Evaluation of North Atlantic Right Whale Surveillance Coverage & Intensity in Atlantic Canada

Surveillance efforts of cetaceans in Canada follow systematic line transect survey designs. These surveys are designed to minimize variance between surveys to aid in abundance and distribution estimates of whales in Canadian waters. Following the shift of North Atlantic right whales (NARW) into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the introduction of fisheries and vessel management measures to mitigate injuries and mortalities to NARW, the objectives of the Government of Canada’s aerial surveillance program changed. Since 2017, surveillance activity has included surveillance for distribution and abundance estimates, as well as for dynamic management implementation. However, the line transect and stratification of habitats has not been updated to reflect this change in objectives, thus there continues to be interannual variability and gaps in our coverage for NARW protection. This project aims to quantify this variation and determine gaps in surveillance coverage to make recommendations that could improve management measure effectiveness. This work contributes to the Canada Wildlife Federation’s (CWF) ongoing work to quantify management measures and estimate whale occurrence throughout Atlantic Canada. CWF conducts science to support wildlife protection and for advocacy work, with the goal to promote the sustainable use of the oceans while protecting marine species.

Flexible electronics for heated glove control

Wearable devices are a promising technology for collecting and analyzing physiological and environmental data for various applications, including healthcare, sports and fitness, and occupational health and safety. In some settings, these wearable devices can also be integrated with actuation capabilities to interact with users.
The proposed research project focuses on applying wearable technologies to thermal comfort and regulation. This will be achieved through the design of heating gloves for Canadian workers in extreme cold environments, such as construction and mining. While protective gloves are essential in these environments, their bulkiness can be a drawback. They can limit dexterity and require a stronger grip, potentially contributing to carpal tunnel syndrome. Additionally, vibrations can exacerbate vibration-induced white finger, especially when hands are cold.
This project aims to explore the use of heating gloves. By generating sufficient warmth, the gloves can be thinner, reducing the needed gripping force while still providing thermal comfort and regulation. The project will focus on developing and programming a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) to control the heating element, which will be developed in a concurrent project.
This research will contribute to the growing field of wearable and printed textile electronics and their application to occupational health and safety.

Continuing to Promote Accessibility Through Seating in City Parks

Within the City of Edmonton, the Operations Program Delivery and Partnerships (OPDP) team is home to multiple parks programs that make Edmonton more livable, sustainable, and beautiful. The Benchmark Program is one such program. It was established to offer individuals and groups the opportunity to honour loved ones or to celebrate special occasions through the placement of a commemorative plaque on a bench in City parks and open spaces. The Benchmark program
also installs benches in new locations within City parkland, where there is a need for additional seating. The Access Design Guide, built to accompany Accessibility for People with Disabilities Policy C602, specifies that seating nodes shall be located every 100 m along pathways and trails for Metropolitan, District and Community parks in the City of Edmonton. The gap in the provision of benches has been assessed, but the results need to be further refined to guide future placement of benches.

Extending the level proximal subdifferential

Many real-world applications can be modeled as nonconvex optimization problems, such as the phase retrieval problem in medical imaging and matrix factorization problems in data analysis, just to name a few. Proximal-type algorithms serve as ideal candidates to resolve these nonconvex problems. Nevertheless, their convergence analysis remains challenging due to the lack of favorable properties and a uniform framework. Developing the novel extension of the level proximal subdifferential will enhance the mathematical foundation of proximal-type algorithms in the absence of convexity, anticipated to provide a uniform framework for the convergence analysis of these algorithms. As such, this project will bring new insights about the behavior of proximal-type algorithms for the nonconvex optimization problems, fostering better algorithmic solutions to computational challenges arisen from real-world scientific applications.

Investigating the Synergistic Effect of Light-Inducing and Ultrasonication on the Decoration of Single Atoms on TiO2 Nanosheets for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

The project aims to advance clean energy technologies by addressing critical challenges in photocatalytic hydrogen generation using TiO2 nanomaterials. While TiO2 demonstrates strong photocatalytic abilities, harnessing solar energy for renewable energy production, it faces obstacles such as high recombination rates and slow kinetics for hydrogen evolution, necessitating the use of metal cocatalysts. Single-atom (SA) decorated catalysts show promise in enhancing efficacy and reducing system costs. This project focuses on two atomic-scale defect engineering techniques sonochemical and light-induced methods to decorate TiO2 nanosheets with single Pt atoms, increasing hydrogen generation rates. These methods create surface-exposed atomic-scale defects conducive to SA deposition, enabling efficient hydrogen production. The project’s outcomes are poised to propel sustainable energy technology, addressing challenges in clean energy production and promoting societal and environmental well-being. By sharing data and publishing papers resulting from this project, the University of Alberta and the University of Siegen can establish themselves as key players in the renewable energy industry, contributing to its development.

Les partenariats publics privés en sécurité au Québec : un état de la situation

Ce projet a pour objectif de dresser un panorama des partenariats public privé en sécurité (PPPS) au Québec. Alors que la gouvernance partenariale en sécurité se profile comme un moyen de plus en plus privilégié pour produire, distribuer et contrôler la sécurité dans nos sociétés contemporaines, peu d’études empiriques ont cherché à en évaluer le nombre et leur forme. Cette recherche, en partenariat avec le Bureau de la Sécurité Privée et la Banque Nationale du Canada, se donne comme ambition de combler ce vide, sur le territoire québécois. Elle servira à identifier les bonnes pratiques, ainsi que les limites et obstacles à ces nouvelles formes de collaboration, ce qui s’avérera utile aux décideurs politiques, aux organisations policières et aux acteurs de l’industrie de la sécurité privée.
