Capacity Building for Competitiveness in Aboriginal forestry Year Two

This project recognizes the significant business challenges First Nations forestry enterprises face which have the effect of limiting the benefits to First Nations from forests (Wellstead and Stedman 2010). There is limited awareness of the conditions that affect the success and failure of Aboriginal enterprises in the forest sector (Trosper et al 2008). Research on economic questions is more limited than expected given the widespread activity taking place, despite the widespread importance of forests to Aboriginal peoples and their long-standing history of resource management and land use (Wyatt et al 2010a). We focus in on a fundamental problem: governance. The research will address this problem by working with FN to identify business objectives and designing an effective business governance structure, drawing on the empirical work of the Harvard Project. In this vein, the outcomes of the study will lead to improved business process, supporting the competitiveness of the partners. Working in a participatory action research approach with the partners, the researcher will test and guide the implementation of an optimal governance structure for the partners– linking it to the unique context of each enterprise. The use of the Native Nations Institute’s governance tool is novel in the Canadian context.

Alloy development and process optimization for extrusion-based metal additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM, also referred to as metal 3D printing) promises to revolutionize the manufacturing sector by allowing custom parts to be printed on demand. Despite manufacturing accounting for 10% of Canada’s GDP, less than 5% of Canadian companies use AM. Among the limiting factors to the adoption of this technology are a lack of printable materials, poor part quality, and lack of skilled workers with the knowledge to take advantage of AM. In this project, we will work with one of Canada’s only AM system providers (Rapidia Tech Inc) to alleviate these barriers and accelerate the adoption of AM technology by Canadian businesses. Our research will develop new copper and titanium materials that can be used with Rapidia’s printer. We will design the composition of a metal powder paste, optimize 3D printing settings, and design a heat treatment to bond the metal powders in the paste. The development of printable copper and titanium materials will increase the potential applications that AM can be applied to, broadening Rapidia’s customer base.

Development of an Educational Resource to Assist Not for Profit Organizations in the Administration of a Peer Support Evaluation Tool

To ensure Canadians with SCI continue to receive peer support services organizations require methods to track the impact of their programming. The proposed research project will provide Canadian SCI organizations with an optimized tool that will enable them to critically evaluate the impact of the peer support services that they provide. Having access to an optimized evaluation tool will allow organizations to demonstrate the effectiveness of their peer support services and thus advocate for continued funding to sustain the programming. As a whole, our research will contribute to a growing body of evidence that highlights the importance of peer support services for persons with SCI.

Quantum networks – distributing entanglement between remote integrated photonic circuits

Quantum networks will enhance the security of communication and link quantum computers together to solve
certain problems that are not possible with present day computers. To realize practical applications with a quantum
advantage, thousands of photons must be controlled, and entanglement utilized to distribute quantum bits across
the network. In this project, we will develop the fundamental components to generate and distribute entanglement
between two remote photonic chips. In contrast to the typical implementation used to generate entangled photons
we will generate entangled photons deterministically using ‘artificial’ atoms that will enhance the rate of quantum
communication and computation. The photonic circuits will be designed by the University of Waterloo and
fabricated by foundry fabrication processes available to Canadian academics through our partner institution, CMC
Microsystems. The successful outcome will lay the foundation for a new quantum photonic toolbox for quantum
networks that will be made available to Canadians by CMC Microsystems.

Moving towards a shared understanding of responsibility for the land among community-based food initiatives across Waterloo-Wellington region

This research project will engage 10-20 participants from community-based food initiatives across Waterloo-Wellington region to explore how groups access land to grow food. Access to land within urban environments is important for urban Indigenous peoples whose relationships with land have been disrupted by colonization. Indigenous Peoples honour relationships and responsibilities to land, which stands in contrast to a rights-based perspective recognized in the current system. This research aims to shift this narrative and explore how community-based food initiatives can foster relationships and responsibilities to the land. This research will benefit the partner organization, Wisahkotewinowak, an urban Indigenous garden collective with four sites across the Waterloo-Wellington region, by producing recommendations the broader community can implement and move towards a shared understanding of responsibility for the land.

