Real-time visual feedback in swimming – FORM Swim Goggles (1)

Form Athletica Inc.’s augmented reality swim goggles (FORM goggles) are on the leading frontier of
augmented reality sport technology. With their see-through display and ability to track and display
numerous swimming performance metrics in real-time, swimmers have the opportunity to train in a
smarter and more efficient way. Exploiting data from the FORM goggles will have benefits to the sport of
swimming, and to the broader AR wearable technology industry. We first established the validity and
reliability of the FORM goggles (for metrics of length count, length time, stroke count, stroke rate, and
stroke type) through comparing the goggle sensor output files to time-stamped video capture of recorded
swim sessions. We are now evaluating the onboard heart rate (HR) monitor and assessing the ability of
swimmers to comply with a 12-week workout program using the guided workout feature within the
goggles against a control group. We will also study the impact of real-time feedback on swimming
performance over the 12 weeks using critical swim speed as a performance measure.

Preclinical toxicity screening array for novel antiviral compounds

The trainees of this project will develop methods and techniques to test the effects of antivirals on white blood cells and set up a platform to test the preclinical toxicity of new potential antiviral compounds. White blood cells can exacerbate viral infections, yet there are few studies on how antivirals may have off target effects on these cells. Such studies can lead to more in-depth studies on white blood cells as to how they may affect infection outcomes. The preclinical toxicity testing platform can facilitate the lead optimization stage of new potential antiviral (and other) drugs, so they can be developed more efficiently into therapeutics.

Manitoba Mathematics Action Research Project

Recently PLS has signed a contract with the Ministry of Education in Manitoba. The
province has been experiencing declining math scores across the province in both
international tests such as PISA and in their provincial standardized tests. Manitoba is
deeply committed to improving students mathematical achievement and as a result has
hired PLS to develop an evidence based professional learning model that will help deepen teachers understanding of math and pedagogy, and to measure the impact of this professional learning on student achievement. Once we are able to demonstrate an increase in student achievement, this professional learning model will be scaled across
the province and potentially to other jurisdictions across Canada.

Computational Scanning of lmidazolium-based Anion Exchange Membrane materials

One promising approach for the advancement of both fuel cells and electrolyzers is the incorporation of anion exchange membranes. These would provide many potential benefits, such as a significantly decrease cost as they do not rely on expensive precious metal catalysts. However, anion exchange membranes still face multiple challenges, one of them being their chemical stability. The properties of these membranes can be greatly influenced by the exact structure of the organic molecules used in their production. The number of possible structures is too large for any exhaustive search to find structures with the desired properties. To handle the incredibly large search space, the combination of quantum chemical simulations and machine learning models is applied to the problem through constructing a materials discovery tool. In the scope of this project, a valuable collaboration with experimentalist will enable the enhancement of this tool. A direct insight into the workflows and challenges of the experientialists working on these materials will be given to the intern. Importantly, the unmediated evaluation of the tool will be made possible through synthesis and characterization of the compounds proposed by the tool.

Using fact sheets integrated into GP software to improve understanding of low back pain: a feasibility study

Scientific evidence indicates that patient education for low back pain can reassures them, improves their health condition and reduces healthcare utilization Easily accessible, science-based fact sheets that can be passed on to patients could be a simple option to address the underutilization of patient education by healthcare professionals. Companies have developed new tools to put these fact sheets in the hands of healthcare professionals via a consultation software. However, the feasibility of using such tools is unknown. As part of this project, we will test the feasibility of using low back pain fact sheets integrated into a medical consultation software by collecting data on the number of users recruited, the feasibility of the data collection process and the proportion of medical consultations for which the healthcare professional will have used a fact sheet. By intervening directly at the point of care, this project has significant potential to improve the health of patients as well as the health system in general by testing a system capable of implementing self-management support and systematically evaluating factual information on a very prevalent health condition in the population.

Katinnganiq Makerspace Network – Digital Marketing Plan Development

Themodel for Makerspaces in Nunavut is focused on building pathways to life promotion and mental wellness for youth firmly grounded in Indigenous values by nurturing creativity, fostering agency and building positive relationships while engaging in the expanded field of technology at the intersection of art, culture, science and education. Given the physical distances & remoteness of the 25 communities across the territory of Nunavut, community development is a pivotal element to the success of the Katinnganiq Makerspace Network’s mission of creating makerspaces in, ideally, all 25 communities. The intern we have identified for this project will contribute to the Community Development project by developing a Digital Marketing Plan that will bolster Katinnganiq Makerspace Network’s efforts of liaising with all 25 communities.

Ultrastructure of GABA, glycine and glutamate co-transmitting synapses in the immature brainstem

The synapse forms the core unit of information transfer in the brain, and most brain disorders, both developmental and degenerative, are caused by synaptic dysfunction. Understanding synaptic organization is therefore central to both basic research and health research in neuroscience. Our still-evolving understanding of the synapse includes relatively recent recognition that many synapses use multiple chemical signals, known as “co-transmission.” Synapses are so small that we need electron microscopy (EM) to study how co-transmitting synapses are organized, but most methods used to prepare samples for EM distort biological tissue. While innovative methods such as high-pressure freezing (HPF) can help minimize tissue distortion, this approach has not yet been used with the challenging brainstem tissue in which my lab in Canada studies co-transmitting synapses. I will work with American experts in EM and HPF to optimize HPF methods for brainstem tissue in order to examine the organization of co-transmitting synapses in the immature brainstem. This project will advance goals of both labs by expanding a new technique into another brain area and by answering specific questions about co-transmission.

Développement d’un nouveau moteur de positionnement de mannequin en 3D

Les logiciels de simulation numérique humaine permettent aux ergonomes et aux designers d’analyser le profil des tâches de travail de manière ergonomique et s’assurer en fin de compte de l’optimisation de la tâche. Les logiciels de simulation actuelle demande un temps de mise en forme par rapport au temps de simulation. Une grande partie de ce temps de mise en forme est due à l’incertitude générée par le positionnement du modèle numérique au début et à la fin de la tâche. Le but de ce projet est de développer un moteur de positionnement efficace et répétable permettant de réduire le temps de mise en forme tout en fournissant une simulation humaine réaliste dans le sens biomécanique.
