Bioremediation potential of a bacterial inoculant, Inocul-M consortium, on switchgrass(Panicum virgatum L.) plants grown in soils amended with biochar and spiked withpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (

Remediation and reclamation of contaminated lands could be achieved by incorporating biofuel agro-ecosystems that utilizes large biomass plant species with low-nitrogen requirements and have high bioremediation potential, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), in conjunction with biochar, a carbon–rich soil amendment, and inoculated with beneficial plant and soil microbes. Our partner industry, Inocucor, has developed the formulation Inocul-M; its components have been shown to enhance the degradation of toxic organic compounds, promote plant growth, and enable the reduction of chemical inputs. Utilizing germination and root length bioassays to assess phytotoxicity, growth chamber experiments targeted at examining early plant physiological responses to the pollutant, and outdoor pot experiments that simulate field experiments without the confounding factors associated with field studies, the McGill and Inocucor teams will work together to demonstrate the effects and value of the Inocucor technology and its possible interactions with biochar for the purposes of bioremediation.

Supporting in Carbon Capture Project Development

At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We offer practical, hands-on experience-based guidance, and technical advice for planning, design, construction, and operation of large-scale applications of CCS from thermal power to industrial processes. One of the biggest challenges for deploying CCS to large emitters is the capital and operational costs of the CCS facility and the balance of the plant that is required to support the CCS operation. With this Mitacs funding, the interns will assist in the Knowledge Centre to perform pre-feasibility, feasibility and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) studies of CCS project development in various sectors including industrial and power production. The interns will contribute their Knowledge in Process simulation (using Aspen Plus and Aspen Hysys) to improve process efficiency, perform cost estimation and find innovative, cost-effective means to improve and promote the deployment of CCS projects.

Printed Metamaterial Lenses – Faisibility Study

INO, is currently developing thin, flexible and large area printed optical sensors for multiple imaging applications spanning visible to terahertz wavelengths. These applications often require the need of specialty optics, this is where superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are thought to be advantageous. Superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are advanced technologies that can overcome the limitations of conventional lenses in terms of resolution and imaging capabilities. These technologies have potential applications in a wide range of fields including terahertz (THz) imaging, sensing, and communications.

Patient Treatment Preferences for Heart Failure Medications: A Discrete Choice Experiment

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a medical condition that affects approximately 400,000 Canadians. HFrEF lowers quality of life and life expectancy. While there are several effective medication options available, the choices surrounding exactly which medications to take are difficult for clinicians and patients given the complex trade-offs of benefits and downsides. This project will involve administering questionnaires to patients to better understand their preferences about medications for HFrEF. We will then use these findings to develop interactive tools to support clinicians and patients and their healthcare providers in shared decision-making. This will also benefit the partner organization, the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences, as it fits with their commitment to mentoring junior researchers and also increases their research capacity.

Validation d’indicateurs de la manifestation myoélectrique de la fatigue à l’aide de capteurs électromyographiques à haute densité

L’activité musculaire mesurée à la surface de la peau permet de rendre compte de la fatigue musculaire. Toutefois, il existe une multitude de variables pour la mettre en évidence. L’objectif de ce projet sera de déterminer quelles sont les variables les plus précises pour mettre en évidence la fatigue musculaire. Nous nous attendons à ce que les variables telles que la fréquence médiane, l’entropie et des mesures de fractales seront les plus performantes pour mesurer la fatigue musculaire.

Assessing the relationship of inflammatory biomarkers and depressive symptoms in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and depression are large contributors to the global years lost to disability (W.H.O, 2022). RA is mainly thought of as a disease limited to joints, where there is progressive joint destruction due to prolonged inflammation. However, RA is a systemic disease, it causes inflammation in various regions of the body. The systemic inflammation may contribute to or be associated with other commodities such as depressive symptoms. In fact, symptoms of depression are common in patients with RA, yet their relationship is poorly understood. A group of sixty patients will be assessed to understand the correlation between proinflammatory biomarkers, RA disease activity and depressive symptoms using data from blood samples and various questionnaires, respectively. It is hypothesized that an increase in proinflammatory biomarkers will be correlated with both increased depressive symptoms and worse RA disease activity. The findings of the project will inform novel interventions for the management of inflammation and commodities in patients with RA.

