Génétique quantitative de la croissance chez le mouflon d’Amérique

L’importance de mon projet de recherche vient du manque de connaissances sur l’ampleur et le rôle de l’hétérogénéité individuelle sur la démographie et la capacité d’adaptation des population animales. Avec l’aide du professeur Alastair Wilson à l’Université d’Exeter en Angleterre, je vais évaluer les causes et les conséquences de l’hétérogénéité individuelle dans les patrons de croissance saisonniers des mouflons d’Amérique. L’inclusion de paramètres environnementaux, d’histoire de vie et d’une matrice d’apparentement génétique permettra d’évaluer les causes de l’hétérogénéité dans la croissance saisonnière et la plasticité de ce trait. Ces analyses permettront aussi d’évaluer la covariance génétique et phénotypique entre le gain de masse saisonnier, la croissance future, la probabilité de reproduction et la probabilité de survie. Enfin, en étudiant l’hétérogénéité individuelle en croissance saisonnière de la source aux conséquences, ce projet évaluera la sensibilité de la croissance saisonnière à un décalage phénologique du verdissement printanier causé par les changements climatiques anthropiques.

Data Driven Intrusion Detection in Autonomous/Connected Vehicles

Securing autonomous vehicle environments has recently become a hot topic for both industry and academia due to the significant safety and monetary costs associated with security breaches of such environments. This requires different approaches to address the challenges and propose potential solutions at multiple levels of these environments. To that end, machine learning (ML) and blockchain (BC) techniques can play a vital role in ensuring that the safety and security standards are satisfied to protect vehicles from failures that may cause an accident and/or possible attacks. Therefore, this project focuses on exploring the security vulnerabilities associated with the communication technologies used (e.g. short-range and cellular communication technologies) as well as the potential surface attacks associated with the different entities of such environments (e.g. vehicle, controller node, edge node, and access controllers). Moreover, this project investigates the effectiveness and efficiency of ML and BC solutions in addressing and mitigating these vulnerabilities.

Biodiversity of herbivorous insects

Herbivorous insects constitute the majority of our planet’s terrestrial biodiversity, but the species that are best studied are those that are considered pests. This project surveys taxonomic and functional diversity of defoliator communities in both plantations and natural regeneration of white spruce, and relates it to foliar damage and consequences for tree growth. Climate disruption shows species moving their distribution ranges north, and this research will permit identification of novel pest herbivores on the most economically important boreal species, white spruce.

Identification de signatures mutationnelles liées aux stress réplicatif

Les cellules humaines vont toutes subir des dommages à l’ADN durant leur vie. Ces dommages peuvent être causé par des facteurs environnementaux ou biologiques, mais la majorité du temps ces lésions vont être réparées par une des multiples voies de réparation de l’ADN de la cellule. Quand le dommage n’est pas réparé ou s’il est mal réparé il peut y avoir apparition de mutation ou même la mort cellulaire. Les cancers ont souvent des defaults dans au moins une voie de réparation de l’ADN ce qui mène à une accumulation plus accrue de mutations. On appel ce phénomène l’instabilité génomique.
Avec la diminution du prix des technologie de séquençage de génome à haut débit, il est maintenant possible de séquencer un grand nombre de génomes de cancers humain. À partir de ces données, on peut extraire les mutations propres au tissu cancéreux (mutations somatiques). Ces mutations peuvent être utilisées pour établir une signature associée au principal processus impliqué dans l’apparition de ces mutations. Des signatures ont déjà été associées à quelques source (UV, tabagisme, déficience en recombinaison homologue).
Un facteur connu de l’instabilité génomique dans le cancer est le stress réplicatif.

Evaluation of the vibrational behaviour of a system of two spans coupled with a bretelle damper

Dynamic stresses in transmission lines mainly originates from the winds. To control these vibrations and stresses, damper devices are commonly used. In some countries, including France, bretelle dampers are used. Bretelle damper is a low tensioned pieces of conductors that is attached to the overhead conductor spans near the span-ends by means of clamps. Bretelle damper reduces the vibration amplitude due to the energy imparted by the wind using two main mechanisms: First, by its self-damping (frictional forces between the wires of the strand) and second, by transferring part of the energy to the adjacent spans before reaching critical points such as end-span clamps. This type of damper is low-priced, easy to manufacture and can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude in overhead conductors. Very few studies have been conducted on the vibration behavior of single conductors with bretelle dampers and they are mainly experimental researches. Experimental tests are time-consuming and costly. Thus, it is beneficial to develop a finite element model of the system and study the effect of different parameters in the vibrational behavior of the system and evaluate the performance of damper. This FE model will be validated by a simpler analytical model of the system.

Investigating Open Scholarship and InclusivePractices in Higher Education

This project investigates the development of an online service that empowers individuals at higher education institutions to develop and deploy surveys that reveal how faculty, staff, and students at their institutions perceive open scholarship and inclusive practices. We believe that individuals at higher education institutions will be better able to understand and advocate for open and inclusive practices if they have an empirically based understanding of the beliefs, attitudes, and intentions around these issues held by students, faculty, and staff at their home institutions. Thus, our easily used online service will enable access to previously developed surveys, step by step procedures for building new surveys, expert advice, and peer support, thus providing guidance on how to easily adapt and deploy surveys provided by the service. The goal is to make this as easy as possible for non-experts at HE institutions.

Caractérisation de la liaison membranaire de la rhodopsine kinase

La rétine, qui tapisse le fond du globe oculaire, est composée de plusieurs types de cellules dont les bâtonnets qui ont une structure particulière. Le segment externe des bâtonnets est composé d’un empilement de disques membranaires où est localisé le pigment visuel appelé rhodopsine. La rhodopsine change de conformation sous l’effet de la lumière, ce qui l’active et permet la vision. La rhodopsine doit être inactivée pour resensibiliser le bâtonnet et permettre à nouveau l’absorption de la lumière. La rhodopsine kinase (RK) est impliquée dans l’inactivation de la forme active de la rhodopsine. La RK native est acylée, ce qui lui permettrait d’interagir avec la membrane des bâtonnets. Il a été démontré par d’autres équipes que l’absence de l’acylation de la RK réduit la vitesse d’inactivation de la rhodopsine. L’hypothèse de mes travaux de recherche est donc que l’acylation de la RK est essentielle à son ancrage membranaire. L’objectif principal de mes travaux consiste à caractériser la liaison membranaire de la RK acylée et non-acylée pour comparer leurs propriétés.

Connecting ecological dots: striped bass diets, DNA barcoding, stable isotopes and contaminants – Part 2 (of IT15410)

Striped bass, Morone saxatilis, is a popular anadromous fish caught along the Eastern Coast of North American. Striped bass invaded Labrador, NL in August 2017 and, during Part 1 of this study, were identified to feed on Atlantic salmon, cod, char and capelin; important fishes to NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC). The traditional method to identify stomach contents consists of examining stomach contents and morphologically identifying the species consumed. Unfortunately, due to digestion, the quality of stomach contents is highly variable making identification of species-specific components difficult. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to screen for prey items and to quantify their relative amounts. Stable isotope analysis (SIA) provides a longer period (weeks to months) of diets based on trophic-level. We will employ SIA to obtain a longer-term picture of striped bass diets that reflect where striped bass may affect the food web in the region and potentially identify the unknown diet proportion and reveal candidate fish or invertebrate species to do further gastric DNA targeted testing. Contaminants can affect fish health and have obvious implications for human health. In Part 2, we will increase contaminants analysis to provide a better picture of fish health in Labrador.
