Development of a Proof of Concept for a System to Increase Success Rates of Organ Transplant and Donation Matches

Transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients whose kidneys have failed. There is an ever-growing gap between patients in need for a transplant and available donors. In response to this need, there has been an increase transplantation of donors who experienced circulatory determined death (DCD). However, many potential DCD donors fail to end up in transplantation. Moreover, patients who need to return to dialysis because of transplant failure are at an increased risk for early death, experience decreased quality of life, and contribute to an increased burden to the health care system. During this internship, we will use Artificial Intelligence to facilitate the identification of eligible donors and prediction of successful DCD organ utilization. Finally, we will provide decision aids to help clinicians pair transplant candidates with the best chances for excellent long-term transplant outcomes.

Modeling and forecasting the popularity of YouTube videos

Many YouTube content owners currently make money from their videos by allowing YouTube to
display ads next to them. For these content owners, increasing the popularity of the video leads to
more revenue, and therefore it is of great importance. The purpose of this project is to design an
algorithm to predict the popularity of videos. The algorithm will look at past patterns of views for
videos and leverages this information to predict the future views for them. Using this algorithm,
YouTube content creators can get an estimate as to how popular their videos will become and
subsequently, how much money they will be making. They can then leverage this information to adjust
and adapt their marketing and content creation strategies.

Sources and sinks for potentially hazardous elements in mine waste

Mining is important to the Canadian economy but also generates large quantities of waste rock. Water percolating through some waste rock piles dissolves metals that can become hazardous to ecosystems. Laboratory tests are used to simulate this process. The intern will examine a suite of samples from a multi-year laboratory test to identify the source minerals and new minerals (sinks) that may have formed during the experiment. She will also work with the partner to determine the mineral reactions that occurred during the tests. The focus will be on nickel and cobalt, two metals mined in Canada and used for electric car batteries. The partner organization will benefit from access to cutting-edge analytical equipment at Queen’s

Investigating the use of mixed reality technologies as a solution to help mitigate the challenges under the COVID-19 restrictions for artistic collaboration and education

Traditionally, artistic communities relied on face-to-face encounters to learn their skills, collaborate, and showcase their work. Due to COVID-19, performances in the arts have been abruptly halted and traditional music lessons take place at a studio has stopped.
This project aims to examine and provide a prototype solution to mitigate the challenges in artistic collaboration and education that are the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will focus on employing asynchronous and real-time video and 3D data streaming technologies as an alternate means of creating an immersive environment that will be more satisfied with the existing system. We hope to establish collaboration models (including UI/UX, control and communication, and trust/privacy) with these technologies for education and creative collaboration.
There is an immediate need to explore a new paradigm for performing, teaching, collaborating, and learning in the artistic communities. This research project will benefit practitioners and researchers on how advanced technologies can be used for day-to-day learning and education of our future artists and extending the collaborative creative practices of artists, whether in-studio or online.

A Serious Approach to Sickness Prevention in Motion Base Simulators

Training personnel to operate machinery in the construction workplace requires a major devotion of time, resources, and safeguards. Recent methods involving virtual reality and motion base simulators have drastically enhanced the training process, but some users of these new methods report sickness and discomfort. This research aims to remedy this issue with a theoretical and data-driven approach to (1) identifying what makes a simulator nauseogenic, and (2) reducing or avoiding these patterns of motion. The expected benefits include a greater adoption of simulator technology across the market, due to a quantifiable improvement in the experience by means of a motion sickness reduction approach.

COVID-19: Indoor light-activated, self-cleaning surfaces for continuous decontamination of air in HVAC systems

The risk of airborne disease transmission is high for essential workers even while wearing PPE. Since SARS-CoV-2 can remain airborne after a sneeze or cough for several hours, ideally, there would be effective methods to remove these infectious particles directly from the air. In this work, we develop a membrane-based technology capable of serving the two-in-one function of dehumidification and decontamination of the indoor air, which can be coupled to room A/C systems. This will be achieved using nanomaterial-based membranes which incorporate a light activated antiviral coating expected to kill viruses and other microbes as they pass through the system Through development of these coatings and demonstrating their applicability and efficacy, Evercloak will significantly benefit. Access to scientific expertise, high-technical human capital, and access to a well-established lab facility at the University of Waterloo will accelerate development and fuel innovation.

Exploring The Effects Of Functional Connectivity To Depict Key Differences Between Stages Of Sleep To Determine Why REM Protects Against Seizures

The purpose of analyzing the different stages of sleep by means of functional connectivity metrics is due to the overwhelming unlikelihood of seizures occurring during REM sleep. The functional connectivity metrics are computational algorithms run on a computer that determine if the signal from one node is similar to another in any way. These nodes record the electrical potentials from the brain and are arranged around the head in a certain pattern making up an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. Determining the proper steps of manipulating the signals to reduce any anomalies from the signal is ideal for obtaining a truly reputable result. Through this work these algorithms can be adopted by the Health Sciences Centre to improve research in the field.
