Flame synthesis of nanomaterials: The agglomeration of nanoparticles interacting via short-/long-range potentials

The agglomeration of nanoparticles under flame conditions is numerically simulated. The focus is placed on the interaction forces between particles. These forces are suspected to play an important role on the agglomeration rate, agglomerate’s geometry, and particle size distribution. This is particularly important in the context of aggregates (chemically bound nanoparticles) or agglomerates (physically bound nanoparticles) production at an industrial level (for example black carbon, silica, titania nanoparticles). In this context, new models may be introduced to take the complex geometry of particles into account. New insights on the aggregate formation could be used to produce particles with specific characteristics, such as geometry or porosity, of industrial interest. This could lead to new particle’s technology applications such as coatings, fillers, reinforcers, etc. Also, it can help to reduce harmful emissions and reduce air pollution.

Comparison of biological effects of Ceylon cinnamon water Extract and metformin

The use of cinnamon as a flavoring agent and a remedy for metabolic, respiratory, and gynecological disorders is widespread throughout the world. Studies suggest that Ceylon cinnamon may be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This project will use a high-throughput method to analyze how a concentrated water extract of Ceylon cinnamon changes gene expression in human cells. The analyzed data will be compared to existing results from cells treated with the most common medication used for type 2 diabetes, metformin. The goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of Ceylon cinnamon water extract compared to metformin. Kurundu will use data from this project to develop Ceylon cinnamon water extract as a potential natural product for the management of type 2 diabetes.

Le Bien-être financier : développement d’un indice de sérénité financière pour une meilleure gestion des finances personnelles en ligne.

Kaira technologie cherche à opérationnaliser son outil, le « coach financier personnel », afin d’aider les individus à atteindre le bien-être financier. Pour y arriver, Kaira doit préalablement définir un indicateur de mesure du bien-être financier. La recherche de cet indicateur est l’objectif poursuivi dans ce projet. Ainsi, une revue complète du concept de bien-être financier permettra de définir ses dimensions et, par la suite, de conceptualiser un indicateur capable de mesurer en temps réel le bien-être financier de l’utilisateur de ladite application. Ensuite, des tests statistiques ainsi que des consultations auprès d’experts du domaine seront utilisés pour valider l’indicateur retenu.

Recherche sur l’adaptation des jeunes et des familles en lien avec la pandémie de la Covid-19 : Une étude longitudinale

La Covid-19 a été déclarée pandémie par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé le 11 mars 2020, résultant d’abord en un confinement général de la province du Québec de mars à mai 2020, et depuis à des mesures sanitaires restrictives dans le but de diminuer la propagation du virus. Ce projet de recherche porte sur l’adaptation des jeunes et des familles dans le contexte de la pandémie de la Covid-19. Il s’agit de poursuivre une recherche qui a débutée à l’été 2020 auprès de parents d’enfants âgés entre 6 et 17 ans et auprès d’adolescents âgés de 14 à 17. Les résultats issus de ce projet de recherche permettront de mieux comprendre les facteurs personnels et familiaux liés à l’adaptation des jeunes et des familles lorsque confrontés à une situation susceptible d’amener une grande charge de stress sur la famille et les individus. Ces résultats pourront mener au développement d’outils afin de favoriser une meilleure adaptation des jeunes et des familles.

Part A. Mapping Economic, social, and health ecosystem and agencies in
Greater Saint John Project
Outcomes:
1. Understand the interdependencies amongst the actors and the customers they serve creating awareness and transparency in the components of the larger system
2. Move from a linear approach to a systems perspective to assist in understanding
who is addressing what problem, seeking alignment addressing the needs
3.Create a platform for dialogue and actions providing potential cost savings, enhanced employee and stakeholder engagement, alignment of actors and a mindset and behaviour that we are strong together.
Like most communities Saint John has a significant number of organizations , businesses, agencies, volunteers and levels of government all coping with covid 19 in the now,
near and the far. While all well intended the citizens, employees, businesses- large and small, the government employees, the volunteers, the out of work, do not have a clear understanding of where to go for help . For example in the economic pillar there are numerous govt agencies that are all working hard in a reactive mode resulting in frustration, confusion, increased cost and duplication.

Development of a subject-centered social media and network platform

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ opinion. There is a prototype system already developed as a proof of idea. The intern will enhance the prototype by adding new functions and modules to it. In the first phase of this project, there are two specific tasks assigned for the intern; (1) Item/Subject Time Wall Display (an alternative display for the item page), (2) Automation of identification of parents vs Child subjects OR Time line display for subjects and its associated events. Each task should take about two months to complete.
