Impact avant et après la mise en place d’une plateforme web de gestion d’horaires en milieu hospitalier

Les hôpitaux et autres établissements de la santé font faces à des problèmes de planification et d’ordonnancement du personnel. Les travaux recensés mettent davantage l’emphase sur la confection des horaires de travail des infirmières et auxiliaires que sur la création d’horaires des médecins. Plusieurs outils issus du domaine industriel ont été utilisés et adaptés au milieu hospitalier pour répondre à des problématiques de planification et d’allocation des ressources. Le but du projet est d’évaluer un système informatique qui assure la planification et la gestion des horaires en tenant compte des règles en milieu hospitalier, tout en optimisant la qualité des horaires et temps nécessaire à leur obtention. L’objectif de ce projet est d’évaluer l’impact pré- et post-implémentation d’un outil de planification et de gestion d’horaires. Les résultats permettront de confirmer l’efficience et l’efficacité d’un outil dans un contexte d’optimisation de la planification et de la gestion des horaires en milieu hospitalier.

Dispersal and Recovery of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in Human Altered Landscapes of Manitoba

This research is designed to assess various factors related to the dispersal and recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in Manitoba. As the Peregrine Falcon continues to be designated “Endangered” in Manitoba and “Threatened” nationally, data regarding survivorship, mortality factors, habitat use, and movements are required to guide future management activities related to the provincial Peregrine conservation effort. Satellite tracking of 20 juvenile Peregrine Falcons will enable the collection of these data. Spatial analysis of Peregrine locations and detailed assessments of flight trajectories will enable the delineation of sensitive habitats where Peregrines may face an increased risk of collision with artificial landscape features, including utility lines. By identifying these areas, potential impacts arising from human activities may be assessed and mitigated if necessary.

Lower Cost Forging Control

Turbine discs are critical rotating parts of aircraft turbofan jet engines and are manufactured as separate units. In order for production acceptance of the forging technique used to manufacture turbine discs, a large amount of testing is conducted. This testing completed on raw materials and finished products includes a series of tensile and Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) specimen testing. Based on the test data, this proposed research aims to determine a relationship between tensile properties and LCF life. This research will also explore modern analytical tools such as surrogate models in efforts to construct predictive tools to effectively and reliably reduce the amount of testing required on critical rotating parts.

Development and Implementation of a Water Analytics Framework: Intelligent Operations for Water (IOW)

Within a watershed, data are collected on various aspects of water (amount, withdrawals, returns, contaminant concentrations) by multiple groups, yet rarely shared at the basin scale. To reduce data “siloing” and make collected data available to multiple users interested in water management within a watershed context, data from multiple sources must be combined. Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets (ACWA) and IBM will partner to create Intelligent Operations for Water (IOW), a data sharing platform that will allow multiple users to contribute to, and benefit from, multiple sources of data related to water in the Bow River Basin. The platform is general and can therefore be used in other basins where end users want to make smart decisions with multiple sources of data.

Cardiac Surgery among the Frail and Elderly Towards Optimal Decision Making

The impact of frailty on the ultimate functional recovery, independence, and quality of life among elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery is not known. This study was done to explore the association between frailty and cardiac surgery outcomes. We will investigate independent living status and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in frail, elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery using a more sensitive measure of frailty than provided in our previous work. We anticipate that frail patients will experience higher rates of mortality; major complication; and prolonged institutional care. These outcomes will inform future decision making processes surrounding cardiac surgery for frail elderly patient.

Caractérisation des performances mécaniques et thermiques d’un tuyau conçu pour la géothermie

Les pompes à chaleur géothermiques sont les systèmes de chauffage et de climatisation les plus efficaces actuellement disponibles pour les bâtiments, sans compter qu’ils utilisent une source d’énergie qui est très propre pour l’environnement. Ces systèmes permettent de stocker (climatisation) ou d’extraire (chauffage) de la chaleur du sous-sol à l’aide d’une thermopompe couplée à un échangeur de chaleur géothermique. Versaprofiles est une compagnie canadienne qui a développé un tuyau unique au monde spécialement conçu pour la géothermie. Ce tuyau permet d’augmenter les performances des échangeurs de chaleur géothermiques, ce qui se traduit par des systèmes qui sont plus compacts et moins coûteux à installer. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de produire les connaissances scientifiques nécessaires à l’optimisation et à la validation des tuyaux dans le cadre d’un projet appliqué de haut niveau technique et scientifique grâce à un partenariat avec l’INRS. Il est attendu que les résultats obtenus au terme de ce projet permettront d’améliorer les performances et les coûts d’installation des systèmes de chauffage géothermique, valorisant ainsi l’utilisation de cette énergie propre pour le chauffage et la climatisation des bâtiments au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde.

