Increasing the biomonitoring potential of water boatmen (Hemiptera: Corixidae) in Alberta

In the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada, wetland consolidation and agrichemicals are potentially threatening aquatic life. The water boatmen are a family of aquatic insects with 42 species in Alberta that are monitored
province-wide by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. However, currently only a small proportion of the water boatmen collected in the monitoring program are identifiable to the species level. In this project, the intern
will create an updated taxonomic key to the water boatmen of Alberta, which includes females and where possible, larvae, which will increase the group’s utility as bioindicators. As well, the intern will conduct a field study of the
effects of wetland consolidation drainage, salinity and pesticides on water boatman abundance, diversity, and species composition, to determine whether water boatman assemblages integrate these types of environmental change that are predominant in agricultural regions in predictable ways.

ICaRN-III: Investigation of Fragmentation, Draw Control, Water Flow and Ground Response to Better Assess and Mitigate Inrush, Stress and Slope Geohazards in Cave Mining

The proposed project aims to develop and validate new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep mass-mining projects. Deep mass-mining is
key for delivering the copper and other critical minerals needed for the transition towards clean energy and electric cars as near-surface resources are depleted. The proposed research will see six interns working closely with the
industry partner and several operating mines to develop reliable mitigation strategies to improve safety and environmental stewardship. This will be done through research that integrates laboratory testing, mine monitoring
data, machine learning, physical modelling, and advanced computer simulations to better understand the underlying controlling factors. This project will also contribute to the International Caving Research Network
(ICaRN), a Canadian initiative directed at maintaining Canada’s competitiveness in the international mining industry. The research network includes a multi-disciplinary group of representatives from industry and academia
covering the fields of geology, cave mining, geomechanics, and mineral processing.

Exploring AI Explainability Opportunities for Developing and Deploying Trustworthy ML Models

Protecting artificially Intelligent systems (AIS) is a demanding task Until recently, ML systems were not able to take an active role in general purpose or commercial applications, due to the lack of applicable algorithms, tools, hardware resources and most importantly training data. With the advancement of the internet, an abundance of training data is now available and has accelerated the rapid development of AIS, e.g., Chatbots using Large Language Models, image classifications, autonomous driving, etc. However, these technologies have their own limitations and risks. There is a growing concern about adversarial resistance of the AI technologies, unbiasedness, and inexplicability of the decisions AISs are making. These concerns largely fall under the AI Governance (AIG) umbrella. The sole purpose of AIG is to make AI technology more trusted, explainable, robust, and protect it from unwanted changes. TrojAI is working actively to address these issues and developing a solution to achieve better governance. This research will focus on how AI models can be better explained and prevent adversarial attacks. It will investigate, implement available model explainability, visualization techniques, and propose, develop, or modify new ones if required. It will also investigate and develop new AIG tools for feature engineering and performance monitoring.

Experimental Investigation of the Performance of GFRP Straight and Bent Bars as Flexural Reinforcement of Glulam Beams

The proposed research investigates the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a means of flexural reinforcement for glulam beams. Engineered wood products (EWPs) such as glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) allow for wood to be used in a larger array of applications. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) can be used as a method of reinforcing timber elements, commonly in the form of sheets or bars. Despite the recent uptake in mass timber construction, the Canadian codes and standards, lack provisions regarding FRP reinforced glulam members. The research program will include testing of twenty-two full scale beams, four unreinforced and eighteen with varying reinforcement schemes, under static loading. Small- scale testing will be done to determine the materials properties of both the wood and the FRP for later use in analysis and modelling. This research will provide a foundation for understanding the interaction between of GFRP rebar and glulam.

Pre-to-post deployment vulnerability scanning for containers

The project is in the important domain of container security where containerization is an emerging technology
transforming the way a wide-range of applications are recently being deployed. This project will address unique
security threats mainly due to the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that are commonly found in container
technologies. Particularly, the intern will build a comprehensive framework that will offer both pre- and postdeployment
vulnerability scanning methods on container images and container runtimes, respectively. The predeployment
scanning method will allow to proactively prevent security damages on a containerized environment
(including co-located tenants and cloud providers). The post-deployment method will enable a continuous security
guarantee in a containerized environment. As a result, the partner organization will build the unique capabilities
to provide a proactive to runtime security solution to container-based businesses. At the same time, the intern will
be trained with highly demanding research and technical skills in this emerging field.

Rethinking Waste as Resource: Identifying Best Practices for Product and Packaging Stewardship

Current global consumption patterns are creating a significant pressure on the biodiversity of the planet, challenging the business as usual linear model of production which extracts virgin resources and disposes of waste indiscriminately. Despite the large sum of waste produced, only a portion of those are recycled or reused as valuable resource for future production of consumer goods. Many businesses are recognizing this unique niche market and the benefits of reevaluating waste as a resource. This research focuses on identifying key strength and weaknesses in the current regional and municipal waste disposal and recycling initiatives in Canada. Additionally, this research will identify best practices that can be implemented to grow recycling rates of producer packaging by encouraging closed loop and cyclical waste management practices. The data generated will ultimately serve to develop pilot programs that address gaps within the current waste management initiatives in Canada. This research will greatly assist in the partner organization, Reclay StewardEdge’s mission of inspiring and supporting industry leaders in implementing leading stewardship solutions.

Human connections to nature in Niagara Peninsula Watershed protected areas

This research aims to understand how visitors to Niagara Peninsula watershed (NPW) protected areas connect with nature, their intentions for pro-environmental behaviour, and the actions they take to care for nature, the environment, and natural resources. We also synthesize knowledge about interventions taken by park managers around to world to promote pro-environmental and stewardship behaviours in visitors. In addition, we highlight the experiences of newcomers to Canada, who share their photography and descriptions of themselves connecting to nature in the NPW, showcased in a local exhibit. Finally, we synthesize findings to make policy recommendations for Niagara Parks and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority about how they might hone their programs, policies, and messaging to promote stewardship among diverse users of their natural areas.

Automated gameplay testing using reinforcement learning

In this research project, we would like to improve game testing using Reinforcement Learning (RL). By using RL, we can create intelligent agents that can play games independently and give us valuable feedback on the game’s quality. This will make game testing more effective and efficient. We also plan to explore a new approach called offline RL, where we can reuse data from previous game builds instead of having to interact with the game environment directly. This research project will enhance the game testing approach, which leads to better-quality games and a more streamlined development process.

Cytotoxic activities of novel formulation from Blue-O Medical Technology against pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor survival upon detection. Pancreatic ducts are channels responsible for secreting pancreatic juices into the small intestines to aid in digestion. Pancreatic duct cancers account for up to 80% of the total pancreatic cancers, and current treatment are not efficacious to control the progress of the disease. Preliminary results using new formulations from Blue-O medical show a specific killing of pancreatic cancer cells. In this project, we aim to determine the mechanisms of cell killing of the new formulation. Results of this study are necessary before progressing to the next stage of animal models.
