Development of eDNA monitoring tools and protocols for assessment of Western Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) in British Columbia.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling uses genetic material from the soil or water to detect the presence of an organism. This method has been used to detect endangered and introduced species, especially those that are rare and hard to detect. Although using eDNA to detect species has been successful, the method must be altered and changed depending on the species’ environment and
behaviour. One species that would benefit from this method is the endangered Western Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) as it has weather-dependent behaviour that can make it hard to observe in the wild. This project will focus on determining the best eDNA methods for detecting Western Painted Turtles and it will document any possible environmental conditions that affect the ability to collect and analyze eDNA from a water source. The results of this project will be used to determine a reliable method for detecting Western Painted Turtle eDNA.

The development of DPIS and associated dopant chemistry for use in standalone IMS systems

Scintrex Trace Corp. is a company that designs and manufactures systems that detect trace amounts of explosives, narcotics, and other chemicals. Due to the economic and regulatory challenges facing their current systems, they want to develop a new system that can better detect these chemicals without the regulatory and economic burdens. Scintrex is partnering with Professor Jeffrey Smith at Carleton University, and expert in the field of chemical spectroscopy, to develop a new trace detection system. They will use a new, non-radioactive ion source in this new system and will develop the appropriate chemistry required for the optimal use of this system. This will allow Scintrex to produce a new product for security and law enforcement agencies to detect a variety of different chemicals.

Leveraging Historical Development Data to Prioritize Software Testing Efforts

Ericsson Ottawa develops cellular base stations that are components of cellular networks marketed by Ericsson. The base stations serve as the interfaces between mobile devices (cell phones) to wired networks and the internet. These network products require high reliability and availability, which results in the need to perform extensive testing on expensive hardware, replicating complex customer network environments. Some tests are expensive, needing to be run for days, while others take seconds. Test failures have a high cost since they may stop the release process and require intervention by multiple engineers. Our goal is combine test prioritization with empirical software engineering to mine the historical artifacts including past code changes, bugs, peer reviews, and test runs to create statistical models to (1) prioritize tests and (2) help developers categorize and locate the cause of a failure. The outcomes of the project will increase the productivity of Ericsson Ottawa’s 1000 employees and advance the state-of-the-art in understanding what historical measures help in test prioritization and localization. Moreover, the proposed project will help train the HQPs involved on the state-of-the-art in mining software repository data, statistical modeling and software analytics; skills that are becoming increasingly important in our data-driven society.

PLC Design for Wastewater Treatment System

This project is aimed at designing a comprehensive PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system for the automatic operation and control of three wastewater treatment plants under construction in northern Saskatchewan. We are going to use mathematical modeling to complete this task. In order to maximize the safety level of the operating plant, we will carefully investigate and incorporate each possible error case into the PLC system. The deliverables from this project will enable deployment of similar wastewater treatment plants to improve availability of clean water, and to reduce environmental impact, in diverse communities, and particularly in underserved communities in northern Saskatchewan.

The logic of violence in the Mexican Drug War

Most studies on violence employed by criminal groups are based upon the idea that illegal business, much like legal companies, benefit from the stability, certainty, and freedom that can be found in peaceful locations. Because violence generates mistrust, makes trade more costly, and draws the attention of the police, it is usually assumed that criminals will attempt to minimize their use of violence. Thus, while many studies seek to explain violence in the underworld, such studies almost always assume that for criminals, violence remains a last resort, and therefore should not occur frequently. Existing studies, however, do not tell us much about how criminal organizations and the individuals who work for them determine when and
how to employ violence, or how they adapt their use of violence to different situations. Indeed, since violence by organized crime is expected to be uncommon and covert, little research explores cases where such violence becomes both commonplace and overt. In Mexico, for example, the drug cartels have essentially become armies engaged in a full-scale war against one another, and often against the state itself. Thus, the case of Mexico is unusual and requires investigation.

Design and Development of a High-Resolution Sensory System for Detection of Biogenic Signals – Year Two

The main focus of this project will be conducting research and developing novel sensory systems to be used in various agricultural environments. The proposed research project also involves development of interpretation algorithms and data-mining software. Ecoation Innovative Solutions (EIS) developed a technology that monitor and interpret different plant signal patterns. The objectives of the proposed project are to (i) discover the optimum architecture of EIS sensory systems given the specific functional requirements and (ii) determine the best practices for signal processing and filtration to minimize signal/noise ratio. In BC, damage by pests alone costs producers approximately $22 million each year. EIS system can locate the problem on individual plants at early stages before it becomes visible to the naked eye, potentially reducing pest management costs and minimizing crop loss. If EIS system prevents crop loss due to pests alone, just in BC, it can save growers $20 million each year.

Fresh Water Geography in Sao Paolo

Fresh water is becoming an increasingly precious resource, and correct management plans are vital to the continued survival of groundwater aquifers and rivers for human use. 2013/2014 was the driest year in São Paulo State, and this drought is still affecting agricultural land use. In parallel with the decreasing water supply, we have an increasing consumption for urban, industrial and agricultural purposes. Part of management involves predicting available freshwater. We are conducting a research project to explore freshwater resources in several locations across São Paulo State. Through the proposed research project, field data such as water flow, climate information, and the influence of land use on water resources will be collected and analyzed in a laboratory. We expect to explore the link between land use, climate, and water resources in a way that will be pertinent to future water management plans in São Paulo State.

Sketch3: A 3D Curve Sketching System

Sketch3 is an experimental software project to accelerate sketching for ideation and in various design contexts, facilitating visualization in both 2D and 3D. The goal is to evolve a paradigm for ideating rapidly with a digital stylus (2D/3D) analogous to the fluid 2D sketching experience on paper. The software is expected to remove much of the tedium of typical 3D modelling software and also suggest creative options to the user. The novel research and development of the Sketch3 product is a benefit to The Jonah Group since they believe it would be a great addition to the company and also a positive influence in many creative industries.

Développement de la technique d’oxydation électrolytique pour la décontamination d’effluents agricoles contaminés par pesticides

La pollution des eaux par les produits pesticides présente un problème environnemental bien identifié par les pouvoirs publics. L’objectif général de ce projet est de développer un procédé électrolytique à l’échelle du laboratoire pour décontaminer des effluents agricoles contenant des pesticides. Pour ce faire, l’électro-oxydation est une application des propriétés électrochimiques pouvant être efficacement utilisée pour éliminer simultanément divers types des composés organiques par oxydation directe ou indirecte. Elle permet l’oxydation d’un grand nombre de molécules organiques contenues dans l’eau. Les techniques électrolytiques pourront être utilisées soit comme technique de prétraitement oxydatif conduisant à des composés facilement biodégradables, soit comme méthode de traitement tertiaire pour l’élimination ou la minéralisation complète des produits phytosanitaires.
