Élaboration d’une méthode de développement de tableaux de bord de gestion soutenant la conscience de la situation

Le tableau de bord de gestion (TBG) est un outil visuel de plus en plus courant auprès des gestionnaires pour réaliser le suivi de la performance organisationnelle. Il consiste à afficher de l’information portant sur l’état de l’organisation afin de soutenir le gestionnaire dans ses décisions. Ainsi, le TBG doit permettre au gestionnaire d’obtenir une représentation mentale véridique et complète de la situation. Le cadre théorique de conscience de la situation (CS) caractérise cette représentation mentale en trois niveaux : perception, compréhension et projection. Une analyse de cinq méthodes de développement de TBG a permis de constater qu’aucune n’aborde la CS. À partir d’une approche de recherche en science de la conception, ce projet a pour objectif d’élaborer une méthode de développement de TBG soutenant la CS du gestionnaire.

Minimizing crop stress with micronutrients: Agronomics

When plants are stressed they produce “reactive oxygen species” (ROS). Plants manage ROS with specific enzymes, many of which require micronutrients for activity. In the case of herbicide tolerant crops, the application of herbicide kills weeds in the crop but also stresses the crop for a time. The proposed work will test the hypothesis that crop plants will be better able to deal with stress resulting from herbicide application, when they are given additional micronutrients, in the form of Axter products spray-applied to crop leaves. The crops used in this work will be soybean and corn. The herbicide evaluated will be glyphosate. We will investigate the interaction between herbicide stress and micronutrients under field conditions. The results of this work will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the efficacy of Axter products, leading to improved application of Axter products and development of improved formulations or products.

Conception et réalisation d’un système d’imagerie des tissus biologiques marqués avec des nanosondes Raman

Une nouvelle nanotechnologie développée par l’équipe du Professeur Richard Martel à l’Université de Montréal combinée à la technologie d’imagerie Raman de Photon etc. permet de développer une nouvelle voie de lutte contre le cancer. L’immunothérapie vise une rééducation du système immunitaire lui permettant de combattre les cellules tumorales, mais doit être personnalisée selon le système immunitaire de l’individu, le type précis de cancer et l’environnement tumoral. L’analyse simultanée de 12 à 15 biomarqueurs est requise pour en obtenir une compréhension adéquate, ce qu’aucun système actuel d’analyse ne permet. Lors de ce projet, le stagiaire aura pour but de développer un système d’imagerie Raman permettant de visualiser et d’analyser jusqu’à 20 biomarqueurs simultanément. À court et moyen termes, ce projet s’inscrit dans la stratégie de développement de Photon etc. auquel le stagiaire pourrait se greffer à la fin de son stage.

Chiffrement basé sur les attributs (ABE) des données privées dans les applications mobiles des villes intelligentes

L’entreprise Métix a lancé début 2016 le produit B-CITI dont la mission est de simplifier la relation numérique entre les citoyens et leur ville, en leur mettant à disposition un ensemble de services transactionnels, informationnels et interactifs leur permettant d’accéder aux services de la ville en tout temps. En tant que mandataire des villes, B-CITI se doit de respecter les plus haut standards en matière de sécurité et de traçabilité informatique, ainsi qu’un ensemble de processus et bonnes pratiques, le tout dans un contexte nouveau non traditionnel. Ce projet s’inscrit donc dans ce contexte et vise à renforcer la protection des données privées manipulées par les applications mobiles de B-CITI. Ceci engendre l’intégration d’un modèle de chiffrement non conventionnel (ABE) qui a fait ses preuves dans la communauté scientifique oeuvrant dans le domaine de la cryptographie.

Cocktail party in a box: Spatializing multiple talkers over a headphone based intercom system to improve speech comprehension

During live event shows, event operators rely on industry-grade intercom systems to communicate with each other and coordinate the progress of the event. Depending on the size of the event, they may need to monitor up to dozens of audio feeds and react on the commands when necessary. We hypothesize that enabling users to spatially separate the sound sources helps them better follow the commands. Our objective is to perform user experiments under simulated work environment using 3D audio instead of standard audio. We expect the 3D audio technique to improve the user performance, as well as improves the usability and pleasantness of overall user experience.

Soil Gas Field and Analytical Research at Tundra Sinclair Field

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can deliver needed substantial emission reductions as we transition to alternative fuels. However, it is important to verify that CO2 being injected into the subsurface is well contained within the geologic container. This student will construct soil gas wells, as well as conduct surface monitoring research to define normal fluctuations of soil gases in soil, and compare to situations of expected leakage. This research will contribute to improved surface monitoring practice and better public acceptance of CCS, and will contribute toward the larger Tundra Sinclair CO2 Project initiative.

