Carbon thin-films for cosmetic jewellery applications: Year 2

Thin-films of carbon are finding use in a wide variety of military, industrial, and commercial applications. Arnell Workshop Inc., a West Kelowna, British Columbia-based cosmetic jewellery manufacturer, is using thin-films of carbon in order to coat titanium rings. As of the present moment, they are using an American firm in order to perform these depositions. They are, however, discouraged by the quality of the resultant films (they appear to be flaking and are non-uniform in thickness) and in the length of time that it takes for their product to be shipped back and forth to and from this American company (over a week). This has convinced the management at Arnell Workshop Inc. to consider performing in-house depositions. We aim to customize and optimize the deposition conditions required for these thin-film depositions using the sputtering system available at Arnell Workshop Inc. Quality assessment and accelerated aging protocols will also be developed in this project. It is hoped that the results of this project will equip our industrial partner, Arnell Workshop Inc., with a strategic advantage over its competitors.

3D Modeling of The Pancreas For Use in Preoperative Surgical Planning and Rehearsal

The graduate student (Simon Byrns) will work closely with pancreas surgeons and experts in computer image manipulation to generate 3D models of the relevant anatomy in pancreas surgery. These models will then be printed on a 3D printer and used to investigate their utility in the preoperative planning phase prior to surgery. The use of augmented reality (superimposing computer generated images on live images) to enhance the visualization of internal structures within the 3D models will also be investigated.

Helping socially-withdrawn Chinese children: The protective role ofparents

A three-wave longitudinal study will be conducted to examined the social, emotional, and academic implications of shyness and unsociability in Chinese children as well as the potential protective role that authoritative parenting plays. Participants in the initial sample consisted of 1500 grade 3 to 6 students, randomly selected from four primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. Assessment of shyness, unsociability, parenting practices, and adjustment are obtained from multiple sources, including peer nominations, self-reports, parent-reports, teacher-reports, and school records. It is anticipated that shyness and unsociability will be independently and uniquely predictive
of Chinese children’s adjustment difficulties. Moreover, it is expected that authoritative parenting will serve as a buffer against the negative impact of social withdrawal on children’s adjustment. On the other hand, overprotective parenting will exacerbate socially withdrawn children’s adjustment problems.

Élaboration d’un outil d’aide a? l’évaluation de la performance en SST des PME – cas de ASSIFQ-ASSPPQ

Au Québec, les propriétaires d’entreprises peuvent rejoindre une mutuelle de prévention pour bénéficier de cotisation plus avantageuse à la CSST et bénéficier, entre autres, de conseils et de formation. Compte tenu du grand nombre d’entreprises associées à une mutuelle de prévention, il est difficile pour les préventionnistes de répondre aux besoins spécifiques de chacune d’entre elles. L’objectif du projet est d’effectuer la recherche nécessaire pour bâtir un outil de diagnostic pour identifier plus facilement les faiblesses en matière de la gestion
de la santé et de la sécurité au travail des PME. Par l’intermédiaire de cet outil, les préventionnistes de l’ASSIFQ-ASSPPQ économiseront du temps et adapteront leurs interventions selon les besoins réels de leurs clients. Les interventions deviennent donc plus efficaces et mieux ciblées.

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.
