Propagating Instrumental Systematics to Cosmological Analysis Pipeline for HIRAX

This research sheds light on the mysterious force of dark energy, driving the universe’s accelerated expansion, and reveals how cosmic structures evolve. Since hydrogen makes up most of the universe, its natural radiation at radio wavelengths allows us to map large volumes of space and track the distribution of matter. The Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX) is a radio telescope array positioned to detect faint hydrogen signals and study the universe’s expansion across different cosmic periods. Through the Mitacs Globalink Research project, I aim to assess the recovery of the desired hydrogen signal and understanding how the instrumental imperfections impact HIRAX’s capacity to make accurate observations. By measuring tiny surface deformations in telescope dishes through precise metrology techniques, followed by simulations to assess how these deformations affect the telescope’s observational accuracy, I aim to mitigate these potential sources of error, thus preserving the quality of HIRAX’s scientific data. Through this project, both the participating institutions will work closely to develop/improve data analysis pipelines and assess the impact of dish surface deformations on cosmological observations. This collaboration will provide a platform for knowledge exchange between the participating institutions, fostering further research opportunities in cosmology and radio instrumentation beyond HIRAX.

Evaluation of the Corrosion Tendency of a Novel of 2-amino 2-methyl propanol (AMP) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine (1-(2-HE) PRLD) Blend used for CO2 Capture from Industrial Exhaust Gases in a Commercial CO2 Capture Plant

This projects aims to evaluate the corrosion rate of carbon steel in a 2:2 molar ratio (4M total molar concentration) of AMP: 1-(2-HE) PRLD environment as a function of absorber/desorber temperature, O2 concentration in the flue gas, and CO2 loading. This evaluation is to ensure that this novel amine blend can be used reliably with chemical stability for CO2 capture from industrial exhaust gases in a commercial CO2 capture plant.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the following specific sub objectives have been carved out.
1. To determine the effect of temperature on the corrosion rate of carbon steel with 2:2 AMP-PRLD
2. To determine the effect of O2 concentration in flue gas on the corrosion rate of carbon steel with 2:2 AMP-PRLD.
3. To determine the effect of CO2 loading in the amine solution on the corrosion rate of carbon steel with 2:2 AMP-PRLD.
4. To model the effect of temperature, O2 concentration in flue gas, and CO2 loading on the corrosion rate of carbon steel with 2:2 AMP-PRLD.
This research will address a critical challenge that can significantly impact the long-term viability of CO2 capture plants. Ultimately, this project will contribute to Canada’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions and promoting a sustainable energy future.

Détermination des sites de fixation des éléments traces métalliques dans les sédiments de lac

L’approche conventionnelle de l’interprétation des résultats de géochimie d’exploration implique généralement des méthodes statistiques variablement sophistiquées. La faible capacité prédictive de la méthode est notoire. De plus, la littérature demeure sans réponse quant aux sites de fixation préférentiels des métaux dans les sédiments de lac. Dans le but d’éventuellement relier la source aux enrichissements secondaires, IOS Services Géoscientifiques Inc (entreprise partenaire) aimerait déterminer les sites de fixation préférentiels des métaux dans les sédiments de lac. La microscopie à balayage électronique sera utilisée pour cartographier les échantillons et observer où vont se fixer les différents éléments. Les échantillons utilisés ont déjà été testés par différentes méthodes. Le projet sera réalisé sur des échantillons dont les concentrations en éléments sont considérées comme anomales. Selon les résultats de l’étude, l’entreprise pourra développer un procédé d’analyse journalière pour déterminer le partitionnement des métaux lorsqu’ils sont présents en proportion anormal dans l’environnement

Comprehensive analysis of the production of green hydrogen from selected biomass (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) resources for assessment of the economic viability of the process.

This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis to investigate the optimum process parameters for generating green hydrogen from waste materials (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) and to assess the economic viability of the process. The use of the selected biomass as feedstock would provide a clearer scientific understanding of green hydrogen generation, proper management of the biomass, and better diversification of the energy mix of any country generating those wastes. It is envisaged that the study would provide great insights and a detailed understanding of the issues of real biomass complexity, particularly using the case study in this project

Stabilité d’un mélange de probiotiques sur litière de poulailler et efficacité pour contrôler des pathogènes

Le projet inclut plusieurs objectifs, dont le principal qui vise à évaluer l‘efficacité et la stabilité du produit Bio-Litter, un mélange de probiotiques contenant plusieurs souches de Bacillus spp. Ce produit est utilisé pour favoriser la formation d’un biofilm protecteur dans les environnements d’élevage, comme la litière des poulaillers et pourrait ainsi compétitionner avec des bactéries pathogènes. Les objectifs sont d‘étudier la capacité du produit à maintenir ses propriétés au fil du temps après inoculation sur des copeaux de bois, d’évaluer la capacité de formation de biofilm de souches de Bacillus spp. après maturation sur planchettes de bois afin d‘imiter les surfaces de bâtiments d‘élevage, et l‘évaluation de l‘inhibition de croissance de Bacillus sera fait envers deux pathogènes: Escherichia coli (APEC) et Salmonella. Dans l‘ensemble, le projet permettra d‘apporter des réponses quant à l‘efficacité du Bio-Litter en tant qu‘agent inhibiteur de pathogènes et outil de gestion durable.

Actualisation des pratiques de bientraitance pour les personnes aînées LGBTQ au Québec : Mise à jour du projet “Pour que vieillir soi gai” de la Fondation Émergence.

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre les réalités et les besoins des personnes aînées LGBTQ+ afin de favoriser des milieux de vie inclusifs et respectueux de leur diversité. Le stagiaire réalisera une étude qui explore les besoins spécifiques de cette population en matière de bientraitance et de sécurité, en tenant compte des multiples aspects de leur identité (âge, orientation sexuelle, identité de genre, etc.). Les résultats permettront de mettre à jour un guide d’information essentiel pour les intervenants en milieux de vie pour personnes âgées, développé par la Fondation Émergence. Ce guide offrira des recommandations pratiques pour aider les gestionnaires et intervenants à créer des environnements où les personnes aînées LGBTQ+ se sentent en sécurité et bien accueillies. Ce projet renforcera ainsi la qualité des services et la visibilité de cette population souvent marginalisée.
