Financing food security: Impact investing for small-scale food processors

The small-scale food processing industry is underrepresented within scholarly and industry discourses,
despite its vital role in local economies, food systems, supply chains, and Canadian food security. How
can a financing model developed by the Small Scale Food Processors Association (SSFPA) best enable
its members to continue to innovate, support local economies, and contribute to the security of the
Canadian food system? This project reviews available information on impacting investing to provide
keys insights on how SSFPA might support its members and offer unique opportunities to processors,
paying special attention as it relates to financing for women and marginalized peoples. These insights
will support SSFPA in its development of a financing model for its members that aligns with SSFPA’s
strategic goals. This research both contributes to establishing this fund and improves the visibility of
small-scale processing both in scholarship and within the food industry with an emphasis on equitable
practices.

Integrating attentional shifts to improve stereo vision in robot navigation

Artificial 3D vision is computationally intensive. It takes an impractically long time for a robot to analyze a video frame in order to accurately estimate the locations of nearby obstacles. This project will develop new techniques for selecting only the most important regions of each video frame to analyze at each moment, so that a robot can update its knowledge of obstacle locations a number of times per second. CrossWing Inc. is developing a telepresence robot that needs this capability in order to support rapid semi-autonomous navigation.

Quantum non-Gaussian state generation

Quantum computers can potentially solve problems that are intractable for classical computers. However, despite the development of a theory on the processing of quantum information over the years, the computers we use every day still outperform their quantum counterparts, if we exclude some as interesting as specific tasks. In fact, quantum states that are manipulated in place of bits are extremely sensitive to noise and thus make the quantum computation error-prone.
Quantum error correction is thus crucial in this context. While in classical information theory, redundancy can be used to detect and correct the error, in the quantum domain we usually encode the information typically stored in one quantum bits in many bits entangled among them. The error correction protocol is especially efficient when the overall states used to encode the information are non-Gaussian. However, non-Gaussian states are much more difficult to generate than Gaussian ones, and improving success probability of conditional sources is key to make them fast and reliable. The goal of the project is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these conditional sources, based, for example, on Gaussian boson sampling devices, and determine which modifications can enhance their success probability or reduce the required resources.

Characterization of long-term eating behaviors (~15 years) in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and eating habits likely to lead to weight regain.

The project aims to improve the pharmacovigilance and the report from the adverse events derivative from the drug use for treatment of heart failure. This will occur through the analysis of reported adverse events compared to those not reported throughout the years. In addition, factors associated with reported adverse events, especially fatal ones, will be analyzed. The results of this project will allow us to know the gaps to be filled in the reporting of serious AEs in heart failure as well as identify avenues for corrective measures to optimize it. In this regard, the research will help to improve the health of the population who suffer from these events. Besides, it will include both urban and rural areas in all the levels of assistance (primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary).

Performing Culture through the sport of Ekiden Racing: Learning from the Japanese Sporting ethos of long-distance running

Historical documents about Japan have not included information on its long-distance running culture. A type of event called ‘ekiden’ is very popular in Japan. Ekiden racing is a team relay event, invented in Japan. Sporting events can tell us about the meaning people place on them, and the reasons why they are valued. This project is designed to learn about Ekiden through the experiences of Japanese runners, staff, academics, and spectators. It explores, 1. the origins and cultural significance of running in Japan, 2. seeks to understand the ways in which Japanese running culture is experienced by the Japanese. This project will, 1. make connections and contacts for future research collaboration between Canadian and Japanese universities and scholars, 2. conduct Interviews, 3. visit the Hakone Ekiden Museum, 4. conduct observations of ekiden races, 5. collected data for a PhD dissertation, and 6. contribute to academic knowledge between cultures on sport.

Évaluer les effets de dérivés (THC et CBD) du cannabis vapoté par la cigarette électronique sur la pathogénicité des microorganismes buccodentaires

La cigarette électronique est un dispositif proposé aux fumeurs pour remplacer la cigarette standard dans le but de réduire-éliminer les effets nocifs de la fumée de cigarette. Cette cigarette électronique est habituellement utilisée pour vapoter un liquide composé de propylène glycol, de glycérine végétale et de nicotine. Cependant, plusieurs études rapportent une combinaison de l’e-cigarette avec des produits dérivant du cannabis. Parmi ces produits nous trouvons l’ajout du THC ou de CBD à la solution à vapoter. Le chauffage de ces produits du cannabis en combinaison avec les produits chimiques contenus dans le liquide à vapoter pourrait induire plusieurs pathologies au niveau de la bouche. Parmi ces pathologies, la flore buccale pourrait être perturbée favorisant les infections, dont la candidose ou les caries dentaires. Le présent projet est d’étudier les effets du vapotage des produits de cannabis sur le comportement des microbes trouvés dans la bouche des utilisateurs d’e-cigarette. Après réalisation, cette étude nous permettra d’avoir des résultats qui nous aideront à mieux conseiller les utilisateurs sur les bienfaits/les dangers de la cigarette électronique combinée ou non aux produits du cannabis.

ROC (Reservoir on Chip) Modified Water Flooding for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Oil and natural gas are typically found in the reservoir rock, accumulating over millions of years and can be extracted through various techniques and technologies. The oil from the reservoir can be extracted in three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary. Secondary techniques are often implemented after the production from the primary stage ceases, mainly due to a decline in the reservoir’s natural pressure energy. Traditional Water flooding technique can recover 30-40% of OOIP (Original oil in place) and is one of the most common secondary techniques in the field stage, primarily due to the low cost and abundant availability of saline water (brine). The proposed project primarily focuses on developing alternative novel techniques to extract the remaining oil, which is either trapped inside due to capillary forces or bypassed due to reservoir heterogeneity. The proposal emphasises using the novel microfluidic platform-based Reseroivor on Chip concept to explore and understand the flow phenomena at the pore scale. The learnings from direct visualisation will potentially play a decisive role in designing and implementing improved and clean waterflooding techniques per the stringent climate laws.

Optimisation de processus de remplissage des bacs au mezzanine du centre de distribution de Boucherville de Rona inc

L’optimisation des opérations dans les entrepôts constitue une composante importante dans une démarche de réduction des coûts et par conséquent d’augmentation de la compétitivité des entreprises. Le bon fonctionnement des grands centres de distribution est basé sur leur capacité à réduire le temps de réception et d’expédition des commandes. Dans le contexte du problème étudié dans ce projet, on s’intéressera particulièrement à l’optimisation du temps pour compléter les commandes de produits à l’unité dont la préparation se fait dans des bacs qui sont remplis pour être ensuite acheminés vers le client par camion. Le remplissage des bacs se fait via un circuit de tapis roulants automatiques reliant différents secteurs de l’entrepôt. Nous utiliserons un modèle de simulation pour représenter le fonctionnement actuel de ce circuit afin de tester différentes règles visant l’optimisation du temps de préparation des commandes.
