Water Quality, Waste-Solids Dewatering, and Seawater Filtration at a Zero-Exchange Recirculating Aquaculture Farm

Due to the depletion of natural fish stocks, the aquaculture industry must build larger land-based farms to meet the growing demand for seafood. Currently, the availability of clean, inland fresh water is limiting the size of farms so the only way the industry can expand these farms is by reducing the water exchange. Cooke Aquaculture Inc. is currently constructing a state of the art zero-exchange system to produce salmon smolts. This research project aims to improve the understanding of zero-exchange systems by exploring three areas which require further research. The water quality will be monitored throughout the new facility’s first production cycle to determine if metal ions or dissolved organic matter will accumulate to a harmful level. Additionally, a centrifuge along with different dosages of chemical and physical conditioners will be used to determine if a centrifuge can dewater aquaculture sludge more effectively than equipment currently used in the industry. Lastly, a membrane filtration system will be designed, and tested to determine if seawater can be effectively sterilized and desalinated so it can be used as a water source.

L’impact de la fondation d’Amphipolis sur l’économie d’Argilos (437-357 av. N.E.)

Argilos est une colonie grecque fondée vers 650 av. n.-è. près du fleuve Strymon dans le nord de la Grèce. Elle devient rapidement prospère en profitant d’un territoire riche en métaux précieux, des voies commerciales de l’Égée ainsi que des réseaux d’échanges thraces. En 437 av. n.-è., Les Athéniens, ayant déjà soumis Argilos à leur ligue de Délos dès 454 et envieux des richesses de sa région, fondent leur propre colonie sur le Strymon, Amphipolis. En 2012, l’équipe de la Mission Archéologique Gréco-Canadienne d’Argilos fait la découverte de premier «centre commercial» répertorié du monde grec, le bâtiment «L», d’une soixantaine de mètres et divisés en 12 boutiques. Les archéologues y ont identifié trois phases d’occupation dont la plus récente, datée de la fin du Ve siècle à 357 av. n.-è., est déjà bien étudiée. L’étude proposée vise à comprendre l’impact de la fondation d’Amphipolis sur l’économie d’Argilos en caractérisant la deuxième phase d’occupation du bâtiment «L», durant la majorité du Ve siècle et pré-datant la fondation d’Amphipolis, en vue d’obtenir des données comparables avec la phase d’occupation plus récente.

SDG Strategic Planning at the City of Peterborough

The purpose of this research is to help the City of Peterborough develop a framework for engaging with key stakeholders in the city to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Peterborough. It aims to develop a stakeholder map and a deeper understanding of the spheres of control and influence each stakeholder has on the specific targets and indicators in question. This research project will focus on the SDG-related metrics that are within the sphere of control of the City of Peterborough, as an active agent, and are articulated under SDG 9: Infrastructure and Industrial Innovation and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. It will then develop a strategy for effective engagement with these key stakeholders that the City can use to advance the implementation of the SDGs in Peterborough.

Responsible Messaging in Social Media

Refresh Wellness app intends to offer a novel approach to address the global prevalence of mental health disorders, in Canada and abroad. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive mental wellness platform that can be used in both individual and workplace settings to monitor and analyze mental health patterns, and generate appropriate solutions to address them.
The app features a system that allows users who follow each other to exchange messages back and forth. Ideally this system will support use cases such as asynchronous support groups. However, there is potential for this feature to be abused by some users, a behavior that is common on many popular social media apps today. Since the Refresh Wellness app intends to support mental wellness, we cannot allow toxic behavior to propagate through our user base. Refresh intends to apply an aggressive moderation approach, including both automatic filters to prevent objectionable content and tools for the user to mitigate contact with toxic users or user behaviour. This project seeks to both provide a messaging system and the moderation back-end to let our employees take effective action against both content and users when needed.

Business Analyst Intern – RMA

Currently the RMA/Canoe uses spreadsheets and paper copies of receipts to submit expense claims and for company credit card tracking. Manually entering this information into a spreadsheet and managing the multiple paper copies of the receipts has become cumbersome for our employees’ submitting expenses, as well as for our payroll and accounting team. We are looking for a solution to automate the expense and credit card tracking and submission process. We are looking for a mobile application where the employee will be able to take a photo of the receipt from a mobile device and create the expense and/or credit card submission through the app. Ideally this application will have OCR capabilities to capture the data on the receipt so that the employee does not have to enter this information in manually. This application should also have the capabilities to properly code the expenses into our financial system. The desired outcome of this project would be to implement a 3rd party mobile app that satisfies all the requests from our users and that integrates with our GP financial system.

