Tick vectored disease biobank

Lyme disease is one of the many diseases transmitted by ticks. The rate of these diseases is rapidly increasing in Canada. Diagnosing these diseases is difficult but examination of biopsy, necropsy and autopsy tissue can help to understand the full and varied effects of the disease and ultimately reduce misdiagnoses. Biobanks are required for this type of research. Biobanks are a research collection of archived tissue samples, obtained at the request of patients or patient families, with the assistance of patient advocates and the cooperation of their physicians who value research but lack the facilities, infrastructure and molecular tools to conduct this type of research. This project involves establishment of a biobank of tissues from individuals suspected to have a tick-vectored disease and development of the research tools to effectively and definitively query the biobank.

Real time optimal control of aerial manipulator

The goal of this project is to design an indoor navigation & sensing system for our UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) especially for under glass vegetable greenhouse nurseries environment. Plant Maintenance Operations (PMOs) refers to all the activities, such as inspection, pruning, and harvesting that are necessary to sustain a plant or a tree. PMOs have traditionally been performed manually. To optimally harvest fruits and vegetable, the drone first needs to able to Simultaneously Localize and Map (SLAM) its environment. The UAV will be designed to use sensors that would be used in the smart control system. In addition to SLAM, the drone will utilize a combination of other inexpensive sensors to perform sensor fusion of inexpensive sensors by developing a filter observer.

Réalisation d’une analyse de regroupement de conseillers financiers selon l’exposition au risque de leur portefeuille comme nouvel outil de mesure de performance

Le but de ce projet est de créer un outil pour séparer les conseillers financiers en différents groupes à l’image des besoins des clients qu’ils représentent. Une fois séparés, l’entreprise partenaire sera capable de juger la performance des conseillers financiers selon les besoins des clients qu’ils ont plutôt que par un rendement absolu, où la position financière des clients, leur volonté de prendre des risques ainsi que la préservation de leur capital peuvent ne pas être prises en compte. Grâce à cet outil, les intérêts des clients devraient être mieux alignés avec ceux des conseillers financiers, ce qui devrait hausser le niveau de satisfaction de l’organisme partenaire quant au niveau de service offert aux clients.

Partnering to innovate for sustainable development – Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Working Group

This project is part of a research program to develop a model of sustainability-oriented innovation processes. The model would allow Canadian organizations to innovate systematically and deliberately and become leaders in innovating for sustainable development. We will work to develop the model with Canada’s Oil Sand’s Innovation Alliance and its members: Cenovus Energy Inc., Shell Canada Energy and Suncor Energy Inc. The Mitacs project enables postdoctoral interns to engage in the research and be involved involved intimately with the partners, including managing the day-to-day activities of the project; collecting data on site; analyzing data; preparing reports and documentation; and managing other student research assistants and interns. The project will produce reports to the partner organizations that would help them improve their innovation processes, as well as academic publications that would share the results with a broader community of academics and practitioners.

AUDIT TOOL DEVELOPMENT FOR ENHANCING AERODYNAMICS OF AIRCRAFTS

With the rise in fuel prices, operators are constantly pushing aircraft manufacturers to find new ways to reduce their aircraft’s operating costs. One of the objectives of this project is to create a Bombardier toolkit for the C Series. This will allow the operators to input parameters such as the miss-rigging present on their control surfaces, missing components, damage that occurred to the aircraft during flight or on the ground. Using Bombardier’s proprietary information, the fuel burn occurring due to these issues can be computed. This data allows the operator to judge whether to undertake the corrective actions or to continue to fly the aircraft in an aerodynamically unclean state. Furthermore, this analytical data can be transformed into statistical data providing a great detail to the operators on how they C Series fleet is performing. TO BE CONT’D

Q SERIES – MAINTENANCE PROGRAM EVOLUTION (Q SERIES C CHECK)

This project is a statistical study to verify whether the average interval between each heavy maintenance inspection checks, also known as C-Checks, can be escalated from 6000 Flight Hours (FH) to 8000 FH for Q400 aircraft. The internship serves as a crucial part of this heavily analysis- and review-oriented process. Interns are responsible for three stages. The first stage includes organizing issues logged by pilots and maintenance into categories of ATA 100 (Air Transportation Association of America) tasks set for C-Check maintenance and summarizing them. The second stage includes retrieving the Mean-Time between Failures (MTBF) for every component associated with these ATA tasks. Finally, the third task includes calculating the Mean-Time between Unscheduled Removals (MTBUR) rates of components listed in the second
stage. Based on the data collected, the analysts then conduct a Hypothesis Test to decide how maintenance intervals should be altered.

ADVANCED TRAINING PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT – RELIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE COST TRAINING

Maintenance Engineering (ME) at Bombardier Aerospace, Toronto is currently offering a 3-day-in-class Reliability and Maintenance Cost Training to airlines operating Bombardier products. The idea behind this training package is to increase the understanding of the breadth of data that needs to be collected to make logical inferences and analytical methods that can be applied to make judgements about improving both the reliability performance and availability of the fleet, aircraft, system, sub-system or component. Maintenance Engineering’s operational analysis services looks at an operators data and sets about making recommendations to improve a combination of fleet maintenance costs, fleet performance and maintenance downtime. ME has a plan to convert this 3-day training into online modules and start offering an advanced training package in classroom setting for airlines interested in a more in-depth understanding of reliability and maintenance cost concepts.

Evaluating a Single-Site Supportive Housing Program for People with Serious Mental Illness and Histories of Homelessness

This project will involve an evaluation of a program to house people who have serious mental illness, and who have had experiences of homelessness. There will be two parts to this study. First, the study will examine how this program has been implemented. A study of the implementation of the program will provide information that the program can use to improve how the program functions. Second, the study will examine the outcomes for people who are housed through the program. A key outcome to be examined will be whether people who are housed able to keep their housing.