Casual Storytelling – How theme, story and setting affect level of engagement in mobile games

Mobile games have been dominating the Canadian video game industry over the past few years. However, the growing number of game releases creates an increased necessity to focus on quality in order to stick out of the mass. While storytelling has proven to greatly increase user
engagement in PC and console games, it is rarely used in mobile games. This creates an opportunity to explore if and how storytelling can be used in mobile games to achieve a similar effect. By analyzing the impact that narrative, theme and setting have on players, we seek to deepen the understanding how these components can be used to create more enjoyable user experiences. This research will be applied to a range of V2 Games projects to improve their product quality.

Student Intentions and Perceptions Survey

The proposed study will involve development and use of a survey tool to solicit responses from grade 6-9 youth across the province, and in-depth analysis of these data. The intern will help pilot the survey tool and make any necessary revisions to the tool prior to implementation. Upon launch of the tool, the intern will manage any user queries during the survey period. The student will conduct the initial quantitative analysis, and the detailed qualitative analysis, and will compose the final report with StFX academic supervisors and the principal investigator. The data from this study will provide valuable insights to the IORE (and the Marine People Partnership, which is the workforce development initiative undertaken at the IORE) into social perceptions of careers in trades & technology, engineering, and ocean sciences (jn Nova Scotia), and of factors that strongly influence the socialization and normalization of those perceptions. These data may signal optimal periods for targeting career counseling and awareness and exposure building program, and will help to inform MPP activities and initiatives relating to the development of intervention and awareness programs aimed

Modeling and HIL Simulation of Modular Multilevel Converters

The proposed internships will be aimed at developing advanced computer (software) and hardware platforms for simulation of modern power-electronic converter systems used in emerging electric power transmission systems. In particular, modular multi-level converter (MMC) simulations will be targeted. These converters are considered the primary candidates for dc systems used to integrate renewable energy sources into the existing grid. These two internships will develop functional models that can be readily used for the analysis and design of systems involving modular multi-level converters. Additionally the two interns will gain knowledge and experience on the requirements of converter systems in the context of the power grid by interacting directly with industry experts.

Nitrogen budget of selected organic and inorganic fertilizer treatments in rice crop production

A nitrogen budget evaluates the balance between the amount of nitrogen entering a field (inputs) and the amount of nitrogen exiting a field (outputs). When analyzing a nitrogen budget, the amount of nitrogen being lost to the surrounding environment can be estimated, as well as
the use efficiency of selected fertilizer treatments. The proposed study will be calculating the nitrogen budget for selected organic and inorganic fertilizer treatments in a rice crop production. The fertilizers treatments being evaluated are: inorganic chemical fertilizer, vermicomposting
and crop residues. The results will determine which fertilizer treatment is most efficient at being used by the rice crop, and which treatment is least harmful to the environment (less nitrogen losses). Expected outcomes are that the organic fertilizer (vermicomposting) will have the
smallest negative environmental impact with fewer nitrogen losses, and that the rice plant will be more efficient at absorbingthis fertilizer treatment.

Growing Canadian Cleantech: Improving Seaforth Energy’s access to the Indian small scale wind turbine market

Seaforth Energy is seeking to expand its small wind turbine business to the rapidly growing Indian market where ‘off-grid’ sustainable energy solutions are needed. In order to assess the feasibility of such an endeavor, this research project will examine the current Indian renewable energy policy and investment climate. However, Seaforth’s success in penetrating this market will ultimately depend on its ability to partner with Indian wind companies that can help distribute it’s products in that jurisdiction. Therefore, this study also seeks to identify the best mechanism for doing so. This project presents opportunities for both technology and idea transfers, which can help Canadian cleanech continue to grow and address energy security and climate change concerns.
