Non-emerg. Patient Transfer Scheduling and Assignment

The objectives of this research project are to design and evaluate scheduling and assignment models to minimize travel costs and maximize the service level delivered for non-emergency patient transportation. This will be done using operations research, a branch of applied mathematics where models of a system are formulated to predict the system’s performance based on a given set of input parameters, system structure, and stakeholder actions. The objective is typically to determine the decision policies (i.e. stakeholder actions) which achieve a desired (or best) system performance. The primary contribution of this model is to design scheduling approaches to improve the efficiency of EMS patient transfer systems. Best practices for scheduling transfers produced from this study will be directly transferable to EMS systems around the world including those found in Nova Scotia and the Netherlands.

GIF Tools II – Advanced GeoPhysical Inversion II (Year Two)

Over the past 25 years researchers at the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF) have generated forward modelling and inversion codes that deal with most types of data of interest to a consortium of mining companies. This proposal moves the research to applications in their corporate environments, and to advance the tools and understanding about how to use the research to date in an efficient manner to extract maximum information from their geophysical data. GIFtools, the computing software for carrying out advanced inversion, was developed for this purpose. This proposal will: (i) undertake further research and development of GIFtools as a computing environment to carry out advanced forward modelling and inversion of geophysical data; and further research and development of methodologies and inversion techniques to interpret magnetic data contaminated with remanence.

Development of Dielectric Coating for the Next Generation Wearable Heart Monitoring System

Electrocardiography or ECG is a technology that can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over a long period of time. Such signals can be utilized for interpreting both the structure and function of the heart. Traditional ECG designs consist of several electrodes that need to be placed directly in contact with a patient’s skin. These metallic sensory electrodes are usually made into disc-like configuration and one of the major drawbacks is the inconsistency in signal recording due to poor skin contact from the non-flexible nature of the electrode design. Thus, HelpWear Inc., is intended to manufacture next generation ECG sensors by utilization of flexible polymeric based material to replace the traditional bulky ECG design and integrate novel materials for wearable healthcare applications.

The estimation and prediction of crop biomass and final yield using UAV-based point cloud data

This study will focus on an alternative remote sensing method for crop long-term biomass monitoring and prediction of final yield using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based 3D point cloud data in Southwestern Ontario. Currently, biomass and yield are estimated from statistical and crop growth models. However, statistical models are only applicable for specific area or environmental conditions; crop growth models require many input parameters which are impractical for individual farmers. The allometric method could be an alternative for crop biomass estimation. Moreover, the key parameter, crop height, is difficult to obtain from satellite or airborne remote sensing data. According to the outcomes from my previous study, crop canopy height and LAI estimation methods using the UAV-based point cloud data could be valuable information on crop biomass estimation using the allometric method.

Origine et dynamique plurimillénaire des peupleraies à la Forêt d’enseignement et de recherche (FER) de Macpès au Bas-Saint-Laurent

L’histoire et la dynamique des forêts en lien avec les incendies restent mal connues au Bas-Saint-Laurent. Les feux naturels sont relativement rares dans la région. Toutefois, l’omniprésence du peuplier faux-tremble semble étroitement associée à l’occurrence de feux récents, liés aux activités humaines. La FER de Macpès représente un terrain d’étude stratégique puisqu’une grande partie de son territoire s’est régénéré en peupleraies suite à un feu survenu en 1923. Ce projet vise à comprendre l’origine et la dynamique du peuplier faux-tremble à la FER, L’analyse des charbons de bois des sols de la FER permettra de déterminer le régime des feux naturels et identifier les espèces ligneuses qui ont brûlé à différentes périodes. Nous obtiendrons ainsi une reconstitution à l’échelle locale de la forêt préindustrielle, ainsi que les processus qui ont conduit à l’omniprésence actuelle des peupleraies. TO BE CONT’D

Picking Up Our Medicine Bundles in a Modern Day Context

Communities in Northern Saskatchewan have overwhelming epidemic rates of suicide. This loss is compounded by the unresolved grief and inter-generational trauma associated with the legacy of residential schools. There is a clear connection between high suicide rates and the historical trauma experienced by Indigenous people. Mental health services for Indigenous youth in rural and remote communities are delivered by outsiders, through a medical “helicopter health” approach.
This research examines Indigenous methods of healing as a way toward a sustainable holistic youth healing program for rural and remote communities. The research findings will be prepared in a document to influence policy change with hopes that locally developed indigenous methods of healing are supported by policies that guarantee long term impact. We hope to strengthen and mobilize community processes from the inside-out; empowering Indigenous youth and families as they learn how to pick up their knowledge bundles in today’s world.

A Feasibility Study of a Measure of Resiliency in a Vulnerable Population

Managing daily life can be overwhelming when living with low income, mental illness, addiction, and social isolation/discrimination. When crises occur, intergenerational cycles of trauma can result. Social support and strength can be found in families and support systems, but these are often not ideal. This research project will result in a measurement of resiliency in a vulnerable population at Calgary Urban Project Society (CUPS) Health Education Housing. We will include resiliency in: economic (housing, food, education); social-emotional (community involvement, self-regulation, and involvement in the justice system); physical and mental health; and childhood development. We will engage with clients in developing a measure of resiliency, and make sure that it is a good fit for measuring resiliency in this vulnerable population. We will copyright and share this CUPS Resiliency Matrix (RMX) with other agencies in Calgary, provincially, nationally, and internationally.