Towards Representation of Collective Memory: A Holonic Multi-Agent System

Collective memory helps societies access and learn from the knowledge that they have gained through experience in the past, and make better informed decisions at present. When collective memory is explicit and accessible, it facilitates knowledge transfer within the society, helps reach decisions faster, and contributes to preparation for risks. However, access to collective memory can be a challenge because it is often not explicit. Moreover, collective memory changes and evolves constantly, in part due to the passing of time, and partly because of innovations, societal transitions, and environmental change. These complexities give rise to questions such as: How can we represent the collective memory and its evolution? How can we find and retrieve specific information in the collective memory? What can we learn about the changes of the collective memory? To shed light to theses questions, this project uses Artificial Intelligence approaches.

Junior IT Admin

ArrKann Trailer & RV Centre is a third-generation family-owned and operated privately held business. The company has six locations throughout Alberta, and over 130 employees. ArrKann has experienced significant growth over the past four years, adding four of their current six locations, and increasing their headcount by 49%. Recently, the company has developed an IT Strategy. The intention of the strategy is to move from ad hoc IT systems, and support, towards well-designed solutions and processes which will support organizational growth. Over the course of 2022, Arrkann will be working on two major IT migrations, both related to our main server. The server dates back to 2012 and is reaching both its operational end-of-life (hardware) and the end-of-support for its operating system (software).
ArrKann has engaged IT service providers on an ad hoc basis in the past, but due to its recent growth, brought IT in-house last year. The company’s Senior IT System Administrator has quickly become a crucial resource for the company and staff, and the demand for his support services internally, coupled with the scope of these projects has created an opportunity for an internship with the company.

Advances to business and sport management professionals’ ethical decision making: A practical approach in collaboration with CCES

In collaboration with the CCES we will develop a practical approach to training business and sports ethics—one that enhances students, professionals, and sports participants and leaders’ ability to navigate “how to resolve ethical dilemmas” to minimize social and environmental damage and maintain the integrity of sport. This project aligns with one of the strategic pillars of the new CCES Strategic Plan: to develop ethical sport leadership and identify emerging ethical issues that are threats to Canadian sport, and support stakeholders to respond and develop solutions that address the issues. The multi-stakeholder inclusion (partnership) is necessary to provide situational context for ethical dilemmas that are peculiar to these environments. Although, individuals enter the workforce or sports arenas with an understanding of why unethical decisions are made, and what the consequences could be given these decisions, they lack the ‘how to’ knowledge to resolve ethical dilemmas given the situational context. Therefore, to address this gap, the proposed project will include multi-stakeholder involvement and pursue four key objectives: a. provide a range of decision-making frameworks to assist in ethical decisions, b. develop an “Ethical Dilemma” case library, c. create workshops with supporting materials for sporting organizations and executive training and, d. create an outreach/marketing plan in collaboration with CCES to improve workshop participation of target audiences.

Automated False Positive Filtering for esNetwork Alerts and Lolbin Detection for Raw Endpoint Telemetry

Pipeline alerts are beneficial to analysts to determine where their attention is needed. However, a high false positive rate leads to a noisy stream and wastes analysts’ time. The first sub-project will aim to classify the alerts as either low or high likelihood of a false positive, allowing analysts to spend their time where it is most effective.
Living-off-the-Land binaries (Lolbins) is an increasingly common technique among attackers, yet there is currently little detection for such an attack. The second sub-project will fill the gaps and provide automated detection for Lolbin abuse, and increasing detection rate beyond what is possible with out-of-the-box detection.

Assessment of IT Distribution Channels in Canada

The distribution of IT products in Canada is complex and constantly changing, with dramatic transformation coming from new digital technologies, changing customer expectations and the constant presence of global competitors. This research will assess the IT Distribution Channels in Canada to understand the changes, and to identify the key attributes for survival and prosperity going forward.
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) rely on IT Channel partners, who bring both technology and the understanding of how to implement and deploy that technology for competitive advantage. The ability of SMEs to compete in an increasingly digital global marketplace relies directly on their IT Channel partners. This research will allow Canadian businesses to understand how to build that reliance and to understand how the Channel will evolve in the future.
