Thermodynamic modelling of binary and ternary deep eutectic solvents

Green solvents are expected to present certain features: availability, non-toxicity, recyclability, biodegradability, non-flammability and low cost. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been studied for the last two decades as a greener alternative to organic solvents since they have cheaper production, are less toxic and are commonly biodegradable. Although phase diagrams of several DESs have been measured, little attention has been paid to ternary systems. An extensive literature review revealed that only a few reports provide physicochemical properties and phase equilibrium data for these mixtures. This project is intended to measure reliable experimental data of ternary DESs that will permit to calibrate a thermodynamic model compatible with the FactSage thermochemical software package, both developed at Polytechnique Montréal. DESs are of interest to the research group in Portugal, a reference in the area. For the first time, our thermodynamic model will be applied to systems dominated by hydrogen bonds, and it is intended to be a powerful tool for modelling DESs.

Enhancing behavioural and mental health services for youth impacted by developmental trauma by strengthening caregiver and provider networks

Developmental trauma is often defined as experiencing family violence and/or caregiver disruption early in life. People who experienced developmental trauma have worse health and mental health outcomes throughout their life. The focus of this research will be on developing and evaluating mental health supports for youth and families impacted by developmental trauma. There are two key projects within this proposal. One project will provide support for caregivers by using “peer support” where a caregiver of anchild who experienced developmental trauma supports another caregiver whose child faced a similar situation. The second project is evaluating the impact of providing professionals with training in a therapy for youth and families impacted by developmental trauma, known as the Neurosequential Model. Both projects are thematically linked in that they try to improve care for youth impacted by developmental trauma by increasing the capacity of the child’s support network (family and care providers).

Asset Management using machine learning techniques

Perform an exploratory research to investigate the potential to extract knowledge by aggregating historical data across the company’s clients and applying machine learning techniques on them. The goal is to device prediction models that can forecast the condition of certain events(such as life of pipelines) using statistical analysis. Riva Modeling( partner organization) will benefit from the results of the research by being able to draw more meaningful inferences from the large amount of historical data available from the clients. The greatest benefit of the research goes to the clients of Riva, which includes more than 15 Canadian municipalities and additional cities and utilities in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. The research would lead to a large savings in the expenditure towards the maintenance of their assets.

Development of normal physiological behaviour classification using multi-modal biomarker dataset towards machine learning-driven medical devices.

This project aims to develop a large, labelled dataset of normal canine behaviour for use in developing machine learning algorithms to detect abnormal animal physiological behaviour. These machine learning algorithms will enable veterinarians to collect high-quality data of their patients in their natural environments. This innovative solution has the potential to improve the quality of care for canines experiencing chronic conditions such as epilepsy and cardiac syncope and enhance veterinary medicine’s understanding of these conditions.

Revue de littérature : 12 femmes innues et atikamekw – 12 parcours de vie – voix et voies de la vie professionnelle — Portraits féminins et réflexion comparative sur la sagesse, les valeurs et l’éthique du travail

Rédaction d’une revue de littérature narrative sur la sagesse des femmes autochtones dans le monde francophone en 2024 en partenariat avec Femmes autochtones Québec (FAQ-QNW). Cette revue de littérature aura un double objectif :
1) Orienter les chercheurs et partenaires dans ce qui s’est déjà écrit sur le sujet avant 2024;
2) Promouvoir, pour FAQ-QNW, les sources, les caractéristiques et les principes d’une éthique professionnelle des femmes autochtones qui travaillent dans leur communauté afin d’inspirer la persévérance scolaire et la résilience des futures générations. En effet, la littérature autochtone est porteuse de principes fondamentaux liés aux territoires d’origines, aux valeurs et aux pratiques ancestrales portées par les femmes autochtones, à leurs traumatismes, à leurs
dépossessions, mais aussi à la force de leurs transmissions et leurs combats pour retrouver leurs droits et leur identité culturelle dans une société moderne qui les a ignorées voir rabaissées (Puana, 2023).

Data Visualization Incorporating Social Collaboration for Asset Management

Through this research project the intern will investigate the potential of data visualization incorporating a social collaboration element tied to typical data types in asset management. The partner organization Riva Modeling Systems will benefit from the proposed research by providing its clients with an enhanced asset management tool that allows various groups or individuals within the client organization to collaborate in various data views and to see their interaction records on the central dashboard with visualized data. The impact of this enhancement would include that it would set apart the company from its competitors with this novel collaboration functionality and that it would enable client organizations to engage in more effective collaboration and to achieve more optimal results in asset management.

Development of plaque assays for marine and freshwater algal and cyanobacterial viruses

Cyanobacterial and microalgal host cells produce a range of bioactive compounds that makes them good candidates for drug discovery. At the same time, they themselves get infected by a range of different viruses. This means that understanding the interplay of these hosts with the viruses that infect them is crucial in order to optimize bioactive compound production and harvesting. There is therefore a need to learn more about the viruses that infect these hosts. A major obstacle is the inability for many of these hosts to grow on a solid media, which in turn does not allow to characterize their viruses by a plaque assay; a common microbiological method for assessing the infectivity of viruses and their lifestyle. This project will develop new plaque assay methods for cyanobacterial and algal viruses, and optimize the growth conditions required for the hosts to grow on solid medium.
