Muscle Oxygenation characteristics of elite middle-distance runners

Middle-distance running events require a high blend of endurance alongside speed and power characteristics, to produce a fast rate of energy production in large capacities. Oxygen delivery is one of the limitations to enhancing the rate of energy production, which in part is determined by the ability of the muscle to extract oxygen delivered in the blood from the lungs. Therefore this project aims to understand the muscle oxygen extraction characteristics of elite middle-distance runners, and how this relates to other performance parameters.
This work will have transferable practical applications for sports that require fast rate of energy production in large capacities over a 1.5-10 minute duration (e.g cycling, kayak, swimming, rowing, and speed skating). The findings of this project will stimulate development of targeted interventions that improve oxygen delivery to the muscle.

New Mobile Mapping platform with High-Resolution images & 3D scanning

MMS (Mobile Mapping System) contains three principal components: positioning sensors, measurement sensors and mobile vehicle. This kind of system records geospatial data and provide GIS applications like: supervising of highway state, monitoring of electricity poles, collecting data of public services (telecommunications lines, electricity transmission lines, traffic signpost and pedestrian areas).
In this context, our solution is based on the integration of various navigation and data acquisition technologies to respond to many research problems like the data acquisition speed must be fast as possible because the planned system will be able to record geospatial data with a good quality when it is in moving with speed of 110 km/h, the second problem is the accuracy of data captured must achieve accuracies below than a few centimeters.

Examination of a 90-day self-compassion journal

Individuals can view their failures or inadequacies through a self-critical, isolated lens or they can view it through a self-compassionate one. Whereas the self-critical lens can increase stress and negative feelings, viewing failures or inadequacies with self-compassion leads to better coping and greater well-being. Self-compassion journaling is a low-cost means of helping individuals to increase their self-compassion. The purpose of this project will be to evaluate a 90-day self-compassion journal created by Tycho Project. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we will examine participants’ experiences using the journal and whether they improved their self-compassion and well-being. This research may result in improvements to the journal which may enhance the effectiveness of future versions of the journal.

Study Renewal: Clinical Decision Support Software for Prediction of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation Following Bypass Surgery

The problem of accurately predicting the onset of sustained postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains open. Investigators have reported many clinical indices currently associated with postoperative AF following CABG. Contemporary machine learning techniques are well-suited to recognizing underlying trends in ‘training’ data consisting of several labeled examples, and to using the results to classify new unlabeled data with remarkable sensitivity and specificity. We propose the development of advanced clinical decision support software capable of automatically gathering and analyzing relevant clinical data from patients undergoing CABG in order to provide physicians with objective and non-invasive insights into the likelihood of sustained postoperative AF so that patient morbidity and mortality, as well as healthcare costs, can be significantly reduced by targeting appropriate preventative therapies

Sophie Albo- Hardbacon

Hardbacon s’apprête à lancer un nouveau produit afin de répondre au contexte d’incertitude économique créé par la pandémie du Covid-19.
Non seulement les Canadiens sont plus soucieux que jamais de payer moins de frais sur leurs services financiers, mais la plupart des entreprises offrant des comparateurs ont mis fin à leurs programmes d’affiliation en raison de la pandémie.
Hardbacon lancera donc au courant des prochaines semaines un comparateur de comptes de banque, de robots-conseillers, de courtiers en ligne, et de CPG.
Le produit devrait être lancé au courant de l’été et certains d’entre eux sont deja lancés sur Hardbacon.ca (soft launch).
Nous cherchons un stagiaire en marketing créatif afin de de permettre à un nombre maximal de Canadiens de voir ces comparateurs.
Le stagiaire sera en charge de la stratégie marketing de ce nouveau produit, de l’optimisation SEO, du marketing de contenu et de mettre en place des stratégies d’acquisition de trafic originales (growh hacking).
Le stagiaire devra bâtir un plan marketing pour générer du traffic sur les comparateurs, devra rédiger du contenu SEO et mettre en place un calendrier de contenu et médias sociaux autour des verticaux couverts par les comparateurs.
Le stagiaire sera également en charge de mesurer l’impact des activités de marketing.

