Accélération du temps de simulation d’un jumeau numérique de broyeur semi-autogène à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle

Le broyeur semi-autogène (SAG) est le broyeur primaire le plus commun dans les usines minéralurgiques en raison de son faible coût en capital. Bien que très performants, les broyeurs SAG sont souvent opérés de manière sous-optimale (manquant quelques points de pourcentage de capacité), car il est impossible de voir ce qui se passe à l’intérieur de celui-ci (niveau de la charge et angle d’impact des boulets sur la charge) et donc de faire les meilleurs ajustements des variables d’opération. Jumine possède un simulateur numérique de broyeur SAG basé sur des principes physiques permettant d’estimer le comportement intérieur au broyeur. Opérer ce simulateur en temps réel, en parallèle à l’opération normale, permet donc aux usines minéralurgiques une meilleure productivité. Ce projet vise l’amélioration de cet outil de travail afin de le rendre plus précis.

Combined use of Watershed and Morphodynamic Modelling to aid in the Conservation of Wild Atlantic Salmon

With constant news about population decline and a perceived lack of action from governments, people feel discouraged about the future of wild salmon. There is a need for a new, bold plan for wild Atlantic salmon conservation in the freshwater environment that will start working today, and 100 years from now. Plans are underway to identify watersheds that are important to the survival of this fish but climate change threatens their habitat. A new, innovative approach is being explored that will model how changing weather patterns will affect freshwater streams that are crucial for the development of young salmon. The results from these computer simulations will go towards strategic planning of conservation methods to ensure the Atlantic salmon has a place to grow and spawn for generations to come.

3D Printing of Affordable Housing for Remote Communities in Canada

Rural homelessness in Canada is still an ongoing problem that the country is trying to address. Most of Canada’s indigenous families in remote communities are living in substandard housing that needs major repairs. 3D printing of cementitious material to digitally construct building structures has already gained considerable attention from both the public and private sectors. Because this technology allows rapid construction, reduced cost, and labor, minimal construction wastes, and offers architectural freedom through seamless design modification. So, using 3D printing technology makes it a potential solution for the Canadian remote communities where the traditional construction supply chain fails to address even increasing housing demand. Turning wood-waste into value added carbon-neutral building material is envisioned in this project

Data visualization and analytical tools for agroecology

To respond to the lack of digital tools for small-scale farmers, our team has been developing Litefarm (https://www.litefarm.org), a free and open source multifunctional web app which can be used by farmers to enter data for farm management, obtaining organic certification, and participatory assessment of agroecological outputs. Launched in 2020, LiteFarm is now the world’s first community-led, not-for-profit, digital platform joining farmers and scientists, and is being piloted independently by over 2500 farmers in more than 110 countries.The intern will join our team to develop tools for data access and visualization to researchers and Litefarm users, while contributing to the development of specific statistical and mathematical methods to investigate the determinants of agroecosystem diversity.

Co-creating best practices for implementing work-integrated learning programs across Canada

The Rural Development Network is looking to engage an intern to research and uncover best practices around work-integrated learning (WIL) programs. WIL combines classroom theory with practical experience (e.g. apprenticeship). This project will support and strengthen collaboration between post-secondary institutions, employers, and students across Canada in a rural and remote context. Together, we will identify trends, supporting systems, and best practices to create a toolkit that supports institutions that are looking to enhance or develop WIL programs.

Computational methods for atomic force microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool to investigate the mechanical properties of cell membranes, by using a probe to scan the surface of a biological sample. However, computational and mathematical tools are still lacking to process and analyze time-series data from AFM in an automated way. Our project aims to develop an end-to-end pipeline to quantify the biophysical heterogeneity of cells observed from AFM data, by developing algorithms and analytical tools in bioinformatics, computational geometry and image analysis. By applying our new methodology on data provided from our collaborator who pioneered the technique, we are also planning to assess the impact of various stress conditions and antibiotic treatment on the cell membrane, providing potential avenues for the development of novel treatments of microbial infections.

Pharmaceutical development of a thermo-sensitive polymer for intrabladder delivery

Targeted delivery of drugs can reduce the side effects associated with oral delivery systems. The urethra provides easy access of therapeutic agents to the urinary bladder, an ideal organ for localized therapy for the treatment of bladder cancer, interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder, and chronic prostatitis. We propose a new therapeutic approach to increase the residency time and efficacy of the drugs by using biogradable polymers as a drug carrier, allowing a prolonged release of drugs in the bladder. In this project, we will prepare a series of such temperature-responsive polymers by controlling the chemical composition of the polymersand study their characteristics and performance. We will start with the polymers already approved by FDA for pharmaceutical use, and also compare with other biocompatible polymers developed in our labs. The pharmaceutical aspects of the polymer-drug systems will be evaluated at Pharmascience.
With the growing demand in the treatments of bladder cancer and other related health problems, the development of a biocompatible polymeric platform capable of releasing various drugs in the bladder should warrant the R&D investment in this project. TOBECONT’D

Plans de conservation

Les stagiaires seront appelées à réaliser chacune un plan de conservation pour l’organisme à but non lucratif Nature Cantons-de-l’Est (NCE). À partir des données existantes dans la littérature ou auprès de gestionnaires de données, elles détermineront des cibles de conservation et de bien-être humain, identifieront menaces directes et indirectes pesant sur ces cibles, proposeront des stratégies qui se détailleront ensuite en termes d’objectifs et d’action puis établiront des plans de suivi et des plans opérationnels. Ces outils permettront à NCE, selon le cas, de mieux accompagner ses clients municipaux dans la conservation de leur milieux naturels ou comme outil de réflexion stratégie pour orienter tous les efforts de NCE à la grandeur de son territoire.

AI-based virtual assistant for the insurance industry

The insurance industry is a competitive sector that is expected to account for 3.1 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product in 2021. Leading insurers are investigating how machine learning (ML) may enhance company operations and customer satisfaction as clients become more selective about personalizing their insurance purchases to their particular needs. AI chatbots have the potential to significantly improve consumer satisfaction. Their primary goal is to assist consumers by answering questions. Chatbots may communicate with multiple users simultaneously and provide information within seconds. As a result, they are now widely used to enable companies and customers to communicate on websites and mobile messaging applications. In this project, we will develop an AI-based chatbot that will provide assistant, support and chatting services to potential customers.

Optimization of production and purification of Bacillin 20 from Bacillus thuringiensis MS20 to produce cannabis

Bacillus thuringiensis MS 20 produces a peptide, Bacillin 20, that has been shown to improve crop stress tolerance, enhance plant growth, stimulate the production of phytohormones and modify the plant root systems for better uptake of water and nutrients. The purification of Bacillin 20 from microbial broth culture is affected by the organic compounds present in the growth media and as such decreases the overall peptide yield when subjected to various purification steps. The proposed work aims to modify microbiological growth media by using minimal medium salts with other additives followed by centrifugation and lyophilization of the cell-free supernatant (CFS). The concentrated extract will be further fractionated by Flash chromatography and C18 cartridges and Bacillin 20 purified. This work will eliminate the organic solvent-based extraction step involved in Bacillin 20 purification and will enhance the overall recovery and yield of Bacillin 20.
