Caractérisation expérimentale et simulation numérique ducomportement mécanique de matelas de réception utilisés lors deperformances acrobatiques .

Le Cirque du Soleil dispose d’une expertise pratique importante pour la conception de matelas de réception. Toutefois, due à l’absence de données approfondies, cette expertise repose sur peu d’évidence scientifique, rendant difficile la conception optimale de matelas de réception pour de nouvelles performances acrobatiques. Le stage proposé vise à compléter et exploiter les outils expérimentaux et de simulation numérique développés dans le cadre du premier stage MITACS. Les résultats anticipés permettront d’évaluer expérimentalement les matelas actuels, de valider les modèles numériques, de développer des outils d’évaluation mieux adaptés à la réalité du Cirque et d’évaluer les possibles corrélation entre les paramètres de conception des matelas et les contraintes biomécaniques subies par l’artiste lors d’un atterrissage sur le dos ou sur les pieds. Ces résultats seront exposés aux concepteurs d’équipements et de performances acrobatiques du Cirque dans le cadre d’un séminaire de formation ainsi qu’aux membres de la haute direction.

L’entrepreneuriat comme le sport de haut niveau?? Mieux comprendre l’état de santé mentale des entrepreneurs pour une intervention ciblée

Le présent projet de recherche vise à dresser un portrait de l’état de santé mentale des entrepreneurs québécois, afin de proposer des interventions adaptées à leur réalité. S’inspirant des similitudes entre les entrepreneurs et les athlètes, cette recherche-action vise s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques dans le sport de haut niveau, afin de constater si certaines techniques utilisées par les athlètes pourraient avoir des retombés positives dans le milieu entrepreneurial et par le fait même accompagner les entrepreneurs dans le déploiement d’une meilleure santé mentale au travail. Étant l’un des premiers projets en ce genre, les résultats et apprentissages de ce projet de recherche innovateur permettront d’ouvrir la voie à d’autre projet en ce genre. Il se veut être un pionnier vers un avenir qui permettra aux entrepreneurs d’avoir les habilitées nécessaires pour favoriser l’expression d’une meilleure santé mentale au travail.

On-Chip True Time Delay Optical Beamforming for RF Phased Arrays

Our space-based radio-frequency communication is suffering from the use of simple phase shifters. Its bandwidth capability is limited, ultimately reducing the satellite’s capacity and the system’s service availability. Most electronic beamforming implementations are bulky, frequency dependent and they consume a significant amount of power. To replace those electronic components, structures which guide light on microchips have been suggested and demonstrated to work similarly to how light inside of fiber-optic cables now all brings TV and internet to our homes. This project will thus evaluate the feasibility of using those small optical structure to implement an innovative beamforming network architecture. The integration and assembly of those optical structure can lead to smaller beamformer dimensions, larger communication capacity and a lower cost. By doing so we aim to revolutionize space-based communications and bring it into a brighter future.

Assessment of Diclofenac and its impact on some selected aquatic fauna of India (Western Himalayan Region) and Canada

The proposed project aims to assess the impact of Diclofenac on freshwater fauna. Current research work in this area will be beneficial to characterize potential risks from long term low-level exposure to pharmaceuticals like Diclofenac, particularly for sensitive aquatic organisms and hence, this project will attempt to evolve various measures for sustaining and safeguarding the vulnerable freshwater ecosystem. The proposed research fits into number of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals including zero hunger, responsible consumption and production, climate action and life of land. Also, the current project will enable me to learn learn techniques which are thus complimentary to that of my PhD. The current project supports India-Canada research collaborations and brings innovative and talented students into a growing network of international research interest and excellence.

Multi-spectral Forestry Mapping for First Nations using RPAS

This project aims to explore the application of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS, aka drones) to assess forest health, explore early identification of disease and infestation and provide quantitative post-harvest analysis. The use of drones for this type of assessment has the potential to improve the overall picture of forest health, aid in decision-making regarding preferential harvesting of trees, and measurably increase profits by identifying marketable timber products post-harvest.

Design Energy Harvesting Circuit and its System-on-Chip Implementation

We have seen the acceleration of global warming in recent years. Green-energy powered electronic devices are more desirable. In this proposal, we propose to develop an energy harvesting circuit and implement it on a system-on-chip. The design goals are low-cost, user-friendly, and portable. By partnering with Hidaca Ltd., our ultimate goal is to have this made-in-Canada technology available on the market as soon as possible to benefit Canadians and the global population.

Scaled Physical Modeling of Geomechanical Implications of Wormholes During CO2-Based CSI in CHOPS Reservoirs Part A: Centrifuge Testing of 3D Printed Specimens

Deliberate massive sand influx used to increase oil recovery from shallow heavy oil resources ultimately results in low oil recovery. This means 85-95% of oil would remain unrecovered during the co-production of oil and sand process, which is referred to as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). In this project, we looked at the possibility to enhance oil recovery using CO2 injection. By employing a geotechnical centrifuge and additive manufacturing (3D printing rock) technology, this research provides a better understanding of the dominant driving forces during cyclic injection of CO2 for sustainable, responsible, and transformative heavy oil production from these CHOPS reservoirs.

Drivers and early warning signs of biodiversity change in urban ecosystems

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data from the Greater Toronto Area, we will first identify candidate woodland characteristics that are sensitive to urbanization, then test their ability to predict woodland succession and biodiversity for a long-term monitoring dataset in the same area. The partner organization will benefit from this work by being able to include expected ecosystem trajectory into their site characterization and conservation prioritization process, helping achieve future ecosystem services and biodiversity targets and improve urban sustainability.

Digital Audio Multi-Effects Platform for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers

Modular synthesizers are becoming more commonplace in the studios of musicians around the globe. These instruments, first invented in the 1960s, are composed of modules, each of which performs a unique function, such as generating sounds or modifying them by applying effects such as distortion, echo and more. When building a modular synthesizer, the user is faced with a number of choices – which kind of modules do I need?
In lieu of buying dozens of modules to find the correct one for their style, they can instead opt for another solution.
Modern digital technology has given rise to a type of module that can perform many different functions depending on the context. These modules are programmable and can store dozens of different algorithms. This provides the user with a sample-platter of the various offerings in the field of modular synthesizers. The main drawback to these types of modules is that they lose dedicated hardware controls for sound processing and synthesis algorithm variables (one of the main advantages of modular synthesizers).

Managing Shared State for Video Games in a Networked Multi-core Environmen

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same phYSical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also many challenges for the game industry. The goal of this project is to create efficient techniques to organize and schedule the computations to take advantage of all the processors available. These techniques must ensure that the results produced correctly and are obtained quickly enough to satisfy responsiveness. Each of these techniques will have a corresponding aspect that allows them to be used by programmers who are not experts in utilizing multiple processors. While this project focuses on games, the benefits will be applicable to many domains, especially in the emerging field of mobile consumer-oriented applications.
