Energy Planning Analytical Research

The Energy Planning department at BC Hydro looks at how the company can meet B.C.’s future electricity demand through conservation, generation and transmission, and through upgrades to existing infrastructure. As new resources require lead times to develop, BC Hydro must plan ahead so that the new resources are ready when we need them. The Energy Planning (EP) Analytical Research project is made up of three sub-projects that have the potential to improve the efficiency in which BC Hydro develops its residential and electric vehicle load forecast as well as the way BC Hydro ensures the reliability of its systems.

A Pilot Project to Assess the Pharmacoeconomic Feasibility ofSubcutaneous Immunoglobulin for Neuromuscular Diseases

For the management of neuromuscular disorders (NMD), subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) administration has become an alternate option, being a home-based alternative to conventional intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), with a comparable efficacy, minimum adverse effects and significant improvement to the quality of life. With the increased cost of healthcare management, it has become more challenging for clinicians and other healthcare decision makers to come up with a better alternative while considering economics factors, though as a secondary. There is not much knowledge about the cost of the management of NMDs with the alternative SCIg therapy along the side of IVIg. This study is aimed to assess the direct as well as indirect costs of the management of NMDs with SCIg while identifying healthcare resources utilization and considering the quality of
life as a major factor.

Recycling of Landfill Waste Plastics for the Manufacture of Fence Structures

The project examines the use of recycled plastics sourced from waste landfills for construction and infrastructure
applications such as fence panels, an idea developed by EcoFence. Through the course of this project a
comprehensive study is conducted to evaluate the mechanical and physical characteristics, such as strength
and sound absorption. The measured data is compared to those of conventional fencing materials such as vinyl,
composite wood and concrete. Based on these results, means for enhancing possibly inferior material
properties as compared to those of conventional materials are explored and recommendations for improving the
plastic material properties are provided accordingly.

Évaluation expérimentale de la traînée aérodynamique d’un camionsemi-remorque

Chaque année, des millions de dollars sont dépensés pour le transport des biens de base à travers le pays. De
plus, la facture ne cesse de grimper étant donné que le prix de l’essence en fait de même. D’autre part,
l’industrie du transport est responsable d’une grande partie des émissions de gaz à effet de serre au Canada et
au Québec. L’entreprise partenaire cherche des solutions novatrices et pratiques pour réduire la trainée
aérodynamique de sa flotte de camions semi-remorques.
Ce projet de collaboration, de 4 mois a pour objectif de quantifier expérimentalement la réduction de la traînée
aérodynamique d’un camion semi-remorque par l’ajout d’une jupe à la remorque. Pour atteindre l’objectif de ce
stage, des essais à la soufflerie de l’UdeS seront réalisés.

Default Rates and Recovery rate on Commercial loans in the Alberta Business Environment

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best practice risk models, with a special focus on modeling the evolution of default probabilities and potential losses given a default. Next, the models will be applied to selected loan portfolios that are held by the business partner. Given that the loan portfolio of ATB Financial is concentrated on the local economy, risk measures will be tailored to account for Alberta-specific economic factors.

Les compétences comportementales en entrepreneuriat collectif

L’essor sans précédent de l’entrepreneuriat au Québec s’accompagne de différentes propositions de formations visant le succès et la survie de ces projets. Cependant, les profils de compétences habituellement valorisés réfèrent classiquement aux cycles de gestion ; les compétences spécifiques dites comportementales y sont rarement identifiées et classifiées malgré toute leur pertinence.
J’ai établi un profil de compétences comportementales entrepreneuriales soutenu par des revues de littérature ; je l’ai intégré dans l’outil psychométrique TRIMA à l’aide d’un comité d’experts (benchmark) pour arriver à dégager un profil-type que nous avons expérimenté auprès d’une vingtaine d’entrepreneurs.
Mon objectif est de valider maintenant un profil-type spécifique à l’entrepreneuriat dans le domaine de l’hébergement touristique. TO BE CONT’D

Development of a numerical wave uprush prediction tool for the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River shoreline

Wave uprush and the potential for flooding are natural hazards that must be determined by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) prior to the approval of a near-shore development. The purpose of calculating wave uprush is to recommend building sites that are outside of the wave uprush area (and floodplain in general) to land owners and municipalities, as well as provide information for flood proofing of existing buildings, roadways, etc. The CRCA has manually calculated wave uprush at 200 sites along the more than 200 km of shoreline in eastern Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Recently, there has been a need to compute wave uprush along an additional 260 km of shoreline. This project will examine the accuracy of existing CRCA wave uprush methodology, by comparing their manual calculations against field observations of wave uprush. TO BE CONT’D

Tissue Microstructure of Surgical Specimens depicted with Optical Coherence Tomography

Perimeter Medical Imaging (PMI) has developed an investigational imaging device to aid in achieving clear margins during surgical oncology procedures. This project will employ PMI’s device to image multiple types of human tissues, which have been previously removed during elective or medical procedures. This study will correlate the images obtained using PMI’s device with the true microscopic structure of the tissue, as confirmed by a pathologist. These images will become part of a database of correlated images, which can be used to study the accuracy and precision of PMI’s device, and help to understand and improve upon this technology.

Development of an Echo Cancellation Scheme for Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 Technology

Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.1 is a technology that utilizes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology to provide downstream (DS) transmission capacities of up to 10 gigabits per seconds (Gbps), as well as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology to provide upstream (US) transmission capacities of up to 1 Gbps per channel. Full duplex (FDX) communication, via the concurrent transmission of the US and DS on the same frequencies, has been proposed for boosting the US capacity. Nevertheless, in an FDX communication system, one of the technical challenges is to overcome the deteriorating effect of interference from the transmitted signal into the collocated receiver. This situation is addressed by echo cancellation. TO BE CONT-D

Optical Tissue Imaging DICOM/PACS Integration

The aim of this project is to research and develop a new DICOM modality for the optical coherence tomography images obtained by Perimeter’s Optical Tissue Imaging (OTISTM) device. Following the creation of a suitable modality, a novel solution for transfer to and integration with the PACS servers utilized by current Perimeter customers will also be developed. The device currently allows for local storage and review of obtained data, with images only ever transferred onto different servers by Perimeter staff. Therefore, through integration with PACS servers, this project will allow for improved review and assessment of the data, better flexibility of the product, improved data backup capabilities, as well as lowered Perimeter involvement in the process.
