Evaluation of autonomous seating adjustments through subjective and objective measures

Sitting can become particularly problematic when individuals remain in a fixed position for a prolonged period of time. Pressure can develop in the areas of the body that are compressed by the seat, which can lead to a significant reduction in blood flow to the surrounding tissues. As a result, seat adjustability becomes necessary for the maintenance of good health since movement would help relieve pressure from areas of the body compressed by the seat. Using subjective and objective measures of comfort, a fully adjustable manual and new autonomous seating concept will be compared. The intent is to provide the partner organization with a thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of this new seating technology to meet consumer demands.

Mapping patterns of fluid flow in carbonate-hosted Au-deposits, Nadaleen Trend, Yukon

The physicochemical character of the hydrological regime that formed Carlin-type Au-deposits (CTGDs) are poorly understood and represents a critical knowledge gap relating to their genesis. We are undertaking an integrated geological and geochemical study of the Nadaleen trend of CTGDs in the Yukon to better define the hydrological regime that controlled their formation. The proposed Mitac internship will form part of the overall study – building a robust geological framework for defining the pathways that the hot auriferous fluids followed when they formed the CTGDs along the Nadaleen trend. The geological framework will be used by the intern as a basis for collecting geologically constrained samples for subsequent laboratory analysis. The partner organization will benefit from daily interaction with the intern as he shares his observations, data, and interpretations. TO BE CONT’D

Generic model-based development of test means for flight control systems using variability

The development of test means for aircraft flight control systems for is a complex, multidisciplinary and time consuming task. In this project a Master student will develop a reusable model-based development framework, based on an open source tool and methodology. This model-based systems engineering approach will allow the formalization of the generic aspects of the flight control system test means as well as the variability and specific aspects. With this novel approach the industry partner will improve the efficiency of the test means development process by reducing development time, rework and documentation, but also by improving communication and understandability of the complex test means.

Comparative Analysis on Various Blockchain Technologies and How Can They Transform the Financial Services for Scotiabank

Blockchain is an emerging technology that has the potential to change the way financial participants transact with each other. It enables direct transfer of value and financial assets between participants over networks without the need for a central authority (internet of value). It does this by combining the functionality of different technologies – distributed systems, smart contracts, mutual consensus verification, and cryptography. Given its potential Scotiabank is investing in technical research and business application. The intern will:
• Research blockchain protocols to understand how they operate, their strengths and weaknesses, and key differing characteristics.
• Collaborate with Product and Business Units to apply the technology through proofs-of-concept to determine how it can alter business models and to gain applied insights into the technology.

Labeling a user’s speech in real-time for always-on VoIP

TurnMeUp is an iOS app for always-on voice communications. Users leave the app running in the background and can talk to the recipient (also using the app) at any time. This app is especially useful for coworkers listening to their own music in the background without needing to enter and exit voice call sessions manually. To conserve bandwidth and ensure that users listen to music without being unnecessarily interrupted, TurnMeUp sends voice signals to the recipient only if the user is speaking. The purpose of this project is to improve the algorithm used for detecting when the user is speaking (as opposed to background noise or other people speaking) in real time, using contemporary machine learning methods. This project will potentially improve the performance of TurnMeUp; to the greatest extent possible, it will ensure that the entirety of a user’s speech, and nothing else, is sent to the recipient.

Laboratory and Field Assessment of Performance of Treated Wildland Vegetative Fuels

The proposed project will assess and quantify the energy transfer from wildland fires as it relates to coverage of vegetative fuel with wildland fire chemicals for protection of wildland/urban interfaces. The project will extend on preliminary work on the relative performance of wildfire chemicals (e.g., water, gel, foam, and long-term retardants) on forest vegetation. The results of this proposed project will further develop proactive fire control measures, a priori to the occurrence of a fire, for community protection.

Advancing Design for Sea Level Rise—Fraser River Delta

With the onset of climate change, sea level rise is a major global concern including distinct local issues. This project looks at the extremely venerable coastal city/port city of Vancouver. Recent reports call for major infrastructure improvements primarily focused on engineering and not on spatial and design approaches to this challenge. Currently there is no coordinated effort to find innovative solutions to Sea Level Rise adaptation. This project looks at exploring Sea Level Rise adaptation as an opportunity to address multiple issues including opportunities for recreation, habitat creation, energy development and food security. This multi-scalar and multi-jurisdictional challenge is a unique opportunity to setup a collaboration between professional practice and academia. This project will bring together students and professionals to sponsor knowledge sharing between these various landscape architecture firms as well as with many different municipalities in the Vancouver Region

Data analysis for a Bridge Structural Health Monitoring System (SHM)

The world has many ageing bridge structures which are being used well beyond their design service life time. It is of essential interest for the governments and public to insure safety and sustainability of bridges. One of the most advanced techniques used to investigate the conditions of bridges is the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The targeted bridge is instrumented with several sensors and the data collection is performed using appropriate Data Acquisition System (DAQ). Several software and algorithms are used to stream the data life to the cloud and perform analysis on the data to extract the vital signals of the bridge. Decision is made after that based on the health condition of the bridge.

Real Time Tone Mapping of HDR Video Content

High Dynamic Range (HDR) content and displays are available on the market but the vast majority of the users displays are Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), not able to reproduce the enriched, higher quality and with more details HDR content. Thus, operators to compress the HDR content and make it ready to be able to be displayed on the SDR displays with the minimum possible loss of information are needed. These algorithms are called Tone Mapping Operators (TMOs). The majority of the TMO operators were designed to address HDR images but not video sequences. The naïve application of such an operator to HDR video sequences raises visual artifacts such as flickering, ghosting and temporal inconsistency. On this work we aim to extend an existing TMO to be able to handle HDR video without suffering from the before mentioned issues. TO BE CONT’D

An Assessment of Local Business’ Understandings and Needs for Community Leadership in a Small Urban Setting

Community leadership development and training programs must respond to changing corporate and public perceptions. There has been a lack of research on community leadership within small urban settings, where the impact that training and development programs have may be high. Our objective is to describe how local businesses in a small urban setting understand community leadership and what needs they have with respect to training and development. We will conduct fifteen in-depth interviews with a diverse range of local business leaders in Greater Victoria, British Columbia. Community leadership will be understood as something distinct from marketing and philanthropy. Understanding of community leadership will vary greatly by business and a diverse range of development needs identified to help inform Leadership Victoria’s future program and service offerings. This research will help to build and support stronger community leadership in Greater Victoria and other smaller urban settings across North America.
