Mapping, geochemistry and mineralisation of the Laird Lake area, Red Lake, Ontario

Shear zone-hosted, or orogenic, gold deposits are a significant mineral resource in the Superior Province of Canada. This study will investigate the nature and genesis of gold mineralisation in the Red Lake area of the Uchi subprovince. Recent exploration by Bounty Gold Corp. has identified Au mineralisation in the Laird Lake area close to the giant deposits of Red lake. This study will characterise the nature and tectonic setting of the host rocks to the mineralisation in order to provide a framework for subsequent studies into the Au-bearing fluids themselves. The mineralisation will be investigated using a combination of mapping, petrology, alteration studies and isotope work (Sm-Nd, O and H). Results from this study will be compared to orogenic gold deposits in Canada and Australia leading to significant advances in our understanding of this deposit type and the development of new exploration models.

Mathematics Mapping project

To support the development of a developers’ toolkit for educational digital applications that use mathematics content, Erudite Science is creating a library of mathematics content and functions. Because mathematics is such a vast field, typical application functions such as search, manipulation, and inference, frequently return irrelevant results. The search process can be facilitated through the use of semantically structured resource stores. The Mathematics KnowledgeMap project will develop a knowledge representation model that offers the logic behind the organization of information for our mathematics content retrieval system. The representation model will feed into an associative index that facilitates search and information retrieval within mathematics curriculum resources. The resulting index is designed for use by Erudite Science’s content management system. The intern will perform content analysis of the mathematics curriculum documents, and contribute to the documentation and semantic graphing of the mathematical domains, learning expectations and problem constraints represented within the Ontario and Quebec mathematics curricula.

Effect of Action-Effect Association on Modulation of Attentional Capture in Aiming Movements

The purpose of this project is to determine if associations between actions and their effects can modulate attention capture. This goal will be achieved by measuring reaction time interference and monitoring eye movements while participants reach towards targets in the presence of a distractor. Participants will reach towards targets that are onset (appearance) or offset (disappearance) events in the presence of offset or onset distractors, respectively. This task will be done both before and after completing a session where participants will execute a series of free-choice reaching movements to targets that will disappear once they touch them. This phase should elicit a novel action-effect association between reaching movements (action) and offset events (effects). It is hypothesized that following training there will be increased distraction caused by offset events. These findings will indicate how associations between actions and effects drive attentional capture and may be useful in developing new human-computer interfaces.

Malaria Detection using Optofluidics and Retinal Imaging

The proposed project is to develop an affordable point-of-care malaria detection system. The system would have two modes of operation. The screening mode is based on optofluidics, a combination of optics, and microfluidics. Optofluidics can be used to analyze blood samples to detect malaria biomarkers. Imaging of the blood samples can be done quickly and without laborious procedures, which is a benefit for remote areas that are affected the most by malaria. The second mode involves retinal imaging that provides additional information that can distinguish severe malaria from other parasitic diseases. This is important for correctly identifying malaria, and determining the appropriate course of treatment. The project is expected to result in new detection tools that will make malaria detection quicker and more reliable, as well as being inexpensive and useable in remote locations.

A hydrologic-economic model for urban wastewater management planning

Provision of adequate wastewater management in urban centres of developing countries is becoming increasingly challenging due to rapid population growth and emergence of informal settlements. To assist in effective planning of future wastewater management systems,
mathematical models have been developed to estimate the performance of various wastewater management strategies. However, the models have only focused on conventional sewerage systems without considering small, decentralized wastewater management systems that can be more flexible and cost effective in responding to rapid urbanization. To address this gap, the proposed study aims to (1) develop a simulation model that integrates socioeconomic forecasts (e.g. population growth, income level) with centralized and decentralized wastewater management strategies, and to (2) apply the developed model to the case of Mumbai, India to demonstrate the utility of the tool in identify promising wastewater management strategies. The study will ultimately provide a platform for evaluating decentralized wastewater systems in the context of rapid urbanization around the world.

Assessing the impacts of fisheries, hydroelectric infrastructure, and temperature on Gates Creek sockeye salmon migration

The annual return of sockeye salmon to the Fraser River is a vital part of British Columbia’s environment, economy, and First Nations heritage. However, sockeye salmon can face numerous challenges during their migration including fisheries, warm water temperatures, and dams. Recent population declines in sockeye salmon have prompted concerns over the challenges salmon face during their migration and studies are needed to determine how the these challenges combine to affect salmon. In partnership with St’át’imc Eco Resources, interns from the University of British Columbia will study how one population of Fraser River sockeye salmon – Gates Creek sockeye – are
affected by fisheries encounters in the lower Fraser River, warming water temperatures, and migration past hydroelectric dams on their home stream, the Seton River. Results of this project will inform fisheries management and dam operations to benefit salmon while providing economic benefits to the community served by St’át’imc Eco Resources.

