Community Ideas Factory: The Life Skills Project Year 1 Report

The third Community Ideas Factory Initiative (CIF) - The “Life Skills Project”, led by Sheridan College Professor, Dr. Sara J. Cumming was launched in July 2021. She is joined by co-investigators: Professor Dr. Julianne DiSanto, Professor Dr. Brandon McFarlane, Professor Mark Shufflebottom, Dr. Humaira Siddiqui, and Leah Burton, MSW. This is an NSERC/SSHRC CCSIF funded research collaboration between Sheridan College, Big Brothers Big Sisters Halton Hamilton (BBBS), Bridging the Gap (BtG), Children’s Aid Society (CAS), Food For Life (FFL), Halton Multicultural Council: Connections (HMC), Halton Women’s Place, Halton Region, Kerr Street Mission (KSM), Oakville Community Foundation (OCF), Oak Park Neighbourhood Center (OPNC), Peterborough Housing Corporation, Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Services (SAVIS), Shifra, United Way Halton Hamilton (UWHH), Woodgreen, and YMCA of Oakville. The project aims to develop quality, creative and applied virtual life skills programming that will enhance the lives of marginalized populations in Halton Region and its surrounding areas. The life skills programming will be a comprehensive, lived-experience and EDI-informed program that includes several key topics and associated interactive applications that will allow the learner to practice the essential life skills being taught in a virtual setting to prevent homelessness. The result of this project will be a virtual Learning Management System (LMS) shared across the Halton Region and beyond

E liberaci dal malware

PublishedGli strumenti tecnologici sono parte integrante della vita quotidiana e proprio per tale ragione è bene che vengano utilizzati in modo sicuro e consapevole. Lo scopo di questa introduzione all’educazione civica digitale è rendere consapevoli gli utenti dell’importanza della sicurezza informatica. È fondamentale conoscere i pericoli che si possono nascondere dietro il progresso tecnologico, “e liberarci dal malware”. Questo quaderno, co-finanziato da Cassa Rurale di Ledro – Banca di Credito Cooperativo –, è utile per capire meglio temi come ad esempio cybersecurity e privacy, divenuti ormai indispensabili nel mondo digitale

Evaluation of Pure Oxygen Systems at the Willamette Hatchery: Completion Report.

The oxygen transfer columns at the Williamette Hatchery are based on a design used by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The geometry and internal construction of the Mlilliamette Hatchery Oxygen Transfer Columns differ from the Michigan columns in several important ways. The performance of the columns was evaluated during May, 1990. The absorption efficiency of the 24 and 30 inch Williamette Hatchery Oxygen Transfer Columns ranged from 30 to 60%, which is comparable to published information on the Michigan columns. The performance of the 24 inch Williamette Hatchery Oxygen Transfer Columns was superior to either the 30 inch columns or the Michigan columns. The yearly oxygen demand for the Williamette Hatchery oxygen supplementation project is estimated to be 31,713 lb. Based on a oxygen purity of 99.6% and oxygen costs of $0.40/100 ft{sup 3}, increasing the absorption efficiency from 50 to 75$1018/year, which is small compared to the annual project cost. The pure oxygen system at Williamette Hatchery is designed for experimental purposes, therefore the existing system is adequate its intended use. While oxygen is not a major cost in the present experimental system, it will be much more critical in full-scale applications. It was necessary to build separate columns for the Williamette Oxygen Supplementation Project, but a centralized system may be more cost-effective in larger applications. There is considerable interest in the use of the Michigan type column in the Pacific Northwest and better definition of their operating characteristics or improvement in their performance would be useful to hatchery operations. In addition, there are a number of other oxygen transfer systems that may have potential in the Pacific Northwest

Probing Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions with Neutrino Factories

We discuss the sensitivity reach of a neutrino factory measurement to non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), which may exist as a low-energy manifestation of physics beyond the Standard Model. We use the muon appearance mode \nu_e --> \nu_\mu and consider two detectors, one at 3000 km and the other at 7000 km. Assuming the effects of NSI at the production and the detection are negligible, we discuss the sensitivities to NSI and the simultaneous determination of \theta_{13} and \delta by examining the effects in the neutrino propagation of various systems in which two NSI parameters \epsilon_{\alpha \beta} are switched on. The sensitivities to off-diagonal \epsilon's are found to be excellent up to small values of \theta_{13}. We demonstrate that the two-detector setting is powerful enough to resolve the \theta_{13}-NSI confusion problem. We believe that the results obtained in this paper open the door to the possibility of using neutrino factory as a discovery machine for NSI while keeping its primary function of performing precision measurements of the lepton mixing parameters.Comment: 47 pages, 22 figures.

From parameter space constraints to the precision determination of the leptonic Dirac CP phase

We discuss the precision determination of the leptonic Dirac CP phase $\delta_{CP}$ in neutrino oscillation experiments, where we apply the concept of ``CP coverage''. We demonstrate that this approach carries more information than a conventional CP violation measurement, since it also describes the exclusion of parameter regions. This will be very useful for next-generation long baseline experiments where for sizable $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ first constraints on $\delta_{CP}$ can be obtained. As the most sophisticated experimental setup, we analyze neutrino factories, where we illustrate the major difficulties in their analysis. In addition, we compare their potential to the one of superbeam upgrades and next-generation experiments, which also includes a discussion of synergy effects. We find a strong dependence on the yet unknown true values of $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ and $\delta_{CP}$, as well as a strong, non-Gaussian dependence on the confidence level. A systematic understanding of the complicated parameter dependence will be given. In addition, it is shown that comparisons of experiments and synergy discussions do in general not allow for an unbiased judgment if they are only performed at selected points in parameter space. Therefore, we present our results in dependence of the yet unknown true values of $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ and $\delta_{CP}$. Finally we show that for $\delta_{CP}$ precision measurements there exist simple strategies including superbeams, reactor experiments, superbeam upgrades, and neutrino factories, where the crucial discriminator is $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13} \sim 10^{-2}$.Comment: 32 pages, 9 figure
