Effect of Fluid, Rock, and Simulator Variables on Liquid Solvent Heavy Oil Extraction

Heavy oil and bitumen in-situ extraction aided by solvent addition is a potential EOR technology that provides an alternative to the current thermal processes. However, its mechanism is not well understood yet. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of solvent based processes by history matching experimental data using a reservoir simulator developed by Shell. At the end of this project, it is expected to find the variables which govern the behavior of the system and also find a suitable approach to history match the data in a short computing time. The benefit to Shell will be new insight into the field-scale modeling of solvent based in situ recovery processes gained by applying some methodologies that have been developed during the execution of the intern’s research project at the University of Calgary.

Process flow improvement at a Parallam mill using simulation modelling

In this project, the intern will study the impact of staffing changes and process improvements on the throughput of the remanufacturing department of a Vancouver Parallam mill. The intern will work closely with the Management Team and department employees to conduct the analysis. The objective of the work is to develop new and modify existing simulation models to evaluate potential alternatives in order to improve the productivity and efficiency of the remanufacturing department of the mill. In a previous project, it was determined that the packaging station was the bottleneck of the department, and it was recommended that further research be conducted to reduce the bottleneck. The developed simulation models will be used to evaluate the impact on throughput of several scenarios where staffing changes are made and then combined with changes in the processes of the department. Recommendations will be provided to the partner organization to assist the facility with their goal of increasing their throughput.

Transient Production Decline Analysis of Unconventional Reservoirs with Realistic Heterogeneity and Fracture Morphology

The proposed research is a multi-disciplinary project, which aims at improving existing theories and developing innovative technologies to unlock Canada’s oil and gas resources in a more sustainable way. Theoretical models derived from physics and mathematics are to be examined with real data, and new approaches will be developed to face the technical challenges. Mentorship and realistic field feedbacks from the industry are of great importance to the intern’s research work. Available daily production data from the operating company are used to diagnose the physical conditions of underground oil and gas pools, and to help decision makers plan future activities with higher level of confidence and thus reduce risks of project failure and environmental impact to the public.

Coupes partielles dans des peuplements de la forêt boréale mélangée : Réponses à l’échelle du peuplement, de l’arbre et du sous-bois à un gradient d’intensités sylvicoles

À l’instar d’autres juridictions, le Québec prend un virage écologique en matière d’aménagement forestier. Ce virage l’amène, entre autres, à expérimenter de nouvelles pratiques sylvicoles dont les coupes qui seraient inspirées de la dynamique naturelle des forêts et qui pourraient éventuellement remplacer, en partie, des coupes totales actuellement généralisées en forêt boréale. Avant de mettre en application à grande échelle ces nouvelles approches sylvicoles, il importe de les tester et évaluer, sur une période assez longue, dans cadre expérimental rigoureux. Le présent projet se situe dans ce contexte et vise à évaluer les effets de différents types de coupes « alternatives » expérimentales réalisées il y a 12 ans. Les effets en question incluent la survie, la croissance et la régénération des arbres et la biodiversité des plantes de sous-bois. Ces résultats aideront Tembec à développer des nouvelles pratiques forestières « écosystémiques » et socialement acceptables.

GPU Performance Auto-tuning Using Machine Learning

Optimizing a program for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) is critical for performance, yet remains a challenge due to the non-intuitive interactions among the optimizations and the GPU architecture. Automatic optimization tuning for a GPU is demanding particularly given the exploding number of mobile GPU variants in the market. We explore the use of machine learning in optimization auto-tuning, where a statistical model is automatically built to correlate the (measured) performance of some training programs with their characteristics, and is then used to predict the best optimization configuration for a new program without execution. The resulting auto-tuner relieves the programmer from either building an analytical system model by hand or spending a massive amount of time enumerating optimization configurations. This research will form the intern’s PhD thesis, and its outcome has the potential to significantly enhance the productivity of writing high-performance programs for Qualcomm GPUs.

