Model predictive controller and monitoring systems for Marine Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS)

For marine autonomous surface ships (MASS), a more acceptable operation is ‘constrained autonomous operation’ where the ship operates fully autonomously. Most of the existing systems have strictly defined operational constraints or limited available decision spaces; therefore, autonomous decisions are only allowed for some predefined scenarios. However, marine environment is dynamic; the environmental disturbances (wind, wave, current, ice), surrounding obstacles (ship, ice) can change quickly. In this project, we plan to develop an on-board navigation system using non-linear model predictive controllers (NMPCs) which will incorporate the path planning, collision avoidance, and tracking of the defined path and can deal with rapidly changing dynamic conditions in the sea. This cutting-edge research will help place Canada at the forefront of Marine Autonomous Surface Ship research. Our plan is to collaborate with various Canadian Marine Automation Vendors (e.g. Fleetway, Rockwell Automation, Siemens), Coast Guard etc. to fully harness the benefit of the proposed solution and improve the Canadian shipping industry in general.

Converting Fisheries Waste into a Sustainable Adsorbent for Arsenic Removal from Drinking Water

Arsenic (As) levels exceeding the acceptable level (10 ?g/L) in drinking water are detected in private, public, and school wells in many of Newfoundland’s small and remote communities. These wells are the main or sole sources of drinking water. This project aims to develop a sustainable solution to remove As from drinking water by diverting renewable fisheries waste from the landfill to manufacture an environmentally friendly adsorbent.

Seasonal Habitat Use and Sources of Environmental Stress of Fish in an Urbanized Coastal Inlet (the Port Moody Arm)

Burrard Inlet’s marine environment has been impacted by industrial and commercial activities and residential development for many decades. These coastlines provide critical habitat for various fish species. Port Moody Arm is one sub-basin of Burrard Inlet which has particular importance for Pacific salmon and forage fish. Industrial activity and development patterns in this area have changed in recent years. This project aims to collect data on fish populations and water quality conditions to compare against historic data and help determine current conditions. The results will benefit the City of Port Moody in many ways, including stakeholder collaboration, park outreach, and helping identify marine habitat restoration opportunities.

The Spill Management and Response Tactics (SMART) toolbox for marine oil spill accidents

The Spill Management and Response Toolbox (SMART) can provide decision-makers and stakeholders with effective contingency planning by combining their expertise from multiple concerns such as response time, operational cost, or environmental impacts. The SMART system is designed to expedite the preparation phase, initiate response operations as soon as possible, reduce the workload and stress for decision-makers and stockholders in emergency planning and tactical meetings, and give on-site operators a clear understanding of their tasks. For example, field operators clearly know what to be picked up to ship A and B, and the detailed steps to follow once they arrive at the accident site. Reduced workload, less stress, and clear planning can help most people focus on just one or two tasks. Focused outbreaks can greatly reduce human errors and failures and reduce the system risks for a safe response. The toolbox has great potential as a product for customers in the government, industry, and academia.

Blood single-cell RNA profiling of interstitial lung diseases

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are debilitating disorders that cause patients to slowly lose their lung function, resulting in shortness of breath, limited capacity for movement, and subsequent death. Over 15,000 Canadians currently suffer from some form of ILD, yet not all of them receive proper therapy, partly due to difficulties in identifying the precise ILD subtype. This is especially problematic for patients with a specific form of ILD called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), as effective drug treatments for other subtypes of ILD can worsen outcomes for patients with IPF. Unfortunately, diagnosing ILDs is difficult due to frequently nonspecific test results – patients currently experience up to a 55% rate of misdiagnosis. To address the need for better ILD diagnosis, the goal of this project is to identify cellular markers that are able to accurately identify specific subtypes of ILD.

