A Metrics-Based Approach to Support Sustainable Product Development and Consumption

Sustainable product development adheres to the needs of the present while developing a product without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This proposal aims to develop a suite of sustainability metrics that can be computed by analyzing data like company website, product material information, etc. The metrics will be integrated into the existing Arbor sustainability product suite via dedicated mobile app and browser extension. The metrics can positively impact the companies and consumers by helping them make informed decisions on how to develop and consume products with sustainability as a key focus, which can then help fight the climate change (e.g., reducing emissions) and supporting everyone (including humans) affected by the changes.

Toxicité résiduelle et stabilité à la digestion de la zéaralenone-14-phosphate chez le porc

Les mycotoxines contaminent principalement les céréales au champ ou au cours de leur stockage. Elles sont toxiques pour l’homme et les animaux. Avec plus de 56% d’échantillons testés positifs en alimentation animale, la zéaralenone est la mycotoxine la plus présente en Amérique du Nord après le déoxynivalenol. La présence de cette mycotoxine dans l’alimentation, même à de très faibles doses, peut notamment conduire à des troubles de la reproduction chez la truie qui est l’animal le plus sensible à ses effets.
Une méthode enzymatique de transformation de la zéaralénone en un produit de phosphorylation (zéaralénone-14-phosphate) par la souche Bacillus sp. S62-W a été récemment décrite. Bien que cette voie présente un grand potentiel pour l’élimination de la ZEN dans les aliments destinés aux animaux de la ferme, la réduction de toxicité de la zéaralénone -14-phosphate par rapport à la zéaralénone n’a pas été prouvée. De même la stabilité de ce produit de biotransformation dans la lumière du tube digestif des animaux de rente reste à établir.
L’objectif général du projet est d’évaluer la toxicité résiduelle de la zéaralénone-14-phosphate et sa stabilité à la digestion.

Strategic Analysis: Expanding the Resources of the Refresh Wellness App

Mental health issues are common worldwide and affect people in many ways. In Canada, one in five people are dealing with a mental health disorder. The result of this is high emotional costs to those individuals and their social networks, and high economic costs to the country’s healthcare system.
Refresh Wellness intends to offer a novel approach to preventatively address this ongoing challenge, in Canada and abroad. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive mental wellness platform, the Refresh Wellness App (RWA), that can be used in both individual and workplace settings to monitor and analyze mental health patterns, and generate personalized, research-backed solutions to address them.
The resource section of the app will require preliminary market research before moving to a development stage. Therefore, we are requesting two interns who will carry out a market analysis of the resources already being offered by existing digital mental health platforms. Of those resources that are currently offered, the interns will determine which of those resources have been received well and which ones have not been received well. Additionally, they will identify resources that are presently missing, but are in high demand among people that use these platforms.

Introducing RWA 2022

Mental health issues are common worldwide and affect people in many ways. In Canada, one in five people are
dealing with a mental health disorder. The result of this is high emotional costs to those individuals and their social
networks, and high economic costs to the country’s healthcare system.
Refresh Wellness intends to offer a novel approach to preventatively address this ongoing challenge, in Canada and
abroad. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive mental wellness platform, the Refresh Wellness App
(RWA), that can be used in both individual and workplace settings to monitor and analyze mental health patterns, and
generate personalized, research-backed solutions to address them.
Refresh is getting ready to release the Refresh Wellness App to the Saskatchewan market. Therefore, we will need to
develop a deliberate roadmap in order to ensure we make a strong entrance. As far as we know, RWA is the first
platform of its kind to be released in Saskatchewan; therefore, the plan to bring it to market will require a fresh
approach, with methods that will work well for this product in Saskatchewan. Along with this, a robust marketing
strategy, innovative branding, and updated organizational processes are essential components. This project aims to
develop executable plans, streamlined processes, and new materials in the above areas that will together assist
RWA’s initial entry into the Saskatchewan market.

Dynamic Network Management and Performance Optimization for Smart Talk Beacon’s security architecture

Internet of things (IoT) systems require significant management related to external intrusions, internal threats, device failures, access management, and performance monitoring. In addition to network management issues, quality of service (QoS) must be maintained to predict changes and determine device and network performance. A good IoT system should be able to identify, track, and mitigate problems while dynamically adjusting its operation. Smart Talk Beacon’s architecture is based on a no-trust security framework where devices rely on authentication and encryption to securely communicate with each other. No-trust security framework in such systems is challenging and can pose vulnerabilities because of the heterogeneous nature of the end-to-end architecture. The main objective of this project is to analyze the QoS performance and propose a QoS algorithm in the Smart Talk Beacon’s IoT security architectur

Améliorer la trajectoire de soin et de vie des aînés chuteurs ou à risque de chute par la mise en place d’activité physique à l’aide de gérontechnologie comme intervention en clinique externe de gériatrie

