Spatio-Temporal Resolution Enhancement for HighFrame Rate Display

The quality of projected video plays a huge role in the digital projector market. Methods to increase the quality of projected video at lower costs are constantly being researched. A promising approach to reducing cost and increasing the quality of viewed video is the combination of up-converting the frame rate of high-resolution video and projecting higher resolution video using lower resolution, high frame rate projectors. This project investigates a method of video quality enhancement where a low-resolution, high-frame rate projector will be
used to project high-resolution, low-frame rate content such that the projected video appears to viewers as a high-frame rate and high-resolution video. Unlike existing methods using multiple projectors, our method will be developed for single projectors with opto-mechanical image shifter. In addition, our method will determine the optimal, content and shifter motion compensated sub-frame samples and sub-pixel shifts, required for a good approximation of the anticipated high-quality content.

An Acoustic Analysis of the Vowels of Mebêngôkre

This project will be conducted by Myriam Lapierre (University of Ottawa), and will be supervised by Professor Andrés Salanova (University of Ottawa) and Professor Luciana Storto (Universidade de São Paulo). The aim of the project is to provide a thorough phonetic analysis
of the vowels of Mebengokre, a Jê language spoken in the Brazilian Amazon. Mebengokre has 17 vowels (Salanova, 2001), which is a strikingly large system. The methedology involves obtaining recordings of spoken words during an experimental task, and the analysis involves measuring the values of several acoustic cues that serve in identifying vowels. This data will be used in order to explore the theoretical implications of such a large vowel inventory by comparing the data from Mebengokre with the predictions made by the Dispersion-Focalization Theory (Schwartz et al. 1997, 2005), which predicts the organization of vowel systems based on the idea that different vowels are perceptually distinct and that phonological contrasts exploit acoustic differences that are more salient to the human ear.

Production of bioactive peptides through high ydrostatic pressure assisted enzymatic digestion of egg white

Egg yolk contains IgY antibodies that target various infectious disease and food allergens. IGY Inc is a company focused on utilizing chicken immune system for antibody production. IgY antibody contains 0.64% of total wet egg yolk, after cracking each egg IGY Inc generates 60-70g of liquid egg white which has a low commercial value. Egg white is a rich source of dietary protein and also known for its biological activities. Therefore the primary objective of this study is to develop a pragmatic technique to hydrolyze egg white to produce peptides with biological activity. Later on the anti-oxidant activity of the hydrolysate will be tested to identify the most potent hydrolysate. Thus the results from this research project will provide information to develop a new Natural Health Product (NHP) for future pre-clinical studies.

Can cats protect people from Lyme disease?

Domestication of cats is thought to date to the Neolithic and to have been driven by the need to control rodents that destroyed stored food. In developed countries, modern pest control methods have rendered the traditional role of cats largely redundant and the hunting tendency of cats is now viewed in a more negative light as contributing to the decline of birds. However, increasing residential use of formerly agricultural and wild areas are leading to increased human and wildlife contact. This increased contact leads to an increased frequency of zoonoses, diseases transferred from animals to humans. Of these zoonoses, Lyme disease is one of the most frequent in North
America. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection contracted from the bite of an infected tick. Ticks need wild animals to provide them with their blood meals and wild animals also acts as reservoirs of the Lyme disease bacteria. This work will accomplish two goals. First, we will determine the key wild animal reservoirs that support tick populations. Second, we will assess how frequently these wild animal species are predated by cats. TO BE CONT’D

Adenovirus vaccination platform

Vaccine industry is evolving towards more efficient manufacturing systems. Adenovirus vectored vaccines are among new promising approaches for more efficient vaccines design and production. Recombinant Ad (rAd) can be used as gene deliver vector carrying different antigens for delivery into Ag-presenting cells (APC) eliciting a targeted immune response. Alternatively, antigens can be exposed on the rAd capsid, thus presenting the antigen to the immune system. Ad-vectored vaccines are safe, stable, have a broad tropism and have a large insert capacity and can be delivered orally. Production of adenovirus-vectored vaccines is a key aspect in the acceleration of Ad-based vaccines clinical evaluation. Although the rAd manufacturing is a straightforward cell culture production process, there are several aspects of the bioprocess that remain to be optimized in order to reach high yields and high quality Ad-vaccines. Critical process parameters related to the cell culture production platform, the downstream processing and the quantification methods will be reassessed for higher productivity and process robustness.

Advanced combustion mode control for modern engines

Internal combustion (IC) engines are widely used in the world and in the following decades, it will remain the major source of transportation power. However, the emissions of IC engines, are demonstrated have negative impact on the human health as well as the whole environment. Hence, stringent emission norms are continuously imposed on IC engines. This project focuses on reducing the emissions and increasing efficiency simultaneously by applying advanced combustion modes. The estimation and control methods regarding the advance combustion mode will be designed and validated through experimental study and test, which will lay solid foundation for further research.

