Étude sur le défaut septal ventriculaire – L’impact de la patient-spécificité sur des accidents de la route

Ce projet étudiera l’impact des accidents de route et les mécanismes associés à la communication interventriculaire post-traumatique.
Deux théories dominantes ont été décrites: 1) une compression aiguë du cœur entre le sternum et la colonne vertébrale, entraînant une augmentation soudaine de la pression intracardiaque à la fin de la diastole ou de la systole isovolumétrique, 2) une perturbation microvasculaire provoquée par une lésion du myocarde, conduisant à un infarctus et à une liquéfaction du septum.
La partie1 étudiera le mécanisme basé sur un modèle localisé 1D du cœur sur Circadapt. Elle simulera différentes hypothèses en termes de modification pression/volume: simuler l’effet du blunt et de la circulation sanguine.
La partie2 quantifiera le changement de débit associé aux changements morphologiques et anatomiques ventriculaires et septaux. L’étude examinera la modification de la contraction ventriculaire et de la pression de remplissage et des volumes des deux ventricules en cas de VSD aigu; la modification du flux pulmonaire et son impact dans ces conditions; les propriétés matérielles du myocarde septal.
La partie3 créera un simulateur cardiaque pour la validation du modèle cardiaque. Une telle création de fantôme permettra de reproduire l’altération du remplissage et de la pression ventriculaire à l’aide d’un fantôme à deux chambres.

Incorporation of municipal solid wastes for the development of an efficient CO2 utilization polygeneration process

This project deals with designing an efficient polygeneration process that incorporates municipal solid waste (MSW) drying and conversion to syngas process for reducing the load on the hydrogen unit of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes. The main benefit of this system is the production of high-pressure steam and high-quality syngas with minimum greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the whole idea of the project is that instead of incinerating the waste with environmental impacts, convert it into a value-added product such as jet fuel.

Leak Detection with Economics-Driven Convolutional Neural Networks applied to German cities and benchmarking with previous studies

This project aims to employ cutting-edge deep learning models to address the critical issue of water leakage in water distribution networks (WDNs). Leakage in WDNs leads to significant water wastage, infrastructure damage, service disruption, and even contamination. The proposed approach leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained explicitly for optimizing leak detection. Using synthetic datasets that simulate leaks of varying sizes, times, and locations, it is intended to develop a model that excels at economic score-based leak detection. This project’s primary focus is to provide efficient and accurate AI-based solutions for promptly identifying and pinpointing leaks in WDNs across German cities; since Canadian cities are experiencing a high level of water leakages, in the future steps, applying the developed model to Canadian cities. The expected benefit for participating institutions is to enhance the sustainability and reliability of water distribution systems, reduce water loss, and contribute to a more resilient and cost-effective water infrastructure management.

Hydrothermal Deoxygenation of Triglyceride aided by in-situ Hydrogen Production from Glycerol Reforming

Nowadays, many studies are engaged in improving sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technologies to advance the utilization of cleaner energy sources and aviation fuels. However, as of today, SAF accounts for less than 1% of jet fuel consumption due to production costs associated with feedstocks, catalysts, and renewable hydrogen. Our project focuses on lowering SAF production costs, particularly addressing the high costs of precious metal catalysts, hydrogen production, and the challenges of utilizing vegetable or waste oils as feedstocks. Our objectives are twofold: First, we develop a catalytic system involving the SAF production process aided by glycerol reforming. Second, we intend to optimize the cost-effective bimetallic Pt-Pd catalysts.
The project offers valuable knowledge on converting waste into marketable products while simultaneously mitigating the environmental impact of our industrial sectors. Compared with conventional jet fuel, SAF has the potential to reduce GHG emissions by up to 94% depending on feedstock and technology pathways. Also, results would be published in top journals in the area. Thanks to the student exchange, investigating research methodologies at both institutions will be developed. The project will lead to stronger collaborations in the future.

Exploring the Methods and Mechanisms of Prosocial Development in Middle Childhood

Prosocial behaviors (i.e., acts that benefit others) appear early in human development and are associated with numerous positive developmental outcomes. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms underlying childhood prosociality remain relatively unclear. To further the field of prosocial development, an international and multi-institutional collaboration led by three prominent prosocial behavior researchers (Kristen Dunfield, Markus Paulus, and Nikolaus Steinbeis) is currently underway. This longitudinal research projects aims to further our understanding of the phenomenon by examining key candidate mechanisms within a large age-range (i.e., 3.5 to 7-year old) in order to identify common and distinct mechanisms underlying three prototypical varieties of prosocial behavior (i.e., helping, sharing, comforting).
Additionally, a sub-project aim of this larger project includes validating a parent-report measure of childhood prosociality in both English and German. A parent-report measure of prosociality will allow researchers to examine prosocial behavior in more diverse samples and to better track the associations between prosociality and positive developmental outcomes.
Considering the importance of prosociality in childhood, a deeper understanding of the phenomenon is critical in our ability to promote prosociality through the creation and implementation of targeted prosocial interventions.

Optimization of the production of the new biosurfactant ananatoside by the bacterium Pantoea ananatis

Surfactants are chemical compounds used as active ingredients in a large array of products, such as soaps and detergents. However, they can become pollutants and toxicants, and their production is not sustainable (derived from petrochemical processes). One attractive alternative is the use of biological surfactants from microbial origin. We have identified a promising new biosurfactants called ananatosides. This is project will aim in optimizing the production by the producing microorganism, the bacterium Pantoea ananatis, to ultimately develop of commercial process. A collection of strains will be investigated to identify the best producer and the culture conditions will be improved to maximize the yields.

Knowledge Architectures: Mapping Virtual Processes of Digital-Musical Heritagization in Formal and Grassroots Jewish Communities in Montreal

This project is an interdisciplinary investigation of the music in online communities or digitally-oriented aspects in Jewish institutions and groups based in Montreal and the surrounding area. This project fully supports the intern’s career growth by stimulating a rich inquiry into the diversity of the intangible heritage of Jewish Montreal; in so doing it is also broadly impactful in that it 1. highlights the importance of intangible cultural heritage in virtual grassroots environments 2. dismantles bounded perceptions of minorities in Quebec by engaging with the inherently transnational and intercultural dynamics of minority communities in the here-and-now; 3. destabilizes polarized conceptualizations of minority-state relations by highlighting minority agency, creativity, and sustainability 4. has an important nuancing and humanizing impact, which is particularly important in a situation in which there has been a record rise in global antisemitism and other hate-oriented (racist, transphobic, Islamophobic, and other) agendas. The project will form a precedent for further collaborative research between the Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies at Concordia University and its arts and music focus under its new director, and the ongoing major research on Jewish cultural heritage at the European Centre for Jewish Music in Hanover, Germany.
