School-based physical activity promotion in Mexican adolescents

The proposed research is a study to test the effectiveness of a health promotion campaign to increase physical activity delivered via WhatsApp to Mexican adolescents. We believe that adolescents who receive three weekly PA promotion messages via WhatsApp will increase their physical activity. Youth aged 15-17 will be recruited from three regional high schools. Changes in physical activity will be assessed with wrist accelerometers (i.e. fitbits) from the University of Guadalajara. Youth will be divided into two groups: 1) Control, which will receive unrelated messages 3x weekly (e.g., messages about recycling) and; 2) physical activity promotion 3x weekly. The two groups will be measured again at 12 weeks. I will take into account the age, sex, and gender of the youth and see if any of these factors influence the effects of the health promotion campaign. All COVID-19 precautions recommended by the local public health officials will be followed.

Causal Reinforcement Learning in Robotics Applications

Our goal is to create an environment for the robots to participate in a cooperative situation and collaborate with other robots and human on cooperating task. Games like Hanabi and Block Stacking problems are good examples of goal-oriented and cooperation focused problem-solving tasks that will lead us to implement an algorithm that can be applied on intelligent systems.
In this project our aim is to create a real environment using our tools and equipment at Queen’s University Lab to cooperate with the robot arm (Sawyer) and reach the task goals. Considering the fact that human and robot interaction creates an uncertain environment we are looking to solve the issue by developing the algorithms with human causal learning abilities.

Numerical optimization of the capture efficiency of domestic range hoods

Cooking activities are the main source of indoor pollutant emissions. Domestic range hoods are the most efficient technology to ensure a good indoor air quality. Running low efficient hoods at high air flowrates during and after cooking may ensure low concentrations of indoor pollutants in the kitchen, while being high energy demanding and noisy and leading to depressurize airtight. It is then of prime importance to develop numerical and experimental methodologies to first evaluate the capture efficiency of existing hoods and then to define new scenarios for future labelling purpose. A better insight into the flow dynamics and pollutant concentration is deemed necessary to achieve those objectives. This project aims mainly at developing a new optimization tool to propose the optimal range hood and fan configuration in terms of capture efficiency and to test experimentally this new design according to the existing standards.

Diversity and Abundance of Ground-dwelling Arthropods in Canadian Prairie Agroecosystems

This project aims to evaluate ground-dwelling arthropods which are present in restored semi-natural grasslands, preserved grassland environments, and prairie agricultural fields that contain prairie potholes. Insects and other arthropods collected with pitfall traps in these areas will be identified, pinned, and stored in an extensive collection. Specimens collected from the agricultural fields containing prairie potholes will provide an idea of arthropods that local and migratory waterfowl may feed upon in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR). Those collected from restored semi-natural and preserved grassland sites will be directly compared to determine if semi-restored grasslands are
effective at imitating natural environments. All specimens will be added to a large-scale database that can be used to perform statistical analyses to determine trends and relationships. Additionally, this project presents one of the largest general collecting efforts in Saskatchewan to date, facilitating large-scale understanding of arthropods present within the province.

The Intersection of Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science for Species at Risk and Endemics

Different ways of seeing the world will be sought to help inform how we plan to live with the world. Landscapes, species, all need their ‘part’ of the world and this project will aim to bring indigenous ways of knowing and being into how we give part of the world to them. Various First Nations in the Yukon will be co-producers of this project along every step of the way. The end goal being to create ways of protecting biological diversity and cultural diversity.

Brand Positioning Strategy using Hedonic Pricing Analysis: A Study of Facial Recognition and Identity Solution Market

The facial recognition and identity solution industry was a USD 3.4 billion market in 2019 which is growing at a rate of 14.5%. Unsurprisingly, this untapped market is a target market for different technology firms but such lucrative markets also have some issues due to the ‘young’ nature of the sector. The main difficulty is the absence of any established reference brand with which a new entrant firm can map their brand and position it in the market. Business analytics techniques can come in handy in such situations by developing a model that provides a snap-shot of product features that are contributing to the value brand in this competitive market. A firm can plan its strategic marketing initiatives such as brand positioning strategy, sales pitch preparation, and promotional activities according to the results of the analytics model to gain an early competitive advantage in this novel market.

Large-deformation finite element modeling of seabed sediments for offshore oil and gas development

Large amounts of crude oil and natural gas are located deep beneath Canada’s ocean floors. Currently, the offshore oil and gas industry makes a significant contribution to Canadian economy. Proper geotechnical modeling of seabed sediment is very important for safe, economic and reliable development and operation of offshore systems. The proposed research will advance the technologies required in the design of offshore foundations and anchors, subsea pipelines and risers. It will also develop a finite element modeling technique for analysis of submarine landslides, which is considered as one of the major geohazard in offshore development. Four inters at Memorial University will receive training on offshore oil and gas developments through this research program. The partner organization (C-CORE) provides advanced engineering solutions to various sectors including offshore oil and gas production and transportation.

Risks of Coastal Shipping

This project will undertake research on priorities and concerns that arise within Indigenous and Coastal Communities across Canada. Shipping provides benefits to many remove communities in delivering critical supplies, but the increase in shipping due to growth in activities such as tourism, mining and other industries presents a risk to the environment, livelihoods and food sources. The project aims at enhancing general understanding of the relationship between shipping and Indigenous coastal communities, to better inform decision makers, rights holders and stakeholders. The project outcomes are expected to build on existing knowledge on the issues and risks, to help better understand and communicate on what is important to the coastal communities. This in turn will help to inform industry improvements and best practices, regulatory changes, marine spatial planning and area response planning, and overall risk mitigation strategies. The project anticipates a range of deliverables for the various audiences.

Investigating Trace Element Distribution in Cortical Bone Microstructures of Human Children for Information about Diet and Social Status

In archaeology, chemical analysis of elements in bones can unlock a wealth of anthropological information. Individuals are exposed to various elements throughout their lives, (from sources including food, drinking water, and cookware), which are stored in bone tissue. Because bone tissue regenerates continuously, skeletal remains contain a record of an individual’s lifetime of exposure to elements. Measuring their distribution within bones, and determining if they appear in newer or older bone tissue, can offer insight into major life events. Several elements are known to be connected to diet and social status, and reveal information about the lives of individuals that might otherwise be inaccessible. The proposed work will focus on elemental distribution in the skeletal remains of children; it will develop methods of analysis specific to children, and investigate the differences in element storage and distribution between children and adults. As existing methods were developed for the bones of adults, this work will provide a deeper understanding of the lives of children, and the context in which they lived.

Cow Geographies: Ecologies of Power across the World

Domesticated over 12,000 years ago, cows are currently found in every country across the globe yet very little is known about their varied histories, geographies, and lives. This despite cows’ centrality to human pursuits of agriculture, colonization, and capitalism as well as their implication in climate change. Furthermore,even as social research on cows begins to emerge in Canada, the United States, Botswana, South Africa, and China there is little opportunity to understand how these different cow geographies and stories are connected and/or produce varied types of realities and knowledge. Part of the reason for this is a lack of soft infrastructure for scholars to connect with each other across institutional and disciplinary boundaries. Consequently, our project, aims to establish a network for researchers who have an interest in broader ‘bovine scholarship’ and more specific ‘cow scholarship’ so as to share, learn, and engage in knowledge creation with one another.
