Design and improvements of security solutions to be integrated in an Internet gateway

Four research projects addressing issues related to computer network and web security are proposed. In Project 1, the development of a novel self-learning anomaly detection tool is proposed to protect web servers against emerging elaborate attacks (such as spamming, multi-step and zero-day attacks). This tool will be developed using Machine Learning and Data Mining techniques. In Project 2, an event correlation system for cloud-based infrastructures will be developed. This tool will correlate across several heterogeneous types of cloud, sensors and logs to detect complex attacks using the traces attacks left across systems they compromised. In Project 3, a tool that can automatically analyze and identify malicious web content before it deploys in the target network will be developed using a comprehensive context-aware and ontology-based event correlation approach. In Project 4, we will test a novel malware detection approach based on physical measures (e.g. CPU, memory, network bandwidth, etc.). Groupe Access is looking to use results and findings of these projects to improve the security level of systems it manages. Tools developed will enable early threat detection, improve analysis of ongoing events and display warnings related to abnormal activities.

State-society relations at the margins: Control and Resistance in Turkey’s borderlands (1990-2004 and 2004-present)

There is a controversial relationship between the levels of democratization and violence. Although it is assumed that more democratic a country becomes less violence occurs, there are some counterarguments (Tezcur 2009). This project is an attempt to test the viability of whether democracy leads pacification. We will compare two time periods to evaluate the impacts of change in state strategy toward Kurds in Turkey’s borderlands. The first is the period from 1990 to 20042, which is a period of military domination. The second time period is commonly associated with political liberalization. Our preliminary research suggests that the new strategy has encountered significant challenges in borderland regions. Our aim is to explain the sources of limitation of the Turkish state’s ability to improve state-minority relations. The expected outcome is that the relationship between democratization and violence can be best understood by looking at the institutional (re) design of the borderlands.

Enhancing Small-cell Wireless Backhauling

The cellular network nowadays faces an uphill battle against the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. Deploying low power radio base stations covering small cells within the current cellular coverage area is a promising approach to significantly boost the network capacity, provide better coverage, and reduce network congestion. Since it is recognized that backhauling the traffic from small cell sites to the core network is one of today’s major impediments to the wide scale adoption and deployment of small cells, this project aims at enhancing small-cell backhauling technologies for the scenarios that a communication path in unlicensed frequency band is partially obstructed between the small cell base station and the hub base station. The research project will provide novel solutions to channel access and resource scheduling. The proposed solutions would efficiently improve the quality of services of cellular users and have a great potential to be implemented in BLiNQ’s new products.

Eye Tracking as a functional biomarker in Neurological and Mental Health Disease

There is an urgent need for the development of new tools that can provide a relatively highthroughput, objective assessment of brain function in individuals with neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. The overarching objective of this research proposal is to use eye movement tasks to identify biomarkers that can be used in the assessment of brain function in these disorders. We will utilize the EyeLink 1000 manufactured by SR Research Inc. (Mississauga, ON), to optimize the application of structured and unstructured eye movement tasks that will identify phenotypic behaviours that characterize specific neurodevelopmental, neurological and psychiatric disorders. The internships will offer an enriched training environment, in that the interns will interact with a company that markets the state-of-the art instrument for measuring eye movements, use the instrument to investigate underlying neural correlates of behaviour, and apply this knowledge to enhance our understanding of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by deficits across multiple domains of brain function. SR Research will benefit from this collaboration since the project aims to develop eye tracking techniques as biometric markers of neurodevelopmental, neurological and psychiatric disorders. This effort aligns with the strategic priorities of SR Research to develop new applications for its products.

The Science of Body Sugaring

Sugarbush Spa is a London-based company that specializes in the removal of unwanted body hair by a method known as sugaring. The method, used for centuries in the Middle East, has several notable advantages over traditional waxing. Commercially available sugaring pastes suffer from inconsistency in production and unsatisfactory performance. At its core, the creation of sugaring paste is a synthetic organic chemical reaction, hydrolyzing the disaccharide sucrose to the two monosaccharides glucose and fructose. The goal of this internship is to develop a superior sugaring paste using scientifically-informed methods. The intern will use an iterative process, keeping a strict log of conditions and a record of observations and results. Product samples will be examined using NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and evaluated by expert staff at Sugarbush Spa for is physical properties. Ultimately, a standard operating procedure will be developed for Sugarbush Spa to create a consistent, high-quality sugaring paste

