Complex Continuing Care in a Rural Hospital: Optimizing community-based health care

Community hospitals in small towns or rural areas face challenges in delivering health care that will allow elderly members of their community to remain in the community that they helped to build. Using simulation modelling, this project will develop strategies for delivering complex continuing care in rural hospitals that is closely integrated with long-term care, residential care, and home care services. Small towns and rural communities have a tight-knit social fabric and the contributions that family support and community services provide to health care are important factors. This project will be carried out with the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation and will focus on the municipality of North Perth, Ontario.

A study of the hydrogeotechnical behavior of in-pit tailings and their interaction with the contact structures – Year two

Mines wastes include tailings and waste rock. Tailings are crushed rock produced by mineral extraction and waste rock is coarse material excavated to create mine openings. These wastes are commonly disposed on the surface in tailings or waste rock piles, which could pose serious environmental and geotechnical issues. Backfilling the openings of underground mines with wastes has become a common practice. The disposal of wastes in open pits is less common, yet is a promising technique. Very little research has been performed on the behavior of tailings disposed of “in-pit” and on their interaction with contact structures. In-pit disposal of mine wastes is underway at the partner’s mine. This is an opportunity to study in-pit disposal that will lead to improvements in the technique and an understanding of its effects on the environment. ponds

A study of the hydrogeotechnical behavior of in-pit tailings and their interaction with the contact structures

Wastes produced by mines include tailings and waste rock. Tailings are crushed rock produced by mineral extraction and are typically disposed as slurry. Waste rock is coarse material excavated to create mine openings that have no economic value. These wastes are often stored on the surface in tailings impoundments or waste rock piles and they pose important environmental and geotechnical risks. Backfilling the openings of underground mines with treated wastes has become a common practice. The disposal of wastes in open pits is less common, yet is a promising approach for integrated mine wastes management. Very little research has been conducted on the behavior of tailings disposed of “in-pit” and on their interaction with contact structures. In-pit disposal of mine wastes is underway at the partner’s site, Doyon-Westwood Mine. This is an opportunity to study important aspects of in-pit disposal that will lead to improvements in the method and an understanding of its effects on the environment. For example, waste rock could be placed in the pits as inclusions that would improve drainage and stability. Where the pit lays above underground mine openings the effects of in-pit disposal on the stability of these openings should also be evaluated.

Recurrent Deep Architectures for Modeling Time Series Data

Deep learning is currently the dominant machine learning technique as a result of state of the art performance in vision (Russakovsky, et al., 2015), speech (Amodei, et al., 2015) and natural language processing (Vinyals et al., 2015). The improvement in performance of these models is attributed to the availability of large datasets for training the models as well as software & hardware improvements that help accelerate the training process. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are one of the most powerful and popular frameworks for modeling sequential data such as speech and text. We propose to create an open source implementation of scalable, “industrial-strength”, RNN models. These models can then be fine-tuned and trained to perform specific prediction tasks on time series datasets from finance and insurance sectors.

Ecosystem Value Accounts – Tools to Advance the Green Economy and Sustainability Agenda

The project will develop ecosystem value accounts of land owned by the forestry company Kenauk Canada ULC (Kenauk Canada) using a variety of ecological economic approaches. The emphasis is to capture the broader value of ecosystem goods and services as opposed to equating value with the price of standing timber. Approaches under consideration include: net primary productivity, development of biocapacity accounts, and development of ecosystem service indicators. The project will also contribute to economic and sustainability discourse by exploring the normative underpinnings of how we assign and determine ecosystem value.
Kenauk Canada recently took on the mandate of transforming from a traditional forestry business into a sustainable conservation operation. Kenauk Canada will use the accounts to communicate the ecological importance of land they own and inform the new strategic direction of the company. Communicating the ecological significance is further regarded as a key strategy to leverage partnerships with conservation groups and economic development agencies. In addition, the ecosystem value accounts will include a carbon inventory which will be used to explore participation in carbon trade. Kenauk Canada understands that environmental risks and climate induced changes require forestry companies to create new business models based on principles of integrity and sustainability.

Development and commercialization of novel reference material for food allergen and gluten proficiency testing – Year two

The planned research program aims to address an existing gap: the lack of commercial availability of reference materials for food allergens to be used in the context of analytical method development, validation and performance testing. In particular, naturally incurred samples representing food matrices where priority allergens are likely to occur, in a controlled and calibrated fashion are not available. Allergens targeted include egg, milk as well as wheat gluten (targeting both wheat allergen and Gluten testing). Selected food carriers (food matrices where the allergen will be incorporated in a controlled and calibrated fashion) will be identified based on needs and priorities for allergen testing as well as market research.
The research envisaged will include the development of conditions of production, quality control and use of such reference materials. TO BE CONT’D

Support will be sought from the food allergen analytical community established under the auspices of the Association of Official Analytical Communities (AOAC International) as well MONIQA (international non-for profit network gathering analytical scientists: moniqa.org).
This initiative will also include some market research to study opportunities of commercialization of the developed materials in North-America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Synchronization of ovulation to improve the efficiency of an in vitro embryo production/embryo transfer program in commercial operations in cattle – Year two

In vitro embryo production and embryo transfer (IVP/ET) is a technique that has been developed in cattle for genetic selection to enable rapid improvement in commercially important traits. Technological advances have resulted in a significant increase in the commercial use of IVP/ET in recent years, and have made this one of the fastest growing sectors in the dairy industries. However, pregnancy rates following the transfer of IVP embryos are lower than that of in vivo produced embryos. Asynchrony between the recipient and embryo stage at the time of transfer may be affecting pregnancy rates in IVP/ET programs. In commercial operations, less than 65% of recipients are optimally synchronized to receive an embryo. Preparation of recipients by using heat detection after synchronization with a single dose of prostaglandin may be a limiting factor. TO BE CONT’D
