Energy flexibility of residential buildings using electric heat storage

This project proposes to model the energy environment of a typical Canadian multi-dwelling building and to develop a mechanism for optimized management of the energy consumed under different operating conditions. The model will allow to simulate the energy needs during winter periods and to quantify the flexibility potentials. It will also explore management modes by considering new tariff structures while keeping adequate conditions for the occupants. The researchers will build the thermal model of an apartment block including thermal storage elements for each unit, perform the sizing of the thermal accumulators using convex optimization tools and evaluate the flexibility potential of the building in a heating system interruption scenario.

Resource Allocation in Integrated Terrestrial and Non-terrestrial Networks

Due to increasing demands for novel services, advancements in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are seen as an effective solution to complement terrestrial networks (TNs) in under-served areas. However, the high mobility of new users, e.g., autonomous cars, in addition to that of NTN platforms, will cause extreme signal fluctuations. The latter will lead to radio link failures caused, for instance, by late executed handovers, or inefficient uplink/downlink resource allocation. Moreover, the integrated NTN-TN infrastructure is dynamic in terms of resource availability and loitering time. This makes resource allocation in the integrated NTN-TN a challenging task. Consequently, we target in this project the development of novel and intelligent (machine learning-based) resource allocation schemes across the integrated TN-NTN, to maximize the capacity, energy efficiency, and loitering time, while accounting for the NTN-TN dynamicity and limited resources. Developed methods would enable the seamless integration of NTNs to TNs, identified as a key 6G paradigm.

Sustainable Management of Hazardous Material Transportation with Uncertainties and Disruption

Rooting in the present and aiming for the future, sustainability development has drawn more and more public attention lately. This proposed project focuses on embracing sustainability measures as the goal of managing hazardous material transportation. In more detail, we target the three pillars of sustainability, namely the economy, society, and environment, and incorporate them into constructing and managing an efficient and ecological logistics system for hazmat. Practical and adaptive solutions for locating facilities, allocating resources, planning shipping routes, and transportation policymaking will be examined and investigated without ignoring the inevitable uncertainties and unavailability in the real world. The key purpose of this research is to grasp a better understanding of the current transportation networks, develop a sustainable transportation system for hazardous materials, and serve the relevant stakeholders in achieving a sustainable future.

Population size and predation risk of Leach’s Storm-petrel (Hydrobates leucorhoa) nesting at Île-Bonaventure, Québec

Leach’s Storm-petrel are a small, wide-spread, pelagic seabird that have recently undergone population declines, they are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and Threatened in Canada. Populations of Leach’s Storm-petrel on the Gaspé Peninsula are very small and known from just two locations. Île Bonaventure, a migratory bird sanctuary and part of the Parc National de l’Île Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé is thought to have a small nesting population. The goal of this project is to complete the first recent population census of the nesting population of Leach’s Storm-petrel on this island, to delineate the nesting areas on the island, and assess the risk of predation from mammalian predators, specifically red fox, voles, mice, and weasels. The results of this project are key to understanding the nesting population on Île Bonaventure, to expand our knowledge of the species in Atlantic Canada, and will be used by managers to ensure proper conservation and management practices are implemented for the species on l’Île Bonaventure.

Stage en exploration minière 2023

Ce projet vise à donner des expériences de stage appliqué dans le domaine de l’exploration minière à des étudiants/étudiantes en géologie au niveau maîtrise. Ces stages seront accueillis par des compagnies d’exploration ou de service basées au Canada à la recherche de différents types de minéralisation sur des propriétés minières dont le niveau de connaissance est variable. Le début du stage est marqué par une formation pratique sur des concepts théoriques et techniques de la géologie d’exploration au Canada et donnée à l’UQAT. Par la suite, les stagiaires seront déployés vers leur compagnie d’accueil respective. Faisant partie d’une équipe interdisciplinaire et supervisé par un géologue, les stagiaires participeront à des travaux de cartographie géologique, d’échantillonnage, de mesures de propriétés physiques et/ou de descriptions de forage dans le but de découvrir de nouvelles minéralisations ou de définir les extensions de zones déjà connues. Ces stagiaires permettront aux organismes partenaires d’avoir accès à des étudiants/étudiantes en géologie dont le corps d’emploi est en grande demande sur le marché du travail canadien présentement.

Characterization, antibacterial mechanism and improvement of Kisolite Clay Year Two

Kisolite Clay, a unique BC clay, has been found to have healing properties for skin irritation and internal ailments. However, this clay is not well understood in terms of its chemical and physical properties and the mechanism underlying its antibacterial properties. During preliminary tests it was found that the pH and oxidation state of the Kisolite clay changed over time. The impact of these changes on antibacterial properties will be investigated. The proposed project will also investigate the relevance of different chemical/physical parameters on the antibacterial activity, and determine the antibacterial mechanism(s) of this clay. This will assist the company to understand the key properties of the clay and to discover whether there are measures which could enhance and maintain the antibacterial activity. Based on the results, the company should be in a better position to market and preserve the desired antibacterial activities in the future.

Synthèse et caractérisation biochimique de dendrimères fluorescents

En raison de la présence de la Barrière Hémato-Encéphalique (BHE), le cerveau est considéré comme l’un des organes les plus difficiles à cibler pour une action pharmacologique. Les pathogènes neurotropes, en revanche, ont été démontrés capables de traverser cette barrière et d’infecter les tissus cérébraux à travers l’endothélium microvasculaire cérébral. Ce projet repose sur l’hypothèse qu’une stratégie similaire, basée sur une approche pathogène-biomimétique, pourrait améliorer significativement la translocation endothéliale cérébrale de nanovecteurs décorés avec deux ligands qui ciblent deux corécepteurs agissant coopérativement.
Ce projet est divisé en trois parties:
1- Synthétiser des dendrimères fluorescents greffés avec Cy5 et les caractériser qualitativement (FT-IR, spectrofluorométrie) et quantitativement (1H-RMN, DLS/ELS, Turbiscan)
2- Développer et valider un protocole pour la purification de nanoparticules par filtration tangentielle automatisée.
3- Utiliser un modèle de barrière hémato-encéphalique pour explorer les mécanismes de transcytose des dendrimères fluorescents.

Entre planification urbaine et appropriation citoyenne des espaces: une enquête visuelle sur le design urbain à Montréal

Le projet dans lequel s’insère l’étudiant-stagiaire a pour objectif une étude sur la perception des citoyens quant aux changements survenus dans l’espace public de la ville de Montréal dans le cadre de politiques d’aménagements éphémères de l’espace urbain. Ces politiques font suite à la volonté de Montréal de se positionner en tant que ville créative, c’est-à-dire de se distinguer internationalement en termes de design et d’aménagement urbain créatif. L’objectif principal de l’étudiant-stagiaire consiste en la documentation des perspectives des citoyens à l’égard de la transformation de leur ville en passant par des observations dans l’espace public. Finalement, il s’agira de comprendre la manière dont ces changements sont vécus par les citoyens de la ville de Montréal et si ces modifications contribuent réellement à l’amélioration de la vie urbaine de ses habitants.
