Développement de membranes à matrices mixtes pour des applications en énergie renouvelable

Ce projet représente le développement d’une technologie de séparation des gaz par membrane. Cette technologie nouvelle sera basée sur le concept de membranes à matrices mixtes qui a fait l’objet de travaux récents à l’Université Laval. Ces travaux portaient sur la conception de mélanges de polymère avec des particules inorganiques et organiques capables de séparer les constituants du mélange gazeux (par exemple CO2/CH4, CO2/N2 ou les autres gaz). Les membranes conçues sont fonctionnelles, mais des travaux visant à leur fournir une configuration performante (fibre creuse) pour permettre leur passage à la forme industrielle et à assurer la séparation des phases gazeuses. Les équipements de séparation des gaz existants sont très dispendieux et il est certain que la séparation par membranes serait beaucoup plus économique, au niveau de son installation et son opération, en particulier pour les petites installations.

Viroïde latent du houblon (HLVd) dans les cultures in vitro

En tant que propagateur de plants in vitro, notre objectif est de livrer aux grossistes et aux producteurs de fruits des plants sains et exempts de maladies. Les virus de plantes doivent donc être détectés et éliminés rapidement et dès le début du processus de culture in vitro. La demande de plants in vitro par les producteurs de houblon et de cannabis nous confrontent au virus appelé viroïde latent du houblon (HLVd).
L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de documenter la distribution et la vitesse de propagation du viroïde latent du houblon (HLVd) dans des cultures in vitro déjà infectées et ayant subies un traitement par le froid. L’utilisation de techniques moléculaires (RT-PCR) permettra de détecter le virus afin de prélever et de propager du matériel in vitro sains.
L’avantage principal que retirera l’organisme partenaire sera l’information obtenue sur la distribution et la propagation du virus HLVd dans les cultures in vitro. Avec les nouvelles demandes et la diversité de cultivars reçues à l’entreprise, il est important de connaître et d’acquérir de l’expertise sur les différents virus problématiques.

Enabling no-till corn and soybean production in high-residue environments via improved planter components

Adoption of cover crops and reduced/no tillage is limited due to farmer observations of yield decline impacting farm income and profitability. One main obstacle is the issue of planting in soils laden with surface crop residue, which forms a kind of mat that impedes planting operations, thereby delaying emergence, reducing plant stand, and ultimately lowering yield. Currently tillage is the normal option chosen to deal with surface residue.
Modifying planter components can improve yields in high-residue fields. Susterre’s Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) water jet system was found to not only prevent yield reduction in no-till high-residue situations but also boost yields by 6-12%. By validating this technology’s effectiveness in Ontario, we could revitalize the adoption no-till and cover cropping in Ontario.
General methods: Field trials at UofG’s Ridgetown and Winchester stations (corn and soybean) will compare UHP to traditional planters in varying surface residue conditions, supplemented by a farmer-focused UHP demo day.
Deliverables: Completed field trials dataset for product validation in Ontario, M.Sc thesis chapter, one farmer-focused extension presentation on UHP

Culture of Outports

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of these communities is essential in order to successfully plan and manage their future evolution, post the 1992 cod moratorium and other restrictions on the traditional fisheries. The first stage of our work is a research study and production of a Cultural Background Report. This research project will outline the community’s historic evolution, produce cultural mappings, context plans and an inventory of tangible and intangible cultural heritage resources that may include buildings, structures, cultural landscape features, fishing and shipbuilding sites, changes in industry and infrastructure. The report will also identify community values and priorities and will suggest opportunities for sustainable development and long-term growth within the community.

L’intervention par la nature et l’aventure (INA) comme outil de renforcement du pouvoir d’agir sur un territoire en transition

