THE INFLUENCE OF PREMATURE CALCIFICATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THETRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE

The proposed project is aimed to provide information on the mechanism of premature calcification in the
Transcatheter Aortic Valves through a complete investigation of the physicochemical factors influencing the process
(chemical composition, pH, temperature, fluid dynamics, and the presence of foreign inorganic and organic
substances). The outcome of the proposed research project would allow formulation of the test criterions for proper
identification of the valve design prone to premature, flow-induced calcification.
The outcome of the proposed research would allow industrial partner, ViVitro Labs Inc., to expand the range of their
testing services towards the evaluation of the functional efficiency and biocompatibility of the implant prototypes
with respect to flow-induced calcification, allowing predetermining the risk of second operation for the substitution of
the defective implant. In addition to that, industrial partner would be able to propose a commercial system, capable of monitoring the process of flow-induced calcification, to its clients.

Veille technologique sur l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la découvrabilité dans le secteur culturel

Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet du Centre d’excellence international de Montréal en intelligence artificielle (CEIMIA) dont le but est d’étudier comment l’intelligence artificielle peut contribuer à une meilleure découvrabilité des contenus culturels francophones, et à en traiter les enjeux, dans le contexte actuel des écosystèmes culturels et numériques. La littérature scientifique sur l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle se développe rapidement et les débats que suscitent ses différentes applications résonnent au cœur des sociétés contemporaines, en faisant un objet potentiel de régulation par tous les paliers de gouvernement. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous estimons qu’il est nécessaire d’établir une veille technologique traitant des questions liées à l’intelligence artificielle et à la découvrabilité. L’objectif général de notre projet de recherche est de renseigner le comité aviseur du projet découvrabilité du CEIMIA sur les développements technologiques de l’IA, les débats qu’elle suscite et de participer à la réflexion sur les outils à mettre en place pour favoriser la découvrabilité à travers le monde des œuvres francophones produites au Canada.

Capitalizing Indigenous Youth Entrepreneurs Across Canada

While there are both structural and systemic barriers to Indigenous entrepreneurship and youth entrepreneurship in Canada, which will take decades to change, we would like to research and develop a mechanism (fund, supports, etc) to increase the access to capital of Indigenous youth entrepreneurs in the short term so that entrepreneurship becomes a truly viable avenue for Indigenous youth. In short, this “mechanism” needs:
1. To complement, leverage, and/or improve, not compete with, existing capital providers.
2. To align with, or better yet leverage, existing networks of Indigenous youth entrepreneurship.
3. To be culturally appropriate, not harm the entrepreneur, nor bind them into colonial ways of
oppression that dominates the existing capital system.
4. To both fit into an existing capital and entrepreneurial ecosystem, while challenging the existing
structures and systems that make up that ecosystem.
5. To be legally and regulatorily within the abilities of a registered Canadian charity.
6. To have the potential to integrate business development supports and capacity building, if
needed.

Community dynamics in restored salt marshes

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems as they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in the Maritimes and continue to be altered for human development. Salt marsh restoration has become popular recently to mitigate the increasing societal costs associated with rising ocean levels, as well as to increase amount of suitable habitat for various waterfowl species. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) initiated a salt marsh restoration project in 2010 near Fort Beauséjour in Aulac, New Brunswick, with the goals of reverting farmland back to salt marsh habitat and assessing the effectiveness of restoration methods. The intern will monitor the change of the biological communities (both terrestrial and aquatic) and provide insights on best management strategies for salt marsh restoration. This information is useful to the environmental consulting, agricultural, transport, fishery and hunting industries, and to agencies interested in salt marsh restoration.

Characterization of the Effect of Camelid Wnt16B Antibody Treatment on Mammalian Cancer Cell Lines

The projects aims to develop a method to block the Wnt16B protein known to cause cancer growth and development by using target specific Camelid IgG antibodies in cancer cell culture that overexpresses Wnt16B. The Camelid antibodies programed to block the Wnt16B protein will be assessed for efficiency on how well they are able to block the effects that Wnt16B has on cancer cells. Cancer cell proliferation changes will be analyzed to assess the effects the target specific Camelid antibodies against WNT16B has on cancer cells. The partner organization, CamOleum Inc. has an international patent in using Camelid antibodies in cancer immunotherapy, in which will be expanded on by this project. CamOleum Inc. will benefit from this research as there is already a provisional patent put in place for this project that will be expanded upon attaining data from the lab.

High power laser system for biomaterials processing

The unique ability of surgical procedures with infrared lasers to prevent scarring can be applied to all kinds of tissues, not just the skin or outer layers, but also organs, other soft tissues, and bone reshaping for perfectly matching implants without tissue damage. However, the cutting speed due to the relatively low laser power is the main problem limiting full realization of these applications. Solving the cutting speed problem would enable the use of such lasers in all surgeries where scar tissue is undesirable and limits the effectiveness of recovery. The objective of the project is to develop a novel laser system with an order of magnitude higher power than present systems for high-speed biomedical processing to meet surgical needs for cutting speed – to full realize the potential of Pulsed InfraRed Laser (PIRL) technology for medical applications.

Estimating the Direct and Indirect Costs of ADHD in Canada

This project will provide an estimate of the direct and indirect costs of ADHD in Canada. The peer-reviewed report will be used by the partner organization to appeal to the different levels of government to publicly fund ADHD treatment in Canada. An existing model, developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, will be adjusted to the Canadian context. The model will use cost-benefit analysis principles to determine how much ADHD is costing the Canadian economy, and how much money can be saved if the target rate of 70% of ADHD patients receives treatment. The partner organization will benefit as they will use the findings of the research project in their field of work will be co-authors on a peer-reviewed research article.

Thin film based TCi

The thin film TCi project is focused on continuing the improvement of C-Therm’s commercial TCi Thermal Analyzer using thin film materials. This type of material is thinner than those currently used in the commercial product. Thin films have the advantage of being flexible, and having a quicker time response to heat differences due to their smaller mass. Thin films have so far proven to improve the sensor’s electrical response to thermal change, as well as its operating temperature range. A flexible sensor has been obtained by combining the thin films with a commercial flexible electrode substrate. The project proposed here has four objectives: 1) continue testing the thin film TCi prototype under different conditions, 2) improve the uniformity of heat distribution along the surface of the TCi by optimizing the geometry of the sensor components, 3) test the effect of an added thermally conductive dielectric thin film in the fabrication process, and 4) determine the best method of establishing high temperature contacts to the sensor leads. The design of the new thin film TCi will benefit C-Therm in putting out a superior TCi Thermal Analyzer

Barriers and Facilitators of Anthrax Vaccination for Animals Among Livestock Farmers

Anthrax is a disease of importance for the human and veterinary fields. It has the potential to be used as a bioweapon; however, this threat is relatively rare compared to the risk it poses for ruminants world-wide. Even though a vaccine is available for cattle it is under-utilized. This project will review the data and literature to attempt to understand the potential reasons for this lack of use.
