AI Denoising for Enhancing Gated Parametric Mapping of Rubidium-82 Cardiac PET

Cardiac PET is a powerful tool to assess heart function. One measure from a Cardiac PET study is left ventricle ejection fraction. This is mainly estimated through gated reconstructions of relative perfusion imaging and segmentation of the left ventricle myocardium. However, direct estimations of left ventricle volume and thus ejection fraction can be obtained by performing pharmacokinetic modeling on gated dynamic reconstructions to yield gated parametric images of blood fraction. However, gated dynamic reconstructions are subject to more noise due to binning short time frames into 8 or 16 bins throughout the cardiac cycle. The intern in this project will apply AI tools to denoise 1/8 or 1/16th dose images to full dose images (on short time frames) in order to improve pharmacokinetic fits and thus higher quality images of gated blood fraction and more accurate measures of ejection fraction.

Optimization of Co-product Production by Methylobacterium extorquens

TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, where it feeds off of waste methanol produced by plant cells, converting it into metabolites that help the plant grow. As Dr. McKenzie’s internship continues with TerraVerdae, in this next phase he will continue to measure the production of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and will investigate the relationship between IAA, biomass and bioplastic production. Dr. McKenzie will also quantity and determine the identity of an unknown carotenoid pigment that is produced by the organism.

Devenir des cyanures en milieu anaérobie/anoxique

Le cyanure est l’un des produits chimiques ayant un potentiel toxique élevé pour les organismes vivants selon sa forme et concentration. Il est utilisé dans l’extraction des métaux précieux tels que l’or et l’argent. Les rejets cyanurés qui s’accumulent dans les environnements fermés (anaérobies) peuvent présenter un risque pour la santé humaine et les écosystèmes, notamment si le cyanure s’accumule avant d’être dégradé à des niveaux non toxiques Cette étude vise à améliorer les connaissances relatives au comportement du cyanure en milieu anaérobie. Ces connaissances sont critiquement requises afin de mieux anticiper et mitiger les impacts environnementaux du cyanure en périphérie des sites miniers. Une attention spéciale sera sur la protection des ressources en eau souterraine. Des recommandations seront adressées au partenaire IAMGOLD Westwood Gold Mine en vue de contrôles les effets indésirables du cyanure par des solutions durables et économiquement viables. Les résultats obtenus serviront de base de données pour la recherche au Canada afin d’améliorer les connaissances scientifiques sur le devenir et la dégradation du cyanure en milieu anaérobie, une problématique encore mal comprise. Les approches développées dans le cadre de ce projet seront transférables à d’autres sites miniers.

Phosphorus removal by calcined eggshell adsorbents from agricultural soil systems and application of the adsorbent as a P fertilizer

Our project will explore the use of calcinated eggshells to reduce phosphorus runoff from farms, and reuse of these eggshells as fertilizers. The intern will test these calcinated eggshells mixed with woodchips to see how well they can absorb phosphorus under different conditions. They will also study how the phosphorus is distributed in the soil before and after treatment. Additionally, we will check if the eggshells can be reused as a slow-release fertilizer. The project will evaluate phosphorus sources from soil runoff by applying measurements of oxygen isotopes of phosphate from water and soil samples. This research will help the partner organization by providing a cost-effective and sustainable method to reduce phosphorus management and improve agricultural practices.

Quality Assurance of System Requirements Based on Large Language Models

Software requirements play a critical role in safety-critical cyber-physical systems as they are the foundation for designing, implementing, and testing of the software systems. Due to limited budget and time constraints, software requirements in a commercial setting tend to have unsatisfactory quality, which complicates downstream development activities. Prior research identifies dozens of quality attributes of software requirements such as completeness, correctness, and consistency. However, quality attributes can vary across different domains, especially within the automotive system. Currently, there remains a dearth of research in this field. Moreover, large language models have the potential to identify and remediate issues with respect to different quality attributes. We plan to identify a prioritized list of quality attributes by working with our industry partners. Next, to incorporate domain knowledge into large language models, prompting and fine-tuning are the most popular techniques. Finally, large language models will be used to identify and remediate quality issues in production-level software requirements. In summary, the goal of this project is to apply large language models on software requirements for commercial safety-critical cyber-physical systems to identify potential issues and provide fixes.

Prey sharing strategies of a threatened killer whale revealed through aerial imagery

To best conserve highly social species, conservation managers must consider how resources are distributed between group members. Northern Resident killer whales are listed as threatened and prey limitation is considered one of their primary threats. These whales share their limited prey with each other, and this prey sharing is central to their unusually stable social system. Recent advancements in aerial imagery technologies, particularity through drones, have expanded our knowledge of cetacean behaviour. While prey sharing has been described in Resident killer whales, examining this behaviour from an aerial perspective could offer new insights into how killer whales allocate resources. This project aims at 1) investigating prey sharing strategies in Northern Resident killer whales through aerial imagery analysis, 2) informing conservation measures by bringing the best available science to decision-makers, and 3) inspiring the North Island community members to protect Resident killer whales through the organization of educational community events.

Les défis contemporains de l’activisme actionnarial : étude et regards croisés Suisse/Canada

Le projet de recherche consiste en une étude à la fois théorique et pratique de l’activisme actionnarial. Il s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une thèse de doctorat en droit des sociétés, gouvernance d’entreprise, menée à l’Université de Lausanne sous la supervision des professeurs Damiano Canapa et Jean-Luc Chenaux. Le séjour de plusieurs semaines à l’Université de Montréal vise à identifier les défis juridiques contemporains (sur les plans théorique et pratique) que pose l’activisme actionnarial sous l’angle du droit des sociétés canadien et suisse et d’interroger les outils règlementaires actuels et futurs en mesure de répondre à ces préoccupations. La recherche mêlera des approches académique et empirique. Cette dernière sera effectuée au travers de discussions et interviews avec des institutions pratiquant l’activisme. L’objectif du projet de recherche est de confronter ces deux approches pour en identifier les éventuels hiatus susceptibles d’être comblés. Le projet de recherche est co-supervisé par la Prof. Biron de l’Université de Montréal et le Prof. Canapa de l’Université de Lausanne.
