Visual History for Scheduling Behaviour

Actenum produces scheduling software (Actenum DSO) that computes project schedules based on user defined criteria, constraints and desired KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). The software represents schedules using Gantt charts. A user of Actenum DSO enters activities and the constraints between them and then runs an optimization algorithm to produce a schedule. Actenum has found that their customers have challenges understanding what their schedule optimization algorithm is doing. This leads to a lack of trust in the algorithm and a tendency to control much of the schedule manually, often leading to less than ideal schedules. Actenum would like to provide tools that help the users to understand the optimizer. We propose to design a visualization history module for DSO that tracks and visually represents changes made to the schedule. Our history module will enable users to visually understand and compare the effects of changes made in a schedule.

Les communautés féministes et l’organisation du care dans les Manzanas del cuidado

Ce projet analyse les communautés de femmes qui se forment dans les Manzanas del cuidado qui sont des « espaces de concentration de services qui rassemblent et articulent des services, des programmes ou des activités dirigés au care, autant pour celles et ceux qui ont besoin de soin (cuidada.os) que celles et ceux qui le réalisent (cuidadora.es) ». Les MdC appartiennent au Système distrital de care qui rassemble des politiques visant à « prendre soin, assister et soutenir » les cuidada.os et les cuidadore.as. Ces initiatives sont intersectorielles et universelles et visent à poser les bases d’une société de care. Mon étude se fonde sur le concept de « féminisme communautaire » afin de comprendre si et comment les femmes participantes aux manzanas font communauté au sens de Cabnal. Compris comme un concept dynamique, le féminisme communautaire se définit par les relations sociales et spatiales que construisent les femmes qui forment des luttes communes. L’objectif de ce mémoire est donc d’analyserl’organisation du care au sein des communautés de femmes et de comprendre jusqu’à où les femmes étendent l’espace des Manzanas del cuidado pour faire communauté.

Structural optimization of a conformable pressure tank with membrane loading

Due to abundant reserves and environmental cleanliness, natural gas has introduced the environmentally friendly vehicles – natural gas-powered vehicles (NGVs), which have the potential of providing a solution to air quality problems. However, low volumetric energy density of natural gas results in NGVs’ short-range driving, inhibiting them from widespread adoption. A conformable pressure tank is considered as a solution to the issues of energy density and onboard fuel storage capacity and therefore, the driving range for NGVs. Driven by this, KSR is developing a conformable pressure tank with membrane loading, with which it is able to efficiently withstand internal pressure via membrane response while further utilizing the available fuel storage space. To accelerate this promising technology into commercialization, it is necessary to examine its safety and reliability as well as rooms to optimize its structure. Therefore, this research is concentrated on achieving an optimal structure that is safe and reliable but light-weighted for a conformable pressure tank with membrane loading.

data-driven approach to establish a design space for raw materials properties and manufacturing conditions for pharmaceutical drug stability assurance

Pharmaceutical companies are required to perform stability testing of their drug products by regulation. A drug product that succeeds on stability testing means that its identity, potency, and purity remain within pre-established limits over its shelf life. Nowadays, drug products are more frequently reformulated in response to a highly competitive market, new research discoveries and the availability of new suppliers of raw materials. It is therefore increasingly challenging for the formulator to assess the impact that a change in raw material suppliers or in the proportions of different types of materials will have on the stability of the product. The proposed research aims at developing a joint specification region for selecting raw materials to assist the formulator ensuring product stability in spite of unavoidable changes in raw material properties and modifications to their ratios. Large historical drug product manufacturing databases and multivariate statistical methods will be used for establishing the specification region. Such a proactive tool will help pharmaceutical companies avoid or reduce the occurrence of stability issues caused by inadequate combinations of raw materials, mitigate the risks of drug product recalls while reducing raw materials purchasing costs.

Fabricate Hydrogel Scaffold Encapsulating Living Cells for Myocardial Infarction Repair

To solve the issue of complementing cell loss or stimulating angiogenesis for repairing MI, scaffolds encapsulating living cells, which aim at inducing cell proliferation and differentiation, are designed and then synthesized based on biocompatible and biodegradable materials. The experiments are performed by applying them to 3D cultured MDSCs for cell proliferation and differentiation study via immunofluorescence and RT-PCR etc. Also experiments of injecting scaffolds into MI rats for analyzing recovery of heart function are carried out. Methods such as immunofluorescence, Western Blot and RT-PCR etc. are to taken. Results are anticipated including relatively well cell viability and differentiation ability, and better heart function in MI animals after injecting scaffolds than those untreated. If anticipated results of both in vitro and in vivo study are obtained, the goal for improving cell viability and differentiation ability can be accomplished and effects on heart function moderation can be obtained after injected with scaffolds in rats for in vivo tests.