Évaluation de l’efficience des institutions de microfinance (IMF) comme moyen de financement du secteur privé. Étude de cas au Panama

Ce projet de recherche consiste en une évaluation d’impact d’un nouvel outil de financement du secteur privé mis en place au Panama par Développement International Desjardins (DID) et financé par le fonds d’investissement Gestion FONIDI Inc., le Centre Financier aux Entreprises (CFE). L’objectif de ce dernier est d’octroyer des prêts de taille moyenne aux entreprises qui sont trop grandes pour profiter du microcrédit traditionnel mais pas encore suffisamment développées pour avoir accès aux banques commerciales. Après quatre années d’opération, DID et Gestion FONIDI souhaitent obtenir une évaluation de la portée d’action du CFE-Panama ainsi qu’une mesure de son impact sur l’évolution des entreprises financées et le bien être de ses clients et de leurs familles. Pour répondre à ce besoin, nous utilisons une base de données (collectée en juillet 2014 lors d’un premier stage) contenant des informations d’entrepreneurs panaméens clients ou non du CFE. En appliquant la méthodologie de la Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) sur deux groupes cibles, les clients du CFE et les non clients, nous isolerons l’effet causé par l’accès au financement du CFE sur la dynamique de croissance des entreprises clientes ainsi que le niveau de vie de leurs propriétaires.

Modélisation hydraulique et des sédiments pour la conception des bassins de sédimentation des sites de récolte de tourbe

Dans les sites de récolte de tourbe, un réseau de canaux de drainage est souvent nécessaire afin de permettre aux équipements d’accéder au site et d’assécher la tourbe à récolter. Des bassins de sédimentation sont fréquemment installés à la sortie de ces réseaux de drainage pour empêcher la tourbe et les minéraux en suspension d’atteindre les cours d’eau environnants. Dans un souci d’amélioration globale de la gestion de l’eau, les producteurs de tourbe horticole du Québec souhaitent pouvoir disposer d’un outil convivial de dimensionnement des bassins de sédimentation. L’objectif principal du projet est de développer un tel outil. Pour ce faire, des modèles de simulation mathématique seront utilisés pour évaluer l’efficacité de bassins de sédimentation de diverses dimensions, dans les différentes conditions rencontrées sur les sites de récolte de tourbe horticole au Québec. Ces modèles de simulation seront préalablement ajustés à partir de mesures prises sur le terrain. Les résultats des simulations seront par la suite analysés afin de mettre en place des relations simples pour le dimensionnement des bassins de sédimentation. Ces relations seront finalement intégrées dans un outil de dimensionnement convivial qui pourra être utilisé de manière autonome par les partenaires industriels au terme du projet.

Artificial Cognition about Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle

My research topic is on the driver behaviors prediction for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) in the complex driving environment. The driver behaviors include lane changing, car following, acceleration, deceleration, etc. The work in this project will focus on establishing two
models about lane changing prediction in the high way and the driver behavior prediction in the intersection based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. Therefore, the UAV can make corresponding adjustments to prevent the possible dangerous situation. The expected
outcomes will be two advanced models for UAV to predict behaviors ahead, which will help UAV to drive intelligently and safely.

Evaluation of Phostrol Uptake and Efficacy against Late Blight and Verticillium Wilt in Potato Cultivars Grown in Nova Scotia

This proposed project is aimed at using a newly approved environmentally-friendly fungicide Phostrol to control the most serious diseases of late blight and Verticillium wilt in potato production. Current control strategies for late blight control are harmful to the environment; with the removal of the fumigation practice, there is no alternative options for growers to control Verticillium pathogens in soil that cause almost 30% yield reduction in the Maritime region. This proposed research will provide valuable data for these two disease targets. The outcome will be important for Engage Agro to promote the product for sale and important for potato growers to manage these two diseases during production, as well as protect the environment.

Population Survey and Mitigation of Amphibian Roadkill along Heart Lake Road- Phase 2-Continuation

Heart Lake Road (Brampton, Ontario) bisects a Provincially Significant Wetland. Increases in traffic volumes on the road have led to large numbers of road kill during the spring migration. The TRCA has been monitoring the road kill for two years and has found that thousands of frogs and toads as well as hundreds of turtles, including species at risk (SAR) are killed every spring and early summer. The TRCA in partnership with York University is assessing the significance of the mortality to the local population as well as mitigating the road kill by designing a wildlife eco-passage under the road.