Biomolecular Structure Analysis to Accelerate Develoment of New Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies

Manufacturing of consistently high quality products is the commitment of the pharmaceutical industry. To achieve this, new products must be thoroughly tested and the results meet government-approved product specifications. Improving existing and adopting improved analytical technologies for product testing ensure the production of safe and effective products. This is particularly critical for the manufacturing of biologic products which, relative to small molecular drugs, have a larger size, are more complex in structure and are thus more difficult to characterize. Modern instrumental analyses, including Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Capillary Electrophoresis, are capable of high resolution and precision analyses of primary and higher order biomolecule structures. Using these cutting-edge technologies, we are proposing to develop new methodologies to improve biomolecule characterization. The proposed internships will provide training in these advanced technologies and thus foster the development of a talent pool of highly qualified Canadians with expertise to contribute to research-based biopharmaceutical industries.

Modification of wake/sleep identification algorithms in an innovative actigraph platform against polysomnography in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Disturbed sleep is a common feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ranking third in frequency behind shortness of breath and fatigue. Actigraphy is a non-invasive technique for monitoring sleep at patient’s own home and is an attractive alternative to expensive laboratory based tests like polysomnography. Unfortunately, no studies have tested the accuracy of actigraphs in patients with COPD. The actigraph designed for this study (Ezibreath, Manf: Agartee) is innovative as it can measure many variables in patients with COPD and send the results remotely to care providers. At this stage, Agartee must evaluate Ezibreath’s accuracy to measure the parameters in COPD patients for which they will work with Nafeez Syed, a graduate student and Dr. Jordan Guenette, an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia for assessing and modifying sleep/wake logarithms. The study will directly compare the designed actigraph to polysomnography in 10 clinically stable patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.

The role of hemoglobin-cytarabine in the selective death of acute myeloid leukemia cells

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a blood cancer with very poor prognosis, especially for patients older than 60 years of age. This is in part because of the severe toxicity of medicines available. Less harmful medicines are needed to better treat older patients. Therapure
Biopharma Inc. has chemically linked the standard toxic chemotherapy medicine called cytarabine to the blood protein hemoglobin to make a potentially safer and more effective medicine to treat AML. In collaboration with the University Of Waterloo School Of Pharmacy,
Therapure Biopharma Inc. will continue to test how well hemoglobin-cytarabine kills AML cells in the laboratory. These experiments will lay the ground work for a future study in patients to test the safety of hemoglobin-cytarabine in patients.

Strategies, success, and social interactions: an evolutional approach to video game behaviour

Les designers de jeu vidéo accordent maintenant beaucoup de liberté à leurs joueurs qui coopèrent et combattent pour les différentes ressources dans de vastes univers virtuels en constante évolution. Les comportements observés dans les jeux vidéo multi-joueurs s’approchent de plus en plus à ceux des animaux dans leur écosystème. Ainsi, l’ensemble des joueurs d’un jeu s’organise souvent en une
communauté complexe et dynamique parfois difficile à comprendre et à prévoir. Nous proposons donc d’étudier le comportement des joueurs selon les différents principes de l’écologie et de l’évolution. La théorie évolutive et les techniques utilisées pour analyser le comportement animal peuvent faciliter le travail des gestionnaires de jeu en ligne en développant des prédictions solides sur les dynamiques de joueurs. D’autre part, ces données comportementales au sein d’environnements complexes mais contrôlés élargiront notre compréhension de l’écologie et de l’évolution des comportements.

Quantitative Digital Pathology Technique as a Tool for Cancer Progression

PCa is the second and third leading cause of cancer death for American and Canadian men, respectively. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening is an effective method to diagnose PCa at early stages, however, over-diagnosis/treatment following PSA is detrimental to life quality. Although Active Surveillance (AS) is a very appealing approach for men with early stage PCa, more than 30% of AS patients will progress and require treatment. Moreover, Current diagnostic methods do not provide a sufficiently accurate and reliable means for stratifying risk because they cannot delineate the aggressive, potential lethal from the indolent, slow growing PCa cases. Our goal is to develop simple, objective, automated, widely available and cost-effective QDP tools that will provide reliable prognostic information for differentiating indolent from aggressive prostate cancers. Success with this work will improve life quality of patients significantly and decrease medical costs.