Understanding the migration and employment experiences of Chinese rural migrant women factory workers – The role of the household registration system, workplace and household

This proposed research project is for my doctoral thesis. The research focuses on the migration and employment experiences of Chinese rural migrant women factory workers. It will provide an in-depth analysis of factors that women themselves have thought relevant to their migration and employment status and experiences. The research will examine the role of three institutions, including the hukou (the household registration) system, the workplace, and the household, with a gender focus, in affecting rural women’s migration and employment experiences. By participating in the Mitacs Globalink project, I will be able to focus on my research and thesis writing in the host institution, conduct several more interviews and build professional networks in China.

Analysis of ore texture and relation to processing performance

The project consists in devising a method to quantitatively describe textural features of ores; these features may include mineral composition, grain size and shape, spatial distribution, etc. Equally important is relating these features to the performance observed when processing the ores. The foreseen deliverable is a tool to predict ore processing performance. The scale of investigation is set at the rock and drill core size such that the performance prediction can be issued as early as possible in the ore dressing process. Such information will add definite value to the mine’s database and increase the understanding of the ore body and will greatly aid mine operators in the planning of mine exploitation and ore processing. The project will comprise three phases: a proof of concept, the implementation of a “texture tool” and a field trial on a mine site

Promouvoir la coopération économique entre communautés autochtones et industrie forestière

Au Canada, la durabilité de la foresterie est une condition obligatoire pour les entreprises qui désirent opérer sur les territoires publiques. La durabilité est aussi essentielle à l’épanouissement des communautés et des cultures autochtones qui dépendent de la forêt. Toutefois, la participation autochtone dans le secteur forestier fait face à un ensemble d’obstacles tels la disponibilité des volumes de bois et le manque de capacité technique, professionnelle et institutionnelle. La création de partenariats entre l’industrie forestière et les communautés autochtones représente une solution prometteuse pour résoudre ces problèmes.
Au Québec, nous constatons un besoin réel de projet de recherche en sciences forestières afin de définir les conditions favorables à la réussite des partenariats d’affaires. L’objectif général de ce projet vise donc à mieux comprendre comment promouvoir la coopération économique entre les communautés autochtones et l’industrie forestière. Ce projet fournira à Produits forestiers Résolu une information précieuse qui l’aidera développer des relations constructives et des opportunités d’affaires avec les communautés autochtones des régions où elle exerce ses activités au Canada.

Surface modification to reduce biofouling on water quality montoringdevices

Biofouling is the unwanted accumulation of proteins and microorganisms on wetted surfaces. Accumulation of biofoulers on sensors and microfluidic devices greatly impairs their performance in assessing the physical, chemical, and biological condition of natural and processed water. Failure to obtain accurate data on these changes and respond in a timely manner may lead to serious health consequences and hinder natural water preservation. This issue was expressed at the 2014 MacWater meeting, where leading research groups and international water industries were in attendance. Chemical modification of material surfaces has been utilised to create protein resistant, and subsequently, antifouling materials. Through the collaboration with leading experts in this field at Soochow University, we hope to gain expertise in polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafting methods to resist long term biofouling on a variety of polymer based materials. Their expertise will improve current and future sensors and microfluidic devices developed by MacWater research groups. Thus, this research opportunity will facilitate international collaboration for global water quality management.

Music As a Fundamental Element of GameplayInteraction

Music is a fundamental part of human culture and day-to-day lives, but largely exists only as an accent in modern games. While arguably music can deepen and intensify in-game experiences, music is rarely an integrated part of the available mechanics in game worlds. Unlike any other MMORPG or music-based game currently available, this project will look at the social and communicative elements of music that can be leveraged in game as a social network and primary game mechanic. This will involve research into interaction science, drawing from current psychological and cognitive science research in how people play, interact, as well as how people respond to music. For the industry partner, this internship contributes towards its re-imagination of the MMORPG genre through musical gameplay.

Vers une meilleure représentation des propriétés physiques de la neige arctique dans SVS2-Crocus

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de la préparation de la future mission satellitaire canadienne Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission (TSMM), élaborée par l’Agence Spatiale Canadienne ainsi qu’Environnement et Changement Climatique Canada (ECCC) et permettra de mesurer l’équivalent en eau de la neige à l’échelle nationale grâce à un radar qui analyse la rétrodiffusion du couvert de neige. Pour que cette mission soit efficace, il est nécessaire de comprendre la microstructure de la neige arctique, particulièrement la formation du givre de profondeur qui caractérise ce type de couvert de neige. La dynamique de formation de cette couche est intimement liée au transport de vapeur d’eau par diffusion et convection au sein du couvert de neige arctique. À l’heure actuelle, le modèle SVS2-Crocus ne représente malheureusement aucune forme de transport de vapeur d’eau, comme la prise en compte de ce phénomène comporte d’importants défis numériques. L’objectif général du projet est donc de documenter l’impact de la convection sur le flux de vapeur d’eau et de développer une meilleure paramétrisation de ce processus pour mieux capturer la couche de givre de profondeur à la base du couvert de neige arctique dans le modèle SVS2-Crocus.
