L’utilisation de l’assemblage modulaire et les cellules dynamiques pour améliorer l’efficacité des usines et de la chaîne logistique pour une entreprise réseau

Le stage a pour objectif l’amélioration l’efficacité de l’entrepise en utilisant un ensemble des techniques et méthodolgies du domaine de génie industriel. La première tâche principale est de mettre a jour l’ERP de l’entreprise ‘Enterprise Ressource Planning’. Il s’agit d’une base de données qui contient plusieurs sortes d’information de l’entreprise comme; la comptabilité, la logistique, la gestion de production, etc. Plus précisément, on va s’intéresser durant ce stage à compléter le paramétrage du GMAO, Gestion du Manufacturiere Assistée par Ordinateur qui est un parmi les plusieurs modules de l’ERP. Le GMAO sert à faciliter plusieurs tâches de l’entreprise, comme; le calcul du besoin en terme des produits, machines, opérateurs, etc. Par exemple, le temps de calcul des besoins d’un avion ou bien une voiture en composants passe de plusieurs heures à quelques secondes en utilisant un GMAO.Une autre tâche principale est la gestion de configuration. Elle est très importante pour le service d’ingénierie. Elle permet de diminuer les risques des erreurs. L’utilisation d’un composant dans un avion qui fait partie d’une autre avion ou bien une ancienne version peut causer des problèmes graves. Donc la gestion de configuration vient pour lutter contre toutes ces erreurs.

Genome engineering of large chromosomal deletions

Cancer is associated with an accumulation of alterations in genes that confer the ability of cancer cells to grow uncontrollably. These alterations can contribute to increased deleterious function or loss of function of genes that normally regulate cell growth. Genes in our cells are organized on chromosomes which duplicate every time a cell divides. In addition to alterations in single genes, it is now recognized that large deletions on chromosomes comprising multiple genes are also important events in cancer. My project will focus on a common deletion on chromosome 4p, which is frequently observed in a subset of breast cancer called triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This subset has no targeted therapies and has the worst survival. The aim of this project is to use genome engineering approaches to understand the functional consequences of the loss of chromosome 4p. This should enhance our understanding of TNBC and offer possible avenues for personalized interventions to individuals diagnosed with the disease.

Synthèse et étude structure-activité des bactériocines produites par Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CNCM I-5369

ace à la propagation alarmante des bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques, le développement de nouveaux antimicrobiens avec des modes d’action innovateurs est devenu une priorité mondiale. Parmi les différentes alternatives, les peptides antimicrobiens d’origine bactérienne comme les bactériocines sont très prometteurs. Ce projet s’intéresse particulièrement à cinq bactériocines produites par la bactérie Lacticaseibacillus paracasei qui ont démontré des activités inhibitrices prometteuses sur plusieurs bactéries pathogènes cliniquement importantes. Malgré leur énorme potentiel, leur étude et leur utilisation sont limitées par les difficultés associées à leur production. Dans le but de surmonter ces limitations, l’objectif du projet est de développer de nouvelles approches pour produire par synthèse chimique les bactériocines cibles et des analogues afin d’explorer leur spectre d’action et d’optimiser leurs propriétés pharmacologiques. En plus de donner accès aux bactériocines et leurs analogues en grande quantité, ce projet permettra d’évaluer leur utilisation dans les secteurs agroalimentaire, vétérinaire et médical.

Palmitoylethanolamide as an intervention for preventing schizophrenia in a maternal immune activation rodent model

The major problem with intervention for schizophrenia is the inability to treat all symptom categories (positive, negative, and cognitive) sufficiently. The need to test new novel therapies is crucial, which may prevent the onset of this debilitating disorder. Since intervention is limited to individuals at high risk, researchers have turned to animal models to test novel therapies or to identify biomarkers translatable to the human condition. It is thought that the added stress of coming into adulthood expedites the psychotic symptoms in high-risk individuals. This can be translated into animal models via prenatal immune activation. We propose to use the maternal immune activation model (the viral mimic lipopolysaccharide [LPS] during pregnancy) combined with stress activation during adolescence (one-time injection of HPA-axis activator, yohimbine) along with extensive behavioural analysis and brain histology to test specific interventions. We will investigate the possible preventative effects of ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and associated endocannabinoid-mediated mechanisms. PEA is an endogenous anti-inflammatory lipid mediator in the brain that can be consumed safely as a dietary supplement in youth. The main priority of this project is to attempt to prevent the onset of schizophrenic-like symptoms in adulthood and to identify possible biomarkers of this disease’s pathology.

Étude sur le défaut septal ventriculaire – L’impact de la patient-spécificité sur des accidents de la route

Ce projet étudiera l’impact des accidents de route et les mécanismes associés à la communication interventriculaire post-traumatique.
Deux théories dominantes ont été décrites: 1) une compression aiguë du cœur entre le sternum et la colonne vertébrale, entraînant une augmentation soudaine de la pression intracardiaque à la fin de la diastole ou de la systole isovolumétrique, 2) une perturbation microvasculaire provoquée par une lésion du myocarde, conduisant à un infarctus et à une liquéfaction du septum.
La partie1 étudiera le mécanisme basé sur un modèle localisé 1D du cœur sur Circadapt. Elle simulera différentes hypothèses en termes de modification pression/volume: simuler l’effet du blunt et de la circulation sanguine.
La partie2 quantifiera le changement de débit associé aux changements morphologiques et anatomiques ventriculaires et septaux. L’étude examinera la modification de la contraction ventriculaire et de la pression de remplissage et des volumes des deux ventricules en cas de VSD aigu; la modification du flux pulmonaire et son impact dans ces conditions; les propriétés matérielles du myocarde septal.
La partie3 créera un simulateur cardiaque pour la validation du modèle cardiaque. Une telle création de fantôme permettra de reproduire l’altération du remplissage et de la pression ventriculaire à l’aide d’un fantôme à deux chambres.

Incorporation of municipal solid wastes for the development of an efficient CO2 utilization polygeneration process

This project deals with designing an efficient polygeneration process that incorporates municipal solid waste (MSW) drying and conversion to syngas process for reducing the load on the hydrogen unit of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes. The main benefit of this system is the production of high-pressure steam and high-quality syngas with minimum greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the whole idea of the project is that instead of incinerating the waste with environmental impacts, convert it into a value-added product such as jet fuel.

Leak Detection with Economics-Driven Convolutional Neural Networks applied to German cities and benchmarking with previous studies

This project aims to employ cutting-edge deep learning models to address the critical issue of water leakage in water distribution networks (WDNs). Leakage in WDNs leads to significant water wastage, infrastructure damage, service disruption, and even contamination. The proposed approach leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained explicitly for optimizing leak detection. Using synthetic datasets that simulate leaks of varying sizes, times, and locations, it is intended to develop a model that excels at economic score-based leak detection. This project’s primary focus is to provide efficient and accurate AI-based solutions for promptly identifying and pinpointing leaks in WDNs across German cities; since Canadian cities are experiencing a high level of water leakages, in the future steps, applying the developed model to Canadian cities. The expected benefit for participating institutions is to enhance the sustainability and reliability of water distribution systems, reduce water loss, and contribute to a more resilient and cost-effective water infrastructure management.
