Effects of driver’s cell phone use while driving on collision risk in different traffic conditions

The objective of this project is to understand how cell phone use leads to risky driver behavior and how such behavior affects
vehicle interaction and collision risk in different traffic conditions (e.g., uncongested and congested). The study will include the
following tasks:
1. Identify the association of driver characteristics (age, gender, frequency of cell phone use, driving experience) with cell phone
use while driving
2. Understand how cell phone use while driving affects driver performance measures
3. Understand the difference in the effects on driver distraction between the conversation on cell phones and the manipulation of
cell phones (dialing and texting)
4. Examine how behavior of distracted drivers due to cell phone use changes in different traffic conditions
5. Evaluate the effect of cell phone use on collision risk based on surrogate safety measures and vehicle conflicts
The findings of this study will help understand more general impacts of cell phone use while driving on traffic safety.

To analyze and identify White Box techniques that can be used to protect cryptographic operations of various ciphers, starting with SM4 Symmetric Block Cipher

White-box cryptography seeks to maintain the secrecy of cryptographic keys used by software, despite an attacker having full control over the software. This project extends the work by Dr. Lin on the Chinese cipher SM4, as well as its application to a further cipher.
The goal of this project is: 1) To implement a complete white-box design of SM4 based on the concepts, and to implement tests, as identified by Dr. Lin; and then to determine the level of security that has been achieved. 2) To repeat point 1, but in which SM4 is replaced by a second cipher, for which we expect to select one of SHA2, SHA3, SM3 or ECC during the second half-year of the project based on market analysis and customer feedback.
The deliverable of the first part of this project will be the first generation of white-box SM4 implementation, which will put Irdeto in a strong position to improve its market presence and influence in China and to benefit from the Chinese market. Development of a white-box version of a widely used cipher selected by Irdeto for the second phase will maintain and extend this position in the Chinese market.

Evaluating the performance of starch and flour ingredients using Rapid Visco Analyzer 4800 at high heating temperatures

In this project, the intern will have the opportunity to work in Perten Instruments Canada and Carbohydrate Chemistry and Utilization Laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan to use the latest model of one instrument (Rapid Visco Analyzer 4800; developed by Perten Instruments) to evaluate the functionality of starch and flour ingredients. The new instrument has the capability to heat starch/flour slurry up to 140°C, which is a significant improvement from previous models as they can only reach a heating temperature of 95°C. This unique feature will enable food ingredient and processing companies to evaluate the performance of starch and flour ingredients during high temperature food processing, such as in the manufacture of canned, extruded, and dairy products. The research will generate new knowledge that will be useful for the food industry to utilize this new instrument to better identify ingredients for the preparation of high-quality food products.

Preliminary Investigation of Innovative Processes to Recover Nickel from the Decar Deposit

The Decar nickel deposit is located in British Columbia. With more than 2 billion tons of reserves grading 0.2% Ni the deposit represents a significant resources. The nickel occurs in an uncommon mineral awaruite which is an alloy of nickel and iron. Due to its strong ferro-magnetic properties and high density (SG 8.0) it should be readily recoverable using magnetic separation followed by gravity concentration. However, the presence of significant amounts of magnetite which as similar physical properties makes it difficult to separate the awaruite from the magnetite. The deposit has been studied since the mid 1990s and thus far there has been no metallurgical solution. The proposed investigation is a scoping level study aimed at investigating a range of novel approaches. This short term study will be the basis for a larger longer term investigation of the more promising approaches.

Scale-up of a Green Plasticizer

Plasticizers are used to increase the flexibility and workability of relatively rigid polymers such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). For decades, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP and sometimes termed as dioctyl phthalate (DOP)) was the most common plasticizer used in PVC formulations. However, DEHP has been shown to have negative health effects, such as being an endocrine disruptor. Recently, DEHP has been banned for use in children’s toys and phthalate alternatives are rapidly being offered. We have been developing succinate-based esters that biodegrade to non-toxic metabolites after being discarded while also performing as well or better than DEHP in blend formulations. The previous internship established a promising formulation based on diheptyl succinate (DHPS) with sustainable building blocks and a streamlined process that obeys almost all the 12 principles of green chemistry.

Modeling of ASTM A27 carbon steel hydraulic turbine runner degradation by synergistic effects of erosion-cavitation and corrosion under dynamic turbulent flow

In hydropower plants like any other plants, part failures normally contribute to high maintenance and repair costs; revenue lost due to downtime and cost of replacement power; decreased operating efficiencies; and reduction of equipment service life. In working conditions, the flow of water over the part has a great effect on the rate of corrosion. This means that the shape and condition of the parts in use will have a significant impact on their lifetime, as even a small scratch could cause affect how solution moves over the part, and therefore how it will corrode. In this project we propose a combined experimental and simulation study of the corrosion of materials that are directly used in hydroelectric applications. By mimicking the working environment of these materials, we will develop predictive corrosion models that will support Hydro-Québec in their technology development.

Modélisation de la production de citrate par la levure Yarrowia lipolytica

L’acide citrique est un acide produit par les microorganismes, plantes et animaux. Il joue un rôle central dans le métabolisme de pratiquement tous les organismes vivants mais il est aussi utilisé comme additif alimentaire pour la diversité de ses propriétés fonctionnelles (régulateur d’acidité, chélatant, acidulant, et antioxydant). Yarrowia lipolytica est une levure oléagineuse GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) connue pour sa capacité à accumuler de grandes quantités de lipides mais elle est aussi utilisée pour la production d’acides organiques (principalement l’acide citrique). L’objectif est de proposer une stratégie de modélisation du métabolique de Yarrowia lipolytica capable de prédire la production de citrate et son optimisation. Le modèle devrait permettre l’identification des leviers d’optimisation de la production de citrate qui seront ensuite testés et validés expérimentalement.
