Monocular 3D Object Reconstruction in Autonomous Driving

3D object reconstruction is a crucial task for autonomous driving. Many important fields in autonomous driving such as prediction, planning, and motion control generally require a faithful representation of the 3D space around the ego vehicle. Reliable and accurate 3D reconstruction with one RGB video alone in autonomous driving is the goal of this project. This project will present a reliable and accurate method for perspective projection reconstruction of rigid and non-rigid objects from single-view and realistic videos. This method will overcome all of the limitations arising from the usage of orthographic camera model and the complexity and non-linearity issues of the perspective projection equation. Unlike traditional structure-from-motion methods, which have been studied only on synthetic datasets and controlled lab environments that require some prior constraints or estimations (such as manually segmented objects, limited rotations and occlusions, and full-length trajectories); this method will be used in realistic video sequences.

Protein profiling of blood samples of patients with mild traumatic brain injury

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and sports-related concussion have complex and variable neuronal pathophysiology. Despite extensive attempts for discovery and identification of protein biomarkers in the blood of concussion patients, the success of proteins markers is limited due to the heterogeneity and complexity of concussion. There are still no reliable protein biomarkers that can accurately diagnose sport-related concussion and to distinguish complicated and uncomplicated concussion. This project aims to perform quantitative mass spectrometry-based protein profiling for the discovery of diagnostic protein biomarkers of complicated and uncomplicated concussion patients. The project will represent a significant advancement in the health and quality of the life of patients diagnosed with concussion. The outcome of this project including the discovery biomarkers and protocols of testing biosamples will benefit the partner by providing IPs to explore partnerships with molecular diagnostic players for developing point-of-care devices for rapid detection of one or multiple mTBI protein biomarkers.

Temporal Interference Stimulation in the Rhesus Macaque

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease, involving implanting an electrode deep into the brain. This procedure has a small but serious risk of complications such as hemorrhage and infection. However, a new stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, may circumvent these risks, and allow for non-invasive deep brain stimulation. Temporal interference stimulation can selectively target deep brain structures in the mouse, however whether it will work in larger animals is currently unknown. This project aims to test whether temporal interference stimulation will be able to activate deep brain structures in a larger animal that is more similar to humans. The findings will provide insights into whether temporal interference stimulation will be a feasible approach for deep brain stimulation in humans. The research findings and resulting articles from this research project will help PSSO with communicating results to the community and attract new donors.

Magnetic Modeling of B-Probes in Fusion Energy Devices

Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One method of monitoring a plasma is through measuring its magnetic field. Magnetic field probes need careful designs which allow them to measure the field accurately without getting exposed to the harsh environmental conditions of the plasma – nothing can be inserted directly into the plasma. This project investigates a new method of shielding probes from the plasma, by keeping them in the walls of the plasma-containment chamber. Using physics modelling software, this project investigates the effects of this positioning and will quantify how successful this approach is. With fusion being a rapidly growing industry, all advances in magnetic field measurement are greatly beneficial.

Démystifier les causes des fleurs d’eau observées sur trois lacs du parc des Grands-Jardins

Trois lacs du parc des Grands-Jardins montrent des fleurs d’eau (d’algues ou de cyanobactéries) récurrentes
depuis quelques années, signe d’une eutrophisation accélérée. L’eutrophisation et le réchauffement du climat, de
même que l’intensification de l’activité des castors, pourraient agir de concert et menacer l’habitat du poisson par
la hausse des températures et la réduction de la disponibilité en oxygène. Puisque ces lacs sont exploités pour
la pêche, une activité de haute importance pour les gestionnaires du parc, il est urgent de déterminer les causes
de ces fleurs d’eau et d’identifier si des mesures peuvent être prises pour ralentir ou inverser cette progression.
La diagnose limnologique des lacs se basera sur des visites bimensuelles durant la saison estivale où des profils
physicochimiques et une analyse de la flore seront effectués, en plus d’une récolte automatisée de données sur
la température et l’oxygène à l’aide d’un mouillage installé dans l’un des trois lacs.