Testing species range limits using remote sensing techniques

Many species on earth are experiencing changes in their geographic distributions as climate change progresses. Ecologists don’t fully understand what limits or promotes a species ability to move in response to global change- factors such as temperature, interactions with other species, and population genetics can all play a role. I am interested in exploring how the availability of habitat might determine how far species can move beyond their current distributions. I am also interesting in how we can use remote sensing (drone) data to ask these types of ecological questions on large spatial scales. During this project, I will be collecting information about habitat availability for an annual plant in the Rocky Mountains using a drone and comparing this data to on-the-ground surveys of the same species to determine how accurately remote sensing data can evaluate habitat availability for a species.

Development of novel aquafeed made by two microbial oil sources as a sustainable high DHA and EPA contributors to improve stress resistance in freshwater aquaculture

Aquafeed is supplemented with essential fatty acids derived from fish products (fishmeal and fish oil). However, fish oil production is dropping due to rapidly depleting wild resources. Therefore, the aquafeed industry must move to other sources of essential fatty acids, such as oils from terrestrial origins [3]. When more than 80% of fish oil in aquafeed is substituted with terrestrial-derived oils, fish growth parameters are affected [4,5]. Supplementing aquafeed with 0.4% DHA and EPA from two different microbial oil sources offers a promising sustainable solution to replace fish oil in aquafeed and increase the immune status of fish. This novel aquafeed supplement will enable farmed fish to withstand environmental stressors common to farming conditions, leading to improved survival rates. Sustainable aquafeed production is essential to meet the growing needs of the aquaculture industry. To explore production possibilities, we will test for uniformity, feed stability, shelf life, water stability, and acceptability of the novel aquafeed formulation.

Helping Newcomers and other Disadvantaged Groups to Develop Social Enterprises in Newfoundland and Labrador

The goals of this partnership are to study the barriers and challenges faced by underrepresented groups (such as recent immigrants, women, people with disability and francophones) establishing their businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador. This study will provide an informative framework that several groups can benefit from. From that goal, many other beneficial actions can occur which may strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador into becoming a powerful migration destination and may alleviate many troubling trends that the province is currently experiencing. The results of this study will help understand the needs of underrepresented groups in the Newfoundland and Labrador labour market, which will provide a reference for the partner organization’s employment support programs for newcomers, employers and entrepreneurs. This, in turn, will lead to the province’s becoming a more inclusive and diverse area.

Conversion of underutilized sea cucumber by-product (flower) to nutrient supplements

The most common sea cucumber (SC) found in the North Atlantic Ocean is orange footed Cucumaria frondosa. SC is packed with numerous high-value nutraceutical and pharmaceutical components. During SC processing, flowers are separated as by-products representing around 8-10% of the live weight and sold at a very low price. These by-products are rich sources of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and biologically active compounds that may benefit overall health by combating several infectious and degenerative diseases. Therefore, the proposed project will develop nutritional supplements from SC flowers. This study will allow better utilization of SC, extend SC market and improves the NL economy by creating new opportunities.

Development of a Dental Temporary Staff Scheduling System

Aspiring Ingenuity Inc. is a Canadian staffing company established in ….. . They provide temporary dental care staffing solutions for dental clinics in Toronto. They are currently facing challenges with their existing software and tools in assigning employees for services based on different requirements, provide relevant information such as time, address, and special instructions. Schedule repeating shifts, send reminders and get real-time shift status notifications. As the company grows with increasing number of clients (dental clinics and services) and growing number of temporary staff and new job applicants, the company find the development of a new web application to manage these diverse activities a top priority. So the company will Collaborate with Wearable, Interactive, and Mobile Technologies Access Centre in Health (WIMTACH) to develop a stand alone staffing management solution that allows dental practices to connect with and hire temporary dental staff quickly and easily. The proposed application will allow dental practices to post shifts (date, hours, and type of staff) of temporary staff that they require. These posted shifts will be sent as email notifications to qualified temporary dental staff members, and those who wish to accept the shift can do so with a “click of a button”. The dental practice will then accept one of the applicants, and the accepted temporary staff will show-up and complete their shift.
