Developing a User Interface and 3D Graphics Output for a Virtual Fitting Room App

The partner organization, Clear Skies Developments, is currently developing a virtual fitting room app designed to simulate the fit of clothing articles from online retailers to the shape and dimensions of the customer. The partner organization has made much progress on the fit simulation portion of the app. However, a front-end user interface (UI) and 3D graphics output are current challenges that the company faces as it launches the first beta tests of the app. These two components are what the customer will interact with while using the app. During the project, Interns will use and develop their skills in programming and computer graphics while contributing to these features. Benefits for the partner organization include increasing customer satisfaction, reducing the rate of returns for online retailers, and reducing the number of garments that end up in landfills due to logistics challenges in the return process.

Developing a climate lens assessment framework for the City of Peterborough infrastructure projects

The purpose of this project is to assist the infrastructure management division of the City of Peterborough to develop a climate lens assessment framework tool, which has the potential to enable the city to assess the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with its infrastructure projects while assessing the capacity of these projects to withstand climate change risks throughout their expected useful life. The objective is to prioritize climate considerations in city council’s infrastructure decisions. The approach is to understudy two cities in Ontario (London and Windsor) who have already integrated climate lenses in their operational decisions. Specifically, the project seeks to examine the key components of the climate lenses of these two cities; what specific areas of the cities’ operations are they applying the lens; how did they successfully integrate the requirements of the lens into their decision processes; what challenges are they confronted with; and what lessons exist to be learned from their experiences. This will be a collaborative research with members of the infrastructure division of the city of Peterborough. Individuals from the cities of London and Windsor who play a key role in climate change and infrastructure related decisions would be interviewed.

Development of Quality Control Monitoring Program for Long Chain Reclaim Soil Remediation Facilities

Soil contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) represents the one of the largest waste streams by mass in Alberta, where the primary method for remediating contaminated sites involves the excavation, transport, and dumping of the contaminated soil into landfill facilities. This approach leads to further complications including increased energy expenditure, emissions, and production of concentrated contaminant hot-spots. Long Chain Reclaim (LCR), a Stony Plain-based environmental services company specializing in PHC bioremediation, is keen to address the contaminated soil waste stream through the development of Soil Remediation Facilities (SRFs). SRFs will require internal analytical chemistry capabilities to monitor the bio-degradation of PHCs, which will in turn enable us to develop the necessary quality control measure and predictive models to operate the facility. This project is intended to assist LCR in the set-up, validation, and initial operation of our own analytical chemistry operations.

Wavelet Methods for Sparse Functional Data

Due to advanced modern technology for continuously measuring and recording data at multiple discrete locations and times, functional data are ubiquitous such as weather data and stock market data. Such kind of data usually has smoothness characteristics in the form of functions with complex structures and can be analyzed through many different techniques developed in functional data analysis. Currently, functional data analysis has received a lot of attention in recent years due to their tremendous applications in many areas. In this project, we shall explore the wavelet-based approach for efficiently estimating the means and covariance of sparse functional data. In particular, through extensive numerical simulations, we want to figure out what are the main properties (such as short support, orders of vanishing moments, and time-frequency localization) of wavelet frames that determine their performance for the sparse functional data analysis. The findings from this project will set the stage for further future investigation on functional data analysis using wavelets and wavelet frames on bounded intervals with various desired properties. This project also provides a collaboration opportunity for researchers from both Canada and France.

Middle East Strategy Forum

The Institute for Peace and Diplomacy (IPD) is organizing and hosting the second annual Middle East Strategy Forum (MESF) in Spring 2022. The conference is focused on the geopolitical developments in the Middle East and Canada’s defence strategy toward the region. The three-day conference will be
hosted in a hybrid format in Ottawa, convening in-person and virtual keynote speeches, round-tables, policy workshops, and networking sessions. The conference will be complemented by a series of security analysis and strategic anticipation papers by our participating network of experts on the emerging security threats that concern Canada’s national security and defence strategy in the Middle East. The publications will come out in Summer-Fall 2022. This project is sponsored by MINDS Program at Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND). The Mitacs intern will assist with the planning and organization of the forum, as well as the research and and publication of a series of policy briefs and working papers that will be submitted to DND and other relevant government ministries, such as Global Affairs Canada (GAC). Once completed, IDP anticipates that the MESF will generate several public policy innovations.

Egg versus whey protein as the optimal supplement for fitness-conscious people

Nutritional supplements are often used by people who are engaged in strength training to augment muscle mass and strength. The leading protein supplement on the market is whey protein. Recent studies have indicated whole-eggs may be very effective for increasing muscle mass and strength, due to the high quality protein in the egg whites and bio-active nutrients in the yolks. We propose to compare a supplement (i.e. powder) derived from whole eggs to whey protein for increasing muscle mass and strength in men and women who are engaged in strength training. The nutritional supplement market for active people is a multi-billion dollar industry. Our project has potential to promote eggs in the lucrative nutritional supplement market and benefit the Egg Farmers of Canada.

Scheduling optimization in multi-priority, multi-class rehab settings

As the leader in the delivery of pediatric rehabilitation services for the Region of Waterloo and County of Wellington, KidsAbility serves 11,000 children annually with a variety of developmental, physical and communication needs. For the past 30 years, demand for KidsAbility’s services has grown at twice the rate of growth in revenue. The disparity between demand for care and the supply of treatment has grown so large that many families wait longer than desired before accessing treatment.
There are many dimensions to access issues in healthcare. One area of access KidsAbility has direct control over is their scheduling systems. It is an operational area within the organization that holds the potential to greatly improve access to care. The goal of this project is to identify and implement ways to optimize KidsAbility’s scheduling systems through the application of known algorithms, optimization models, and other knowledge from the field of scheduling sciences.

Art of Creation

Your risk of getting diseases like diabetes changes for many reasons. You probably know some of them: your genetics, what you eat, and how much you exercise. But you might not know that your parents’ health, including the health of their sperm and eggs, changes how you grow and develop as a baby in the womb, and impact on your long-term health. Your risk of getting diseases changes because of how your body interacts with your environment during conception, pregnancy and, the period after birth – your first 1000 days of life. The biology that explains this is complex and difficult to digest. Since art can be used as a tool to help with conversations about complicated topics, we want to use art to explain the biology of this first 1000 days. This is an exciting opportunity for scientists and artists to collaborate in science, health education, and research. This project includes a new, exciting partnership between McMaster University and the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH), where we will capitalize on the strengths of each institution.

Development of Innovative Anaerobic Digestion Technologies for Enhanced Energy Recovery from Cattle Manure

This project explores the use of new anaerobic digestion technologies such as the vacuum-assisted anaerobic digestion as well as innovative pretreatment technologies including the high-shear thermo-alkaline Lystek process and other mechanical, thermal, and chemical pretreatments to enhance the solubilization of the lignocellulose in cattle manure. Enhanced solubilization will result in higher biomethane yields and faster kinetics, resulting in smaller and more efficient farm digesters. The project will develop a new steady-state design model for farm digesters treating lignocelluosic wastes with and without pretreatment. A techno-economic evaluation of the various technologies will be undertaken both to benchmark the process economics as well as identify niche market opportunities for various farm sizes. The partner organization as a leading municipal biosolids treatment engineering consultant in North America, will be able to expand in the emerging agricultural renewable energy market.
