Mathematical Foundations of Hybrid Quantum Technologies and Quantum Leap Africa

We are on the doorstep of a quantum revolution in modern science, perhaps most significantly in the development of new types of information and communication technologies, and Canada has positioned itself as a world leader in these efforts. This proposal includes an expansion of research into quantum information and communication by the University of Guelph’s David Kribs, in collaboration with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), which has identified quantum information as an area of fundamental importance to its network. The internships held by Kribs’ students under this project will support the AIMS-Canada chapter in its mission goals of partnership building and public engagement, and include fieldwork time spent at AIMS centres in Africa in support of its quantum information science development.

Registering the Chinese Dream: Student Reception of Public Intellectual Debates in China

Since reforms carried out in China in the 1990s, public intellectuals and academics have experienced an unprecedented amount of freedom with which to conduct research and examine the relationship between China’s past and present and its future. In recent years, however, changes in the political climate in China indicate this period of relative openness may be coming to an end. This project will consist of long group discussions with young scholars and graduate students in Beijing and Shanghai. The goal of the project is to understand what the future generation of China’s leaders think about China’s most significant, controversial, and long-lasting public debates. It will proceed contextually and from the issues raised by participants in the discussions. The project will contribute to a historical understanding of intellectual trends in China and reveal aspects of public discourse in China that are often neglected by stereotypical narratives of repression or free-market excesses.

In vivo evaluation of smart nanocarriers for cancer therapy

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite of development of arsenal of medications to treat cancer, the efficiency of marketed medications has been drastically compromised by their unwanted and uncomfortable side effects. To address this problem, we have developed new nano-sized drug transportation carriers to deliver the drugs to the tumor tissue and break down and release them only once they are inside the environment of a tumor or cancer cell. This method cannot only prevent damage to the healthy tissues and organs in the body but can also protect drug against various physiological barriers in the body. Investigation of these drug nanocarriers in animal models is an integral stage for their entry into clinical application. Our research supported by Mitacs is aimed to investigate the therapeutic potentials of these nanocarriers by examining them in mice. TO BE CONT’D

Multi-sensor mapping system Integration

Using maps is an integral part of our life especially in our digital era whether it is for navigation, used in geographic information system,resources monitoring, surveying and many others. The pace of technological progress in the mapping sensors is rapidly accelerating. LIDAR sensors and optical sensors are two different types of mapping sensors. LIDAR and Optical sensors have their strengths and limitations. The integration between the LIDAR and optical sensors can boost the strengths of both while greatly mitigating the limitations. The advances in the sensors technology allow a higher rate and volume of data acquisition. GPS and inertial measurement unit IMU(used for sensor orientation) are also sensors that have to be integrated adding to the integration challenge. A careful and smart integration scheme is required to build an efficient low-cost mapping system. TO BE CONT’D

Low Cost Aptamer-Based Technology for Mycotoxin Detection in Grains

Mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin A and fumonisin B1, are toxins produced by moulds that can adversely affect human health as well as grain industry profitability. Mycotoxins are one of the most important barriers to competitive agriculture in the Great Lakes Region. Corn and wheat production are at the greatest risk of contamination, which is of major concern in Ontario, the largest producer of soft wheat and corn in Canada. Reliable, inexpensive mycotoxin detection tools for use on farms, in country elevators and at processors need to be developed. We seek to develop low-cost, easy-to-use mycotoxin testing tools using a combination of a new technology called “aptamers” and established techniques of thin layer chromatography and lateral flow, or “dipstick”, assays. The proposed internships will allow for the development of optimized mycotoxin aptamers (DNA “antibodies”) that can be integrated with thin layer chromatography and “dipstick” platforms. The marriage of inexpensive and…

Academic Supports in Secondary Schools

The inquiry will involve observations of two Chinese classrooms of different grades (11, 12), research of articles examining stress levels and academic success, and observations of after-school programs in order to gauge the available academic support for students in high-stress positions. I will refer to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results between Canada and China, especially in regards to testing as a reference point for my reflection. I will be focusing on testing such as the Higher Education entrance exam (the Gaokao exam) in China, and Canadian testing equivalents, such as the Education Quality and Accountability Office Assessments (EQAO), the Literacy Exam, the Canadian Achievement Tests (CAT), etc., in order to compare schools in Ontario with those in Chongqing China.

The Role of The Arts In Chinese Middle School

Having a strong background in the arts, I will research the use of the arts in Chinese Middle schools. I will be observing grade seven and grade eight classes. I am interested in seeing the differences in how the art impacts the Chinese Education System. One of the topics I will be observing is the art curriculum. I want to see the difference in the Ontario Art Curriculum to the Chinese Middle School. Another topic I will be comparing is the different teaching techniques. I will be observing the attitudes of teachers and students towards the art program. Another topic that I will be looking into is the different teaching styles that teachers in China have when teaching the art. I will be comparing the Canadian teaching model to the Chinese teaching skills. TO BE CONT’D

Study on dependencies of uncertainties and their effects on Offshore Wind Farm Maintenance

Offshore Wind Energy is one among the viable renewable energy sources which could help meet our future energy needs. The main concern about the offshore wind energy is the high cost of energy. The cost of Offshore wind energy is very expensive when compared to onshore cost. The success of offshore wind energy highly depends on how we reduce its cost of energy. Maintenance Optimization plays a pivotal role in reducing the cost of energy produced by Offshore Wind Farms (OWF). It is commonly assumed that 25% – 30% of the cost of energy produced by OWT is due to Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities (twice as expensive as onshore installations). The harsh environment and limited accessibility make the maintenance of OWF’s more complex and expensive. The main reason behind the reliability and accessibility issues are the uncertainties encountered by OWF’s. TO BE CONT’D

Classroom Differences: What Works Best

This research proposal is looking at the differences between the teaching style, classroom climate, and classroom setup; I will be looking at the differences in these between Canada and China. The focus is to take note on what is working best to get the most in student engagement and learning. There are two different models of learning, in Canadian classroom the focus has been on the “Mastery Model” where school is learner- centered. In China the “Factory Model”, with standardized education, is the only way they teach. Through this research I hope to able to see the positives of both models, see what is working best for the students and their learning. With all the information, I want create a model that can bring out the best from both environments. TO BE CONT’D

Calibration de têtes d’abattage-façonnage Ponsse H7 : efforts et bénéfices

Les abatteuses-façonneuses modernes sont munies d’un ordinateur embarqué pour gérer la tête d’abattage-façonnage. Aujourd’hui, ces ordinateurs ne sont pas utilisés à leur plein potentiel. Pour l’être, les instruments de mesure de la tête doivent être calibrés. Ce projet vise à réaliser une étude de type « coûts-bénéfices » pour déterminer dans quels contextes la calibration peut se traduire en gains financiers pour l’entrepreneur et pour la scierie. Ce projet permettra à l’organisme partenaire d’approfondir ses connaissances sur les méthodes et les protocoles de calibration et d’élargir son offre de services auprès de ses clients entrepreneurs forestiers.