Stage de stratégie d’entreprise Mitacs

La Clinique Interdisciplinaire Movens, PME ayant ouvert ses portes en mars 2019, œuvre dans le domaine de la santé. Elle offre des services en physiothérapie, en ostéopathie, en kinésiologie ainsi que divers cours de groupe. Leur planification stratégique, élaborée en janvier 2020, prévoyait notamment l’implantation de nouveaux services en entreprise, dont la consultation santé mieux-être, l’évaluation de l’environnement psychosocial, les services d’ergonomie et la diffusion de formations spécifiques.
La COVID-19 et le respect des mesures sanitaires occasionnent de lourdes conséquences pour la jeune clinique : pertes financières importantes, diminution de la clientèle, modification à l’offre de service de groupe et en entreprise, etc. La planification stratégique ayant été élaborée avant la pandémie, celle-ci doit être complètement revue pour s’adapter à la nouvelle réalité.
Mon projet permettra d’accompagner les propriétaires dans la révision de leur planification stratégique pour l’année 2021, qui tiendra compte du nouvel environnement interne et externe de la clinique ainsi que de la situation actuelle (notamment financière) de l’entreprise. L’objectif est de redéfinir les actions permettant le respect de leur mission et de leur vision, tout en assurant la pérennité de cette jeune entreprise.

Building Equity and Inclusion through the Arts

Teaching through the arts has often been heralded as an effective way to engage marginalized
students. As such, it would seem that an arts-infused approach to learning may promote equity and
inclusion in schOOls. This research project endeavours to engage students as co-researchers to
investigate how exactly the arts and creativity allow moments of equity to arise in the classroom. To
achieve this overarching objective, the intern will develop a pre- and post- equity consciousness
assesment tool for students, as well as a documentation strategy for students to capture and reflect
on moments of equity that arise during their participation in an ArtsSmarts project. These tools will
advance the research agenda of ArtsSmarts Waterloo Region and also support the work of Overlap
Associates in fostering innovation by building inclusive contexts for collaboration.

Wide Area Synchrophasor Measurements BasedPower System Stability Enhancement

geographical area in real time using synchrophasor technology enables the design of power
system controllers against system wide disturbances which could lead to catastrophic failures.
Currently, the synchrophasor technology is primarily used for monitoring applications and its
potential for using in protection and stability control is not fully utilized. Therefore, this research is
proposed with the goal of developing effective online application of wide area synchrophasor
measurements for power system stability control. As a manufacturer of Phasor Measurement
Units (PMUs), the partner organization ERL Phase Power Technologies can directly benefit from
outcomes of this research. New applications of PMUs will increase the demand for PMUs and the
company has the potential for developing products that can use the technology developed under
this research. Also, the students trained through this project could become potential employees
for the company.

Development of Prophylactic Therapy to Reduce COVID-19 Infections

Working with Avicanna Inc., a Canadian biopharmaceutical company with advanced natural cannabinoid solutions, we will develop an easy-to-use preventative treatment, in the form of a mouthwash and/or throat gargle product, for both clinical and at-home use. A critical step of the infection is when the virus enters human host cells, which is enabled by the interaction between the spike protein on the surface of the viral particle and the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the surface of human cells. To understand this fundamental mechanisms of action, we will use specialized assays, chemical analysis, and 3D tissue models. Being able to hire an intern will enable us to identify and find the optimum levels of cannabinoids (and terpenes) that interfere with the formation of the S-ACE2 complex, to inform the manufacturing process, in order to help develop our novel approach to prevent and treat COIVID-19 infections.

Using drone and remote sensing technology to increase profitability and climate resilience of potato production

Potatoes are among the top five crops worldwide. With the rate of climate change accelerating, the pressures on potato production systems (e.g., heat stress, water stress, pest pressures) will intensify adaptation efforts. Although climate change is already happening, it is often seen as an abstract and distant problem that diverts resources from current production challenges. However, drone and remote sensing technology can reconcile this false dichotomy. They can help growers better respond to crop needs with targeted use of inputs, which improves the bottom line. The same remotely sensed data can also be used to trigger climate change adaptation actions, letting the growers know when to begin proactively adapting to changes in the climate and its impacts. Preparing this research for commercializing can help Canadian potato producers increase profitability and build future climate resilience, giving them a competitive advantage over time.

Development of microneedle array patch for COVID-19 vaccine delivery

COVID-19 is a global pandemic with no effective therapeutic and preventive agents. Given the high infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 and severity of the disease, vaccines are urgently needed to tackle the infection of this novel coronavirus. Thus far, various types of vaccine candidates, in different stages of preclinical testing and clinical trials, are being explored, including RNA- and DNA-based, vectored and attenuated virus, and recombinant proteins. However, possible adverse effects and limitations exist. For example, RNA/DNA-based vaccines can trigger an immune response leading to detrimental consequences in key organs (e.g. brain and heart), low immunogenicity, short half-life of immunogen, and inefficient delivery of vectors. To overcome these problems, we will work with a Canadian biotechnology company to develop microneedle arrays for delivering multicomponent vaccine to boost the efficacy while increasing the safety of vaccination for COVID-19.
