Advanced Adaptivity and Personalization in Learning Systems through Collaborative Recommendations

Learning Systems are among the most popular e-learning tools in today’s education and training. Most e-Learning systems do not take into account individual aspects of learners (e.g., their goal, experiences, existing knowledge, learning style etc.).The primary goal of the proposed research is to offer rich adaptivity by combining information from a learner’s profile (e.g. levels, goals, learning style, cognitive abilities etc) with the information from other learners sharing common interests. Based on this combined information, advanced personalized recommendations can be provided, increasing efficiency, performance and learner’s satisfaction. The proposed research will have numerous benefits to the company: (1) Training and learning would become more accessible, to the benefit of employees in small to large -scale enterprises as it will offer unique learning experiences that fully engage and support users (2) It will help in improving and increasing the basic skills of employees, providing the organization with a competitive advantage and hence, will be used to build workforce capability

Structural performance of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete tilt-up wall panels under out-of-plane loads

Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) materials have emerged as a promising material in civil engineering applications due to their superior characteristics such as light weight, high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Thanks to these features, GFRP bars have been used in many civil infrastructure applications. However, there are still opportunities to benefit from this innovative material. Using tilt-up wall panel method in construction of houses, and commercial and industrial buildings is a popular alternative to cast-in-place, precast, or masonry construction methods. Tilt-up wall panels are conventionally reinforced with steel bars, which are susceptible to corrosion. Thus, GFRP bars have great potential to be a sustainable alternative reinforcement. The superior characteristics of GFRP materials would extend the life cycle of tilt-up walls and reduce the related construction and repair costs. Despite these advantages, there are no relevant design equations and recommendations in FRP reinforced concrete design codes and guidelines. Thus, this study will provide a unique set of data and will introduce new design formulations and recommendations for GFRP reinforced concrete tilt-up wall panels. The results would allow owners, engineers and contractors to benefit from GFRP bars as internal reinforcement in tilt-up walls to be safe under vertical and lateral loads.

Optimization of Low-Cost, Low-Power Irrigation Control System Design

The project will be done in the context of a collaborative project between Prof. Jorg Liebeherr (UofT) and Prof. Maryam Shojaei Baghini (IIT Bombay) on designing a low-cost, low-power irrigation control system, which seeks to address poverty and rural development in India. IIT Bombay has developed a sensor system, called Soilsens, for measuring soil conditions on farms. The current Soilsens stations use cellular networks for data transmissions, which incur high recurring cost and high energy consumption. The joint project seeks to develop a low-cost low-power communication system for Soilsens, which adopts LoRa based wireless radios for data transmissions. The communication system is based on a self-organizing communication protocol, which is developed at UofT using LoRa technology. The system will reduce power requirements by having only one cellular station for 10-20 Soilsens stations. The Globalink project seeks to optimize parameters of the CottonCandy protocol for a deployment in large-scale irrigation systems.

Financial Analyst

The main goal of the project is to design and implement a new and improved financial and technical analysis strategy that would use historical trading protocols of the past 20 years. This would be done by researching how the knowledge of the operators can be codefide, automated, and integrated into the current technology platforms being used. Strategies and applications will be tested in a live environment where the outcome of the research and work will be assessed. The technology that will be used for the codification of the analysis and trading methodologies are APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).

Opikihiwawin

New Directions, Opikihiwawin mission is to provide cultural education, support and advocacy to indigenous adoptees, and people. The pandemic as well as a fire in their building has caused engagement to decrease. I think that this project will help Opikihiwawin by increasing their attendance, getting more people engaged and bringing back cultural support. The organization’s participants would benefit from the assistance with the virtual venue development and the student’s development of a follow-up/engagement strategy that can be used regularly in the future by staff or volunteers.

A Supply Chain Traceability System for Seafood Distribution

In this project, we are going to design blockchain networks and design an interaction between IoT devices. In this way, we can update the location of tokenized asset which is our food product in this project. Blockchain network can provide traceability and transparency, so we decided to use blockchain because of these features. The partner organization goal is to provide the seafood customers with a suitable source by which they can check whether the product is mislabeled. This project will help the organization to get close to its goal which can increase the Canadians’ awareness about healthy and authenticated seafood products.

Regulation of T-type calcium channel activity by targeting channel trafficking – a novel approach for pain management

Current therapies to manage pain either result in side effects or are insufficient and the associated medical costs and loss of work days come pose a tremendous socioeconomic burden. We recently showed that T-type channel activity is aberrantly regulated in inflammatory and neuropathic pain by the deubiquitinase USP5, and we have begun to explore this mechanism as a new therapeutic avenue based on interfering TAT peptides. We now plan to test our TATpeptides in diabetic neuropathy and inflammatory bowel pain. We also plan to generate additional TAT peptides to enhance efficacy in vivo and validate them at the cellular and whole animal level. Compared with ion channel blockers which often lack specificity, our approach specifically targets a process that is involved in aberrant upregulation of channel activity, while sparing normal channel function, thus reducing the risk of adverse side effects.

Calibrage de modèles de simulation dynamique de procédés minéralurgiques

Les batteries lithium-ion sont du matériel de grande valeur à recycler. Elles ont des métaux critiques très attractifs actuellement. Le graphite en particulier occupe une place centrale dans cette démarche visant à appuyer la transition énergétique. La fabrication des batteries pour stocker les énergies propres repose en effet sur ce matériau qui entre dans la composition des anodes. C’est dans ce contexte que Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) développe le projet minier Matawinie qui entrera en production en 2024.
La simulation phénoménologique consiste à utiliser des modèles mathématiques intégrés dans un environnement permettant leur exécution selon une séquence appropriée pour reproduire le comportement et les performances de l’usine. La réconciliation des données expérimentales brutes permettra de rendre celle-ci cohérentes avec les équations de conservation de la matière.

AI for Mental Health: Developing tools to help clinicians streamline treatment for mental health difficulties

AIMH (AI for Mental Health) is a start-up that uses AI methods to support mental health. We have developed the prototype of a platform that can be used as a decision support tool, in clinical practice of childhood psychiatric disorders. Our initial focus is ADHD (Attention-deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder). Core of this technology is the combination of machine learning with knowledge of underlying biological processes. The developed methodology facilitates a closer collaboration between families and mental health professionals to provide improved personalized care for the individual. The internship will provide support for the development of tools to help clinicians treat mental health difficulties. More precisely, the objective of the internship is to refine both the interface and the models that power the platform.

Étude de dépôt de couches minces sur bois assisté par Plasma.

Le projet porte sur le développement d’un procédé de dépôt de couches minces sur le bois et ces dérivés (contre-plaqué, etc) par l’utilisation d’un réacteur PE-CVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition).
Le dépôt recherché aura pour rôle d’ignifugier et de ralentir la combustion du bois.
L’étude s’orientera sur le comportement du réacteur de dépôt, sur ces caractéristiques physiques et techniques.
Elle portera aussi sur la manière dont le précurseur chimique employé dans le dépôt se comporte au sein du réacteur, quelle sera sa cinétique chimique.
Enfin il sera étudié la façon dont le substrat bois modifie la dynamique du réacteur et inversement comment il est impacté par le processus (notamment l’impact thermique, principale limitant).
Ce travail s’effectuera par des recherches bibliographiques, théoriques et par l’analyse d’échantillons à travers une étude paramétrique.
A terme il est attendu d’obtenir des dépôts, dans un premier temps sur silicium, puis sur bois, et d’établir des relations entre les propriétés de ces revêtements et les paramètres du réacteur.
