Development of a novel skirting system for residential housing using composites

Canadian Vinyls Inc., based in Kelowna BC since 1994, has grown to become Canada’s largest distributor for vinyl skirting. CV represents an example of robust, local small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region, poised for expansion. The company through MITCAS support and interaction with the university team desires to bring on R&D capability to take advantage of perceived opportunities in creating an improved product and bringing more manufacturing opportunities locally. Specifically, the objective of this research project is to primarily perform a design optimisation of a novel residential skirting system, along with the associated manufacturing process, using composite materials for improved mechanical durability, aesthetics and thermal insulation performance. Thermo-mechanical modeling of prototype samples of housing skirting will be performed based on mechanics of composites and material selection techniques, and eventually a best-practice will be provided to construct a capability by the industrial partner to manufacture a new ‘Rapid Wall’ product.

Pharmacological Evaluation of a Novel Oral Amphotericin B Formulation for the Treatment of Disseminated Candidiasis: Providing New Therapeutic Alternative to the Commercial Intravenous Formulation

Amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice to treat systemic fungal infection. AmB is available as parenteral infusions given over a long period of time to hospitalized patients. Our goal is to develop a novel oral formulation to enhance AmB low absorption and decrease the nephrotoxicity associated with its intravenous administration. AmB will be formulated in lipid based formulation from which AmB is solubilized by the lipid digestion products in the presence of the bile acids in intestine. To assess the efficacy of the formulation, a fungal infection model will be developed. The model will be challenged using various treatment regimens to construct a dose-response correlation. With collaboration with iCo Therapeutics Inc., the company will benefit from the analytical and research facilities in UBC to get this product moving forward for further pre-clinical research before it can be tried on human volunteers.

Secured Cell Broadcasting technology in M2M communication for energy specific application

This project will focus on researching Cell Broadcast solutions for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications (command and control operations). As an alternative to the Internet, Cell Broadcast is expected to offer great
advantages to both Utility providers as well as Commercial/Residential HVAC consumers due to its characteristics and it’s broadcasting nature over cellular control channels. Adopting Cell Broadcast will generate several communications-related challenges that will be studied and researched throughout the grant period. Comprehensive proposed solutions for such challenges will be also addressed. The Mitacs program will assist NexGen Controls with expertise, knowledge and various skill-sets that the interns will provide to accelerate the research and development for the proposed project. The research outcomes will enable NexGen Controls customers to optimize and control energy resources from all utility providers through to their HVAC mechanical equipment, etc. Moreover, the project results will create a transition for NexGen Controls from a consumerfocused service provider, to a proven controls energy communications solution provider, offering unmatched, Internet resistant, secure command and control, for utility companies, commercial/industrial as well as residential consumers.

Characterization of impurities in Cd1-xZnxTe-based alloys for radiation detection applications

Compound semiconductors are widely used in a variety of consumer products such as TVs, smartphones, lighting modules, as well as in high-performance applications, e.g. medical imaging. The reliability and performance of such devices strongly depends on the purity of the base materials. This project proposes a systematic investigation of the impact of the level and the nature of residual impurities in bulk crystals on their optoelectronic properties. These results will, in turn, be used to establish quantitative criteria for determining the suitability of specific purified materials for detector fabrication. This project will enable 5N Plus to acquire new expertise and to develop new experimental setups for advanced optoelectronics characterization. This will provide them with a competitive advantage for developing materials fulfilling their clients’ needs.

Developing an On-field Test for Determining Recreational Water Quality

Recreational water sources are important commercial resources and activity hubs. Unfortunately, any public water source is prone to bacterial and viral contamination, which is a major concern for public health agencies. InnovoGENE Biosciences has a developed a simple test that can quickly determine the level of pathogens. Although this method has been rigorously tested in a laboratory, this test is unproven on the field. The intern has a significant understanding of the technology and is most suited to validate the assay and is capable of optimizing the assay for field use. The intern will work with research associates from InnovoGENE to perform field-tests between June to end of August and the data generated will be valuable for developing the first generation of prototypes.

Environmental productivity patterns of the Salish Sea

Pacific salmon are important from ecological, economic, social and cultural perspectives, but many species in the Salish Sea have seen drastic decrease in marine survival rate in recent decades, likely linked to reduced survival of the young stages of salmon due to a combination of environmental, food web changes, and human impacts. This activity will provide an ecosystem-level analysis of how the environmental productivity of the Salish Sea has changed in recent decades with focus on the implications this has had for salmon populations in the area. The aim is to develop a hypothesis for why the changes in environmental productivity impact salmon, as well as for how important productivity changes are for population trends as compared to food web effects and direct human impacts, notably through fishing.

INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR AUDIO AMPLIFIERS IN PORTABLE DEVICES

This project aims at designing and implementing an integrated control system for an audio power amplifier system for portable devices, having good efficiency and sound quality. The proposed design controls a DC-DC converter to produce a varying power supply to a class AB output stage. The varying power supply tracks the input audio signal and therefore significantly improves the efficiency. The system includes the DC-DC converter, the digital regulator, and the class AB output stage. The simulation of the designs will be done in both Matlab and Cadence. The final control system will be prototyped on a FPGA for characterization along with the DC-DC converter on a test board.
