Road and Impervious Surface Contaminant Runoff Risks and Effects in Freshwater Pacific Salmon Streams

Urban streams are commonly unsuitable for salmon. One reason is pollution that rainfall washes from roads into waterways. For instance, coho salmon are very sensitive to a car tire additive present in road dust. It has killed adults before they spawn and likely affects young salmon too. This problem has been described in the US Pacific Northwest, but its extent in Western Canada is not well known. We propose a scientific research project in metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia to evaluate which types of roadway pollutants may enter streams at harmful amounts, when and where that happens following rainfall, and study the ways in which it affects fish health. We will use submerged sensors, measure contaminants in water samples, and make biological measurements on young coho placed in streams in cages. The work will include avenues for citizen science participation. The project will be conducted through a partnership between university faculty and Raincoast Conservation Foundation, a conservation science organization. The research will support Raincoast’s mission by answering the above questions for government natural resource managers, community stakeholders, engineers, and local First Nations through a combination of data for scientists and information for the public.

Town of Vermilion IT and Innovation

The Town of Vermilion is an urban municipality located 200km east of Edmonton, with approximately 3,900 residents and a staff of approximately 100 positions including seasonal and casual (eg: fire fighters.) As a small municipality with limited resources our systems are in need of modernization, and innovation in any area is of great benefit to our organization and the taxpayers. The Town of Vermilion has an out of date local network, building security and ERP system. The out of date local network complicates working remotely. Building security is an issue with a metal key based system as keys are often copied without approval or not
returned. One facility has been converted to FOBs however more facilities need to be converted, and we need an intern to be physically present to help coordinate between our contractors.

Diffusion Language Models for Conditional Code Generation

Have you heard about DALL·E 2, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion? Or perhaps you were fooled by the picture of the pope in a puffy white coat, or by some other deepfake memes involving stars and/or politicians? Well, good or bad, these feats are made possible by a technology called generative diffusion models. Although they are mostly known for generating visually stunning images, these models can basically learn to generate any kind of document, as long as we have enough such documents to teach them with. It turns out that there is a great deal of computer code on the internet, and that the BigCode project has already done the hard work of curating it in a responsible manner. We will thus train diffusion models that can write computer code, taking advantages of special properties of diffusion models to coerce them in doing what we want them to do.

Controlling wetting and ionic transport in graphene-ionic liquid-based supercapacitors

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be charged and discharged much faster than batteries while also being more reliable and exhibiting nearly indefinite cycle-life. Graphene-based materials which are a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibit the highest surface area of any material and have the potential to form the ideal supercapacitor electrodes, if we could figure out a way to ensure all the single layers are accessible to the electrolyte. The proposed research aims to better understand a newly developed approach to spontaneously assemble graphene electrodes separated by ionic liquids – a high voltage electrolyte used in supercapacitors. Using ion bombardment, we will study how drilling holes in the graphene improve ionic transport and will reveal how the ionic liquid distributes in the composite. The knowledge gained will be used to engineer improved supercapacitors.

Prolonged Rat Heart Storage Using Sub-Zero Temperatures and AntifreezeProteins: Feasibility Assessments

Heart transplantation depends on being able to move a donor heart from the location of harvest to the
hospital where it will be implanted, and having the heart work once it is implanted. The time between
excision and implantation is called the ischemic time. The safe ischemic time is about 4 to 6 hrs;
hearts implanted after this interval have much less chance of survival. This safe ischemic time has not
changed in > 30 years. Extending this ischemic time would allow transportation of donor hearts from
longer distances, potentially increasing the number of matches between donors and recipients, thus
increasing the number of transplants. In this experiment, we propose to test a novel method of storing
hearts at sub-zero temperatures, which should extend the time dramatically. Preliminary studies with
a variety of tissues and cell lines have been very promising. This series of experiments to be
supported by this grant will use a standard isolated rat heart preparation. If it proves successful, we
will then test it in subsequent studies of more complex systems. The method involves the use of
antifreeze proteins and other additives in a solution, which will be flushed into the hearts of rats. TOBECONT’D

Étude géologique, métallurgique et environnementale d’un gisement de pegmatite lithinifère

