Knowledge Modeling and Product Development for Canadian Indoor Hydroponic Farming

Urban population is facing unprecedented growth resulting in the need for additional agricultural resources. Traditional farming practices seem vulnerable to cater to urbanities’ needs, placing an additional burden on the food and agriculture system. Furthermore, the unsettling environmental impact of traditional farming practices has aroused the metropolitan population to search for alternatives, such as indoor urban agriculture and vertical plant systems. This study aims to address the key issues faced by the Canadian urban population to generate knowledge for indoor hydroponic systems. Using existing and inferred knowledge from literature and through expert interviews, this research tries to provide a knowledge base for developing indoor hydroponic farming in a Canadian context. Emphasis will be laid on seed selection, growing inputs, and parameters to make indoor hydroponic farming accessible to common individuals and encourage more urbanites to successfully grow their favourite plants for fun and well-being all year round.

Statistical and Ethical Implications of Pimavanserin Drug Trials Published with Unexplained or Missing Datasets on Parkinson’s Disease

This project looks to examine the safety of the medication Pimavanserin, marketed under the brand name Nuplazid. Pimavanserin is prescribed to manage Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis, a common side effect of Parkinson Disease medications. This medication has already received regulatory approval in the United Stated by the Food and Drug Administration under a special program called the “Breakthrough therapy program”. Although it initially showed promising results, concerns have been raised regarding its safety and efficacy. As such, this study will look to examine the original clinical trials that served as an evidence source for its regulatory approval, with particular attention paid on the statistical methods used to compensate for missing data. The ultimate goal is to provide Health Canada and the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health with more evidence to determine if this medication is safe and effective for patients with Parkinson’s Disease here in Canada.

Automated code fix suggestions based on source code syntax tree analysis

AMD manages a very large code base that supports multiple graphics products, operating systems, and customers with multiple releases per year. With a high rate of innovation and corresponding code changes it is a daunting task to ensure a given change works correctly on all applicable configurations for every release. It is therefore imperative to detect potential issues as soon as possible in development lifecycle, and ideally as soon as developers make code changes and where possible also propose a fix for detected issues.

Autonomous Navigation for Small UAV in Indoor GPS-denied Environments

With the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in recent years, more and more researchers are setting their sights on the application research of the indoor environment. Indoor applications include industrial facility inspection, warehouse inventory management, health sector, search, and rescue, among others. However, the use of UAVs in these applications requires continuous high-accuracy positioning and pose information and the consequent efficient obstacle avoidance algorithm. To address the above problem, we want to design an algorithm that can:
1. Perceive the surrounding environment.
2. Control attitude and position of UAVs.
3. Navigate UAV through obstacles.
4. Account for the changes in the dynamic environment and remain stable.

Real-time Bidding Using Contextual Targeting

Ads keep the internet free. But, to keep them from becoming spam and degrading the user’s online experience, they need to be relevant to them. The traditional way the industry does this is by collecting a lot of information about every user and creating profiles that can be used to target users based on their online journey. However, users have different tolerances for how much information they want collected about them by any website/app. In general, the problem the industry needs to solve is to make sure the ads shown to users are relevant even in the absence of any user profile. This is the problem the intern is going to tackle. In this research, an End-to-End project will be built to create a contextual targeting proof of concept for mobile and desktop websites. Industry standard metrics such as click-through rate will be used to get an understanding of whether contextual targeting works.

Modélisation et optimisation du BIPV/T sur toit avec pompe à chaleur à air

Incorporating the Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) into Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPV/T) system has the potential to reduce building heating and cooling costs and dependence on non-renewable heating fuels. ASHPs could boost the quality and quantity of heat output of a BIPV/T system by delivering a seasonal Coefficient of Performance (COP) of between 2.0 and 4.0, which means 2-4 times more energy output than the amount of energy (electricity) consumed.
When used in Canada’s cold climates, however, ASHPs alone have been found to underperform at low temperatures due to the scarcity of heat that may be pumped out of the atmosphere. One solution to this is ASHP which can provide a higher COP at very low winter outdoor temperatures. The incorporation of PV/T + ASHP into building integrated sloped roof, solutions in existing residential and commercial buildings will furthermore have the potential to lower overall costs of such systems, significantly reduce GHG emissions and provide significant economic and other benefits for Canada in general and for southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in particular.

Optimisation de l’aquaculture multitrophique en milieu tropical par l’intégration de la macroalgue Ulva lactuca dans la moulée du poisson marin Pompano de Floride (Trachinotus carolinus)

Les protéines dans les farines et huiles de poissons représentent l’élément le plus dispendieux des moulées commerciales. Son remplacement par une protéine végétale provenant de macroalgues produites dans les eaux de rejets piscicoles diminuerait les coûts associés à la production aquacole tout en réduisant les impacts environnementaux. Les Ulves, comme Ulva lactuca, ont été largement évaluées comme substitut alimentaire. Dans ce projet, nous remplacerons la farine de poissons par de l’Ulva (substitution de 25 %) et évaluerons les effets sur le rendement reproductif du Pompano de Floride, un poisson marin tropical commercialement prometteur. Les géniteurs seront nourris avec la moulée à base d’Ulva, produite dans le système AMTI (Aquaculture Multitrophique Intégrée), puis avec une moulée commerciale (Vitalis), pour comparer la qualité des œufs, à la base d’un bon développement larvaire, entre les 2 régimes. L’ajout d’Ulva dans la moulée du Pompano se refléterait par un rendement similaire ou supérieur à la moulée Vitalis.

Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Lightweight Self-Consolidating Concrete Columns Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars and Spirals under Axial and Eccentric Loads

One of the main interests of the construction industry is the use of innovative materials to facilitate construction, extend service life and minimize maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Lightweight aggregate self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) can be of great interest for reducing dead loads, section dimensions and project costs, especially for precast elements. Integrating GFRP reinforcement into LWSCC would effectively contribute to producing lighter and more durable concrete members for precast applications. Lightweight concrete is more brittle than normal-weight concrete (NWC). Furthermore, the brittleness of concrete may affect not only the failure mode but also the axial capacity of concrete columns. Adding fiber into LWSCC is an effective way to solve the brittleness of concrete and improve the tensile strength and crack resistance of concrete. This research project aims to develop fiber-reinforced lightweight aggregate self-consolidating concrete (FR-LWSCC) mixes for precast applications
and to provide an experimental work as well as extensive theoretical analysis and design recommendations of RC columns reinforced with FRP bars. The experimental results will be discussed in terms of moment–deflection behavior, flexural capacity, mode of failure, crack patterns, and crack widths.

Neural Networks for Observable Market Data Validation

Observable Market Data is critical for effective valuation of trades for risk management purposes within the investment bank. The valuation process requires the existence of good quality data day by day, and dating back into the mid-2000’s. Not all assets have highly liquid data available either historically or at present, and there is significant interest within the industry in building models to both predict missing data and qualify available data. Historically this process has been highly manual, and due to the volume of data statistical methods are used to identify potentially suspect data. The use of these simplistic methods to gate incoming data results in known blind spots and false positives. This project seeks to use deep neural networks to tackle these two tasks : 1) flagging suspect data efficiently, 2) generating quality data that can be used to improve modeling where real data is unavailable.