Analyse des rapports texte-musique dans la musique trap sous l’angle théorique de la rupture

L’objet de ce stage sera d’analyser les figures de rupture au sein de la trap francophone. La trap est un sous-genre du rap apparu dans les années 2000 au sud des États-Unis, caractérisé par son tempo, plus lent que dans le rap traditionnel, ses motifs rythmiques, ses sonorités, ainsi que par les thèmes abordés : ceux du deal de drogue et du style de vie qui lui est associé. Notre hypothèse est que le flow de la trap, c’est-à-dire l’ensemble des caractéristiques textuelles et musicales de la ligne vocale des trappeur·se·s, possède lui aussi des caractéristiques formelles. Notre objectif sera d’analyser ces caractéristiques, sous un angle précis : celui de la rupture, musicale et grammaticale, comme caractéristique constitutive du flow de la trap. L’enjeu d’une telle recherche sera de mettre en valeur les principes esthétiques du sous-genre et l’inventivité formelle des artistes qui en relèvent.

Commissioning a particle detector for the GSI storage rings

The study of radioactive atoms is a crucial component in understanding the origin of the elements that make up our world. By studying the decay properties of extremely rare ions and their exotic decay processes, we clarify the processes that produce the heavy elements by grounding them in observation, and answer mysteries in nuclear structure. To do this, we hold short-lived atoms in the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) and characterise their decay modes by capturing their decay products with heavy ion detectors. The BEAVERTAIL detector is one such heavy-ion telescope; constructed and built at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator, it will be instrumental in the ILIMA campaign at FAIR and thus needs to be commissioned at the ESR. For this project, Guy will participate in ESR experiments to gain expertise, and then install and establish BEAVERTAIL in a commissioning experiment to demonstrate its capability.

Cardioprotective effect of a monoclonal anti-glycosaminoglycan antibody following transient myocardial ischemia in mice

Myocardial infarction is among the most prominent causes of death worldwide. Following cardiac injury, changes in the composition of the extracellular matrix trigger inflammatory and fibrotic responses. Particularly, left ventricular remodeling and cardiac fibrosis are characterized by pathological glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production and ECM rearrangement, which contribute to cardiomyocyte death and subsequent heart failure. Additionally, chondroitin sulfate-proteoglycans (CS-PGs) accumulation in pathological cardiac remodeling directly bind inflammatory cytokines on the cell membrane and integrate signals contributing to increased collagen biosynthesis, inflammation and fibrotic processes. Previously, we showed that treatment with a chimeric monoclonal antibody (chP3R99 mAb), which recognizes proatherogenic CS-PGs, reduced atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic mice and diminished myocardial infarct areas in mice subjected to transient coronary artery ligation. Reduced ischemia–reperfusion damage to the heart was associated with an attenuation of myocardial inflammation. In this proposal, we will determine if the mAb treatment is able to modulate pathological remodeling and enhance cardiac function which would reinforce its cardioprotective effect.

Payout restrictions and bank lending: evidence from a blanket dividend ban

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, financial system regulators around the world took an array of policy measures in order to stimulate credit supply from banks to companies that were temporarily suffering from a drop in revenues. Preventing interruptions in the credit supply during crises is crucial in minimizing damage to the economy and facilitating economic recovery. One of such policy measures in some jurisdictions was an introduction of a moratorium on dividend payments from the banks to their shareholders. This measure was intended to preserve bank capital and urge the banks to spend it on additional lending to their borrowers. However, there is evidence suggesting that, because of this measure, the costs of raising new capital in the future are now higher for the banks that were subject to dividend payout restrictions. As a result, the banks might be reluctant to spend their capital on loans that would help otherwise viable firms to survive the crisis. It is important to evaluate the impact of novel policy decisions on bank lending to improve international banking regulation.

Raising Canada: Top threats to children in Canada and the business case to prioritize the needs and rights of children and address these threats

Children and youth flourish in environments that are predictable, safe, and structured. However, this is not the case for many kids in Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted these protective factors and exacerbated risk factors. Against this background, the first objective of this study is to explore the present threats facing children and youth in Canada and craft effective recommendations that promote greater equity and belonging for ALL children in Canada. This research will conduct comparative analyses to better understand the regional differences within the country. The second objective of this research is to develop the business case for policy makers and funding agencies with the view of influencing government policies and the priorities of national funding agencies. This research will be a practical blend of academic and community research to increase its reach, credibility, use and usefulness to a myriad of key stakeholders
