Energy-Efficient Precast Concrete Wall and Floor Connections

Developing energy-efficient and durable floor and wall systems is critical to modern precast building construction, particularly with extreme weather conditions in Canada and the associated high costs of heating. This project addresses the structural performance of two components critical to energy efficiency of buildings as a result of their low thermal conductivity, namely double-wythe ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) walls and cantilevered balcony component of precast concrete floors. Both components incorporate a thermal insulation system, which is sandwiched between the two wythes of the walls, and incorporated as a thermal break at the junction between the balcony and the rest of the concrete floor. Outcomes of this study will assist the industrial partner in introducing and promoting novel precast concrete components that are thermally efficient and structurally sound, as well as establishing a design guide, which is expected to benefit the Canadian construction sector.

Selective metal separation from steel slags and municipal solid waste incinerator ash (MSWIA) by intensified solvent extraction and precipitation

This project tackles heavy metals removal from two end-of-life streams, notably steel slags (SS) and municipal solid waste (MSW). These slags could be valorized and used in cement and concrete materials after eliminating heavy metals and other toxic components. Intensified cost-effective processes have the potential to be green alternatives for extracting and precipitating heavy metals from steel slags and municipal solid waste incinerated ash (MSWIA), using less or no organic solvents saving time and energy, and improving extraction results over traditional separation methods. This research project focuses on valorizing two types of wastes; steel slags (basic oxygen furnace, BOF, electric arc furnace, EAF and Klockner Oxygen Blown Maxhutte process, KOBM) and MSWIA applying process intensification principles.

Setting of critical-metal bearing ores in the Betts Cove and Tilt Cove volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, Baie Verte, Newfoundland Appalachians

The green transition requires the sourcing of critical metals like copper, zinc, cobalt, and nickel for use in climate change mitigating technology. This internship will train one Masters-level student to study the geological setting and localization of these metals associated with ancient submarine volcanic rocks in the Tilt Cove and Betts Cove regions of the Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador. The work will be aimed at understanding the setting of critical metal ores, what metals are present, how they formed, and use various techniques ranging from field work looking at rocks in the field as well as subsurface core from previous drilling. The work will also involved advanced statistical analysis of the metals present in the mineralization to determine elemental abundances, their relationships, and how the various metals in the ore originated. The work will increase our understanding of the origin of critical metals in submarine volcanic-associated ore deposits and create potential tools that can increase our efficiency and ability to find further sources of these metals in similar settings in Canada and globally

Automotive Modular Real-time Edge Computing on Embedded Hardware

As vehicle systems become more advanced, accurate information about vehicle states, parameters, and surrounding operating conditions becomes paramount for vehicle health monitoring and driver control systems. This information is vital for the production, cost, and efficiency of the vehicles, as well as a key to improving passenger safety. In commercial vehicles, not all parameters of interest are directly measurable using sensors, because of sensor costs or design constraints. This research aims to bring developed estimation algorithms to embedded hardware for application to commercial vehicles.

Research and Design of In-Memory Database for Vehicles’ Telematics Based on IoT Big Data Environment

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data from over 2 million vehicles, we have an opportunity to make our customers safer, as well as our communities and cities. To reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents and the environmental factors involved. Thus, the data infrastructure should be capable of processing a series of real-time video and telematics data, as well as time-series historical records generated from existing machine learning models to respond to real-world incidents with low latency. However, data communication between the data warehouse and the models/applications is inefficient, an in-memory database is then considered to improve the data communication efficiency. Due to the nature of driving data that it is changing all the time, the structure of the database should be carefully designed and analyzed.

La qualité des emplois d’économie circulaire dans le contexte des entreprises d’économie sociale du Québec

Dans le cadre de l’e?tude sur les synergies entre e?conomie sociale et e?conomie circulaire, la question de l’emploi se pose ine?vitablement. En effet, la circularisation des chai?nes de valeur industrielles transforme le nombre et la nature des ro?les de ses acteurs. Toutefois, si la litte?rature s’accorde pour dire que cette mutation structurelle sera cre?atrice d’emplois, la question de leur qualite? se pose. Ainsi, ce projet s’interesse aux spe?cificite?s des emplois circulaires dans les entreprises d’e?conomie sociale en termes de bien-e?tre, de sante? et de se?curite?, de stabilite? et de de?sirabilite?, et de compe?tences. Il vise ultimement à identifier, comprendre et partager les bonnes pratiques liées à l’emploi dans les chaînes de valeur circulaires.

Using machine learning to allocate stratified care in an electronic cognitive behavioural therapy program for depression

Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet only one third of patients with depression receive care. This is because the traditional in-person format of mental health care delivery can be inaccessible, inefficient, and expensive. Electronic cognitive behavioural therapy (e-CBT) has been shown to be an effective solution to expand care access, efficiency, and affordability. Combining depression-based e-CBT with artificial intelligence, this study aims to develop an effective decision-making model that matches an individual’s needs with the right amount of care. Our goal at OPTT is to develop a platform that makes e-CBT more efficient and highly accessible to individuals facing mental health issues and this project will use artificial intelligence and tailored interventions to efficiently allocate mental health care resources. At a time when mental health challenges are on the rise due to the pandemic, this technique could scale up care capacity without sacrificing the quality of care.

Design and optimization of a solar-air heating system for window applications

The increased pressure of natural resource depletion and environmental issues have largely promoted the search of renewable energy sources such as solar energy. Solar energy can be converted to electric power through photovoltaics (PV), but this requires PV panels and the latter have efficiencies as low as 20%. An alternative way is solar heating systems that use air or fluid to transfer the heat energy from solar irradiation to the indoor environment with a much higher energy conversion efficiency (70%). However, current solar thermal applications have not yet targeted residential and commercial window applications -although these contribute to the largest portion of heat loss in buildings. Aiming at developing more energy-efficient solar-thermo products, Innovative North and University of Guelph are in partnership to develop a novel solar air heating system for window applications. In particular, the solar air heating system will be optimized regarding material selection, weight reduction, and manufacturability as well as integration with venting and control systems with maximized energy-efficiency and lower production cost. A systematic approach will be adopted for the design – that is, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing aspects of the design will be addressed by the proposed partnership. The proposed project will directly address
