Proteomic Analysis of Microbial Communities for Enhanced Bioremediation of BTEX Contaminated Sites

Soil and groundwater pollution with harmful petroleum contaminants such as BTEX is a global concern. BTEX has carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, therefore, it is essential to remove such contaminants for a healthy ecosystem. Microorganism-mediated bioremediation is an extremely promising technique that is cost-effective, efficient, and safe for the environment. However, limited biological knowledge about the cellular responses in microbial communities hinders in-situ bioremediation. Proteomics is a potential tool for addressing the molecular mechanisms of bioremediation and offers a comprehensive perspective of the protein compositions of microbial cells in environmental bioremediation research. Through comprehension of the molecular processes, scientists can develop sustainable remediation solutions that are more effective and precise. These creative solutions could improve Canada’s ability to clean up polluted areas and lessen the effects of pollution on the ecosystem. The current research project closely corresponds to the home (York University) and host (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) supervisors’ competence and research endeavors. The initiative might result in the integration of research findings, which would encourage ongoing partnerships and collaborative publications. This presents a chance to enhance their research portfolios and promote multidisciplinary collaboration by exchanging ideas, approaches, and best practices while working towards a common research aim.

Impact du type d’information sur le changement de comportement vers le vélo comme mode de transport

Face aux enjeux climatiques actuels, nombreuses sont les villes qui cherchent à augmenter l’importance du vélo comme mode de transport pour diminuer les émissions de GES liées à ce secteur. En plus de bonifier les infrastructures cyclables protégées, il est important d’accompagner le changement par différentes campagnes d’information.
Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de déterminer quels types d’information sont les plus efficaces pour convaincre les individus de changer leurs habitudes de mobilité ou du moins, d’adopter une attitude plus favorable envers les initiatives qui promeuvent l’utilisation du vélo. Le projet cherche également à comprendre l’incidence des différentes phases de changement quant à l’influence des différents types d’information.

From Hydro Bureaucrats to Hydro Entrepreneurs: Exploring the Impact of Changing Hydropower Politics on the Conceptions of Citizenship and Common Good in Turkey: A Case Study of Artvin

My doctoral research aims to understand the emerging contentions on common good and citizenship in Turkey as an implication of Turkey’s adoption of free market mechanisms in energy production. In my research, I analyze the different legal (courts), material (public participation meetings) and conceptual (posing livelihoods as an alternative to private property) sites these contentions occur in the context of rising rural resistances in Turkey.

Comprehensive evaluation of data-driven mode decomposition techniques for the analysis of separating and reattaching flows

This research project will systematically evaluate data-driven mode decomposition techniques (POD, Spectral POD (SPOD), finite impulse response SPOD (FIR-SPOD) and a machine-learning (ML) based nonlinear method) for separating and reattaching flows using existing experimental and numerical databases of a laminar boundary layer approaching an FFS. There will provide three significant results: (1) critical insight as to the effectiveness of different dimensional reduction techniques for the analysis of separated flow dynamics, (2) the development and evaluation of an ML-based nonlinear mode decomposition method for flow analysis, and (3) enhancement of understanding of key scale interactions in separated flows. We will be able to determine which method is most suitable for enhancing our understanding the dynamics of the flow, and which is most reliable for flow estimation and control purposes, as they may not be the same. These outcomes are a step towards enhancing knowledge of the physics of separated flows which are prevalent in bluff body aerodynamics (e.g., buildings), and the improvement of data-driven flow estimation, prediction and control tools which are crucial for remote sensing applications (e.g., drones in urban environments), which are of interest to an ongoing research collaboration between Institut Pprime, Université Paris-Saclay and University of Calgary.

Development of a Cost-Effective Machine Learning-Based Device for Predicting Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Agricultural Fields

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has initiated a program to reduce fertilizer N2O emissions by 30 % from 2020 to 2030 [14]. Accurate monitoring of agricultural N2O emissions is crucial for understanding their environmental impact and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
Current research mainly focuses on measuring N2O emissions from the ground. The spectroscopic-based LI-COR sensor is a typical instrument for measuring N2O emissions [19]. The instrument is expensive and typically costs a few hundred thousand to own. Therefore, there is a lack of cost-effective sensors that can predict nitrous oxide emissions from farmland, taking into account all the factors such as soil temperature, soil moisture, and nitrate level in the soil simultaneously.
This research aims to apply a machine learning technique to train a novel device using the N2O emissions data from a LI-COR sensor, as well as the amount of fertilizers in the soil, soil moisture, and soil temperature. After the device is trained, it can then be deployed to predict N2O emissions from agricultural fields using only data on nitrogen fertilizers in the soil, soil moisture, and soil temperature.

Incidence of Neonatal Sepsis in British Columbia

A retrospective cohort study design will be used to determine the population-based incidence of sepsis in infants up to 28 days after birth, and by gestational age in weeks. The project will use BC data from the Perinatal Registry on all births over 16 years, and readmissions up to 28 days after birth. The intern will gain experience applying fundamental epidemiology concepts in a research setting, develop problem solving skills, and gain hands on experience developing a research project in a new institution. This practicum will allow the intern to gain direct experience working in a clinical environment with epidemiologists. This project will allow the intern to develop their problem-solving skills and improve their understanding of the health status of a population (neonates in Canada), as well as using evidence and preexisting data to analyze gaps and limitations within key issues being addresses. The intern will gain experience in data analysis, while being exposed to provincial data sets through population administrative databases.

Transition comportementale dans l’adoption des technologies domestiques durables

La consommation d’énergie résidentielle est responsable d’une part considérable des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) des ménages. La majeure partie de cette consommation provient de sources d’énergies fossiles. Une transition rapide et profonde de la consommation des énergies fossiles vers des énergies renouvelables et de l’adoption des technologies facilitatrices peut contribuer de manière significative à la réduction des GES. La recherche sur les transitions comportementales vers la durabilité suscite un intérêt croissant, mais les recherches restent embryonnaires sur ces processus de transition. L’objectif de cette étude est de comprendre les transitions comportementales chez des individus et des groupes dans l’adoption de technologies d’utilisation des énergies renouvelables à des fins domestiques. Le gouvernement du Canada a investit plus de180 milliards de dollars sur 12 ans dans divers projets dont les infrastructures vertes. C’est dans ce cadre que Ressources Naturelles Canada finance un projet de communauté énergétique intelligente dans la ville de Shédiac au Nouveau-Brunswick. Le stagiaire doctoral aura pour rôle de contribuer aux études qualitatives qui seront conduites auprès de 167 personnes et menages impliqués dans ce projet.

Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Sound Communities Initiative

This project has two main goals: 1- to create SCI’s Strategic and Business plans, and Operational policies, and white papers to distribute widely, establishing “best practices” to foster EDIARD at our foundations and in the music industry more broadly. 2 – to research and produce music and cultural knowledge documenting and celebrating diverse communities, while also deliver public education and sharing the research and cultural knowledge. The unique contributions and strengths of our project are in creating a model for decolonizing the music industry, and training a new generation of professionals from marginalized backgrounds. Although each intern has a specific role, all of them are are expected to support the SCI´S operations to achieve those two objectives. Activities will range from planning, execution, financial management, creation of learning resources and digital assets such as films, content for social media, curriculum materials, etc. For details see 2.1b.