Le lithium et le tantale fait partie des minéraux critiques (MC) identifiés par le Canada. De nombreux gîtes à Li-Ta ont été répertoriés au Québec et afin de promouvoir l’exploitation responsable de ceux-ci, il est impératif de réaliser une caractérisation détaillée qui déterminera le modèle d’exploration, la ressource exploitable ainsi que les risques environnementaux. L’identification de ces deux derniers points tôt dans l’exploration d’un gisement permet de réduire les risques liés à un projet minier. Les minéralisations en Li-Ta de la propriété Corvette de Patriot Battery Metals sont situées en Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. L’exploration jusqu’à présent indique la présence de plusieurs pegmatites aux caractéristiques variables. Ce projet constitue une opportunité unique d’augmenter les connaissances quant à la géologie, la géochimie et la minéralogie des gisements de Li-Ta en climat nordique. L’objectif général de ce projet est de caractériser la zonation géospatiale de ces différentes pegmatites dans le but de déterminer la pétrogenèse des pegmatites afin d’identifier les paramètres de mise en place, d’optimiser la récupération des MC disponibles et d’évaluer les risques de contamination des effluents. Les retombées escomptées sont une exploration mieux ciblée, une récupération de tous les MC possibles et une réduction des risques environnementaux.

Mise au point d’un protocole d’impression 3D de comprimés d’hydroxyurée

L’hydroxyurée est un médicament utilisé pour prévenir les complications de l’anémie falciforme ainsi qu’en chimiothérapie d’appoint pour certaines leucémies. En pédiatrie, l’hydroxyurée doit toutefois être ajustée selon le poids de l’enfant, ses prises de sang et la toxicité perçue. Or, au Canada, seule la formulation de 500 milligrammes est disponible. Ainsi, nos hôpitaux et nos pharmacies préparent l’hydroxyurée sous forme de magistrale liquide orale, où les capsules sont manuellement ouvertes une par une et mélangées à un véhicule liquide. Cette pratique n’est pas optimale considérant que ces manipulations sont coûteuses, complexes et risquées. En effet, l’hydroxyurée figurant sur la liste des NIOSH, sa manipulation met à risque ses préparateurs. Nous chercherons donc à mettre au point, à optimiser et à caractériser une formulation solide orale d’hydroxyurée par impression 3D. Ce projet a non seulement le potentiel de répondre à un besoin important en matière de qualité et de sécurité de certaines préparations magistrales, mais aussi de faire considérablement progresser le domaine de la médecine personnalisée au Canada.

Electrochemical exfoliation of transition metal dichalcogenides for improved photodetection

Transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide, can be thinned down from bulk crystals into few or single atomic layers that exhibit unique optoelectronic properties due to quantum confinement. The proposed work aims to exfoliate these materials into single to few layers using a new electrochemical exfoliation technique and to study their optoelectronic properties when deposited as single layers using a technique where these materials are floated on water to create large area films. Their response to light will be evaluated to determine their effectiveness as potential device candidates and bottlenecks to electron/hole transport will be determined using various state-of-the-art characterization facilities.

Towards Inclusive Mobility: Designing Augmented Reality Interaction with Autonomous Vehicles for Older Adults

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent an emerging technology, and initially, individuals may feel less confident in autonomous driving systems without human drivers. A proper communication medium between passengers and AVs can facilitate a safe and reliable experience. Older adults are expected to be one of the largest user cohorts of AVs as they support aging in place and independent mobility.
Our research will explore accessible interface solutions for older adults through interviews and co-design sessions, allowing them to quickly locate and ride autonomous vehicles without experiencing anxiety and frustration. Based on the findings, we will design an augmented reality application with verbal commands and multi-sensory notifications (visual, auditory, tactile), which will function as a ‘training wheel’ to promote their confidence and adaptability. Overall, the research outcome will bring inclusion to advance this AV technology and allow elderly Canadians to travel independently to meet their doctor’s appointments, socialize, and age in place.

Constraints Enforcement Using the Lagrange Multipliers Method for Aeriservoelastic Applications

The ever-increasing need for better performing, safer and environmentally friendly aircrafts, necessitates the continuous refinement of the predictive tools that are employed during the design and certification phases. The field of aeroservoelasti city, which encompasses airframe flexibility, control laws and aerodynamics, is of paramount importance in the design of modern aircrafts given their increased airframe flexibility and automation, and it is at the forefront of research interest by aircraft manufacturers.
This proposal aims to refine the aeroservoelastic analysis tools of Bombardier within the industry-accepted aeroelastic modelling environment of MSC. Nastran. The proposal will also explore the nonlinear predictive capabilities of MSC.Nastran in the presence of modelling nonlinearities at the joint interface between the control surface and the main surface. Furthermore, the aeroservoelastic response when utilizing electromechanical actuators in place of the conventional hydraulics ones will be obtained. The completion of the proposed research herein will set the stage for further research in nonlinear aeroservoelasticity for more electric aircrafts.