À l’été 2023, les municipalités du Bas-Saguenay Sud ont été affectées par des manifestations des changements climatiques. Dans ce contexte, la communauté de Petit-Saguenay souhaite interpeller les communautés environnantes à se joindre au processus de transition socioécologique (TSÉ) initiée à travers les Ateliers des savoirs partagés (ASP). Le but de cette démarche concertée sera d’accroître la résilience du territoire en contexte de TSÉ. Ce projet de recherche vise à accompagner cette démarche à travers une recherche-action qui impliquera les principaux acteurs concernés (entreprises touristiques et agricoles, élus, citoyens impliqués, organismes communautaires, jeunes, etc.) pour oeuvrer à l’établissement d’un plan d’action de TSÉ. Notre hypothèse est que l’intervention par la nature et l’aventure (INA), en tant que stratégie de renforcement des capacités personnelles – peut aussi contribuer au renforcement des capacités collectives dans un territoire en transition. Nous vérifierons cette hypothèse en réalisant des activités d’INA auprès de participants dans le cadre de la démarche des acteurs du Bas-Saguenay Sud, puis en analysant les retombées de ces interventions sur le plan personnel et interpersonnel, mais aussi sur leur processus collectif.

Evaluating the depositional and diagenetic history of the Devonian Dawson Bay Formation: Implications for Saskatchewan’s conventional potash mines

Sedimentary rocks undergo chemical and physical alteration as they are buried beneath Earth’s surface. Understanding these alteration processes is important in understanding the rocks potential as groundwater aquifers, in understanding the geohazards they may pose, and more. The Dawson Bay Formation is a 385-million-year-old limestone present across Saskatchewan that had a peculiar set of conditions affecting its alteration. It also lies immediately overtop of widespread potash deposits. Potash plays a vital role as a nutrient for boosting crop yields and enhancing plant resilience and is extracted from underground mines spread across Saskatchewan. Safety and mine longevity are of paramount importance in potash mines. The Dawson Bay Formation limestone typically limits the amount of groundwater flowing down into potash mines below. However, in some cases its alteration history has led to fluid flow conduits that risk mine operations. Understanding this alteration is therefore crucial to mitigating risk.

Advanced Transceiver Design for Smart Grid Communications

Smart grids, the future of electricity grids, aim to accommodate the escalating global demand for electricity. Pivotal to this progression are wireless networks, which are crucial for monitoring and controlling electricity generation, transmission, and consumption. Wireless networks, with their cost-effectiveness, flexibility, expansive coverage, inherent self-organization, and rapid deployment, are superseding traditional wired communication. However, the transition presents formidable challenges, such as robust RF interference or impulsive noise in adverse environments.
This research project aims to surmount these obstacles by improving the robustness and efficiency of wireless communication systems in smart grids, focusing on combating impulsive noise with memory. By focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Semantic Communication, the project will ensure that the meaning and intent behind the information are accurately conveyed and understood, despite the presence of impulsive noise and strong RF interference. This approach promises not only to optimize the use of the wireless spectrum but also to maintain the reliability of critical information transmission within smart grids. Through precise noise modeling, AI-driven transceiver design, and the advancement of semantic-based multiple access techniques, this research aims to advance the field of wireless communications for smart grids, ensuring efficient and reliable electricity distribution in response to the evolving energy landscape.

Access Justice in Post-Secondary Education: Advancing Remote and Hybrid Options for Accessible Learning, Work, and Community

The surge in options for online participation that accompanied the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was recognized by disability community members as a potential basis for accessibility gains, including in employment and education, where remote and hybrid access accommodations were previously characterized as impossible to implement. As much of the world has “returned to normal” following the cancellation of pandemic precautions, the withdrawal of remote and hybrid access options has resulted in the exclusion of many disabled people. Through this project, I aim to learn from disabled people about how the rollback of remote and hybrid options for working, learning and community participation in the post-secondary education sector in Canada has impacted their lives; and to understand how advocates and activists in this sector enact disability-centred access practices through their work to support options for accessible remote and hybrid participation. In collaboration with Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice at the University of Guelph and Surface Impression, an industry leader in accessible digital design, I will create a series of public digital resources to promote awareness of the importance of remote and hybrid access, and practical guidelines for their successful—and fully accessible— implementation.

Development of Compact Robot for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of the target, thus through the combination of optical tracking, robotic precision, and fixed coil support, the proposed robotic holder would be capable of repeatable and accurate positioning of a TMS coil. The system would allow for the user to freely manipulate a support arm in order to place the coil within a rough area of the target. Following initial placement, the user would lock the arm and allow the robotic holder to execute the final position refinement using optical tracking as a closed-loop feedback. This new project will allow Rogue Research Inc. to access an untouched market for low-cost precision solutions to TMS coil placement, especially within research settings
