Building the Evaluation Capacity of the Alberta Mentoring Partnership – Part 3

The goal of the proposed research project is to assist the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) is building the
capacity of Alberta mentoring organizations to evaluate their mentoring programs using a community-driven
approach. In particular, this year, we hope to develop and implement more accessible supports that will build the
capacity of those organizations who have lower pre-existing knowledge, skills, and motivation to evaluate their
programs. We hope that by helping these organizations build their capacity to gather evidence on their
programs, they will be able to use that evidence to inform the best possible programs, practices, and policies for
supporting children, youth, and families.

Real-time AI-based Anomaly Detection of 5G Network Latency ** Extension with new objectives and deliverables **

LatenceTech offers a cloud analytics and monetization solution for cellular networks with a special focus on ultra-low latency connectivity. Using SAAS and AI, our solution helps mobile operators, telecom vendors and advanced industries to track, predict and secure the new benefits of 5G cellular technology.
This project consists in creating ML Models to perform near real-time anomaly detection of the response time (latency) of 5G cellular technology. This will enable LatenceTech’s solution to send warnings and alerts to management systems so that our customers, mobile operators, can take actions and resolve network issues. Furthermore, notifications of latency anomalies could be sent directly to connected applications (e.g. robotaxis, teleoperation of equipment, telemedicine, etc.) to warn them of current issues related to latency and allowing such application to switch to a “Safe Mode” thus preventing impacts on service quality or security.

ML enhanced magnetic noise modeling for quantum magnetometry

Magnetic field sensing is intrinsically sensitive to its environment. In this project, we are developing compensation tools to mitigate against different types of magnetic noise to enhance the accuracy of a quantum magnetometer and of a platform including multiple magnetometers. Data will be collected at various magnetic characterization facilities to inform a ML based correction algorithm to cancel for hard, soft and temperature effects. The results will be directly applied to magnetic survey equipment on ground, air and eventually space to build accurate magnetic maps. Such tools will enhance geological interpretations in mining, refine the accuracy of the World Magnetic Model and ease magnetic sensing deployment across platforms, while enhancing the performance of a diamond based sensor.

Document Clustering: Assigning the Appropriate Research Area(s) to Incoming Project Proposals

There is an Elite graduate program at the University of Toronto’s Department of Computer Science called Master of Applied Science in Computing (MScAC).
During this program students spend 8 months taking graduate courses and 8 months at their applied research internship at multinational research labs and startups, which send their project proposals for program approval. The MScAC business development team wants to know to which categories those projects belong. So the first part of the research is to automatically assign the appropriate research area(s) to incoming research projects without human effort.
Each internship has an industrial supervisor and an academic supervisor. The problem here is there are a lot of professors at the University of Toronto with different research interests. Finding a suitable supervisor whose research interests match the theme of the research project the student is working on can be a time-consuming task.

Développement d’un système THz automatisé de contrôle de la qualité

Aujourd’hui, le processus actuel de contrôle de la qualité dans les industries alimentaires et de l’électronique imprimée ne répond pas parfaitement aux besoins des industriels. Le plastique, à titre d’exemple, est un contaminant qui est très nuisible et complexe à détecter pour les industriels du secteur alimentaire avec les technologies actuelles.
Au cours des deux dernières années, des avancées majeures dans le développement d’émetteurs et de récepteurs Terahertz (THz) ont permis d’envisager la production d’appareils de contrôle THz à des coûts acceptables. Ainsi, le projet mené conjointement par IRIDIS Technologies et TRAQC vise à la création d’une nouvelle solution d’inspection basée sur les ondes électromagnétiques de fréquences THz qui viendrait répondre aux problématiques de contrôle de qualité sectoriel non solutionnées à ce jour.

