Augmentation de la productivité d’un procédé de recyclage secondaire de polyéthylène

Actuellement, il y a un besoin alarmant de trouver des débouchés aux plastiques utilisés pour répondre à la problématique de la gestion des matières résiduelles qui représente un défi mondial. Ce projet est une solution porteuse pour le secteur du recyclage. Il offre l’opportunité de recycler et valoriser de plus grandes quantités de polyéthylène (PE) en des produits à plus fortes valeurs ajoutées. Des additifs à base de matière recyclée ou biosourcée seront développés afin d’améliorer la fluidité des mélanges de PE et augmenter la productivité chez notre partenaire. La performance de ces additifs sera évaluée et comparée avec des additifs commerciaux issus du pétrole.

Hybrid quantum-classical multiple kernel methods for machine learning

Quantum computers are well-suited to a subset of machine learning tasks known as supervised learning
(SL). In SL, a model is trained on labelled data to generate correct labels for novel data thereafter. Robust
classifiers can be achieved in SL by using the “kernel trick”, which provides a more expressive metric from a
transformed point of view. Strong theoretical and experimental results suggest an advantage in outsourcing
the kernel computation to a quantum processor; in an approach compatible with modular quantum devices.
The goal of this project is to determine which combinations of quantum and classical kernels are suited to
which types of data, and how the combined approach can improve upon single quantum kernels. Because
the near future likely entails noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers, the hybrid approach is among the
most viable for near-term quantum machine learning. Therefore, advances in this method will directly benefit
the partner organization, whose stated purpose is to develop software for the quantum era.

Développement d’un système de capture, visualisation et traitement de données pour le bien-être animal

Le Centre vétérinaire DMV a été fondé en 1993, par un groupe de vétérinaires avant-gardistes. Leur objectif est d’offrir une gamme étendue de services d’urgence et de soins spécialisés, dans un centre hospitalier permanent. Au fil des ans, le Centre vétérinaire DMV n’a cessé d’investir dans de l’équipement de pointe afin de permettre à ses spécialistes d’atteindre des taux de succès impressionnants. Avec comme mission le bien-être animal, DMV entreprend aujourd’hui un virage technologique en sciences des données. Spécifiquement, le défi majeur de DMV est de pouvoir développer un système de capture, visualisation et traitement de données pour le bien-être animal. Objectif général du projet : Développer un système de capture, visualisation et traitement de données pour le bien-être animal.

Operationalizing Key Quality Indicators of Glaucoma and Cataract Care in Alberta

Glaucoma and cataracts are separate, but serious conditions of the eyes. If not properly managed, both can lead to significant vision loss. Currently, there is limited quality monitoring of vision care across the Alberta. The standardized use of performance measures that evaluate the glaucoma and cataract care is paramount to improving the quality of vision care across the province. The purpose of this study is to explore how to provincially integrate a key set of performance measures of glaucoma and cataract quality of care. This project will co-design implementation strategies based on the preferences and priorities of vision care providers and individuals living with glaucoma and cataracts to support the consistent monitoring of vision quality of care. By developing feasible and sustainable provincial quality monitoring strategies, we will support Alberta Health Services to effectively monitor and enhance vision care practices to improve patient outcomes and efficiency of healthcare delivery.

Prototyping Tiny Homes for Affordable Housing in Cambridge

In response to the current housing crisis, we are studying the effectiveness of tiny homes as a solution to transitional housing for housing insecure persons in the Region of Waterloo. We have completed an earlier phase of this research which produced a Tiny House prototype and propose to continue this research through the following two streams:
A. Developing governance, financing and procurement strategies for a tiny home community in Cambridge through consultation with local partners.
B. Collecting feedback on the built prototype from potential inhabitants, refining the building design and developing site location and planning strategies.

Revealing the hidden intracluster medium in a distant protocluster of galaxies

Recent telescope observations have discovered clusters of galaxies when the universe was only 10% of its current age. They formed stars vigorously at rates of up to 10,000 solar masses per year, quite the opposite of nearby galaxy clusters that are predominantly quiescent. The cause for their extreme starburst nature of the most distant protoclusters is not understood. In this project, we propose to identify an explanation for their extreme star formation by conducting an unbiased search for its star formation fuel. Specifically, the intern will calibrate and analyze the ALMA observations of one such distant protocluster, which is designed to reveal the intracluster medium that previous observations were insensitive to. If the protocluster is found to harbour a copious amount of gas in between galaxies in the intracluster medium, it will widely impact the research area of structure formation in the universe.

Exploring Solutions for Sustainable Rural Drinking Water Systems

Our four interns and six internships will be invaluable components in the research being conducted. These interns will be collecting primary data for the project and will be working directly with industry partners to test and develop feasible solutions to community drinking water problems. Our parter organizations will directly benefit from our internships, as our interns will be providing our partners wth outside marketing with their case study reports. Furthermore, we plan to test certain asset management and GIS mapping technologies with municipalities, which will provide feedback and analysis on our partner’s products. As Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador as well as Professional Municipal Administrators are both research partners on this project, industry partners will have direct contact with their target market. Overall, our internships will also positively increase our industry partner’s public image and will help our partners meet their commitments towards corporate responsibility.

Étude de préfaisabilité sur l’intégration circulaire de la production de microalgues et d’insectes décomposeurs dans une plateforme de biométhanisation

Le projet proposé se porte sur l’étude de l’utilisation de digestats de biométhanisation comme substrats pour la cultivation de microalgues et d’élevage d’insectes de mouches soldats noirs. Les microalgues et les insectes sont les organismes capables hautement d’utiliser les matières résiduelles en produisant leurs biomasses. Dans cette étude, le digestat solide de biométhanisation sera utilisé pour l’élevage d’insectes de MSN, tandis que la fraction liquide sera utilisée pour la cultivation de microalgues. Les biomasses microalgale produites seront ensuite combinées avec le digestat solide pour l’alimentation d’insectes. La biomasse d’insectes qui contient une teneur élevée en protéines et lipides sera destinée à l’alimentation animale. L’étude sur l’intégration des procédés de cultivation de microalgues et d’élevage d’insectes autour d’un biométhanisateur permettrait d’apporter des rentabilités économiques qui s’appuient sur la gestion des digestats et les sources de nutriments bon marché pour les microalgues et les insectes.

Caractérisation d’un modèle d’intervention par stimulation corticale motrice chez le rongeur

Notre projet de recherche vise au développement d’un nouveau système neuroprosthétique.
Cette étude nous permettra à raffiner les paramètres d’une lésion médullaire cervical à fin d’investiguer la récupération de la motricité fine à l’aide d’une neuroprothèse intra-corticale. Nous avons démontré l’efficacité de cet outil de neuromodulation dans la restauration de la marche du membre postérieur. Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous investiguerons l’efficacité de la neuroprothèse dans la récupération du membre antérieur. Le projet combine les domaines du génie, neurosciences et la recherche translationnelle.
