Plasma activated mist: Characterization and application efficacy

As the demand for healthier and ‘clean label’ food products is ever increasing, there is a need to develop novel food processing methods to address the risks associated with food safety while ensuring sustainability. Cold plasma activated water (PAW) and plasma activated mist (PAM) are gaining attention for potential applications in food products as a ‘green disinfectant’. The intern will conduct research with a dielectric barrier PAM generation system where the process conditions will be optimized for maximum reactive species concentration. Further, the antimicrobial properties of PAM will be evaluated with common food pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Escherichia coli. The effect of the plasma activated mist treatment on the quality attributes of food materials will also be studied. The research findings generated by the intern will help the partner organization to scale-up and commercialize their plasma activated mist technology.

Methods for Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic Susceptibility Separation

Recent advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have enabled visualization of iron and myelin in the brain using a method that can measure the effects of MRI field changes. The physical property measured is called magnetic susceptibility, which can visualize iron accumulation in the brain and also myelin which is a wrapping around nerves. The partner organization has implemented software to detect this effect. However, this method cannot separate out the individual contributions of myelin and iron. In diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, iron and myelin changes can happen at the same time, thus separating them out is very important. The research project will involve an expert in magnetic susceptibility who will test methods for susceptibility separation and develop best techniques for performing this task, then implement them on the partner’s MRI systems. The benefit to the partner will be new and proven reconstruction techniques to further advance MRI.

Learning to organize and discover biomedical scientific literature

This project will investigate machine learning methods to organize and discover the vast literature on biomedical science. First, it will focus on named entity recognition–the task of finding and classifying entities in text documents–on large collections of abstracts and full-text of research papers and investigate semi-supervised learning methods to leverage large collections of unlabeled research papers. Second, it will focus on designing new ranking algorithms for research papers by exploiting information from several sources, including citation networks of papers, future impact predictions of new research papers and domain ontologies. The solutions to these problems will directly impact the performance of the methods that are currently in use by the company to solve the discovery problem of biomedical research papers.

Feasibility of Hybrid Ground-Source Heat Pumps for Sustainable Heating in Cold Climates

Using fossil fuels in building heating systems is greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive, leading to global warming. Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are cleaner electric alternatives to fossil fuel systems. They utilize and
transport heat from the ground to warm buildings. However, prolonged use of GSHPs can lead to a phenomenon known as thermal imbalance, which depletes the ground heat content and decreases soil temperature reducing
the performance of GSHPs. Additionally, GSHPs are expensive compared to traditional fossil fuel-based heating systems. To address these issues, this study explores the feasibility of a hybrid GSHP system, which combines a
GSHP with a natural gas furnace. The aim is to optimize the operation of the hybrid system to have minimal initial/operating cost, and emissions while maintaining high energy efficiency.

Entraînement d’un agent conversationnel pour les procédures internes

Koïos Intelligence est à la source de l’agent conversationnel Olivo qui vise à offrir une expérience
interactive, guidant l’utilisateur au travers des processus de prévente, de vente et d’après-vente pour
tous les types d’assurances. Bien que l’outil soit dans un état avancé tant au niveau de la conversation
écrite qu’orale, et ce aussi bien en français qu’en anglais, son amélioration se heurte aux exigences
computationnelles lourdes pour l’entraînement des modèles d’apprentissage automatique sous-jacent.
De plus, les outils de discussions interactifs sont souvent imprécis dans leur développement et mise en
oeuvre dans le cadre d’un champ d’application particulier. Dans le domaine de l’assurance, il y a peu de
solutions adaptées aux procédures internes. L’idée serait donc de perfectionner un robot interagissant
avec les employés et, selon leur position, les accompagner dans certaines tâches administratives
(formation d’un nouvel employé, accès à la documentation interne, etc.). Il est nécessaire pour les
rendre plus pertinents d’améliorer leur entraînement en utilisant des bases lexicales spécialisées, dont
dispose en interne Koïos Intelligence.

Identification et suivi de la performance des athlètes d’excellence du baseball québécois âgés de 15-18 ans

Une étude transversale et une étude longitudinale seront réalisées pour créer des profils de performance chez les meilleurs athlètes de baseball de la province. Ces profils basés sur des données anthropométriques, physiques et psycho-physiques permettront de distinguer les athlètes les plus talentueux et d’aider à leur sélection dans le programme d’excellence de l’Académie de Baseball du Canada. De plus, ces informations contribueront à améliorer les évaluations, les programmes d’entraînement et le développement des jeunes athlètes.
Le partenariat entre l’UQTR et l’Académie de Baseball du Canada (ABC) vise donc à améliorer l’encadrement des athlètes et à évaluer leur performance à court et à long terme. Une collecte approfondie de données et la création d’une base de données seront essentielles pour ce suivi des athlètes de haut niveau au Québec.

Kyiv at War: Frontier, Conflict, and Urban Text

The project (future monograph) will investigate representations of Kyiv in Ukrainian and Russian literatures and media of the past two decades in the broader context of the cultural history of the city and text of Kyiv in the modern epoch. I will examine how Ukrainian and Russian intellectuals, writers, and activists have conceptualized and claimed Kyiv’s history, legacy, and identity, focusing on the pivotal historical moments when these claims clashed. My work will highlight the competitive, confrontational nature of the text of Kyiv, a multicultural dynamic system of heterogeneous narratives, images, cliches that conditions the perception of a city by its own inhabitants and the outside world. In particular, I will analyze a body of popular novels set in Kyiv that reflect Ukrainian and Russian reactions to the transformations of the city and Ukraine in the twenty-first century: the development of Ukrainian democratic society through a series of mass civic movements, the modernization and commercialization of Kyiv, and the growth of Ukrainian national identity and culture as the country copes with its past colonial Soviet and Russian imperial legacies, and most recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and attack on Kyiv in February-March 2022.

Assessment of correlations between consumption of non-target prey items and lice cleaning efficiency of lumpfish of different sizes inside Canadian Atlantic salmon production sea cages using morphological and metabarcoding techniques.

Salmon aquaculture loses money when the salmon being farmed are infested by small parasites called “sea lice”. In Newfoundland Atlantic salmon aquaculture farms, the most common type of sea lice is the salmon louse. They can greatly reduce the number of salmon produced and cause health issues for the salmon. To manage the sea lice in cold waters, lumpfish are used because continue to eat sea lice down to 4?C. My primary goal is to see how lumpfish size affects how quickly they reduce the number of adult lice per salmon. I will also update the BOLD mtDNA database so that it includes all species that lumpfish commonly eat. I will collect lumpfish from salmon farms and use DNA barcoding and visual identification of their stomach contents to achieve my goals.

A Novel Design of High Temperature Ultrasonic Transducers, Manufacturing, and Testing

The project objective is to design and manufacture ultrasonic sensors capable of operating at temperatures up to 800 oC. Such transducers can be affixed to hot piping systems and pressure vessels in petrochemical plants, electrical power generating stations, and manufacturing plants. These sensors can then provide continuous information to the plant operator regarding the onset of cracks or corrosion in the pipe wall. In addition information related to fluids flowing in the pipe can also be gathered, such as flow rate, fluid temperature, turbulence. Our industrial partner Advanced Measurement and Analysis Group provides fluid-flow measurement instrumentation and consulting services to the electrical power generating industry and would like to extend its service into the petrochemical field. A key component holding such industrial expansion is the unavailability of
affordable, reliable ultrasonic sensors that can operate at the high temperatures needed for on-line instrumentation in these plants. This project directly assesses that critical area.
