Design and Implementation of Real-Time Platform for Beehive Monitoring and A Mite Extraction System

As one of the oldest forms of agriculture, apiculture (i.e. beekeeping) plays an essential role in contributing to people’s livelihoods and the survival of the environment. However, beekeepers are faced with challenges such as Colony Collapse Disorders (CCD), swarming (queen bee leaving with the majority of the worker bees), and queen loss. Unfortunately a constant monitoring of the hives by the beekeepers is demanding and it disturbs the activity of the hive. The objective of this project is to design a remote real time platform that enables the study of the colony’s behavior. The study will be performed with the cooperation of HoneyView Farm Ltd. on the bee colonies. The results will help the development of an intelligent system that will be able to recognize the colony and queen bee’s condition by observing different factors such as sound, temperature, vibrations, and other factors. The system will then inform or warn the beekeepers about the condition of the hive and the queen bee. In addition, an automated system will be designed to extract the Varroa Mites that have been known to be one of the causes that lead to CCD.

Nepali Case Assignment

In most commonly studied languages, the subjects of all sentences are marked the same way. In some less commonly studied languages including Nepali, however, subjects of transitive verbs are treated as subjects, while subjects of intransitive verbs are marked the same way as objects of transitive verbs. These are called “ergative” languages. If we imagine that English were an ergative language, the following pair of sentences would be grammatical:
“She saw him.”
“Him slept.” (rather than “He slept”).
There is an active debate among theoretical linguists about how to best explain why some languages work this way. The grammar of Nepali poses problems for many of the current theories, but Nepali is an understudied language and no account has yet been proposed to explain it. In this project we will analyze linguistic data gathered from Nepali speakers in northern India to formulate an explanation for subject marking in Nepali. Such an analysis stands to make significant contributions to the current debate on split ergative subject marking, and to what is known about the linguistic structure of Nepali.

The effect of motivation on foreign speech performance

As a result of globalization, foreign language communication has become increasingly important in many countries. Vietnam has been going through drastic economic surge and globalization in recent years, so effective teaching methods for foreign language based on
scientific evidence are imperative for developing the country. This project will explore the role of motivation on Vietnamese learners’ foreign language communication in English and Korean, i.e. two of the most widely studied languages in Vietnam. When speaking a foreign language, you want to project ideas and get meaning across (approach), while you try not to make errors or lose your face (avoidance). Therefore, motivation in foreign language speaking involves different directions: moving forward to communication goal and moving away from linguistic problems. This project targets the different types of motivation on foreign language speech performance. The findings will shed lights on effective ways of teaching foreign language especially for Vietnamese learners learning English or Korean.

Stressless Gamification to Improve Workplace Health

Stress is a top workforce risk and according to a Towers-Watson 2013 survey, half of all employers identify improving the emotional and mental health of employees as their top priority for building health and productivity programs. The objective of this research is to improve StressWelliQ’s systems and product portfolio by creating gamified technology solutions and thereby improving the lives of Canadians. The creation and evaluation of this technology will allow StressWelliQ to create a more effective augmented stress management platform. We expect to (a) build the gamification and social interaction strategies within StressWelliQ’s platform, (b) evaluate the effectiveness and (c) build gamified application strategies of the biomedical devices developed by StressWelliQ. It is expected that these results will help StressWelliQ to gain a competitive advantage for stress management, stress evaluation, and stress prevention. Building a gamified stress management platform will ultimately provide novel research and design opportunities for the interns and help them build a stronger researcher portfolio.

Système d’intendance (Stewardship) de Recyclage des cartons de lait vides au Nouveau-Brunswick

Tout bon projet provincial en recyclage requiert en soi d’examiner en amont un système d’intendance de certaines matières recyclées permettant un retour raisonnable sur l’investissement. Thermopak Ltd. travaille sur un projet de pyrolyse à partir de la récupération des cartons de lait vides. L’entreprise nécessite de concevoir un système de recyclage bien rodé ayant pour but de récupérer ce type de carton vide après usage domestique sur tout le territoire du Nouveau-Brunswick. Le projet présenté par la compagnie reflète l’intérêt du propriétaire à vouloir minimiser l’impact environnemental concernant l’enfouissement d’une quantité effarante de ces cartons de lait vides sur 5 des 6 sites d’enfouissement de la province du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Effets de la quantité et distribution des coupes partielles sur les aspects écologiques et économiques de l’aménagement écosystémique

Des études récentes semblent indiquer que les coupes partielles ne seraient pas aussi bénéfiques qu’on le croyait en termes de conservation de la biodiversité et du fonctionnement des écosystèmes forestiers par rapport aux coupes totale. Les coupes partielles sont toutefois utilisées de plus en plus fréquemment pour répondre à des objectifs de protection de la biodiversité mais peu d’études ont évalué de façon adéquate l’impact de ces méthodes d’aménagements lorsqu’elles sont appliquées sur de grande superficie. L’objectif de ce projet est de déterminer la quantité et la distribution spatiale et temporelle des différents types de coupe utilisés qui optimisent l’ensemble des services produit par les forêts en Haute Mauricie (ex : biodiversité, séquestration du carbone, production ligneuse, habitat faunique de qualité, etc). Ceci permettrait à notre partenaire qui est un acteur important de l’aménagement forestier en Haute Mauricie d’implanter une approche qui concilie à la fois les besoins économiques et écologiques.

