Applying Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Agricultural Management of Soil Water and Nutrients in Saskatchewan

To feed the globally increasing population and increasing costs of producing food, this project seeks to use artificial intelligence to develop an app to assist in sustainable agriculture management. By monitoring soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate and crop type, a machine learning algorithm will link the farming action (application of fertilizer, flood irrigation and other) and the crop output to capture current farming practises. Also, the participating farmers will gain access to the real-time, collected soil moisture and nutrient data to aid in their farming decision making. This improved understanding of soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate, crop and related data will lead to developing and adapting future sustainable farming strategies as climate change continues.

Outils soutenus par une IA pour accompagner les propriétaires de puits privés

Une eau potable de qualité est essentielle à la santé de tous. Plus d’un dixième des ménages québécois consomment l’eau
de puits privés. Il incombe aux propriétaires de ces puits de s’assurer de la potabilité de leur eau. Ceux qui suivent la
recommandation consistant à faire régulièrement analyser leur eau éprouvent souvent des difficultés à comprendre leurs
résultats d’analyse et, en cas de contamination, à identifier les mesures correctrices appropriées. Le présent projet vise à
déterminer si des outils soutenus par une intelligence artificielle (IA) pourrait permettre d’accompagner les propriétaires de
puits privés à travers ce processus et de soutenir leur prise de décision. Ce faisant, ce projet souhaite ultimement contribuer
à prévenir les maladies d’origine hydrique chez les ménages ruraux. Les apprentissages effectués dans le cadre de ce projet
alimenteront également le développement d’une offre de services en IA pour le Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux
de Chaudière-Appalaches.

New Analytical Approaches to Social Media Data

In general, market research agencies use surveys and social media analytics as different ways to explain customer behaviour. Vision Critical, a Vancouver software and market research firm, is currently testing how the two can be combined to generate new findings. While the company intends to offer this approach as a service, various important questions to be answered beforehand: for example, how can panelists’ activities on social media correlate with their responses to survey questions? Which factors or benefits motivate respondents to take part in social media integration studies? Analyzing results of past and upcoming pilot projects in SPSS, this project will address these points so that Vision Critical can extend its range of services with this new offering and effectively compete with other large agencies that offer similar social media features. The findings will be published in white papers and also documented in a project report for the Master of Publishing program at SFU.

Time-Series Based Machine Learning

The proposed project aims to enhance the interpretability of machine learning models, particularly in the context of time series data analysis. By extending the capabilities of the tsfresh library, a widely used tool for time series feature extraction, the project seeks to make complex models more transparent and understandable. This effort will improve confidence in the predictions and decisions made by these models, benefiting both research institutions (University of Toronto and University of Auckland) and industry partners. Additionally, the project addresses specific challenges in benchmark datasets like the UCR Time Series Classification Archive, aiming to enhance model robustness and reliability in real-world applications. Ultimately, the project aims to foster trust and usability in various domains by providing clearer insights into the workings of machine learning models.

Electrospun composite solid-state electrolyte membranes based on lithium conductive metal-organic framework for high-energy-density lithium metal battery

As Canada advances to a sustainable and prosperous net-zero future by 2050, investment and research into the battery industry can help accelerate progress towards net-zero emissions targets and are a vital resource to support Canadian industry and workers in seizing economic opportunities for next-generation Li-ion batteries. Li metal batteries, as one of the most promising next-generation high-energy-density storage devices, can meet the rigid demands of new industries. However, the direct utilization of metallic Li as anode can induce harsh safety issues caused by the dendrite formation and electrolyte decomposition. Replacing organic liquid electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes is considered to be the most promising method to solve the safety problem of Li metal batteries. Herein, we propose a series of novel metal-organic framework-based composite solid-state electrolytes based on electrospinning engineering as an alternative route to conventional electrolyte manufacturing, which can enhance the interfacial contact and increase the electrochemical stability.

Le transport informel comme composante de l’intermodalité, le cas de Hanoi

Hanoi, la capitale vietnamienne, connaît une forte croissance démographique. Les déplacements, autrefois effectués à bicyclette, sont désormais réalisés principalement à moto et, de plus en plus, en voiture, générant des problèmes de congestions routières et de pollution. Le réseau de transport collectif, en forte expansion, peut difficilement rivaliser avec le transport individuel, compte tenu de la complexification des déplacements et de la morphologie particulière de la ville (rues étroites dans lesquels les autobus ne peuvent circuler, plusieurs pôles de développement, etc.). Le transport informel, très présent à Hanoi sous la forme de motos-taxis (xe ôm en vietnamien) peut jouer un rôle de premier plan dans la mobilité de la population, en complémentarité avec le réseau de transport collectif. Cette étude vise donc à identifier les conditions nécessaires pour que le xe ôm contribue à l’intermodalité et, conséquemment, au développement d’une mobilité plus durable dans la région de Hanoi

Relativistic localisation of Unruh-DeWitt detectors

In this project, we study the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model, which features a two-level system (an “atom”) coupled to a quantum field. In a previous publication, the UDW model was extended to include a relativistic centre of mass, which was introduced via a first- and second-quantised treatment of the atom’s dynamics. However, an issue with this model is that the wave function describing the atom spreads out over time. In the UDW model, one conventionally requires the atom to remain bound within a finite region of spacetime. In previous works, Tales Rick Perche—a student of Prof. Eduardo Martin-Martinez—has investigated a separate UDW model, where the atom remains localised to finite regions of spacetime. In joint discussion, Tales has proposed a means by which these two models can be combined. For this project, we will synthesise the two models and investigate this extended UDW model in the context of relativistic quantum information. This collaboration will be beneficial to both the University of Waterloo and the University of Queensland, as it will further the study of the atom-light interaction in relativistic quantum mechanics and its applications to relativistic quantum information.

Street Crossing Decision Making in Older Adults Using fNIRS

The proposed project delves into understanding the role of the decision making areas of the brain in street crossing decisions, specifically examining changes that occur in older adults (OA). Age-related changes may impede timely visuomotor integration in OA, potentially increasing the risk of traffic collisions. Utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, the study aims to identify underlying cortical mechanisms driving risky street crossing behaviours in OA. By recruiting 30 participants, including 15 younger and 15 older adults, the in-lab session involves a modified street crossing paradigm on a treadmill. Virtual pedestrians cross at varying speeds, creating decision-making scenarios, while fNIRS measures prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity. Anticipated outcomes include slower decision making response time, decreased accuracy, and altered PFC activation in older adults. The project’s innovation lies in using fNIRS to explore neural correlates, contributing to insights on age-related visuomotor integration changes and informing interventions for improved pedestrian safety in older populations.
