WestMET Group Canada operates four coal mines in Alberta. Humalite, naturally occurring from organic matter decomposition, is produced in large quantities during mining. Humic products from coal wastes may be more suitable than other sources due to high humic content, rawmaterial availability, low cost, application ease, and reduced coal waste accumulation and environmental impact. Westmoreland […]

Communicating with peers online is an increasingly popular activity for children and teenagers, which has led to growing concerns about bullying and other forms of malicious behaviour in online chat rooms and virtual worlds. Although some online forums are patrolled by human moderators, the amount of text being generated is typically too large even for […]

Predictive Fire Incident Risk Scoring System aims to develop a comprehensive risk assessment tool tailored to urban neighborhoods. Utilizing a combination of Census data, historical fire incident records, building structures, and expert knowledge, the project seeks to create a predictive risk scoring system capable of quantifying the overall fire incident risk level for each neighborhood. […]

Perimeter Medical has been developing a novel optical coherent tomography (OCT) technique combined with AI to analyze tissue edges quickly. This project aims to make the method faster by acquiring images more efficiently. This will help surgeons assess tissues quicker and shorten surgery times, which in turn will lead to less time for patients to remain […]

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), […]

“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) […]

Family caregivers are an essential component of care for young adults with severe mental illness including psychosis. While their involvement improves outcomes in multiple modalities, family caregivers are often overwhelmed with the care of their loved one. Currently, there are not enough resources for family caregivers of young people with severe mental illnesses. The study […]

Understanding which genes are involved in diseases is incredibly important because it helps us develop better treatments. By identifying these genes, scientists can better understand how diseases operate in our bodies and create more effective treatments. This also allows for the creation of personalized treatments based on a person’s unique genes, increasing their chances of […]
