Professional Sport Club Value: Competition Time

Four leagues, the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB, dominate professional sport in North America. One of the disparities between all four leagues is the number of regular season games played, or for the purpose of this study competition time. There are also large differences between league revenues and thus the study will examine if there is a relationship between league revenue and competition time. A series of studies will be analyzed to determine if in fact there is a relationship between competition time and league. The results of the study will show the amount of competition time that is beneficial for each league in order to generate the highest amount of revenue. This study is beneficial to the partner organization, as it will provide a large professional sport database for client proposals and projects. The results can also be used to leverage future projects, attracting new clients in the professional sport sector.

Assessment of life cycle environmental and economic sustainability of kidney care services: A case study of British Columbia

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century, with approximately one in four worldwide, attributable to environmental factors (1). Ironically, healthcare itself is responsible for 5% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, equivalent to airplane travel (2). Within healthcare, kidney care services have substantial environmental impacts compared to other medical treatments. These services include non-dialysis care, dialysis treatments, and transplantation. Environmental impact studies of kidney care are in its infancy, and specifically, there have been no studies evaluating the impact of kidney care in Canada. This study will be the first life cycle assessment of therapies for kidney disease in BC. This will provide important information that will guide data driven decisions on sustainability, optimal patient outcomes and cost effectiveness.

Advancing initial state preparation techniques for ground state energy calculation in periodic solids with the quantum phase estimation algorithm

To design and produce better materials for construction and manufacturing, as well as discover new and improved drugs, scientists need to be able to predict properties of molecules or crystalline solids – ideally, before they are made in the lab. At the atomic level, these properties are governed by quantum mechanics, which makes the prediction process difficult. A quantum computer is a new type of scientific device that is itself built on quantum-mechanical principles, which could in principle allow it to be faster and more efficient at such material property predictions. However, to take advantage of the speed-up, new algorithms need to be created for quantum computers that are different from the classical algorithms that physicists and chemists have been using so far. Quantum phase estimation (QPE) is one of these algorithms, and a team at Xanadu recently applied a novel scheme incorporating QPE to predicting the properties of cathodes of lithium-ion batteries. To further increase the efficiency of this algorithm, this project will focus on looking for improved initial guesses – based on the studies of such initial guesses from classical algorithms – to supply to the QPE algorithm.

Terahertz high-harmonic generation in graphene-metamaterial

Engineering graphene-based devices with exceptional nonlinear optical properties in the terahertz (THz) region play a crucial role in the advancement of THz technologies. We investigate how a metamaterial system consisting of a plasmonic structure enhances THz light-graphene interaction, thus leading to a higher nonlinearity in graphene. A variety of the plasmonic structures will be used to enhance driven THz field and efficiently generate high-harmonics in single-layer/multi-layer graphene. We will also explore how to isolate a weak third harmonic signal from graphene by using spectral filters and enhance its “signal-to-noise” ratio. The project relies on the use of a high-energy laser at the University of Bayreuth and high-field THz setup to drive graphene samples. Some of the samples will be fabricated and optimized on-site using nanofabrication equipment.

Development of an Electrodynamic Simulation Toolbox for Nanophotonics

Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations allow researchers to model complex devices and systems based on integrated micro/nano structures. The electrodynamic behaviour predicted by FDTD simulations match very well with the real physical systems, which significantly accelerates the development of novel devices. However, there are limitations in existing FDTD techniques to model metal nanoparticles on sub-100 nm length- scales, which are of great interest to research and industry. Due to the surface scattering properties in such nanoscale elements, the permittivity of bulk materials is no longer accurate and thus has to be modified according to the particle shape, size and crystallinity. To overcome this limit, this proposal describes a project to develop, in collaboration with Lumerical Solutions Inc., an FDTD toolbox that calculates a geometry-based permittivity, prior to starting FDTD simulations, in order to accurately model the optical properties of metal nanoparticles. The developed modeling capability will be validated with spectroscopy experiments.