Comparative Analysis of Pedestrian Movement and Behaviours in Shanghai and Montréal

The objective of this research project is to try and understand differences between pedestrian behaviors in Montréal, Canada and Shanghai, China. These two countries have very different cultures and because of this are an interesting matchup for comparison studies. The comparison between pedestrian behaviors will be done by studying existing data from each city. As the datasets have different origins, it will be a challenge to analyze them and turn them into comparable forms. The different datasets will also provide insight on how culture affects crowd movements and urban design, but also how urban design affects how pedestrians interact with their surroundings. Possible comparisons include travel time in crowded situations, attendance patterns (week vs weekend), reactions to weather changes (rain, snow, smog), etc. The results of this study can be useful for the development of new pedestrian design strategies as well as the improvement of current infrastructures.

Thermoplastic injection molding of bioprinter cartridges using silicon inserts

Patients who suffer from severe burns require immediate wound closure to ensure survival and facilitate healing. The current gold standard in surgical practice is the use of split-surface autographs, allographs, or skin substitutes, but limitation range from the lack of layered tissue organization, the potential for immunological rejection, and the need for high quantities of donated tissue. At the Guenther laboratory, we aim to address these issues by designing a microfluid cartridge-based 3D bioprinter which allows the synthesis of cell-embedded, multi-layered gels in a single, continuous process in contrast to traditional top-down assembly approaches. In close collaboration with engineers at SMT Americas, we will improve the design of existing microfluidic cartridges to enable scalable manufacturing of these 3D bioprinting components.

Conversion of crude glycerol into higher value chemical products

The exponential growth of biodiesel production all around the world has created a significant surplus in the production of the principle co-product, crude glycerol. Therefore, effective utilization of crude glycerol is imperative for bringing new revenue to the biodiesel producers and the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. There have been numerous papers investigating the potential applications of crude glycerol as value-added products. However, the significant variation in the chemical composition of crude glycerol due to different type of catalyst used, transesterification efficiency between producers, and impurities in the feedstock has limited the widespread of the procedures proposed by those papers. Therefore, this research project is designed to: (i) accurately determine the chemical composition of the crude glycerol produced by Invigor Bioenergy Corporation, (ii) identify the current most economical procedure to convert crude glycerol to higher value product, and (iii) bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and industry scale.

Diversité et leadership au sein de la Banque Nationale

“L’objectif principal du projet est de dresser un portrait global de la diversité et du leadership à la Banque Nationale et d’émettre des recommandations concernant les stratégies à mettre en place afin d’augmenter la présence des femmes et des minorités visibles au niveau de la direction. Les recommandations serviront à alimenter le Plan Triennal Diversité (2017-2019). Le projet tentera de déterminer les facteurs expliquant la faible présence des minorités visibles et le recul de la présence des femmes à des postes de direction malgré un bassin d’employés diversifié à ces deux niveaux. À travers les récits des gestionnaires et des membres de la direction sur leurs perceptions concernant le développement du leadership, nous espérons identifier quelles seraient les stratégies à mettre en place pour les femmes et les minorités visibles et déterminer si ces stratégies peuvent être identiques ou s’il faudrait plutôt favoriser une approche différente pour chaque groupe. “

Sleep spindle and K-complex activation and duration in patients with circadian rhythm disorders

Circadian rhythm disorder is when the body’s biological clock is altered, leading to patients sleeping 3-4 naps of 1-4 hours throughout the 24-hour period instead of a continuous 8-hr sleep session. This form of insomnia greatly decreases the quality of life in the patient. We want to know whether if the altered circadian rhythm reduces the brain’s ability to maintain sleep. This will be found by measuring the time for appearance and duration of sleep spindle and Kcomplex using EEG and MEG recording of 15 patients and 15 healthy individuals. Since circadian rhythm disorder patients are not sleep deprived and still experience normal stages of sleep, the hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the time and duration of spindle formation. If the hypothesis is true, then it can be said that the altered circadian rhythm does not affect the brain’s ability to maintain sleep.