Ce projet vise à mesurer, d’une part, la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité d’un programme d’activité physique
faisant appel à une gérontechnologie auprès des aînés vivant en résidence pour personnes âgées et,
d’autre part, les bénéfices d’une telle d’intervention auprès de cette population. Nous faisons appel à
une technologie adaptée appelée Jintronix qui offre une variété d’activités simples, ludiques et
sécuritaires. Basé sur un système de détection de mouvements, ce système offre un feedback continuel
au participant et permet au kinésiologue de suivre à distance les progrès de chaque participant. En plus
d’évaluer la qualité du mouvement, Jintronix offre la possibilité d’adapter les paramètres des exercices,
tels que la vitesse et l’amplitude de mouvement ainsi que le nombre de répétitions, permettant de
personnaliser efficacement les programmes. Nous estimons que ce système pourrait favoriser la
pratique d’activités physiques chez les personnes âgées et, par conséquent, améliorer leur santé.

Development and evaluation of AI-enabled planning algorithms for timber-harvesting machines using Vortex

Timber-harvesting is an important industry for Canada. For tree-cutting specifically, the industry employs large heavy-duty machines with crane-like manipulator arms which are driven by trained operators. The work involved in operating these machines is tiring, involves long hours in harsh conditions and as a result, there is presently a labour shortage for operators. It is therefore imperative to introduce AI and robotics into the operation of these machines in order to reduce the workload on the operators. In this project, we will be developing such algorithms for feller-buncher, harvester and log-loading machines. Our goal is to provide assistive technologies as an aid to the operator for planning the motion of the machine during the tree-cutting and log loading tasks. We will be implementing our algorithms on a training simulator at our industrial partner’s (CM Labs) premises and will use the simulator to conduct studies with operators. These studies will allow us to evaluate the benefits and deficiencies of our algorithms and identify further directions for this research. Through this project, we will also expand the c

Innovative Design Experiences to Improve Mental Health

Mental health issues are common worldwide and affect people in many ways. These issues include changes and instability in personality and mood, depression and anxiety, withdrawal from events and activities, etc. Computational approaches, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in the early detection of mental disorders are promising. Even though machine learning methods provide high-throughput results, these methods have many limitations in mental health care. The insights provided in mental health application mathematically are sound and valid, however, presenting those results without proper interpretations driven by mental health providers in this field have led to more complications and confusions rather than helping the users. Most apps are useless at best, and harmful at worst, due primarily to a disconnect between the designers building the apps and the providers in the field of mental health.
Refresh intends to offer a novel approach to address this ongoing challenge, 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.

Examining alternative community-based transportation services for older adults in British Columbia

Transportation is now recognized as a social determinant of health. And yet the current transportation system is not set up to meet the day-to-day needs of the aging population. Within the next decade, a quarter of the population in BC will be over the age of 65. As the population ages, a decline in cognitive and physical abilities will require people to give up driving. To promote healthy aging, we need to introduce, at scale, a range of reliable alternative transportation services for older adults. The Mitacs intern will work with the United Way and the Provincial Working Group on Seniors’ Transportation to advance our understanding of how older adults in BC navigate the driving cessation process and to identify best practices for alternative, community-based transportation services. The findings will ultimately be used to make recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Ministry Infrastructure and Transportation on how to support the mobility needs of older adults.

Advanced modeling of induction heaters for environmental remediation

Soil contamination by petroleum and other heavy hydrocarbons is a major environmental concern. One way to address it is the in situ thermal remediation technology: the contaminated soil is heated up with an array of large heating devices, thus accelerating evaporation of the contaminants and cleaning the soil in a matter of months.
The goal of this project is to model a particular kind of heating device used in this approach: the induction heater. A typical induction heater consists of a highly conductive coil inside an electrically conductive casing. Once an alternating current is supplied to the coil, it sets up an alternating magnetic field inside the heating device, which in turn creates an eddy current inside the casing. According to the Joule–Lenz law, this eddy current generates heat inside the casing, which is then diffused into the surrounding soil.
We will create and validate a mathematical model for the behaviour of such heating devices, in particular for the magnetic field and the temperature distribution inside the device. This will require taking into account the effects of all relevant material properties and geometric parameters, such as conductivity of the casing and the shape of the coil. Once the model is complete, we will use it to optimize the design of the heaters and achieve the best possible power efficiency.
This project will extend existing mathematical models to make them more realistic and to determine the impacts of existing assumptions. This more advanced model will allow more faithful simulation of the devices to allow quick, safe and efficient computational experiments to reduce the number of test devices needed to be built and also to allow for better control of devices used in the field.

Design of asphalt mixes using pyrolysis products

This project will support a Master’s UNB student to investigate the impact of including pyrolysis products (bio-oil and biochar) in asphalt mixtures by designing asphalt mixes that meet the requirements set for pavement applications. The use of carbon-rich bio-oil and biochar; could positively impact the properties and rate of oxidation of asphalt materials. Also, the use of biomaterials contributes to the sequestration of carbon, preventing the creation and emission of carbon dioxide. Ensyn will provide the material (i.e. filter cake) to assess its potential use in pavement construction applications.
