Numerical Modelling of Laser Cladding Technology using Pastes and Tapes

Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing technology for applying high-quality metal coatings to parts in order to improve their mechanical wear properties, and thus increase their lifespan. Currently, these metal coatings are created by depositing metal powders on the work piece and welding them together with the laser. A significant amount of powder is lost in this process, which is a large factor in the cost of this type of cladding. This project will use computational modelling to help the industrial partner optimize application parameters for a new deposition method in laser cladding which uses pastes and tapes. These tapes and pastes can help minimize powder loss, increase cladding efficiency, and achieve a higher flexibility in cladding complex part geometries. These improvements will significantly increase the competitiveness of laser cladding, achieve economic feasibility in new areas, and thereby help expand the market share of this advanced technology.

Evaluation and improvements to quantitative models for predicting en route loss in Fraser sockeye salmon

Fraser River sockeye have become more difficult to manage due to climate change and increasing high adult in-river mortality events. Currently, managers use the difference between estimated lower river sockeye abundance at Mission hydroacoustic station and estimates of abundance attained on the spawning grounds through stock assessment; referred to as difference between estimates (DBE’s). Fraser River sockeye managers use linear models to understand the factors that contribute to these estimates post season in the form of descriptive management adjustment models and use predictive management adjustment models in-season to predict DBE’s and adjust fishing accordingly. However, predictive management adjustment models used in-season have been unreliable which has resulted in foregone catch suggesting that the models need to be improved. In this internship we will test upper river temperatures relevant to each population to see if the post-season descriptive management adjustment model fit improves. TO BE CONT’D

Analysis and Optimization for Industrial Safety and Efficiency

Irwin’s Industrial Safety is a leading provider of safety consulting, safety training, and safety operations management. Over the last 4 years, Irwin’s Safety has compiled data on project safety and efficiency over a wide scope of projects. Moving forward, Irwin’s Safety seeks research into how this data can best be analyzed, visualized, and used to optimize future projects. Before data can be analyzed, data scripting will be applied to transform the data into a suitable format. Data analysis will include a variety of standard techniques, and develop custom methods appropriate for this data set. Data visualization will be used to help communicate the statistical findings to non-research orientated consumers. Finally, an optimal resource allocation model will be developed and analyzed. An algorithm will be designed to provide rapid solutions to the optimal resource allocation model, so future projects can be optimized.

Continuous Leaching and Recovery of Silver Sulphide Ore in Cupric-Ammonia Thiosulfate Medium

The conventional way of treating silver ore is using cyanide during leaching process, also called cyanidation. Due to the inherent toxicity of cyanide and the potential hazard toward human and environment, cyanidation has raised more public concerns in our society. More and more regions have strict regulations or prohibition on using cyanide. An alternative leaching method for silver ore is necessary. Among all the proposed alternatives, thiosulfate leaching is the most promising one. Low toxicity and low cost make thiosulfate leaching attractive. Many studies have shown good results on thiosulfate leaching. However, before applying this new technique in real-world, the leaching system should be scale-up. The project adapts the thiosulfate leaching system in the condition that is more like the industry. By doing this, the scale-up data can be generated. Moreover, the data can be used in future research, as well as the real-world applications.

Les dimensions d’évaluation des projets d’innovation : le cas d’un outil de pilotage de la valeur étendue des initiatives du nouveau laboratoire d’innovation de l’entreprise GSOFT

Au sein de l’entreprise de génie logiciel GSOFT, le GLAB est un laboratoire d’idées où les employés de l’entreprise sont invités à envoyer des idées innovantes qui seront traitées pour potentiellement voir le jour. Ces idées peuvent être proposées autant pour de nouveaux produits, que pour la communication, le marketing, ou les processus internes, par exemple.
Relativement à cette nouvelle démarche d’innovation, nous pouvons soulever deux questions interdépendantes : (1) Quels sont les critères qui déterminent la valeur d’un projet d’innovation au delà de la seule évaluation de la rentabilité économique du produit développé ? TO BE CONT’D

Developing the Innovation Capabilities of a Specialized Manufacturing Firm: A Longitudinal Action-Research Case Study

This field research project is a continuation of an on-going multi-year action-research program, undertaken in a large Manufacturer of Industrial products in the Energy Sector. Like many Canadian corporations, faced with pervasive globalization, economic uncertainty, fierce competition and strict legislations, this Family-owned Company aims at revitalizing its product lines, entering new specialized market niches and upgrading the technological level of its offering through the introduction of Internet of things (IoT). Using a multidisciplinary perspective of technological and organizational change, our action-research program will study the dynamics of innovation during the unfolding of 3 major initiatives aimed at improving the long-term innovation capabilities and propelling the Company under study into the Digitalization age: 1) Digitalization of products/services (Internet of things, etc.); 2) Market Scanning & Analysis Methods; and 3) Open and collaborative innovation.

Experimental and field-based validation of environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of juvenile and resident salmonids in British Columbia streams

Determining the distribution and abundance of species is a central requirement for making sustainable resource management decisions. Ecofish, in collaboration with the University of Victoria, would like to evaluate if environmental DNA (eDNA) methods can be used to reliably detect low density salmonid species in streams, with the objective of implementing eDNA as a defensible methodology in the environmental consulting industry in British Columbia. The potential to use eDNA to augment or replace current more invasive methodologies (e.g., electrofishing, night snorkeling), is great, however a number of key research questions remain regarding the spatial and temporal behaviour of eDNA material in streams. The proposed intern, Jeff MacAdams, is nearing the completion of his M.Sc. thesis at the University of Victoria working to understand the detection limits of juvenile Coho Salmon in experimental tanks and natural streams using eDNA.