A smart multi-level heat stress management and monitoring platform

Heat stress is a deadly occupational hazard that is projected to increase in severity with global warming. While upper limits for heat stress designed to protect all workers have been recommended by occupational safety institutes for some time, heat stress continues to compromise health and productivity. The continuing detrimental effects of heat stress may be partly explained by the inability of existing guidelines to consider individual factors (e.g., age, sex, health status, work duration) that can modify an individual’s tolerance to a given heat stress. To minimize the continuing detrimental effects of occupational heat stress on health and productivity, our proposed project is directed at developing an advanced heat management and monitoring platform that will provide an individualized approach to occupational heat stress management. Using a more target approach to monitor workers during work in the heat we can protect worker health and maximize productivity. Using simplified language understandable to a layperson, provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization.

Les autorités politico-juridiques au regard des demandeurs d’asile

Au fil des ans, les avocats et bénévoles étudiants du service d’aide juridique du Centre des Réfugiés/The Refugee Center ont constaté que, malgré une préparation rigoureuse, la manière dont les demandeurs au refuge perçoivent l’autorité influence leur récit narratif tout au long de leur demande d’asile au Canada. Des observations préliminaires démontrent que leur représentation du pouvoir altère leur accès à la justice. En effet, dans une tentative de satisfaire les représentants du pouvoir, les requérants à l’asile modifient leur version des faits en fonction de ce qu’ils pensent que leur interlocuteur souhaite entendre. L’objectif principal du projet est d’analyser le rapport des demandeurs d’asile à l’autorité afin de comprendre comment le climat politico-juridique du pays d’origine façonne leur discours. Les résultats de ce projet ethnographique serviront de prémisses à l’articulation de preuves jurisprudentielles, dans le but de démontrer l’impact concret des différences de perceptions de l’autorité sur le discours narratif du demandeur d’asile. De plus, cette recherche sera une contribution à l’anthropologie juridique puisqu’elle propose une analyse originale des défis liés à l’accès à la justice pour les candidats à l’asile.

Shear And Flexural Behavior of Lightweight Self-Consolidating Concrete I-Beams Reinforced with Glass- And Basalt-FRP Bars

Research is committed to developing innovative solutions to meet the demands of the construction industry in a scientific base. New engineering processes are established, through investigations and research, to improve quality, design and product cost. Integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars into lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) would effectively contribute to producing lighter and more durable reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This research addresses the feasibility of using FRP reinforcement in LWSCC I-beams taking into consideration the effect of fiber dosage in order to enhance the structural performance, time efficiency and optimised-cost. Full-scale precast LWSCC I-beams will be tested as simple beams to determine their flexural and shear capacity. The test parameters include the beam configuration, fiber dosage, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, type of reinforcement (Glass, Basalt FRP, and Steel bars) and type of concrete (LWSCC, fiber-reinforced LWSCC (FLWSCC), and normal weight concrete (NWC)). The experimental results will be discussed in terms of cracking behavior, the concrete strain, bar strain, crack width, curvature, deflection, flexural capacity, concrete shear strength, and mode of failure.

Business Transformation: Forest Firms

Business transformation involves firms changing their business models to pursue new opportunities. The ambitions of transformation are to enhance a firm’s competitiveness. Transformation is risky—literature highlights that transformation efforts often fail; reasons include firms not having the sufficient competencies or enough capital to carry the changes through. As Canadian forest sector firms look to new opportunities in the bio-economy, they must change their business models to successfully compete in these new segments. The research of Cohen and Nikolakis (2012) has identified 6 areas a forest firms must focus on to successfully transform. Each of these areas requires different levels of attention. The researchers have undertaken benchmarking of transformation in Northern European and North American forest firms against these six ‘gears of change’. The researchers will apply their 6 transformation enablers and empirical findings from their benchmarking survey to guide Conifex, as it transforms to compete in the bio-energy and bio-products sector.

Progressing the Minpraxis Test Device for Rock Strength Characterization

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that represents an improvement over existing methods. The test apparatus has the ability to generate data for larger sample sets than present methods and thereby represents a significant improvement.
