High Bandwidth Biometrics Data Hosting and Analytics in Cloud-based Storage Systems – Year two

Cloud hosting environments include large scale distributed storage systems. With the advent of Big Data, especially newer biomedical and biometrics data, collected from wearable monitoring devices, there is a high need for Cloud-based solutions for large scale storage and high bandwidth on-the-fly data analysis for such data. A key problem for IT companies that collect large amounts of biometrics data on-the-fly is their need for real-time solutions for anomaly detection in the collected data. This work focuses on (a) on-the-fly biometric data analysis and anomaly detection and (b) on-the-fly analysis of computer system data for anomaly detection of system behavior. The proposed solution will minimize the data analysis search space of the stored data. We will evaluate our solutions in collaboration with the partner organization for types of human and system biometrics data on various distributed storage systems.

Development of a precise and robust INS/GPS navigation system using low cost MEMS sensors dedicated to autonomous multirotor applications

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) became increasingly more popular since the global industry realized the unlimited possible applications assignable to these vehicles for reasonable costs. In this way, the company ARA Robotique designs flight controllers for multi-rotors UAVs that need accurate positions, velocities and attitude (roll, pitch, yaw) knowledge. This project focuses on designing a low-cost inertial navigation system (INS) suitable for aerial navigation. However, low-cost sensors are subject to many errors including sensors temperature dependence, sensors time synchronization, magnetic perturbations and random errors induced by their low-cost nature. The computed positions and velocities may drift very quickly from numerical integration of accelerometers and gyroscopes. A common solution is to assist the INS with low-rate drift free but imprecise GPS positions and velocities. The intern will have to design a coupled INS/GPS solution suitable for outdoor autonomous navigation and indoor manual control regardless of its position on earth from low-costs Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based sensors. The INS/GPS solution will be implemented and experimentally tested in open areas.

Étude de l’utilisation de lumières et de vibrations tactiles comme interface utilisateur d’un système porté non muni d’écran

Le bracelet NEX, développé par Mighty Cast, comprend cinq voyants lumineux DEL de différentes couleurs avec lentille tactile et un actionneur linéaire pour créer des vibrations tactiles. L’utilisation de ces nouveaux modes de communication soulève plusieurs questions : quels patrons visuels et vibrotactiles et combien en utiliser pour communiquer efficacement avec l’utilisateur sans nécessiter trop d’apprentissage et de mémorisation? Quelles combinaisons de patrons visuels et de patrons vibrotactiles donnent les meilleurs résultats en termes de performance et de satisfaction de l’utilisateur? Est-ce que les utilisateurs modifient les patrons qui leur sont proposés et ceux-ci sont-ils plus faciles à mémoriser? Le but de ce projet est de produire des connaissances scientifiques sur l’efficacité, l’acceptabilité et l’utilisabilité de différents patrons lumineux et patrons vibrotactiles pour communiquer avec l’utilisateur dans une interface sans écran. Les résultats attendus sont des données empiriques, des lignes directrices

Design and validation of a novel peptide immunotherapeutic for the treatment of dog allergies – Year two

Adiga Life Sciences Inc. developed a novel immunotherapeutic platform in which small components (peptides) of allergen proteins are identified and administered in a regimen that causes immune cells to become non-responsive towards the allergens. In a phase II clinical trial, the cat allergy treatment developed by Adiga using this platform reduced allergic symptoms in allergic subjects. However, the mechanism of action of the peptide treatment is still not fully understood. During this project, relevant peptides from dog allergens will be identified and assessed for the ability to ameliorate dog allergy. In addition, samples collected from the clinical trials will be assessed to identify how the treatment works and affects immune cells. This project will therefore lead to the production of a new allergen immunotherapeutic and identify a mechanism(s) of action. This will increase our understanding of immunotherapy and potentially identify new targets and biomarkers for the treatment of allergic diseases.

Expanding the capabilities of a neurosurgery software platform to provide clinical solutions for advanced spinal cord imaging and intra-operative guidance

Pathologic changes that occur in the cervical spinal cord as a result of injury and disease are not well characterized with current clinical imaging techniques. Synaptive Medical has recently developed a suite of innovative medical imaging products focused on the brain and image-guided neurosurgery. They are interested in investigating the potential application of these technologies beyond the brain. Leveraging the expertise in spine imaging analysis, 3D visualization and surgical simulation at Sunnybrook Research Institute and the University of Toronto Spine Program, the objective of this project will be to use Synaptive’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies to better characterize pathologic changes of the spinal cord and guide complex cervical spine interventions. For Synaptive, this represents an opportunity to extend use of their specialized imaging and navigation techniques into a new clinical area focused on the cervical spine.

Real Time Inverse Scattering for Optical Coherence Tomography – Year two

A critical challenge today in neuro-surgery is the determination of tumor boundaries intraoperatively. There are means of doing this using high-resolution MRI machines, however, these can be prohibitively costly. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a promising, cheaper, label-free alternative. However, the basic models used for clinical, real-time OCT limit its usefulness and depth of focus. This work will develop a type of image reconstruction that includes digital focusing and anisotropic properties. This will extract more optical information than is currently possible, as well as improving focus using only computational techniques, all in real-time. This would significantly improve current OCT systems as well as their prospects for intraoperative tumor boundary detection.

Social and Environmental Impact of Co-operatives

The intern will work with the project supervisors to develop an online tool to capture 15 key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect social and environment performance of co-operatives in Canada. The intern will attend focus meeting with the supervisors in order to identify the co-operative participants’ requirements. The intern will complete a systems mock-up and detailed user requirements document that will be approved by CEARC. An online web-based system will be developed to gather submitted data, produce benchmarks and functionality to create on-demand reports. The Web-based tool is a key component of CEARC’s social and environmental reporting index project. While the tool will be designed to capture 15 KPIs for this project, it will have the capability to enable the CEARC systems administrator to add many other categories over time. This system will provide significant benefits for CEARC as a mechanism to identify and report KPIs that reflect a way array of co-operative performance elements.

Voids of Speculation – The uncanny ruins of failed urbanism

This research explores ghost-cities in Hanoi, Vietnam, built mostly for speculative reasons, often lingering uninhabited for a prolonged period of economic uncertainty. The dive of Vietnam in market economy in the 90’s called for a large scale restructuration of what has previously been uncontrolled rapid urbanization processes. At the beginning of the 2000s, at least 50 large satellite
towns have been planned for Hanoi as a way to quench lingering housing shortages and draw real-estate profits. Bigger projects were divided in New Urban Areas projects (Khu do thi moi, KDTM). A few of these KDTM famously became ghost-cities, with owners even unable to put hands on their properties as some infrastructures remain unfinished. This research explores what happens to livability and to the urban condition when the habitat is synthesized mostly for economic efficiency, particularly in a time lapse where this performance is not even fulfilled.

Upheaval buckling behavior of offshore oil pipeline

Over the past few decades, offshore oil and gas development activities have grown rapidly to meet the global energy demand. Canada is one of the major offshore oil and gas producing countries in the world and relies on pipelines for transporting offshore oil and gas. While the pipeline is considered as one of the most viable mean of transporting oil and gas, the consequence of pipeline failure is disastrous, affecting the economy, public health and the environment. It is therefore of paramount importance to keep the pipeline safe from any potential damage. The upheaval buckling is a mode of deformation that overstresses the pipe wall and may lead to pipeline failure. In this research, upheaval buckling of offshore pipeline will be investigated in order to develop improved design method to safeguard pipeline against upheaval buckling.
