Employer Demand-Driven Training (EDDT) Programs for Youth Employment

The proposed research project will research and evaluate the impact of Employer Demand-Driven Training (EDDT) programs undertaken in 5 pilot sites in Ontario. As a strategy, ‘demand-driven’ means putting businesses at the centre of workforce training development and using their workforce needs and challenges as the starting point to design effective programs. In this way, training is directly relevant to market demand. The intern will be involved in the assessment of the extent to which EDDT programs are effective and will implement the knowledge acquired from a systematic research methodology and timeline to understand the value proposition EDDT programs offer the current and next generations of youth and employers, who in conjunction define the future of the Canadian employment landscape. This project will benefit First Work as it will contribute to the organization’s institutional capacity to provide relevant and impactful programs to their stakeholders in Ontario which can serve as a model for further phases of EDDT programs and for training centres in other provinces.

Enhancing Prosthetic Socket Performance

For people with lower limb amputations, the interface between the amputated limb and a prosthetic socket is very important. Suspension, or how the socket is held on the limb, is one factor that affects a person’s ability to walk efficiently and safely, movement confidence, limb health, and quality of life. This project will assess, evaluate, and identify area for improvement for new state-of-the-art elevated vacuum suspension systems that could improve functional aspects of socket suspension and also help control limb volume changes that adversely affect socket fit. In addition to mechanical testing, the CAREN-Extended virtual reality system will be used to test prosthetic performance across a range of simulated walking scenarios. The project outcomes will be used by an industry leader in the prosthetics field to create components that can improve the lives of people with lower limb amputations.

Methods for detecting Hardware Blu-ray player emulation, debugging or instrumentation

Blu-Ray Disk Framework offers content protection system which is intended to protect audio/video media against piracy. The Blu-Ray Content Protection System consists of three individually working components: Advance Access Control System, ROM-Mark and BD+. Each component works collaboratively with the other in order to protect high-definition content distributed on Blu-Ray discs. The ability of a Blu-Ray content protection system to detect unauthorized playback depends upon the protected information saved on the Blu Ray player, if an attacker is able to access protected information saved on player then it is possible to trick a player for unauthorized media playback. This research project will focus on the creation of a novel process that will be used to detect if an attempt to extract protected information from the player is being made. The result will be used to make the existing Blu Ray BD+ technology more secure.

Distributed Control Strategy Development for Demand-Side Energy Management in Commercial Buildings With Photo-Voltaic and Energy Storage

Increasing global energy demand coupled with efforts to reduce our carbon emission has pushed for improved energy efficiency in many areas. One area in need of improvement is residential and commercial buildings. Specifically, the demand-side energy management of commercial buildings can be improved significantly with improved control. With the addition of on-site renewable energy generation such as Photo-Voltaic and energy storage, a large commercial building can be optimally controlled to provide reliable, stable power while maintaining minimal wasted energy. The goal of this project is to develop a robust demand-side energy management control strategy utilizing model predictive control and multi-objective optimization techniques.

Supporting the scaling up of evidence based programs in schools: A Community catalyst Framework for Implementation.

Schools and educators are often asked to implement programs shown to be effective in reducing a number of mental health, and societal ills like bullying and peer victimization. While they often seen as the ideal contexts for reaching many children at the same time, the capacity of schools and educators to respond to the increasing demand for their expanded role in advancing the mental health and well-being of students is poorly understood and supported. Schools are often overburdened with growing curriculum demands, increasing class sizes, and special needs children. Our research examines the challenges and opportunities of schools as implementers of evidence-based programs. We have developed and are investigating the usefulness of a new “Community Catalyst” implementation framework that identifies programs champions in both the community and schools and supports them to act locally to enable high quality program implementation and scale up.

Experimental Development and Design of Low Reynolds Number Airfoils for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a cost-effective and low-risk airborne platform for scientific and surveillance equipment. Due to the variety of instrumentation that they can carry, UAVs have enormous potential for use in a range of commercial and military sectors. However, their small size and low speed brings about aerodynamic challenges that are not present on larger aircraft. The goal of this project is to better understand these unique phenomena at a fundamental level in order to develop practical engineering solutions that will improve performance of UAVs. The research will take place in the low-speed low-turbulence intensity wind tunnel at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. Results will lead to specific design guidelines that Brican Automated Systems will use to stay at the leading edge of UAV development in Canada.

The role of miRNA in the normal development of the brain and neuropathies

Proper brain development is required for normal cognitive functions in mammals. Recent studies have shown that both protein-coding genes and noncoding RNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), play crucial roles in brain development. We have identified several miRNAs that are expressed in specific regions in the embryonic and adult mouse cerebral cortex, and demonstrated their important roles in cortical development and functions. Using mouse genetic and RNA-sequencing approaches, we show that miRNAs control brain size by regulating essential target genes that determine proliferation, survival and differentiation of cortical neural progenitors. We also show that proper expression of miRNAs is required for normal proliferation of adult hippocampal neural progenitors. Our results demonstrate miRNAs as important molecules that regulate both brain development and neurological disorders. The students will learn basic molecular biology techniques, neural stem cell cultures, gene sequencing analyses and so on. The students will develop skills of independent thinking and experimental designs.

A study of extraneous environmental factors that contribute to bird and bat mortalities caused by wind turbines in Nova Scotia

Post-construction monitoring and bird and bat carcass searches will be performed over two terms from mid-May to the end of June, and mid-October to mid-August at 8 wind energy sites around Nova Scotia. The data collected will be collected at each site 3 times per week at first
light and will include counts, species, time and setting. The data from the post-construction monitoring surveys will be analyzed and correlated with extraneous environmental factors, such as weather events and proximity to important habitat features, contributing to bird and bat mortalities at wind energy sites in Nova Scotia. The results will be used by Strum Consulting to inform wind energy developers on planning, development and site selection as well as potentially municipal, provincial and federal policy.

Modelling default probabilities in a credit risk portfolio

Although latent variable models are a well-known tool for evaluating a portfolio credit risk, concerns are raised regarding tractability of a subsequent analysis/simulation. The project attempts to address such concerns by incorporating a special class of Bernoulli mixture models. Then, efforts will be made to compare efficiency of these models with the commonly used latent variable counterparts and the benchmark model suggested by the regulator. In addition, the intern will produce analogous comparisons of the Bernoulli mixture model with the portfolio credit risk model that is currently employed by Sun Life Financial. At the end, the undertaken work may recommend the ways of further improving the internal quantitative techniques of Sun Life Financial that would allow more accurate and reliable assessment of a portfolio credit risk.
