms. Dispersin B is an enzyme that both inhibits and disperses bacterial biofilms. Kane Biotech Inc. has expressed this enzyme protein in E. coli, with the goal of developing Dispersin B based products. Dispersin B yield and cost effective production are critical factors affecting the market opportunities for Kane Biotech’s Dispersin B products, estimated to be $10million in the next few years. Kane Biotech and Dr. David Levin, in the Department of Biosystems Engineering at the University of Manitoba, will work together to optimize production of Dispersin B. The specific goals of the proposed research are to identify an animal product free (APF) cell culture medium that supports maximal cell mass production and Dispersin B yields, and develop a scale-up fermentation process using the best APF medium in a bioreactor system.

Understanding the Influence of Partnership Structure on the Outcomes of Community Sustainability Plans

The intern’s study builds on an international survey previously completed in partnership with ICLEI. The study aims to test key structural features in the partnerships for implementing community sustainability plans and how these features are related to plan outcomes (i.e., sustainability progress). To study structure features, the intern will test key factors, such as partner engagement, decision-making systems, communication process & monitoring/reporting procedures, and their relationships with outcomes. This will be done through statistical analysis. The ways community resources (e.g. financial supports) are leveraged through cross-sector partnerships will also be studied. Since ICLEI provides tools and resources to its members to so they can implement community sustainable plans more effectively, the study will provide insights and information to improve its services.

Revues de techniques non-traditionnelles en analyse de données actuarielles

Historiquement, la science actuarielle a développé des techniques de modélisation appropriées pour la tarification, le provisionnement et la gestion des risques pour ne nommer que quelques domaines. Depuis quelques années, toutefois, de nouvelles techniques potentiellement prometteuses sont disponibles et commencent à émerger dans l’industrie de l’assurance. Portées par l’engouement de certaines communautés scientifiques, l’apprentissage statistique (« statistical learning ») ou plus généralement ce qu’on pourrait appeler la « science des données », pourrait être intéressant pour les compagnies d’assurance. Les techniques et algorithmes proposés dans ce domaine de la statistique pourraient permettre aux actuaires de mieux comprendre leurs bases de données et améliorer la qualité de leurs prévisions, ce qui leur permet ultimement de prendre des décisions d’affaire plus appropriées, notamment en matière de tarification et de gestion des risques.TO BE CONT’D

Insurance Vehicle Damage Claim Price Prediction

The main purpose of the internship is to research and create a product that can be used by insurance companies to streamline their claim processing pipeline. The task is to take images and text provided in an insurance claim and generate a prediction for the cost to repair the damage that is closer to the real cost of repair than can be achieved through human observers. The idea would be to use a sequence of models to analyze the images and text and to generate a real value prediction of the cost of repairs. The main benefits for the partner organization are a viable product for claim price prediction and the increased knowledge of the team in the theoretical and real world application of the cutting edge of research.

Characterization of a senescence response that occurs during cancer therapies in prostate cancer cells

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian men and the third deadliest. If the majority of PCa are well treated using first line treatments like surgery, radiation and/or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), a proportion of cases (10%) progress to metastatic cancer. At cellular level, cancer cells can initiate alternative responses to treatment varying from rapid programmed cell death to a state of growth arrest called senescence. Recent studies suggest that the specific proprieties develop by the senescent cells could be exploited to sensitize the cancer cells to the conventional therapies. We propose in this study to characterize the senescence phenotype induced by the first line therapies in prostate cancer cells and to use additional drugs targeting senescent cells to improve the efficiency of the current therapies.
