La participation des dirigeants au capital-actions a-t-elle une influence sur la performance de I’entreprise et sur son prix en bourse?

Le projet de recherche qui se tiendra chez Montrusco Bolton Investments tentera de faire la lumiere sur l’influence que les achats et ventes d’actions poses par la direction ont sur Ie prix en bourse de leurs entreprises. Cela tout particulierement au niveau des transactions d’inities, c’est-a-dire lorsqu’une personne a l’interieur de l’entreprise achete ou vend des portions de cette meme entreprise sur la bourse. Plusieurs etudes anterieures ont ete effectuees dans d’autres pays et sur d’autres variables. Par contre, cette recherche s’ avere unique et propose de regarder de nouvelles variables et de se baser sur un marche particulier, soit celui du Canada. En utilisant de nouvelles variables et un marche unique, on s’attend a de surprenantes conclusions qui valent largement la peine d’etre etudiees. Le sujet est d’ailleurs tres en vogue dans Ie domaine de la finance.

Estimation the cost of metal manufacturing

Cost estimation is a critical part of manufacturing. It has a significant role in determining the feasibility of decisions including design stage, planning and production methods. Especially, it is useful for subcontracting processes that GRAD4 conducts where the features of parts are submitted and bidding is the way of the deal between suppliers and buyers. We will investigate the historical cost and material data of parts and develop estimation methods utilizing statistical analysis and machine learning. The data includes features of the parts such as the operations needed, the geometry as well as the materials. The data particularly include three separate cost items: bending cost, laser cost, and material cost. The material cost has a deterministic feature that can be computed without variation. However, bending and laser costs has more complex nature which can be captured by pattern recognition applications. The final estimations would be in confidence interval form to enable the measurement of uncertainty and risk assessment.

Effect of exposure to hydrocarbons on reproductive functions in select marine organisms

The partner organization, Oceans Ltd, offers diagnostic services to detect and monitor the effects of environmental contaminants on marine ecosystems, mainly using fish as biomonitoring tools. The company wishes to seize an opportunity for capacity building and diversification by exploring new bioindicator technologies based on the effects of hydrocarbons on the reproduction of marine invertebrates. The Mercier Laboratory will provide key expertise on the general biology and reproduction of marine invertebrates, which will be instrumental in exploring this avenue. The intern will use this knowledge to assist Oceans Ltd develop indicators of oil exposure that relate to reproductive functions in selected cold-water species. Specifically, the intern will be involved in carrying out the hydrocarbon exposures and subsequent biomarker analyses as part of his graduate (MSc) studies.

Modelling Increased Recognition in Unwitnessed Cardiac Arrest Using Wearable Sensors

In more than 75% of all Sudden Cardiac Arrests, no one is there to witness the event and call 9-1-1, and resultant survival is near 0%. Sudden Cardiac Arrest death is a significant and unrecognized epidemic in Canada, affecting over 20,000 people annually. We hypothesize that modelling the implementation of wearable sensors in the population will provide evidence that key clinical and system metrics in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation system in British Columbia can be improved, and that such improvements will be worthwhile. We anticipate our models will forecast a significant increase in rates of survival to hospital discharge and survival with favourable neurological outcomes and will provide a framework for technology innovators and clinicians to develop clinical trials evaluating wearable sensors for impact on cardiac arrest outcomes. This project is strategically aligned with the goals of our partner organization, CHÉOS, which contributes to training the next generation of researchers and working cooperatively with other health research organizations, including those at the University of British Columbia and beyond, to develop and carry out research strategies that impact the health and wellbeing of Canadians.

Community Impact from Rural Sourcing

This study builds upon work to define the decision process firms use in deciding to move their IT Services work to less urban regions such as Atlantic Canada. This Mitacs project seeks to build upon this work and analyze the ancillary benefits of such projects within the community (beyond the direct economic benefits). Policy objectives from regional stakeholders as well as the effects of immigration will be studied. This work will help outsourcing organizations understand and articulate their full value to the community.

Upper limb exoskeleton performance during fatiguing overhead work tasks

Overhead work is the leading cause of shoulder fatigue and presents a large financial burden to employees and employers alike due to workplace injuries. Interventions must be implemented to reduce the onset of shoulder fatigue and injury. Two interventions are currently being used, overhead cycle time and passive upper-limb exoskeletons. However, little research has been conducted regarding their effects on fatigue. Overhead cycle time is a ratio of time spent working overhead to time spent working below head. Cycle times limit how long workers can work overhead throughout their work shift. Exoskeletons are wearable devices that support the body’s structure. Passive versions use a support arm with springs to support the arms when working overhead, which lowers the force required by the worker to hold their arms overhead. We plan to investigate the effects of three models of exoskeleton and two overhead cycle times on shoulder fatigue during overhead work.

Determination of phenolic content and bioactivity in the Winecrush puree developed from a grape pomace

The evidence provided by epidemiological and clinical studies is persuasive of protective effects of fruit and vegetable intake in chronic disease. The edible parts of many fruits and vegetables are a rich source of dietary compounds that impact human cell functioning. Those bioactive compounds are often lost during food production and processing. For example, skin and seeds of grapes that are the most abundant in bioactive compounds, are discarded of during wine production. Winecrush, an Okanagan company, collects those leftovers (so called a grape pomace) and creates a puree to enhance food. In the proposed project, we will study the amount and type of bioactive compounds in the puree, their activity and availability under various production conditions. Providing a deeper understanding of the composition and bioactive properties of the Winecrush puree will strengthen puree applications in food and nutraceutical formulations and open the door to novel approaches in utilizing the puree. Apart from health and food enhancing benefits, transforming wine derivatives into a bioactive product makes a positive impact on methane emissions and land resources by upcycling winery leftovers.

Evolutionary Housing Strategies for Canadian Cities

This project examines the feasibility of low-cost evolutionary housing strategies to accommodate changing uses in Canada. It is a partnership between the University of Waterloo school of Architecture and architect John van Nostrand who has developed numerous prototypes for evolutionary housing in Canada and internationally. The research will begin with an analysis of existing prototypes in order to develop best practices. It will then test the feasibility of two types of evolutionary housing on sites in Toronto: the first, from the ground up, which starts low rise and builds up, the second, above ground, which starts with an existing building or structural frame and builds within. Both types will be tested through both a financial proforma and a life-cycle analysis to determine their environmental performance.