Development of multiple algorithmic solutions to aid in making platform for delivering unique and reliable insights on Employee Engagement for organizations

Pintellect is Enterprise Social Software that gives employees access to the thoughts and ideas of the organization’s influencers by encouraging them to share links to the internal files or external resources such as books, TED talks, podcasts, articles, etc. The objective for this project is to develop multiple algorithmic solutions for curated feed of content by department on the dashboard based on number of identified criteria. Specifically, the goal would be to design four different algorithms based on descriptive statistical analysis: (1) Identification of periodically top influencers in a given organization, (2) Periodic curated feeds of content by department, (3) Upvote weightage algorithm for different members of the organization who provide upvotes on the shared content, and (4) Logic for employee engagement statistics. After that, Curated e-mail summary would be designed periodically to send across in an organization.

Impact of dietary fibre and immune challenge on threonine requirements and pig robustness

Sub-clinical disease results in reduced growth and less efficient use of nutrients, resulting in substantial impact on profitability of pork producers. With the elimination of in-feed antibiotics for growth promotion it is increasingly important to understand the interaction between nutrition and health and nutrient requirements during disease challenge events. Feeding high-fibre feedstuffs reduces the efficiency of utilization of dietary threonine for growth in pigs due to an increase in endogenous threonine loss as a result of increased mucin production. The mucus layer serves to protect the intestinal mucosal surface against threats, such as enteric pathogens. In addition to mucin production, threonine is an important precursor for the synthesis of many acute phase proteins involved in the immune response. While an increased threonine requirement has been shown with increased fibre and with immune challenge, the interaction of these factors on threonine requirements is unknown. TO BE CONT’D

Super Varnishes for Aerospace Coatings

Organic coatings are used to protect surfaces in many prominent industries such as automotive and aerospace. The industrial partner has found it imperative to develop their varnish for aircraft interiors in-house. They have identified a “super varnish” that must have exceptional resistance to cracking, prevention of shrinkage and adhesion to wood substrates (grouped herein as material properties). Secondary “must-have” properties are non-flammability, self-healing characteristics and greener processes. Flammability resistance is critical in airplane parts; thus lowering of flammability via reduction of volatile organic content (VOC) or the use of additives is key. Reduction of VOC lends itself to greener processes (eg. water-borne coatings) such as suspension or emulsion polymerization. Also, low viscosity coating solutions that are afforded by our chemistry allows less solvent to be used, thereby reducing VOC. This proposal aims to use copolymers incorporating various functionalities to improve adhesion via controlled radical polymerization as the coating resin.

Optimisation de la régie de fertilisation du camerisier

Le camerisier, ou chèvrefeuille comestible (Lonicera caerulea), fait partie des cultures fruitières en émergence au Québec. Toutefois, bien que le camerisier soit cultivé au Québec depuis près d’une décennie, très peu d’information agronomique sur cette culture a été scientifiquement publiée jusqu’à maintenant. Dans l’optique de préciser la régie de la fertilisation pour la camerise, les objectifs généraux sont de 1) déterminer les apports en engrais optimaux pour maximiser les rendements et 2) comparer les effets d’un engrais minéral et d’un engrais organique sur le rendement en fruits. Les résultats de ce projet de recherche seront exclusifs et uniques puisque ceux-ci permettront d’identifier, pour une première fois de façon robuste (>3 ans de recherche), les besoins en éléments nutritifs du camerisier. Ce projet permettra d’établir des pratiques agricoles rentables favorisant, par le fait même, le renforcement d’une industrie axée sur le savoir et l’innovation.

Acoustic detection of fish presence and depth distribution at the FORCE tidal energy test site in the Bay of Fundy: assessing risk of interaction with tidal turbines

Tidal energy turbines are a new renewable energy technology that will be demonstrated at the FORCE test site in the Bay of Fundy. The potential negative effects of these turbines on fish are of high concern to industry, regulators, fishers, and other stakeholders. This research will use sonars attached to sensor platforms deployed on the sea floor at the FORCE tidal energy test site to evaluate the risk that tidal turbines pose to fish. Risk will be based on where fish are naturally located and where the turbines will be operating. We will also assess two different sonar types for monitoring effects on fish. The information produced by this work will directly inform the developers and regulators of this new industry and aid in developing monitoring guidelines for fish at tidal energy sites in Canada and abroad.

Assessment and Design Advancement of a Conjugate Anvil Hammer Mill

Since energy is the major concern in current and future mining operations, energy efficient technologies are a major focus for research and development. The CAHM machine was developed based on principals of energy efficient particle breakage by compression. The machine design was based on computer simulation and modeling results indicate the potential to reduce comminution energy requirements by 50% as compared to present technologies. CAHM simulations show that the technology can achieve high reduction ratios, consuming less specific power, which translates into energy efficient operation. However, to validate modeling results, experimental program that mimics CAHM particle breakage is needed. Outcomes of the planned research will lead to the development of a physical prototype of the CAHM as part of the future research