Investigating the biophysics and structural basis for state dependent drug blockade of persistent/late sodium current (INa(P)) in the heart using photoactivatable crosslinking unnatural amino acidsYR2

Electrical activity in the heart is controlled by the concerted activity of many proteins called ion-channels that regulate the transfer of different ions across cell membranes. Recently, researchers in biomedical science have identified that a particular component of sodium carrying ion-channel activity (called the persistent or late sodium current also known as INa(P)) played a major role in controlling the electrical activity of the heart. More recent research suggests that this late sodium current may be involved in various cardiac diseases. This research project seeks to understand and define the mechanisms by which the late sodium current arises and how drugs block this current. This is of great benefit to Cardiome, our industrial partner, because it will allow them to understand the states through which ion channels must pass to generate their currents, and help guide the application of this science toward the invention and development of novel therapeutics.

Mindfulness and indigenous dance as therapeutic modality for chronic conditions

This project is about studying the effects of mindfulness and indigenous dance movement in adults with anxiety. Anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, however, less than half of people with anxiety receive treatment and the few that receive treatment, default. Social support and cultural understanding of mental illness has been identified as potential areas of intervention. Mindfulness and indigenous dance movement such as Indlamu (of South African origins) and Aboriginal (of Canadian origins) are worth investigating because mindfulness and dance have been found to improve the spirit of social cohesion and sharing. Through the proposed study, we hope to i) develop a culturally conscious, interdisciplinary, and patient-centered approach to the management of anxiety and ii) validate our indigenous knowledge systems. Furthermore, we hope to inspire the realization that we all play an important role in society, and in the words of Eckhart Tolle, “we are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important we all are”.

INVESTIGATION INTO ANTI-DIABETIC, ANTI-MICROBIAL AND HYPOLIPIDEMIC PROPERTIES OF SORBUS DECORA USED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES – EFFECTS ON PI3-K/AKT SIGNALLING PATHWAY

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease, which is characterized by insufficient or inefficient insulin secretory response and elevated blood glucose level (Prabhakar and Doble, 2008). In 2021, 536.6 million people worldwide suffered from diabetes and this number is projected to grow to 783.2 million by 2045 (Sun et al., 2022). Sorbus decora (SD), commonly known as the northern mountain ash, is a very small tree native to northeastern North America. It occurs throughout the eastern Canadian boreal forests. With the increasing prevalence of diabetic population, there arises a need for research into more efficacious alternatives. The studies on edible plants which have a hypoglycemic effect would be of great value in the management of diabetes. The expected outcomes include: (i)Publication of our research work in reputable journals (ii) Presentation of our new research findings to an international audience (iii) Development of a new drug which is less expensive with minimal side effects.

CNC Based CO2 Foams Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Post-CHOPS Reservoirs

We have looked into the CSI problem as a two-phase problem in a heterogeneous (matrix, wormhole) porous medium. If the solvent is a light hydrocarbon, this is fine. However, especially with CO2 and DME, mass transfer to and from the aqueous phase is substantial. In this project, we take advantage of our extensive experience in mass transfer operations, heavy oil EOR, core flooding capabilities, visualization and foam research and development to tackle the problem of post – CHOPS recovery in heavy oil reservoirs with active water aquifers.
• The main objective of this project is to generate a viable low-cost solvent process for post-chops and or CSI operations.
• The second objective is to divert the solvent cocktail to the desired place in the reservoir.
• The third objective is to extend the CSI process and its derivatives to reservoirs with active water aquifers.

Vitamin D supplementation to improve laying hen robustness, longevity, and egg quality

This partnership aims to improve the robustness of laying hens to better cope with nutritional, immune, and environmental stresses and thus improve their productivity and longevity in a context of lengthening of laying cycles. Indeed, successfully keeping the laying hens to 100 weeks is no longer the exception and there is a tendency for extending the laying hens cycle of commercial flocks to reach 500 eggs per cycle. The long-life laying hen are expecting helping saving costs in production, create additional value and profit, improve the welfare of the chicken, and reduce the environmental impact of egg production. However, the main reason to deplete a flock is not often related to the persistency in egg production, but because of eggshell quality that gradually goes down with age. Poor quality eggs, and especially weaker shells, can increase the costs of egg packing and customer complaints. This is probably the result of the osteoporosis that occurs with ageing that may lead to both welfare issues and financial losses. Recent results have showed an increase expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) and a decreased plasma levels of 1.25(OH)2D3, the active form of vitamin D, with ageing (Gloux).
