Performance of cavity nesting birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings: An individual life-history approach

This study will assess the behaviour, physiology and reproduction of individual birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings, and will provide a robust measure of the effectiveness of reclamation efforts on the Highland Valley Copper operating area. By examining a range of life-history traits in two ecologically distinct species, and comparing birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings to those on land that has not historically been exposed to mining operations, we will also be capable of identifying individual measures of quality or reproductive investment that most closely track environmental disturbance. This may become the basis for future cost-effective impact assessments in all industrial sectors engaged in resource extraction, as individual responses to environmental disturbance can provide an “early warning” of future population declines.

Industrial Research Intern Aleo Canada

Like many other industries, the manufacturing industry is struggling with increased operations costs and decreased efficiency due to COVID-19 preventive measures. In this project at Aleo, we will do a detailed analysis of these issues faced in the different manufacturing industries and leverage the latest technology to address these challenges. This project will create value both for the partner organization and Canada. The increased production efficiency at reduced cost will help the Canadian economy to bounce back quickly. This project will bring new clients and revenue for Aleo. It will also help Aleo to enhance its market presence and grow its business.

EOLC – Resilience and Recovery

Beyond the immediate disruption to healthcare systems, the COVID-19 pandemic is also causing major disruptions to the regional economy and labour market. In Eastern Ontario, this shock to the $85 billion/year economy and 570,000-strong labour market is already very serious, with potential debilitating consequences for the prospect of a rapid economic recovery (Labour Force Survey, Statistics Canada, April 2020). The factors enabling a region to bounce back rapidly after economic or labour market shocks of this magnitude remain poorly understood. The objective of the project is to answer the following questions:
1. What does the academic literature tell us about factors creating resilience in a local/regional economy and labour market?
2. What are the mechanisms by which entrepreneurship and innovation confer greater resilience to a regional economy and job market?
3. What indicators might be used to assess resilience factors, especially entrepreneurship and innovation, and their contribution to a resilient economy?
4. How can those indicators be combined into a “resilience index” to assess and track the level of resilience of a regional economy and labour market?
5. What recommendations can be made to preserve or increase the degree of resilience in the regional economy?

Optimization of an Engineering Information Retrieval System using Topic Models and Knowledge Graphs

The oil and gas industry is in the top five largest sectors in the world in terms of dollar value, generating an estimated $3.32 trillion in revenue annually. It is estimated that 40-60% of workforce in the oil and gas industry will retire in the next five years, so preserving the knowledge stored in documents is an important objective. The industry partner (WESI — Waterford Energy Services Inc.) has been developing a document management system to support this objective. In this project we focus on enhancing IR system for historical well reports by exploring different topic modelling and ontology building approaches. Topic modelling (TM) has a wide range of applications in domains such as social media, microblogging data, historical documents, biomedical data, etc. However, the practice has shown that there is no “one-fits-all” algorithm. Standard models usually do not perform well in domain- specific settings and our goal is to evaluate and develop recommendations for best-fitting TM algorithms for the well reports.

Biobased Mask Filtration Material

This proposed project seeks to develop a bio-based alternative, made from Canadian wood pulp, to the current petroleum based non-woven filtration materials used in face masks. The waste issue associated with petroleum based disposable face masks is becoming a significant issue in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the need for disposable masks is a tremendous business opportunity for PPE companies like Supermax, the development of a bio-based alternative has the potential to transform them into a market leader for socially and environmentally responsible masks. Canada’s supplies of personal protective equipment will depend on the sourcing of local materials and the manufacturing capabilities of its local companies. A bio-based material utilizing Canada’s vast pulp fiber supply, and thereby supporting an industry hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis, will give further benefits the Canadian economy, and importantly the environment.

Leveraging lessons learned from the front lines to inform policy and practice in hospital and community healthcare settings in the context of COVID-19

Among the many significant effects of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), Vancouver General Hospital’s (VGH) Department of Psychiatry has observed the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of patients and providers. These circumstances have created unprecedented demand for decisive and rapid action to avert hospital admissions related to mental health, maximize efficiency within hospitals in the context of physical distancing requirements, and improve wrap around care in partnership with community-based psychiatrists and family physicians. The pandemic has also forced a swift adoption of telehealth technologies, transforming care provision to reduce person-to-person contact while continuing to support patients during this critical time.
The Mitacs intern will join our team of healthcare providers and researchers to conduct a series of virtual focus groups with psychiatrists and family physicians providing care in VGH outpatient settings during the pandemic. The intern will help analyze and compile the findings into a report submitted VGH’s department of Psychiatry and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority leadership, and prepared a publication for an academic journal.

Explorations into the mechanism and potential of the antiviral activity of BOLD-100 as a treatment for COVID-19

BOLD-100 is a promising new drug that initial studies have shown has potent activity against the SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19) in cell culture experiments. Before being able to start clinical studies with BOLD-100, additional research into the mechanism of action is required, plus testing the safety and efficacy of BOLD-100 in animal models of COVID-19. The purpose of this project is to utilize a range of cell culture and animal models to test BOLD-100 against COVID-19 to better understand the drug. Additionally, investigations will look at other viral diseases that BOLD-100 might be utilized in. The results of this project will help define the potential of BOLD-100 as an antiviral drug for use in COVID-19 and beyond, and accelerate it’s development.
