Public and Private Investment in Public Companies during a Pandemic

In an economic crisis such as a pandemic, every aspect of a company’s strategy and capital deployment must be reviewed, from management to assets and projects that are within the company’s pipeline. Investors both domestically and internationally will ultimately be more risk-averse during periods of economic crises. Therefore, going forward, a junior mining company’s corporate strategy must incorporate a post-pandemic business model, while maintaining investor confidence.

Portable Detection and Characterization of the Synovium and Effusion inMusculoskeletal Ultrasound

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease often characterized by the inflammation of the synovium and effusion of joints. RA is a chronic condition and may affect quality of life. Detection and characterization of the synovium and effusion in joints is most often assessed by a trained sonographer or radiologist. Recently ultrasound has been brought into the clinic and used by other trained healthcare professionals such as clinicians and physiotherapists. In order to assist in the acquisition of musculoskeletal ultrasound, the current proposal will examine the incorporation of artificial intelligence/ machine learning assisted guidance for scanning to allow for more accessible and standardized assessment.

Impacts of effluent release on phosphorus retention and nitrous oxide emissions in prairie wetlands

Wetlands are increasingly seen as a form of natural green infrastructure owing to the many ecosystem services they provide. Like many effluent receiving watersheds in Canada and around the world, the Frank Lake wetland in southern Alberta provides services that support diverse user groups (municipal, industrial, non-profit, recreational). Much like other watersheds, this system is faced with degradation of habitat and water quality, due to its long history of intensive land-use, and inputs of agro-industrial and municipal wastes. Here, our project will define how nutrient-rich effluent inputs to the Frank Lake Wetland complex impact two key ecosystem functions (sediment phosphorus retention; dissolved nitrogen removal through denitrification). The knowledge gained from this research will help the wetland managers (Ducks Unlimited Canada) to design management regimes that balance the needs of all user groups (government, industry, water stewardship groups, recreational users), while preserving the ecological values that flow from the site.

Digital transformation with glassware

This project aims to develop a new deep learning algorithm based on various existing CNN-based algorithms, like SPPNet, Fast RCNN, Faster RCNN, YOLO, RetinaNet, CornerNet, etc. to detect the specific machine, forklift, in an image stream and classify the images by the type of forklift. Meanwhile, the company’s existing cloud environment and the speed requested by a real-time system must be considered. The project will resolve a couple of problems. For example, how to recognize a forklift if the significant component is blocked in natural images, how to identify the type of different forklift with similar features, how to make sure the model computes quickly enough to satisfy the request of a real-time system, and so on.

Developing secure platforms for sharing First Nations owned information

The development and advancement of web mapping technologies is opening the doors to new mapping platforms that are accessible, interactive and engaging. In a conservation and resource co-management setting, there is a large potential for these web mapping platforms to be used to empower local communities by supporting local monitoring, planning and management decisions. However, there remains a disconnect between these technological advances and their capacity to address community needs and promote meaningful co-management. One emerging method to develop community-driven web mapping platforms is Participatory GIS (PGIS), which focuses on context and users, rather than technology. This proposed study will investigate PGIS methods in the context of First Nations fisheries management in British Columbia. Viewing local ecological knowledge as a valuable community resource, this project will focus on the development of secure and empowering web mapping platforms in partnership with the First Nations Fisheries Legacy Fund and the First Nations Fisheries Council to address a need for improved sharing and coordination of fisheries data between communities.

Improved Phenotyping of Macrophages Using Cell Line Models, Gene Expression Signatures, and Protein Secretion Data

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a 3rd leading cause of death, which decreases lung function due to irreversible airway obstruction. Lung immune cells, such as macrophages, play an important role in the disease progression. However, researchers don’t fully understand their diversity and functions. Models of macrophages are useful to better understand patient macrophages. We will first obtain 3 types of model macrophages and compare their characteristics (such as gene expression and secreted proteins) with recently published COPD alveolar macrophage data from literature. Results from these experiments will determine whether these robust models could be used to better understand COPD alveolar macrophage phenotypes and functions.

Urban Transportation and 5G Connectivity

With the fifth-generation mobile communication system (5G), mobile operators need to explore new use cases and applications. These industries are potential users of 5G to fully exploit the new 5G capabilities in terms of its application. Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems are considered new use cases of 5G whose low-latency and ultra-reliability are required. This project presents an experimental evaluation of latency and reliability performance of 5G connectivity towards intelligent transportation systems. In this project, we introduce the 5G Thales prototype system. It is most distinctive that the prototype system is equipped with a V2V Direct communication radio interface and the traditional radio interfaces between BS and UE (i.e., downlink and uplink). Then, we present the evaluation results on over-the-air latency and reliability performance. The measurement campaign was carried out in Quebec City.

Microchemical techniques to evaluate priority contaminant sources along the migration routes of Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Adult Chinook and Coho Salmon migrate to a variety of marine regions around the North Pacific. Along these migration routes, the contaminants they encounter and consume will vary. These returning salmon are consumed by humans and Southern Resident Killer Whales, and the health risk they pose will be dependent on their migration routes and diets. Otolith microchemistry provides a record of where salmon have been throughout their lives. By comparing the microchemistry of returning salmon to the microchemical profiles of various marine regions, we can determine the migration route undertaken by each individual salmon and relate that to its contaminant load. We propose to compare the microchemical profile of various marine regions to returning Chinook and Coho Salmon to determine the different contaminant loads associated with migration routes and diet.

EFFECT OF DAM-ROCK INTERFACE IRREGULARITY OF THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF GRAVITY DAMS

Dam failures may lead to catastrophic consequences, extending far beyond the immediate neighbourhood of the dam site due to sudden reservoir release or overtopping. The main objectives of this research project are: (i) to apply state-of-the-art simulation tools to investigate the seismic response of a real dam in Quebec to formulate guidelines on the significance of including the effects of the irregularity of dam-rock interface and vertical component of earthquakes in the evaluation of the seismic response of dams. Selected monoliths of the dam are investigated under stochastically uncorrelated horizontal and vertical acceleration components corresponding to seismic hazard in Eastern Canada. A particular attention is devoted to the effect of the irregularity of dam-rock interface. Extensive transient analyses are conducted to obtain response indicators including displacements, shear forces, and tangential displacements at the joints and dam-foundation interfaces. The methodologies and the obtained results are synthesized in a technical report

Moving evidence into practice: using knowledge transfer to improve the care of individuals with lymphedema

The purpose of this partnership between the University of Alberta and the Canadian Lymphedema Framework (CLF) is to support the CLF’s mission to promote best practices in risk reduction, early diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema. Lymphedema is a swelling that occurs in a limb or body region as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. Currently, it is estimated that over 1 million Canadians suffer from lymphedema, with a significant proportion developing the disease secondary to cancer and/or cancer treatment. With support from the University of Alberta, a qualified expert postdoctoral fellow will provide the CLF with the needed expertise in research to facilitate the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Lymphedema and an evidence-based learning series for healthcare professionals in both official languages. As the CLF is in a time of leadership transition, this partnership will allow the organization to explore its future leadership needs.
