Feature Selection From Traffic Analysis For Computer Network Backdoor Detection

Attacks on computer networks happen every day, but many go undetected. Not all attacks succeed, but the ones that do often leave so called “back doors” behind that allow the attackers to easily gain access back into the computer network without having to attack it further. This project focuses on the use of mathematics and statistics to determine what features of network traffic (the data flowing on the wire between a computer network and the rest of the internet) can be used to determine if an unauthorized back door is present in a computer network. Determining these features is essential to being able to detect the presence of a back door, because the methods that are in place to do so require knowledge of what to look for before they can find it. TRTech, an industry R+D consortium, is sponsoring this project. The results will also be used to further improve the detection capabilities of Seccuris’s (Canada’s leading information assurance provider, and member of TRTech) network monitoring service.

The impact of user and virtual agent dominance in collaborative work

Our research project aims to explore two interconnected objectives: understanding the impact of dominance in the collaboration between virtual assistants and human operators, and examining how an individual’s level of dominance affects their perception of a virtual assistant’s dominance during initial interactions. To achieve these goals, we will conduct a user study where participants, interacting with a virtual assistant for the first time, will perform tasks designed to foster collaboration. This approach will help us deepen our understanding of the psychological dynamics influencing these interactions and explore ways to leverage these insights to enhance virtual assistants’ design and functionality in collaborative settings.

Partnered health system innovation for people who use drugs

“Health System Innovation for People Who Use Drugs (PWUD)” is an implementation project that will help translate research into co-designed supports. This project is a collaboration between individuals with lived and living experience of currently illegal (i.e., non-alcohol, non-tobacco, non-cannabis) drug use and health system partners in Edmonton, AB – Boyle Street Community Services (BSCS) and the Inner City Health and Wellness Program (ICHWP). In 2023, BSCS and ICHWP collaborated to conduct a PWUD-administered survey of structurally vulnerable PWUD in central Edmonton. The survey data provides an assessment of PWUD health and social service needs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and related health and social syndemics (e.g. houselessness, drug poisoning). Now what is needed is a process that aids the partners to co-design and prioritize implementation innovations. The Mitacs Elevate Fellowship will support Renée McBeth to coordinate a community-based research team in partnership with the Streetworks harm reduction program at BSCS. The research team will document PWUD-voiced priorities for improving available services and supports using sense-making methods (qualitative micro-narratives). Further, the team will host roundtables to develop recommendations from Indigenous PWUD and knowledge keepers with experience partnering with the health system. At each stage, we will identify community assets and strengths that can be mobilized to implement the proposed supports. The project will drive health system innovation and improve health by assisting the partner organizations and other health system actors to safely support PWUD partners and co-develop effective and inclusive responses to the opioid poisoning crisis.

Quantitative scanning electron microscopy characterization to determine if microfibrillated cellulose is considered a nanomaterial in food, food-contact and cosmetic regulations

The proposed project will use microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) from the University of Maine Process Development Center (UMaine MFC) as a reference material to develop a robust dispersion, sample preparation, image capture, and image analysis methodology to determine whether it is considered a nanomaterial under different regulatory frameworks. The methodology will employ scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and once a detailed standard operating procedure (SOP) is established, we will apply the approach to evaluate whether five industrial forms of MFC from Canadian manufacturers meet nanomaterial regulatory definitions. This work will allow Vireo Advisors Canada to develop an SOP to determine if industrial cellulose materials meet the regulatory definition of a nanomaterial in a number of jurisdictions and in turn what regulatory requirements are needed for the approval of these materials in different sectors. This is an essential step required for safety demonstration and regulatory approval of MFC not only in Canada but also in the US, EU and other markets. In the longer term, Vireo can apply the methodology developed in this project to other Canadian clients’ products to facilitate regulatory approvals and commercial adoption in Canada and other countries. This project will help promote safer and more sustainable material entry into the marketplace and help keep Canada competitive globally.

Slag accumulation in electric arc furnace: understanding and assessment through electric diagnostic

The Plasma Resource Recovery System (PRRS), a technology developed by PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PCI), is a plasma gasification process that turns municipal solid waste (MSW) into energy and other valuable products. During operation in an Electric ArcFurnace (EAF), the MSW is gasified to form syngas which is used to generate electricity. Metals, metals oxides and inorganics, also known as slag, melt and collect at the bottom of the reactor. When the EAF’s power is idled at its minimum for maintenance, the slagaccumulates and solidifies at the bottom making it hard to tap and the effective reactor volume is reduced. It is hypothesized that the arc formed in the EAF stops flowing through the slag bath during maintenance. The purpose of this project is to determine the critical slag height after which this occurs. A measurable electrical parameter linked to the slag’s height will be identified and a methodology to measure it will be developed, as means for online monitoring and to determine when tapping is required. The technology and methodology developed will be transferred to PCI where validation experiments will take place.

Embarking on a West-East Reciprocal Learning Journey: A Narrative Inquiry into Generalist and Specialist Teaching Models

This narrative inquiry, situated within Xu and Connelly’s SSHRC Partnership Grant Project, has two purposes: (1) understanding the strengths of the generalist teaching model in Canadian elementary schools and the specialist teaching model in Chinese elementary schools in mathematics education, and (2) investigating what can be reciprocally learned in terms of curriculum and pedagogies for teachers who adopt these two teaching models. The research fieldwork has focused on one Canadian generalist teacher and one Chinese math specialist with one Canadian principal and one Chinese principal as supplementary participants. The field texts (data) collection methods include artefact collection, participant observation and one-on-one interviews. The study identifies the strengths of the Canadian generalist and Chinese specialist teaching models within their sociocultural and historical contexts and explores potential reciprocal learning opportunities. This study can offer insights for both generalist and specialist teachers to reflect on their teaching practices within their respective teaching models and potentially enhance their teaching practices based on their local contexts. The University of Windsor and Beijing Foreign Studies University stand to benefit from this project by gaining insights into teacher education program reform and strengthening their established research partnership.

Improving the Performance of Montel’s LoopAir High-Density Vertical Farming System

Canadian indoor farmers are facing significant challenges related to out-of-season production, including pricing and consistency of electrical supply, pollination, and competition with international producers. The overarching goal of this project is to help Canadian industrial partners address some of these challenges through the development of sustainable technologies. Therefore, the goal of the proposed project is to improve the existing high-density indoor vertical farming platform developed by our industrial partner. This enhancement involves integrating advanced air circulation technology recently developed by the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) team. The technology originated from a homegrown Innovation challenge project funded by the Weston Family Foundation. The primary goal of this Mitacs project is to optimize air circulation and recover the heat generated within the vertical farm environment, thus maximizing its efficiency and productivity. This project represents a significant step forward in addressing challenges in high-density indoor growing platforms by integrating an innovative air circulation system into existing indoor vertical farms.
The optimized platform will provide indoor farmers with the technology to produce a minimum of three crops annually with the possibility of continuous replacement of plants in each growing area. The outcome of this project will greatly benefit the industrial partner by gaining a competitive edge in vertical farming technologies. This adaptable technology can also be retrofitted into existing greenhouse setups, further enhancing the industrial partner’s versatility and amplifying Canada’s production capacity.
