Moose (Alces alces) winter habitat selection in the Northeast Superior region: comparing ways of knowing and seeking joint solutions using improved forest data

The goal of this research project is to identify where Indigenous Knowledge differs from how the province of Ontario understands and manages winter moose habitat, in order to better protect moose populations in the Northeast Superior region. Additionally, new and improved forest inventory data in the region will be investigated as a potential tool to help close the gaps identified through interviews and community engagement. This project will be carried out with the support of Wahkohtowin Development and aims to provide this organization with new information to better assist their owner First Nations in conversations about moose with forestry companies and the province

Development, Design, and Implementation of Low Carbon Concrete Structures

The production of cement contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions resulting in a pressing need to develop strategies for reducing the use of cement. This research project focuses on reducing cement use by improving structural efficiency. In order to fully understand the behaviour of these efficient structural elements and ensure that they will provide safe and durable structures, advanced testing techniques (e.g. hybrid simulation) and sensor technologies (e.g. distributed fibre optic strain sensing) will be employed. Advanced approaches to the design of these low cement structural elements will also be developed. To create awareness and promote industry acceptance, the full project team (partners and researchers) will work together to design, construct, and test a demonstration structure. A critical element of this research are the internships with partner Arup where advances in design will be transferred to industry. All 5 students involved in this research will participate in these internships.

Monitoring the Frost Heave of Screw Pile in glacial deposits of Alberta: a case study in the field

In Canada, screw piles are widely used in supporting residential and commercial buildings. While the design of screw piles are general well-known to engineers, the uplift displacement of screw piles during the winter season is still mysterious, especially in cases where screw piles are installed in frost-susceptible soils. The present project is intended to conduct a field test of screw piles in the clay of Alberta and therefore to provide a case study for the engineering performance of screw piles in cold regions. The project will provide an empirical correlation between frost uplift of piles and the control conditions of soils. The outcome of the project will safeguard the general public from building damage caused by the cold temperature.

Smarter Collaborative Software to Support Energy Operations Centers

For so many years, industries that are heavily reliant on geospatial data have been working with paper maps unfolded on tables. Some of these companies are still using paper maps to analyze huge amounts of data despite the current availability of geographic information system (GSI) for storing and managing geospatial data. Data management tasks using these traditional methods are asynchronous and very tedious. Delays in updating these maps can pose a safety risk for field workers who may bew guided based on outdated information. GIS applications are used for capturing, storing, managing, analyzing and dispaying geograpgically referenced information. GIS applications are used for capturing, storing managing, amalyzing and displaying geographically referenced information. Some electrical utilities have their own GIS data which includes details of their circuits, power-lines, and other company details. GIS applications are typicall used to create interactive queries, anlayize spatial information, edit data and present the results of these operations. Some control ocenter teams in electricity companies, however, still prefer to use printed paper maps on tables to discuss and analyze snapshots of the data. Most GIS applications are focused on upporting a single iser and since these teas typically work collaboratively, they prefer using printed maps.

Groundwater and Contaminant Transport Modelling of Denison Tailings Management Areas

This research project evaluates the environmental performance of two tailings management areas at a decommissioned mine site in Ontario. The tailings areas are decommissioned with a water cover and continue to be managed and monitored with ongoing water treatment. The project revisits groundwater modelling that was conducted prior to the decommissioning of the site and updates it using nearly three decades of environmental monitoring data and advancements in software. The groundwater model will determine the rates and directions of groundwater flow from the tailings areas. A second model will use the outputs of the groundwater model and groundwater chemistry data to identify potential effects on the long-term water quality in nearby lakes and rivers that receive this groundwater flow. The project provides an assessment of the long-term performance of this type of facility using decades of observed data.

Synergizing biophysics and AI to identify NASH therapeutics

Fatty liver disease (a.k.a. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)) and progressive liver fibrosis are a critical health concern across the world affecting as much as 25% of the world population and have become an enormous health concern leading to liver failure and hepatic carcinoma. There are no established drug regimens for these liver diseases. To develop much needed therapeutics, we will use a mouse model that recapitulates the exact human syndrome including all of the liver diseases. Our preliminary work using this mouse model has identified a key protein that is involved in both sugar and fat metabolism. Using molecular modelling techniques, we will rational design an inhibitor for this protein and test them afterwards. This drug will fulfill and very well recognized unmet need affecting many millions of people.

Queering the Tech Ecosystem in Canada: Understanding challenges, intersections, barriers, and opportunities

LGBTQIA2S+ individuals face barriers and challenges in gaining employment in tech, resulting in their underrepresentation in the industry. Research on this issue is sparse and incomplete. To address this labour-market gap in Canada and improve opportunities, we propose a mixed-methods research study that includes a quantitative survey about LGBTQIA2S+ experiences in tech companies and qualitative interviews with a representative sample. This data will help us better understand hiring and employment experiences, challenges in attracting and retaining LGBTQIA2S+ individuals in tech, and how to improve these processes. Participants include self-identifying LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and non-LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, who work in different levels and sub-sectors, including in hiring and policy-making. Results will help the partner organization, QueerTech, improve their program design, service offering, policy advising, and advocacy initiatives. This project will facilitate knowledge translation and the application of research towards making a positive difference in the lives of Canadians and strengthening the Canadian economy.
