Log Analysis of Cyber Physical Systems

Dealing with Cyber Physical Systems, this project takes two directions:
First, system engineers at Auxon (our industrial partner) are interested in understanding the reason(s) why the system fails and, more precisely, why its behavior deviates from previously observed one(s), showing anomalies. Furthermore, to help Auxon diagnose the problem, we also provide them with root cause(s) of the anomalous behaviors of the system. We are then interested in i) developing an effective and scalable sequential anomaly detection procedure and ii) designing an effective and scalable anomaly diagnosis approach.
Second, Auxon is interested in knowing the exact conditions under which a complex component (e.g., Machine Learning Component MLC) contributes to system failure(s). We then develop an effective and efficient automated approach to identify such conditions, considering the black-box nature of MLCs and addressing the interactions among the components of the system, which might cause system failure(s) regardless of whether component(s) have failed.

Machine Learning Tools Development and Tool Stack Software Development for Custom Instrumar Fiber Sensor

Instrumar Limited’s core technology platform, used in both industrial and aerospace industries, is based on the measurement of electrical properties of materials that come in contact with its sensor. The sensors sample data in real time and provide feedback based on parameters that are determined through extensive testing. Instrumar receives terabytes of data from its installations worldwide. Our goal is to turn this unprocessed high volume data into value added information.
Instrumar’s legacy software cannot meet the increased need for efficient analysis and knowledge attraction from the data. We have been moving towards using the latest data analytics and data science techniques but do not have the tools needed for this work. These tools will help our customers to make informed decisions on problems that we can help them uncover.
This project will enable us to better benefit from using modern tools to find value from our sensor data in a less labor intensive and more scalable way which is instrumental in supporting our growth. Fueling success also helps us to attract more data scientists and software engineers from an increasingly competitive market.
Instrumar is also now competing with other companies who can pull in data from other sensors and be

Next-generation preclinical development andassessment of engraftment efficiency of Sernova’s Cell Pouch System™ in clinical islet transplantation

This fellowship will develop next generation Cell Pouch™ technology, through testing novel animal study (anti-cell death agents, insulin-producing mouse stem cells and islet health (metabolic engraftment efficiency) in parallel to a safety and efficacy (Phase I/II) clinical study of the Cell Pouch™ in Type 1 diabetic in which an in vitro measure of islet health will be correlated to in vivo graft function. The Cell Pouch System™ is a patented non-degradable polymer medical device which unobtrusively fits under the skin, rapidly incorporating with tissue and small blood vessels to form a natural environment for the long-term survival of therapeutic cells including insulin-producing islets to provide a tight feedback system allowing insulin release for glucose control in diabetes. The scalable Cell Pouch™ has undergone successful initial animal studies, initial concept testing and has been manufactured for small and large animal and human clinical evaluation. This fellowship will continue testing new generations of the Cell Pouch™, which will ultimately improve the efficacy of clinical islet transplantation.

Fed the same way? Exploring the influence of breastfeeding, weaning and childhood diet on the sex ratio of Medieval Tuscany (Italy)

In my doctoral research project, I will analyse infant and childhood feeding practices from three different medieval Italian sites (11th-14th centuries AD). These collections are housed at the University of Pisa where I propose to do my field work. The aim of my research is to test the hypothesis that gendered feeding patterns existed, which contributed to the shortage of women in medieval Europe that historical and archaeological records seem to support. The analysis of breastfeeding and weaning patterns will be conducted using incremental sampling of tooth dentine, a recent technique that cuts a tooth in to multiple samples (increments), where each increment corresponds to a specific developmental period during childhood. Each of these increment will then be analysed to determine the ratios of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, which can be used to infer diet. The fluctuations of these values allows us to detect feeding strategies and their duration. My doctoral research, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Pisa, will contribute to a better understanding of medieval infant feeding practices and their role in the reported unbalanced sex ratio in medieval Italy and the rest of Europe.