Do proper patient handling techniques, coupled with new technology, help reduce the risk of injury development amongst health care workers?

This project will provide a biomechanical comparison of commonly used patient handling techniques performed using a standard hospital bed outfitted with and without a Vendlet (vendlet.com) patient transfer device. This Vendlet technology has the potential to significantly reduce the musculoskeletal and joint strain to health care providers in both acute and long-term care facilities. The Vendlet is a powered patient turning aid, which replaces the bed-rail system of the hospital bed. Using a set of rollers that can be adjusted for height, the Vendlet mechanically moves the bed sheet beneath the patient in a controlled manner. The system can assist in turning the patient as well as reposition them in the bed. The technology is currently not available in Canada, but this validation research has the potential to promote its incorporation in Canadian health care facilities.
This research will provide the health care industry with a much-needed quantification of the physical demands associated with commonly used patient handling techniques.

Abrasive Waterjet Polishing of Large Hydraulic Turbine Blades

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, the polishing process of some parts of the turbines was performed manually which caused uneven finished surface and poor quality in some areas. With this method, through a uniform polishing strategy, the desired surface quality can be achieved. The polishing parameters affecting the quality of the final surface using this method have been initially investigated during the PhD research of the applicant. During post-doc, a comprehensive experimental study will be done on this process and using a more advance test-rig polishing of more complex surfaces similar to those of hydraulic turbines will be performed.

Defending Containerized Applications against 0day Vulnerabilities

Network operators and telecom vendors intend to ensure the security of mobile networks. However, the time between discovering a new security vulnerability in the network and developing and deploying its effective fixes can be delayed weeks and more often in months. Thus, it leaves a window to the attacker to cause more damage. Most of the time, deploying patches is coupled with software updates and when performed in production environment can present new risks resulting in costly downtime, thus generally delayed for business reasons. The main objective of this project is to develop a scalable and efficient solution that provides a mechanism to temporarily patch for a set of containerized applications against newly discovered vulnerabilities for which no security patches exist yet. This temporary patching approach can prevent the recurrence of exploit and allows time for official patches to be released and tested before final deployment.

Pathways to Revitalize Indigenous Shellfish Harvest

For thousands of years, Semiahmoo First Nation, like other Coast Salish communities have and continue to be deeply connected to the sea. Historically abundant fisheries including bivalve shellfish, such as clams, oysters and mussels, are respected as relations as well as depended on for food security; interactions with these creatures and ecosystems have formed the rhythms of daily and seasonal life. Since 1962, shellfish harvest has been prohibited in Boundary Bay, the waters surrounding Semiahmoo First Nation reserve lands, due to upland pollution. This prohibition has disconnected Semiahmah people from their traditional food sources and cultural practices for two generations. This project aims to explore potential pathways towards revitalizing Indigenous shellfish harvest in Boundary Bay to benefit Semiahmoo First Nation and the Salish Sea Indigenous Guardians. Innovative solutions will be drawn by taking a holistic systems-thinking approach and by pursuing Indigenous self-determination through participatory film and storytelling.

Implications of Comprehensive Sex Education on Female Genital Mutilation on Conakry

The objective of this research is to observe the implementation of a sexual health education program called “Fondation Binta Ann pour les Enfants et les Femmes” (FONBAL) and to subsequently document any change in attitudes of parents of children enrolled in FONBALE through parent-child interactions. As noted by the World Health Organization and The United Nations Children’s Fund, Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is still heavily practiced in West African Countries, regardless of its human rights violation. This epidemic is rooted in cultural, religious norms and only harms women and girls. This practice must end, however, there is limited research on how to substantially halt this violent medical procedure. Reviewing the practices at FONBALE, regarding their comprehensive sexual education (CSE) curriculum, by analyzing their approach through storytelling and child-to-parent interactions, this data will provide researchers with practical methodologies on how to stop FGM/C in countries, change the social perception, and provide countries that practice FGM/C with educational resources to change the social perception of FGM/C, amongst communities.
