The study’s primary goal is to understand the impact of pipeline construction on the behaviour of migratory birds. It will focus on assessing how the proximity to different construction activities, different habitats, environmental conditions and nature of construction work affect nest attendance, alertness and flushing behaviour of the migrants. Anthropogenic activities can adversely affect the […]

This research addresses the issue of self-tapping screw (STS) failures resulting from the swelling of mass timber products during the installation process or service. STS is a common type of fastener used for connecting timber members. Since mass timber products are relatively new, there is a lack of specific design guidelines for STS in the […]

Edmonton’s public transit (PT) system plays a prominent role in reducing transportation related GHG emissions. Encouraging more people to use PT is not only a structural intervention, but also behavioral, as individuals, especially those with access to other modes, have to make a conscious choice to travel by PT. This choice has become increasingly complex […]

Physical activity during pregnancy has been related to benefits for both, mother and fetus, mainly by improving cardiovascular health. However, molecular mechanisms involved in these adaptations are not fully described. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding-RNAs which may influence gene expression. miRNAs levels are altered in response to nutrition and lifestyle interventions, including exercise. Some miRNAs are […]

Data analytics have been used extensively across various industries to predict and propose optimal operation conditions, ultimately improving project efficiencies and reducing execution costs. However, these methods have not been widely utilized by any SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) operators. There is an opportunity to adapt this new technology to further optimize process operation and […]

First implemented in January 2023, the Bridge Healing Transitional Accommodation program offers transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness who have been discharged from hospital emergency departments. The program provides wraparound community supports such as mental health and addiction services to help clients transition to permanent housing. In doing so, the program bridges the gap between […]

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a description increasingly used to refer to aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) that is produced from renewable and sustainable resources. The use of SAF for commercial air transport holds the promise of reducing the fossil fuel footprint of this industry. However, in North America it is at present not legal […]