Assessment of safety and efficacy of probiotics use in premature infants

Probiotics are suggested to greatly reduce the risk of mortality and risk of infection in the gut of preterm infants. However, probiotics are rarely given to babies in hospitals in North America. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of probiotics supplementation in improving intestinal heath and preventing gut complications in premature infants. In this study, 25 preterm infants in St. Boniface Hospital will receive the probiotic for four weeks and 25 infants in the Winnipeg Health Science Centre will not receive probiotics. Stool, blood and urine samples will be collected before and after administration of probiotics for multiple laboratory analysis (biomarkers related to gut health). The results will provide a better understanding of the efficacy and safety of probiotic supplementation as a routine treatment for premature infants.

Economic Assessment of a Predictive Technology for the Early Detection of Oral Cancer

Health economic evaluation provides information about the value for money of new healthcare technologies, and is increasingly used to guide the allocation of scarce resources based on maximizing health gain. The molecular diagnostics company, PDI, has developed a technology to improve the identification of patients at high risk for oral cancers for early intervention, and distinguish abnormal cell growth that will not become malignant, compared to the current gold standard alone. This more accurate diagnosis could save lives, reduce morbidity from traumatic surgeries, increase the duration of productive work lives, and save healthcare costs. The purpose of this internship is to develop a health economic model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the technology, as well as its social impact. The results of the study will help determine whether the new technology demonstrates value for money and can be used by policy makers to help make reimbursement decisions about this new technique.

Determining chocolate antioxidants by infrared spectroscopy and multivariate analysis

Chocolates have a rich source of dietary phenolic compounds and antioxidants. During chocolate manufacture, the antioxidant capacity and procyanidin content in cocoa can be affected by a variety of processing conditions. Therefore, a rapid and less expensive method to determine chocolate antioxidants is highly demanded in confectionery industry. As a nondestructive tool, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis is an ideal candidate to address this technique challenges in chocolate industry. We will determine antioxidant capacity and procyanidin content of chocolates using FT-IR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis. With the multivariate analysis model, the determination of antioxidant capacity and procyanidin content of chocolates can be achieved within 1 min per sample in a nondestructive manner. This novel technique has the potential to reduce the cost of determination of antioxidants in chocolate and to further aid in optimizing chocolate manufacture process, leading to more health benefits to chocolate consumers in Canada and abroad.

Reclamation of Mercury-Contaminated Tailings from Small Gold Mining

This Mitacs Accelerate proposal is the second of three-phase project of Adriana’s Goncalves master’s thesis. For this Mitacs-Accelerate renewal proposal, it will be investigated further flotation process targeting recovery of 80-90% considering a previous technical feasibility study conducted on material from a representative sample of ASM tailings from Costa Rica. The tailings belong to a small Canadian company, Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. a new gold processing and trading company pursuing precious metal related business opportunities in Latin America. A higher flotation recovery could allow the project to be economically viable.
The case study for this research will take place in Canada at the laboratories of UBC Dept. of Mining. This conceptual study is critical to establish the basic parameters for the processing design, required to develop the unit operations of the processing plants to be recommended for the Newlox Gold as a result of this research. The research is also part of a larger conceptual model of Small Mining Is Beautiful which defends that small gold plants can be cleaner and more sophisticated than the usual ones generating more environmental and social benefits in developing countries

OVOGEN : Co-culture autologue embryon-endomètre versus milieu conventionnel dans le traitement de l’infertilite : essai clinique contrôle randomisé en double insu

Un des facteurs les plus importants du succès de la fécondation in vitro est la qualité de culture de l’embryon. Un nouveau milieu de culture a été créé en utilisant les propres cellules endométriales de la patiente. Le but est d’évaluer l’efficacité d’un transfert d’embryon au stade de blastocyste après la mise en co-culture avec des cellules endométriales autologues et le comparer avec la culture en milieu conventionnel. Le critère de jugement principal est le taux de grossesse. Cette étude concerne 1080 femmes de 18 à 38 ans en cours de FIV. Une biopsie de l’endomètre est effectuée chez toutes les patientes lors du cycle précédant le cycle de stimulation. Les femmes vont être séparées en deux bras. Nous nous attendons à un meilleur taux de grossesse avec la co-culture en milieu autologue. Ces nouveaux milieux de culture pourraient permettre d’augmenter le taux de réussite de transfert d’un seul embryon au stade blastocyste.