DeepCity

DeepCity is a strategy game initially for iOS, Android and desktop that is set in a strange, fascinating near future of mega-storms and scarcity. The goal: Survive. Defend. Regenerate. DeepCity advances concepts of resilience, urban ecology, sustainable futures, and systems-thinking within urban environments for players. The DeepCity prototype research project will provide the student with an opportunity to be creatively engaged in researching and making a new game for change, benefitting from mentorship and collaboration with accomplished industry professionals and academic researchers. While collaborating on design and programming of the game prototype, the intern will focus on the research question, how does sustainable systems research and urban resilience design practice translate into a game, and what is an effective way to integrate this thinking into the game design and development process? Evergreen CityWorks will benefit from the project through the advancement of DeepCity game research and development, to make an effective and popular game that can serve to expand the public understanding of urban resilience problems and solutions.

Apelinergic system as a promising target for myocardialdysfunction and shock

Cardiovascular disease and sepsis are two of the biggest public health problems in North America. Increasing evidence further suggests they are linked. Recent studies in human healthy volunteers and in chronic heart failure patients have highlighted the apelin system as a potential target for drug development. We therefore propose to fully validate pre-clinically the potential of apelin as a new target for cardiovascular disease and septic shock. By participating in cutting-edge research, the partner organization will gain further competitive advantage in the cardiovascular pharmacology market, and the joint publications will also increase the visibility of the company.

Bridging Two Worlds: Culturally Responsive Career Development Programs and Services to Meet the Needs of Newcomer and Refugee Children in Canada

This three-year research program investigates schools and communities in Calgary, Winnipeg, Charlottetown and St. John’s to learn about their shared and disparate approaches to career development for refugee and newcomer children. This knowledge will prepare counsellors and teachers who provide career development programs and services and it will create stronger networks between community partners, universities organizations and schools throughout Canada. Interns, who contribute to this research program, will be part of a multi-agency support network to facilitate the provision of career development programs and services for newcomer/refugee youth. Interns will contribute to the development of recommendations for policy and practice and they will contribute to creating professional development activities/lessons to prepare counsellors to assist with career decision making for youth from newcomer/refugee backgrounds. The overarching goal is to contribute new knowledge to the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling and to provide
counsellors with knowledge and practical resources to help provide career counselling to middle and secondary level newcomer and refugee youth in Canada.

Landscapes of Erasure: geographies of absence in Michoacan.

The state of Michoacan in Mexico, where most of the drug war comes from, has a long history of exploitation against indigenous people and the natural resources concentrated in the state. Michoacan’s vast system of forests has been subjected to years of illegal wood trafficking, a fact very well known but little exposed, pushing the indigenous ‘purepechas’ to become both slaves and accomplices of those crimes. Drug trafficking clashes with civil war and indigenous resistance struggles with their right for local jurisdiction of culture and natural resources. My
research attempts to investigate how violence materializes in space, producing regulated territories that otherwise would just be a natural physical environment. For example, how the drug wars in Michoacan, a crime that leaves no apparent material residue, shapes the geographical and the social?. My interdisciplinary research combines social studies with studio arts practice, usually presented at museums, galleries and research centers.

Developing a cold weather admixture system for low temperature masonry construction

Low temperatures in cold seasons generate diverse challenges for the construction industry in many northern countries. Construction based on cementitious material suffer from the low hydration rate at low temperatures and the possible damage caused by water to ice transition at below freezing temperatures. The common solution for this problem is to heat and protect the raw and finished material until it reaches an acceptable strength. The other solution, still under exploration by many authors, and adopted in this work, is to use chemical admixtures to avoid or at least to reduce the protection time of the finished cementitious material. This project aims to explore the possibility of combining commercial admixtures and test them as antifreeze agents for mortar used in masonry construction. The other objective is to understand the chemical active process of mortar hardening at low temperature when the admixture is used.

The I-Score Study: The development and validation of a patient-reported measure of antiretroviral therapy’s interference with life.

Many HIV-positive persons on HIV medication have trouble taking this medication as prescribed by their doctor (treatment adherence). This threatens the long-term ability of the drugs to preserve a patient’s health. For 1 in 5 in Canada, their medication does not work, in part because of adherence problems. Furthermore, doctors and their HIV-positive patients do not always discuss treatment difficulties and how to resolve them in sufficient depth. The I-Score Study is a 24-month research project that will develop a questionnaire to be filled out by patients as a part of routine HIV care. This questionnaire will concern factors that patients in France and Canada report interfere with their ability to take their HIV medication. Its aims are to ensure that care is more patient-centered and better addresses the challenges of lifelong adherence. With access to this Interference-Score, it is expected that patient-doctor communication about adherence will improve; adherence problems will be more quickly identified and addressed; treatments will be better adapted to patients’ needs and concerns;
and ultimately, adherence difficulties will be reduced.
