The relationship of sleep quality to recovery, training capacity and performance in elite athletes

The Centre for Sleep and Human Performance has been funded by Own the Podium to develop tools. strategies. and Interventions that will accurately evaluate the sleep quality of athletes. This partnership provides the Centre with a unique opportunity to have unrestricted access to a population of elite athletes who train and compete above the Intercollegiate level and whose motives for training and performance are not confounded by the external stressors professional athletes are exposed to. The purpose of this project is to characterize the epidemiology of sleep behaviors in elite athletes and determine the clinical validity of the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) in order to more accurately assess sleep quality in this unique population. This information will be used to improve the management of athlete health and wellbeing and will serve as the only true comprehensive long term evaluation of sleep behaviors in elite athletes in the world.

Language immersion in ESL and EFL classes

The purpose of the study is to explore the similarities and differences between both Canadian and Chinese education systems in terms of language and culture. This particular study will focus on the impact that language immersion has on the learning of the English language. The impact of immersion will be explored via English as a second language (ESL) classes and English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. Both the ESL and EFL classes will be critically analyzed, compared, and contrasted in order to gain the most knowledge from both systems.

Comparisons: Learning English as an Additional Language (EAL) in a Dominantly Non-English vs. a Dominantly English Speaking Culture

This research project will capture and analyze various aspects of the authentic Chinese education culture in the grade school English language learning environment, namely, the selected décor and physical layout of the classroom; the relationships between a student and his or her teacher and his or her peers; the resources and methods used to enhance the teaching of the English language; and the traditions/customs incorporated into the classroom environment. To achieve this goal, daily interactions with the teachers and students must be available to establish a professional/trusting relationship and anecdotes/observations, videos and pictures will be taken to capture differences for comparison and personal recollection. It is anticipated that the aforementioned set of observations will confirm the presumption that there will be notable differences between the English as an Additional Language classroom culture in China and an English as an Additional Language program found in Canada.

Takes a Village: how Chinese teachers build the environments and relationships that foster resiliency in their students

The purpose of this study to investigate how Chinese teachers build a sense of resiliency, flexibility and self-driven learning in students who lack those skills and characteristics. These strategies will be studied through a combination of observation, individual interview, and focus group interviews with Chinese teachers, teacher candidates, students and Canadian teacher candidates. The expected outcome of this research is the identification of the tools and strategies that Canadian teachers can modify and apply in their classrooms to help students acquire the characteristics of resilient learners, which will hopefully lead them on to successful lives.

A comparative study of the classroom management techniques teachers perform in Windsor, Ontario and Chongqing, China

The purpose of this study is to learn about the various strategies that teachers use successfully in both Windsor, Ontario and Chongqing, China to control their classes. Classroom management is the most important factor in delivering a lesson, and it will be a great learning experience to witness the unique teaching style of each teacher. A grade eight class will be observed in Chongqing and compared to a grade eight classroom already observed in Windsor. This study will use qualitative methods such as observation with findings included in daily journal entries and reflection. In the end, key themes and strategies will be submitted in a deliverable. It will be interesting to see how teachers in China are solely able to manage large groups of students, which usually contain twice as many students as in Canada. It is expected that Chinese culture and self-discipline greatly contribute to a general attitude amongst Chinese students to be dedicated to learning and academic success.

Investigate machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies incomputing infrastructures in real-time

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solution to monitor computer and application activities, and alert when anomalous behavior occurs. Current commercial tools for anomaly detection use simple statistical rules and thresholds to detect anomalies. These methods are failing for today’s dynamic cloud environment where change is constant. As a result, IT operators are flooded with false alerts; become overwhelmed with alert fatigue and learn to ignore the alerts. This research internship will help to identify and create appropriate anomaly detection algorithms for the IT environment and extend and improve the functionality of Metafor’s current suite of algorithms

Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Biosensor and ioelectronic Applications

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are emerging as important rival in the field of organic bioelectronics. The core of OECT devices is an organic conducting polymer channel, defined by source and drain electrodes, ionically connected to the gate electrode via an
electrolyte solution. Prior to the application of gate voltage (Vgs) the source-drain current measured upon application of a drain-source voltage only depends on the intrinsic conductance of the polymer. Upon application of Vgs some of the electrolyte enter the polymer channel and
dope or dedope it, thus leading to channel current modulation. Hence OECTs can be used as converters between ionic currents in the electrolyte and electronic currents in the organic channel and this mechanism ultimately opens the door of OECTs for sensor application. In this project we will introduce new conducting polymer for the first time as electroactive material for OECTs application.

Translating a Quantum Computing Actor-network through Controversy

Quantum computing has emerged as a new paradigm of computation with potentially far-reaching consequences. However, this change in the form, abilities, and characteristics of computation has not been well studied or theorized in communication studies and related fields. This project draws upon Actor-network Theory (ANT) to challenge the assumptions about computation/computers found in current writing in communication studies and expand the use of ANT to a new and intriguing area of technosocial development. This is done primarily through an intensive ethnography of a quantum software company, which is studied as a “point of passage” in the emerging industry. This phase of the project focuses on interviews, day to day observation, and documentation practices of software engineers at the company.

Cultural Diversity and Learning: A Comparison Study of Chinese and Canadian Curriculums

The purpose of this project is to compare the cultural diversity in both Canada and China. It will also investigate how each country’s social studies curriculum approaches the subject of cultural diversity in the classroom. Additionally, the project will also look at how the students view cultures in both Canada and China. The project will observe students in Chinese classrooms during social studies classes to get their view on diversity. The information for these classes will be compared to their counterparts in Canada. The outcomes of this project will shed a light how students view their cultural identity and what effects does the curriculum from both countries have on this point of view.
