Assessing equity in urban forest distribution in Laval, Quebec

This project aims to assess the degree of sociospatial polarization of green space in the City of Laval, Quebec, compared to the Montreal Greater Metropolitan Area (Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, CMM) and identify which areas in the city have reached or have the potential to meet proposed metrics for distributional inequalities in green spaces. The project will also quantify relationships between proposed metrics and economic indicators, and evaluate whether target measures are more likely to be more equitably achieved if key areas, such as golfs, are preserved, or restored.

Do methodological trade-offs used to conduct rapid reviews of the literature lead to biased results and conclusions?

Systematic reviews are a type of research that collect and assess relevant information for a specific research question. However, they can take up to two years to complete. In situations with time constraints or limited resources, rapid reviews can provide decision-makers with evidence. Rapid reviews use modifications from systematic review processes, called trade-offs, resulting in less resources needed to reach a conclusion. However, they may lead to different studies being included in the review and different conclusions may be made. Our project focuses on investigating the impact of trade-offs on studies included and conclusions made in rapid reviews. The College of Chiropractors of British Columbia use rapid reviews to make policy decisions. As our partner in this proposal, this work will directly impact how they use research in their policy process, the practice of chiropractic, and the safety of patients and the public of the province.

Keyword Search in Relational Databases for Business Users Year Two

Much of the world’s high-quality data remains under lock in relational databases. Access is gained through relational query languages. This can suffice for people who are well versed in both SQL and in the schemas of databases. However, anyone who does not know SQL or who is not well versed in the schema is effectively locked out. Keyword search over relational databases was proposed a decade ago to offer an alternative way to query a database. While the general approach has merit, many refinements are needed, before it can be an effective product. Our goal is to build a Google-like search experience over relational databases. Comparing to previous approaches, we build a system to return meaningful answers and is applicable on databases with large and complex schema. This project is beneficial to Dapasoft Inc. since it has the capability of being an independent product and/or be combined with existing products.

Clarivent Bubble Helmet Verification

Many methods for providing respiratory support to patients are currently in use, however more commonly available techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are not appropriate for ventilation of patients with airborne infectious diseases due to the risk of aerosolization endangering other patients and hospital staff. Clarivent has develop a sealed device to provide non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) to patients and allow for the provision of respiratory therapy with widely available methods such as CPAP, while minimizing the risk of infection for other patients and staff. This project will focus on verification and validation of this device.

Everly Essentials- Retail Expansion

Everly is on a mission to transform our everyday self-care essentials so that they not only care for us but for the planet too. Roughly 50 million tons of waste is produced a year and most of it is shipped to / dumped in poor countries in Asia and Africa. Beauty and self-care product packaging contribute massively to this issue. We know there’s a better way to produce these products, which is why we started Everly. The first product we are tackling is candles. We’ve reimagined how we consume candles and developed a proprietary way to reduce waste around candle consumption. Another problem with candles is that most candles in the market are made with paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum that is not only toxic for humans but terrible for the environment. Additionally, typical candles use toxic fragrances (the fragrance industry is sadly unregulated by the FDA). All of Everly’s products are clean, meaning they are free of toxic ingredients & sustainable (compostable packaging). In 2022, we finally launched our brand online through our website (tryeverly.com), and in 2023, we’re looking forward to expand our footprint in select retailers.

Intelligent Query and Learning System for Logistics

This research project aims to create an Intelligent Query and Learning System (IQLS) that can integrate knowledge from multiple sources such as documents, web pages, voices, input texts, images, and videos. The IQLS will use learning and reasoning techniques to update the knowledge structures dynamically and allow multiple users to integrate their knowledge packages and train the system with different views to answer questions. The proposed system will provide a platform for users to create and integrate their own knowledge, which will be useful in supporting logistics knowledge management for logistic chains and services. The expected outcome of this project is to develop a novel adaptive knowledge structure with dynamic update based on multiple sources that can provide an efficient way to manage and query diverse data holdings collected in the Canadian Logistics Data Vault regarding logistics and transportation networks. This will be useful in emergency procedures and data retrieval for transportation networks, including accidents, extreme weather events, and CBRN defense.