Good Food Club Programming Assistant Coordinator

The West Broadway Good Food Club (GFC) was born from the recognition that food security and adequate access to nutritious, affordable, and delicious food is not only a major social determinant of health, but also a fundamental human need. Since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, the GFC has had to pivot some of their services, and has been forced to contend with some unprecedented challenges. The two projects I will be working on with support from the GFC team—the West Broadway Farmer’s Market and the GFC’s Virtual Garden Party—will ensure that this valuable organization can continue to serve their community in a safe, efficient, and thoughtful manner. The West Broadway Farmer’s Market builds strong networks of social and organizational relationships between both program employees, volunteers, and community members; facilitates the pick-up and delivery of fresh, healthful foods to community members; raises public awareness of the benefits of GFC membership to a wider audience of potential members; and ensures public safety is a priority as the covid-19 pandemic situation shifts and/or evolves. The Virtual Garden Party program delivers free gardening kits and capacity building virtual programming to community members on a variety of subjects from basic first-aid to cooking and

Development of test strips for early identification of buddy maple syrup

Near the end of every maple syrup harvest season, the syrup can acquire an unpalatable off-flavour called ?buddy?. Buddy flavor cannot be detected in the maple sap prior to processing into syrup, often resulting in loss of income, and unnecessary cost in materials to produce the syrup. This proposal seeks to develop a low-cost field test to be used by maple syrup producers for the detection of compounds that are linked to the development of the buddy flavor. This will be accomplished by developing special receptors, known as aptamers, for these compounds. These aptamers will be incorporated into a lateral flow assay (dipstick test) that would allow for quick identification of the compounds in sap. The development of inexpensive on-site tests that can be used by maple syrup producers to determine if the sap should be processed or not, represents a direct economic benefit to this industry.

ArtsJunktion Environmental Impact Study & ReCreation Station Development

ArtsJunktion MB Inc. is a Winnipeg based charitable organization who inspires creativity through their take-what-you-need, pay-what-you-can materials depot and creation workspace that supports accessibility and diversity. ArtsJunktion is dedicated to environmental consciousness and reducing landfill waste by focusing on community awareness programing and repurposing materials received from local community members, businesses, and organizations. Late last year, ArtsJunktion acquired two pieces of equipment from Precious Plastics – a shredder and an injector. This equipment will allow for the creation of multi-use products from single use plastics that are not accepted by recycling programs. Being the only organization in Manitoba and one of a few in Canada that have this equipment, ArtsJunktion is blazing a trail with their new ReCreation Station. This internship project looks to develop a standard operating procedure manual and materials to educate the community on this new creative equipment and assist in further development of the ReCreation Station department. As ArtsJucktion is an environmentally aware organization and desires to reduce landfill waste, this internship project will also look at the impact that the organization is having on diverting materials.

Chemical diversity in the gut microbiota of pregnant and lactating women from Antioquia-Colombia: Nutritional metabolomics for biomarker discovery

To date, gut microbiome populations have been associated only with not beneficial choline metabolism, like those related to trimethylamine N-oxide formation. But in this research, it is hypothesized that other mechanisms must be involved in the fates of free choline released from dietary sources. To explore these microbial communities associated to beneficial choline metabolism rendering acetylcholine, betaine, and phosphatidylcholine, with the goal of using this knowledge to combat undernutrition problems during pregnancy and lactation, where choline plays an essential role. This project aims to make the first approach towards the ecological and chemical characterization of the gut microbiota of mothers from Antioquia, Colombia. We propose to apply state-of-the-art metabolomic technologies and data analysis tools developed in the Dr. Britz-Mckibin lab in order to identify a panel of stool derived metabolite signatures associated with a beneficial choline metabolism. This work will discover novel biomarkers for assessing adequate choline intake and maternal and childhood nutritional status. Furthermore, this study aims to determine if there may be a possibility of gut microbiome’s modulation towards the distribution of taxonomic groups that benefit choline metabolism in women during pregnancy and lactation.

Solar Open Access Resource: SOAR – Snow and PV system reliability

There is a large interest in the more accurate snow loss estimates for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as large-scale deployments move into northern latitudes. There have been many studies on different types of PV systems and different types of modules. Preliminary results show bifacial modules may clear snow faster than monofacial PV. This study will start with a literature review of all losses (and gains) from snow on PV. It will complete an in-depth analysis of snow losses to provide guidance for PV system installers in the north. The results will be presented to the PV technical community in a freely accessible knowledge base.
