Pea proteins are now a major ingredient used in plant-based foods, with Canada being recognized as a major producer and exporter of dry peas. Pea protein concentrates and isolates are a complex mixture of proteins, the structure and composition of which directly impacts the functionality of pea protein ingredients, such as their ability to remain soluble, bind water, and form and stabilize emulsions and foams. Protein functionality thus affects the overall food quality. Pea protein structure and composition is affected by the use of different isolation methods (e.g., dry- and wet?fractionation), processing conditions, and different pea varieties, which in turn determines the functionality of these as ingredients in food. A clear understanding of how these different factors are interrelated is currently lacking, particularly for commercially-prepared samples. This project will combine analyses of protein composition, structure and functionality focused on commercially-relevant pea protein concentrates and isolates. This project will help reveal how different processing conditions affect pea protein structure and composition and, in-turn, functionality. This knowledge could be used by industry to optimize the manufacture of pea protein ingredients with improved function, sensory and nutritive properties.

To create an automated "content moderation" capability for the firm's short-form video delivery platform.

The objectives of this project are to test and further advance river ice modelling capabilities in the open-source hydrodynamic modelling package TELEMAC. This will be achieved by testing the capabilities of the existing KHIONE module for simulating frazil ice generation, and through development and implementation of dynamic ice cover routines within TELEMAC. The long-term objective is to develop capabilities to model river ice break-up processes. These new routines will be tested with available data on river ice cover dynamics.

EUREKA ITEA 3 Cluster - The 2020 ENTA consortium project co-led by Solana Networks (CAN) and Metodos y Tecnologia (ESP) will deliver an encrypted network traffic analysis service platform. The ENTA platform will leverage the latest techniques in Artificial Intelligence to enhance cyber security and network operations for Enterprise Networks and Service Providers while safe-guarding user privacy.

The properties of quantum materials (QMs) are determined by strong correlations between their degrees of freedom, such as charge, spins and phonons. To fully capture the rich physics of QM, a dynamical approach is needed to unravel how electronic correlations form and are disrupted, and how the various degrees of freedom interact to exchange energy and momentum. The goal of the Project is to develop a quantum sensing platform for dynamic probing of correlated phases in QMs. Using ultrafast techniques, this platform will provide sensitivity to all aspects of the dynamics in these materials. This includes Extreme Photonics techniques, Ultrafast Electron Scattering, and transport and optical probing. The platform will enable the discovery of new phases that are only available when the QMs are brought far from equilibrium. Understanding how to create and manipulate these new phases will lead to the development of future devices for information and communications technologies.
