In cannabis, specialized structures on flowers produce unique compounds with medicinal importance. This project will investigate the physical and chemical landscape of these surface structures through the application of 3D imaging and synchrotron light technologies, revealing how the broad range of medicinal compounds are sequestered on cannabis flowers.

We envision developing methods and automated tools for characterizing RF environments using machine learning techniques. This
includes compact representations of signals, identifying groups (clusters) of signals, blind class discovery, classification, and assessing
novelty of signals. We envision developing a common open format for the distribution of these datasets, with a focus on compatibility
with pertinent standards such as IEEE 1900.

The sparse representation will allow for inter-site collaboration on RFI detection and mitigation techniques which will establish us as
the global leaders in combating detrimental effects of new interference sources (satellite mega constellations, 5G, etc.). The signal
classification and novelty detection will enable rapid response to new interfering events ensuring DRAO remains a unique location able
to carry out transformative radio science in Canada.

The group at OVGU Magdeburg will lead the development of the proposed Thermographic Phosphor Streak Velocimetry technique. The team will apply the diagnostic to heated laminar and turbulent air and validate it against the conventional Thermographic Particle Image Velocimetry. Additional experiments on a heated boundary layer will be set-up in Magdeburg to apply the technique in a challenging near-wall configuration, and the results will be compared the results of synthetic streak simulations performed at Polytechnique Montreal. The team at OVGU Magdeburg will also work closely with the NRC to both implement the TPSV system at the NRC and set up the two-phase flow experiment.

To characterize the performance of the proposed thermographie phosphor streak velocimetry (TPSV) technique, high-fidelity numerical
flow simulations will be performed at Polytechnique Montréal. The flow configuration will consist of a turbulent boundary layer
developing over a heated fiat plate. Synthetic TPSV measurements will be implemented using a particle tracing algorithm to provide
fine-grained validation and characterization of the experimental technique. Furthermore, the synthetic measurements will provide
information otherwise inaccessible from experiments, such as the rôle of 3D effects and potential slip velocity between the particles
and the surrounding flow.
