To ensure effective pest control in Alberta, we will compare the efficacy of our local entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) with a commercially available strain, S. feltiae. EPNs are microscopic worms that naturally kill pests like black cutworms and cabbage root maggots. Our study will focus on a native EPN strain (strain 213) and a commercial strain […]

minutes ou heures afin de recuire les fractures osseuses. Ce mélange encouragera également les cellules osseuses à naviguer vers le site de la fracture et à réparer davantage l’os ainsi qu’à réduire la douleur de la fracture osseuse en réduisant l’inflammation dans la région. Ce produit sera utile pour les patients qui souhaitent réparer leurs […]

The profitability of dairy production is based on the ability of the animal to have high milk production, good health and good fertility. A major challenge for dairy producers is to select for high performing animals and avoid the undesirable correlated response between production and other traits. The proposed research includes the imputation of newly […]

Ce projet de recherche-action consiste à accompagner l’Association des personnes avec une déficience de l’audition (APDA) dans la révision de son programme de valorisation de prothèses auditives (PA), qui s’adresse aux aînés ayant une déficience auditive (DA) vivant en situation de précarité, et dans la mise en oeuvre pilote d’une version améliorée de ce programme.

The Limestone Barrens of Newfoundland are a coastal ecosystem hosting many rare plant species, including the endangered Braya fernaldii and Braya longii. In addition to habitat loss and human disturbance, these plants are chronically affected by fungal infections and foliar damage by insect pests. To assist species recovery efforts across their historic range, seeds have […]

La supplémentation en oeufs augmente significativement la synthèse musculaire; toutefois, aucune étude n’a évalué ses effets sur la performance dans différentes disciplines sportives. Des techniques de pointe en sciences de l’activité physique seront utilisées afin de déterminer l’effet de la supplémentation en oeufs entiers sur la composition corporelle, la performance musculaire et les courbatures chez […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-term condition that affects how people move and function in their daily lives. It can be challenging for individuals with PD and their families. To help improve the lives of people with PD, the Parkinson’s Association of Alberta has created a program that includes different activities throughout the day. These […]

The Salish Sea contains many shipping routes frequently used by the endangered Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW). To protect the declining population of SRKW, current efforts are focused on limiting encounters between SRKW and vessels. To acoustically locate SRKW in the Salish Sea, detectors must be capable of distinguishing SRKW and Bigg’s killer whale vocalizations. […]

Contexte : Les mesures de l’expérience rapportée par les patients (PREM) évaluent objectivement la perception des soins par les enfants et les jeunes (CYP). Le seul PREM pour la chirurgie pédiatrique développé avec et pour les enfants a été créé à Londres, au Royaume-Uni. Étant donné l’absence d’instruments nord-américains similaires, nous avons cherché à adapter, […]

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition affecting thousands of individuals each year. Due to the diverse set of symptoms and progressive nature of the disease, individuals with PD may require ample support from local healthcare facilities, health care providers and informal care partners. Due to the demands of the informal care partner role, it […]

This research project will seek to investigate the effect of Noa’s pro-resolution therapeutic drug compounds on keratinocyte and fibroblast cell migration as it relates to dermal wound closure. This project will investigate the impact of the therapeutic drugs on skin cell viability proliferation, and mobility using a multitude of different assays. In better understand how […]

The dye and pigment industry is identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. For instance, the textile dye industry is the second largest water polluter, producing 20% of the world’s wastewater using 800,000 tones of synthetic dyes annually. Many of the dyes and chemicals used have been highlighted as causing irretrievable damage […]
