Shaping New Pathways: Mexico City, Women and Metaphors

This research explores the links between gender and architecture in postmodern cities. Space is experienced and produced by gender constructs which remain at the centre of this study: women at home, sheltered from the dangers of the street. I look at feminine appropriations of architecture where such constructs are subverted, at opportunities that specific spaces and times allow. Women take over public places through the city in their daily activities. I argue that at the centre of these territory-claims are women’s bodies, which engage with the built environment as architectural elements themselves. Either by becoming extensions or disruptions of architecture, bodies themselves become architecture. Mexico City offers a rich ground to analyse these processes. Public transport with its sex-separation, the streetscape as used and the markets engaging women in contradictory roles (nurturer and free stroller) become landscapes showing the complex relations between gender and space. The city as proposed in this study is one where neither architecture nor gender roles are fixed, and where space can allow the challenge of traditional constructs.

Battery Management System for Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles

Measurement of the SOC is one of the basic functions of BMS for lithium-ion batteries pack in EVs. It is equivalent to fuel gauge in conventional vehicles which will indicate the miles cars can still run and when they should be charged. So the accurate SOC is needed to estimate to prolong the lifetime and to improve performance of the battery pack. The validated SOC estimation strategy may be calibrated by the experimental data from this project. Also, the cell balancing strategy is needed to prevent the battery pack from overcharge or over-discharged which I can get the basic knowledge about it through this project.

Holistic Rangeland Management for Mitigating Desertification on the Grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China

My research explores practical solutions to preventing and reversing the growth of global deserts due to climate change and unsustainable development. In this case, it is grounded on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China, where poor policymaking and implementation has failed to halt the expansion of the Gobi Desert. Another consequence of these policies has been the displacement of many semi-nomadic ethnic Mongolian communities living on the grasslands. Inner Mongolia has essentially become China’s ‘dust bowl.’ I am currently examining the prospects for working with Mongolian herders to develop more holistic and sustainable methods of rangeland management which can simultaneously assist in the ecological restoration of the grasslands lost to the Gobi Desert.

The Transnational Flow of Women, Sounds, and Activism: Women Making Music in and Between Brazil and Canada

This project examines the relationship between female musicians in music scenes in Toronto and in the cities of Salvador and Recife in Brazil. Female performers from Brazil and other Latin American countries, as well as Canadian-born female musicians make up the majority and the backbone of the Brazilian music scene in Toronto. As these performers move between Brazil and Canada, so do they bring with them both musical practices and worldviews that have in turn shaped their local contexts. Recently, many of these female musicians have begun to organize all-female groups and events and use the performance of various Brazilian musical traditions to make political statements addressing the status of women. Under the auspices of the Mitacs Globalink Research Award, I intend to examine the connections between this woman-identified scene in Toronto and its roots in Brazil, and elucidate the role of music and transnational migration in the development of group identification.

Pre-clinical testing of novel high-strength bioabsorbable bone adhesives

There is an unmet need to replace surgical plates and screws in small joint and non-loadbearing orthopaedic surgeries. Despite a clear clinical need and market opportunity, there are no products available today that address issues such as long surgery times, high cost, patient discomfort, and reoperation for metal implant removal. Dartmouth Medical Research, Ltd. is a medical device development company focused on Bone Repairs using Absorbable Polymers and aims to solve these problems by adhering the bones with a “Hot Melt” resorbable polymer. This novel bone adhesive material simplifies bone fixation surgery and would be used to replace the bulky, expensive, and time-consuming mechanical fixators. More importantly, in long-term animal studies, such materials have shown a 158% increase in strength compared to traditional fixation techniques in non-load-bearing surgical applications. The project objective is to research, evaluate and test a new reinforced version of this technology.

All Digital, Multi-Standard Highly Efficient Transmitter forMobile Communication Base Station Applications

A novel transmitter architecture which presents more power efficiency than that of the transmitters being used currently in mobile communication base stations is proposed in this research project. The result of this research fills the gap between the theoretical idea behind this transmitter structure and its practical usage in cellular network base stations. This transmitter can operate over a wide frequency range and with different mobile communication signal standards very power efficiently while maintaining the quality of the transmitted signal. The outcome of this project leads to an industrial product, which offers a new transmitter topology whose small form-factor minimizes the cost and effort of the industrial partner transmitter design process. Moreover, the high power efficiency of this transmitter interests the industrial partner’s clients and helps saving significant amount of energy in base stations. Therefore the industrial partner benefits greatly from the results of this project.

Determining Optimal Strategies to operate Not-For Profit Health Organizations

The goal of this project is to devise a strategy for improving the operations of Canadians for Health Research (CHR) to achieve long-term prosperity. CHR is a non-profit organization (NPO) and its mission is to provide Canadians with a comprehensive understanding of the importance of health research so that they may develop an informed perspective on a very complicated social issue. This extremely challenging task has major impacts upon its success or failure because public opinion votes to change government policies that shape the economics of our society. CHR is currently facing financial difficulties and wishes to reexamine its operating model. The intern will systematically analyze how CHR operates and summarize the current situation of the NPO. Appropriate to the current situation, the intern will provide a list of recommendations; each recommendation will be analyzed to determine the revenue it will generate upon its implementation over a course of time. The intern will outline practical timelines and prepare a comprehensive toolkit for CHR to realize these recommendations. Finally, recommendations will be supplemented by literature research and assembled in an academic article describing a general strategy that may be utilized by any NPO.

Anomaly Detection in SCADA Networks

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems enable network-based monitoring and/or control of processes in various industrial sectors including electrical power distribution, energy, waste water and water. These systems serve as the backbone of much of Canada’s critical infrastructure. Security compromise of SCADA systems allows malicious attackers to gain control of the industrial processes in question – with devastating results. The objectives of the proposed research are to conduct academic research into anomaly detection algorithms for SCADA network threat detection. As the intern will conduct research in the network security area they would develop expertise that is in a huge demand. This will immensely benefit both the intern and Canada as well due to enhanced secure infrastructures. Solana Networks will be enhancing their security monitoring tool to include SCADA networks. Hence this research will directly influence the company’s’ product space.

Brain changes after 1 year of treatment with an injectable antipsychotic in people with a first-episode psychosis.

The proposed project will explore variations in the whole brain after 1 year of treatment that may exist between those who are taking an injectable antipsychotic versus those who are taking an oral antipsychotic in a cohort of first-episode of psychosis. All patients are treated in a naturalistic, early intervention setting at the Douglas Institute in Montreal, Canada. Janssen will benefit from the proposed project as it will help determine the benefits, if any, for prescribing an injectable earlier on in treatment,
namely related to brain tissue change. Increased knowledge about the effects of using injectables earlier on in treatment is needed so that more clinicians would consider starting this type of treatment sooner in hope of achieving a better outcome for more people.

Performance issues for embedded and random problems in adiabatic quantum optimization

Current and near-future D-Wave processors implement optimization using quantum effects on a fixed processor layout. This layout can be modeled as a graph with certain constraints, and the optimization is applied to a specific problem: fixed-topology Ising spin optimization. It is therefore important to study how best to use this hardware to solve combinatorial optimization problems in various forms, and to study performance versus conventional optimizers. The intern will study problems in this area, as well as the problem of predicting performance of proposed processor topologies. D-Wave expects to benefit from this partnership by gaining a clearerview of these issues, which are of fundamental importance to designing software applications for
quantum annealers
