Dimensionality, performance, and stress testing of multifactor equity models

A global multi-factor equity model had been previously developed. It employs a group of sector indices for different regions using Dow Jones, MSCI, and indices of local stock exchanges. PCA is used to produce independent factor variables, and then specific equities are regressed against the PCA factors. By transforming factors back into real world variables (indices) stress tests against movements in the original indices show their impact in a global equity portfolio. One question to be addressed is how many PCA dimensions should be selected for each equity. A systematic study of the performance of the methodology is needed, and potential changes to the methodology explored. The methodology will be extended to ETFs and mutual funds to better measure and manage investors’ risks. A systematic study will be undertaken to analyze and measure the performance, stability, and risk management utility of the approach.

Assessing comprehensive life history and phenotypic impacts of radiation on a short-lived model of aging and free radical biology: linear versus hormetic dose responses

The goal of our proposal is to clarify the impacts of low doses of radiation on key biological aspects in a short-lived animal model (the cricket). Current assessments of radiation exposure mainly emphasize cancer. Our model will allow us to more broadly assess important features like growth, maturation, survivorship, reproduction and life span as well as specific measures related to sensory, cognitive and motor functions, stress resistance and immunity. Radiation causes damage by creating reactive molecules that can attack cells and their DNA. At low doses, however, such molecules are essential biological signals. In particular we will test a theory called “hormesis” that suggests that low-dose radiation may actually improve rather than harm biological functions. Such information will help our industry partner to better address the concerns of the public and regulatory agencies regarding radiation safety. In addition, we will examine whether antioxidant supplements can offset negative impacts of high-dose radiation and provide additional health benefits at low doses of radiation exposure.

Economic Outcomes and Retention Rate of BC Provincial Nominees: Comparisons with Immigrants from Other Classes

This project will analyze and research explanations for differences in economic outcomes and retention rate between immigration classes, with a special focus on the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Programs. The study will emphasize on comparisons between Provincial Nominees and other economic immigrants, and between immigrants in British Columbia and other provinces. The data that will be used is the Longitudinal Immigration Database, which links immigrant landing records to tax information. In addition to descriptive analysis, this paper will use regression methods to explore explanations for differences in economic outcomes and assimilation rates. Knowing the factors that contribute to the economic advantage or disadvantage of different classes of immigrants could help the Ministry of Regional Economic and Skills Development design better policies and programs. Such policies or programs would be more efficient in selecting nominees and in helping immigrants’ settlement and advancement within British Columbia.

Generation of production data for highly variable manufacturing

Mass customization relates to the ability to provide customized products or services through flexible processes in high volumes and at reasonably low costs. Massuni is well into the development of a system that vertically integrates a user-facing interface that enables unskilled users to design and customize individual pieces of furniture, with the ability to efficiently produce items by applying the principles of “mass customization” and “Digital manufacturing”. The ultimate goal is a system that specifies every conceivable piece of furniture and has the ability to build this range of products in geographically distributed production cells. In order to reach this goal, a core capability is the translation of the user’s specifications into data for manufacturing. This data takes various forms, including Bills of Materials for supplier procurements, Cut lists for traditional processing steps, CNC code for CNC production operations, and work schedules to optimize labor usage.

Research of Real-Time Collaboration and Data Visualization on Online Platforms

Municipalities from all over the world use asset management software as a decision-support tool for infrastructure planning and management. Executive-level users and financial planners need to understand, adjust and collaborate over the data stored in these systems. The objective of the project will be threefold: first, I will investigate new methods for a rich real-time collaboration experience on online platforms. Second, I will find new ways to visualize aggregated output data. Third, both goals will meet and I will research about ways in which users can interact and manipulate data visualizations in real time. The results for the company will be a more collaborative, with richer data visualizations, version of their core platform.

Patient-Centricity: Design, Marketing and Organizational Requisites

With the growth and prevalence of digital and social media, patients have started to gain more control of their health management. This has led to their having a greater say in the design, production, delivery, and marketing of drugs. Sooner than later, more and more companies will be listening to patients while trying to find innovative ways to incorporate these concerns in their manufacturing and delivery of products in a competitive market. By tapping into the collective wisdom of patients, practitioners and organizations, this research will examine the role of this new generation of empowered patients in the design, marketability and competitiveness of pharmaceutical products. The intern and the partner organization will study patient needs and the practices of healthcare organizations to arrive at a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers will also find barriers and suggest ways to help pharmaceutical companies address patient concerns in their strategies more readily.

Autonomous Modeling of High-Resolution X-ray Spectra Using Robust Global Optimization Methods

High-energy astrophysics is a young, fast-growing field that has opened a new window to the “invisible” universe. X-ray spectroscopy is a particularly powerful tool to discover the nature of highenergy sources, since their physical properties are inferred by comparing physical models to observations. Therefore, methods for fitting models to data are of crucial importance. The standard approach is via local optimization. However, these methods suffer from a number of limitations. At the U. of Manitoba, we are developing software based on evolutionary algorithms targeted to perform global optimization for X-ray spectroscopy. These advanced methods will be particularly instrumental for multi-parameter models and high-fidelity X-ray data. The project is also timely with the upcoming
(early 2016) launch of the X-ray mission, ASTRO-H, led by Japan partnering with NASA, ESA and the Canadian Space Agency, and with the U. of Manitoba as an active member. This project will place the Manitoba in a leadership role by providing an innovative software package for the X-ray astronomy community, and is directly relevant to nQube Technical Computing, dramatically illustrating the
capabilities of their optimization methods on challenging and high-profile model fitting problems.

Effect of surface pretreatment and zinc coating on the corrosion behaviour of Mg alloys for biodegradable applications.

Magnesium alloys are good candidates for the development of biodegradable implants for cardiovascular and orthopedic applications. A biodegradable implant would perform its desired function and then disappear, avoiding long-term complications and the need of a second surgery to withdraw the implant. Magnesium is biocompatible and its alloys have good mechanical properties, which are required properties for implant applications. However, they corrode (dissolve) too fast in the body, leading to loss of mechanical properties and premature implant failure. An interesting approach to decrease the corrosion rate of Mg alloys is the use of protective coatings. This project is aimed at the development of biocompatible zinc coatings in order to better control the implant dissolution rate. A zinc coating would dissolve at a lower rate extending the implant lifetime. The proposed research will allow us to understand the dissolution process of zinc-coated Mg alloys and to produce coatings with better protective properties.

Minimizing the Spread of Information in a Social Network by Blocking Links

Social network is becoming an increasingly popular media for information sharing. However, undesirable contents such as malicious rumors can spread through social networks among individuals. The technique to prevent undesirable content can also be applied in parenting control. As the more and more teenagers are using social network today, it is important to minimize the spread of undesirable contents into their ends. Thus, developing effective strategies for preventing the spread of undesirable spreading in a social network is an important research issue. This research is trying to design a new model to control the spread of contamination that is not proposed by previous works. The expected outcome of this research is to come up with a research paper that presents new models and algorithms for minimizing undesirable content’s propagation in a social network.
