Development of a Document AI algorithm for large-scale data capture

To guarantee progress and adherence to the Dreven platform the company must solve a major issue to which no
traditional solutions tested have provided reliable and efficient answers. This issue is linked to the complexity and
diversity of information exchanges that Dreeven must use for different reasons. To be efficient, the Dreeven platform
must be more intuitive (automated), which requires the use of more advanced AI techniques. However, the nature of
the information (digital vs digitized) causes multiple challenges for the techniques used in AI. We believe it is possible
to frame these issues through the use of the field of document AI.

On the Optimization of UAV-enabled Task Offloading Services

Given the high mobility and flexible deployment of UAVs, this technology has evolved as a key enabler of several applications such as aerial cargo delivery and precision agriculture. However, with the advancement of its payload, including storage and computing capabilities, UAVs can handle critical services such as road traffic monitoring, accident prediction, and vehicular traffic/task offloading. Specifically, the edge computing-enabled UAVs can support critical intelligent transportation services (ITS) in both remote areas and traffic jammed events. However, how to efficiently offload task to the UAVs with respect to the latter’s intrinsic characteristics, is an under-investigated problem. In this project, we aim to develop novel and intelligent (machine-learning based) energy-efficient task offloading strategies, to maximize the rate of satisfied tasks while saving the UAVs’ energy. The outcome of this work will stimulate the development of UAV-enabled industrial platforms dedicated to ITS and broadly to public safety services.

An Intersectional Analysis of the Impacts of Precarious Public Sector Employment on Women

This research project will examine how precarious work conditions (e.g., casual, temporary, contract-based, and normally poorly paid work) impact women workers, particularly those who are historically marginalized, including racialized women, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, and GLBTTQ women. It will also examine the impacts of precarious employment on women as users of public programs and services. This research is important for the Canadian Labour Congress because it will help them better understand the wide range of experiences that workers in Canada face. It will also provide them with clear language summaries and explanations of the research findings that can subsequently be used in efforts to educate people about the impacts of precarious employment on our economy and our society more broadly.

Effects of post-COVID-19 on the integrated dynamic autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and skeletal muscle oxygenation regulation during acute exercise

This proposal focuses on determining whether post-COVID-19 and sex influence the integrative dynamic
autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle oxygenation regulation during postural transitions and acute
exercise. COVID-19 is considered an inflammatory storm affecting many physiological systems, especially older
adults. COVID-19 may impact these dynamic integrative responses, compromising homeostatic regulation, rapid
physiological adjustments, and exercise capacity. It may cause further degradation of biological and functional
reserves to tolerate stressors, increasing susceptibility to adverse health outcomes. COVID-19 is taking millions of
lives and dollars, having a tremendous impact on families, healthcare, the economy and society. Currently, research
has been focusing on the direct effects of COVID-19. However, little is known about this pandemic’s broader and
lifelong impact on the dynamic integrative autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular systems regulation.
This research proposal is critical because it will inform whether post-COVID-19 alters female and male older adults’
autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle oxygenation responses. It will also be critical to develop
rehabilitative treatment/intervention strategies to minimize adverse health outcomes, promoting health, well-being,
and quality of life for females and males impacted by the pandemic.

A Collaborative Approach; Reimagining Caring

Living with a mental illness in Canada is complex and not well understood. The research question for this project is; when and how do people with a chronic mental illness feel cared for in palliative settings? This project will provide a unique opportunity for a student intern to partner with Health Cities, Mitacs and a research team from the UOA. The student intern will join the research team in a SSHRC funded project – Reimagining Caring. The project is an opportunity to work with researchers, clinicians (nurses) and people with a mental illness to understand more about the experience of care and caring from the perspective of patients and nurses. The project gives work integrated learning for students on social innovation practices with organizations like Health Cities in addition to the research methodology – collective narrative is an affirmative, trauma informed approach that uses storytelling to illuminate people’s lived experience and generate hope regarding the topic of concern – care and caring. This project will contribute new ways of thinking about care and caring. The codeveloped narratives will provide a unique learning opportunity to understand the experience of care and caring by people with a mental illness.

CRIAQ MANU-604 : Additive Manufacturing

Bombardier Aerospace, Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited and Pratt & Whitney Canada have all initiated projects on Additive Manufacturing processes. Although applications are different, all companies are facing the same challenges including the lack of a mature certification path and a mature Canadian supply chain. In order to accelerate the maturation of this technology, we are proposing the first Canadian industryled R&D program on additive manufacturing (AM). The end goal of the research project would be to reach to reach Technology and Manufacturing Readiness Level 3 on selected parts for primary and secondary aircraft/helicopter structures as well as aircraft engines and pave the way for usage in the production of parts for repair, retrofit or new products development. The expected benefits are: CO2 emissions reduction via weight reduction and cost reduction through part assemblies’ integration, lead time reduction, reduced buy-to-fly ratio, reduced inventory and optimized batch size.

How does social isolation impact rodent health, welfare and the validity of research results?

Mice and rats are commonly used in biomedical research to model human diseases. Usually, we house them in “shoebox-sized” cages in small same-sex groups. Since they are social species, we know having social contact is important for their well-being. For example, rodents will choose to spend time with other rodents rather than live alone, and when given a choice, rats will choose to spend time with another rat before eating. However, laboratory rodents are often housed on their own without contact with other rodents. When isolated, rodents show signs of chronic stress, such as increased fearfulness of human handlers. In humans, social isolation can be detrimental to health, elevating the risk of developing disease and leading to an earlier death. In this project, we aim to assess if similar effects occur in rodents. We hypothesize that isolation is so stressful to rodents that it negatively impacts their health. If so, we wonder if using isolated and stressed rodents is suitable for research: are these rodents truly good representations of humans that aren’t socially isolated? This project will shed light on the ethical concerns regarding the commonplace practice of isolating rodents and address whether improving rodent welfare can also improve science.
