The objective of this partnership is to create an intelligent system that utilizes data-driven analysis, machine learning algorithms, and numerical simulations to evaluate and enhance artificial lift technologies, with a specific focus on gas lift. This initiative aims to help oil and gas operators reach the maximum production capacity and minimum environmental impact. The project […]

In the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada, wetland consolidation and agrichemicals are potentially threatening aquatic life. The water boatmen are a family of aquatic insects with 42 species in Alberta that are monitored province-wide by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. However, currently only a small proportion of the water boatmen collected in the monitoring program […]

This research project is a feasibility study designed to assess the viability of employing advanced technology for oilfield environmental site assessment and restoration. The conventional labor-intensive and manual process of evaluating oilfield sites for potential remediation or reclamation is performed in the field at high cost. Our primary objective is to investigate the feasibility of […]

MOTTIV Technologies and the University of Alberta team will create an “AI coach” which is a language based chatbot that will communicate to athletes, who use the MOTTIV app, with a defined vocabulary at the back-end effective for a coach-athlete relationship and training. The goal is to make the “Coach MO” chatbot proactive, engaging, motivating […]

Creative Emporium provides digital Accounting System Maintenance, minimizing human intervention. The current software does not have an intelligent engine to automate cash flow analysis and budget analysis. This process takes hours for an accountant to do manually and the results are not that accurate due to human errors. The General objective of this proposal is […]

Survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) have an increased risk for a number of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse, among others. Treating CSA survivors as close to their abuse as possible is key to effectively treating a survivor and can minimize or prevent the long-term impacts. Currently, […]

In a modern society, citizens struggle between careers and families, and often overlook the importance of connections with the community. Establishing a social circle and engage in community activities can help individuals to restore energy and spirit to accomplish tasks more effectively, leading to a better economy. C-Tribe is dedicated to help citizens by connect […]

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 […]

We are working with Mitacs to continue to drive innovation in how we adapt the latest retail strategies, trends and emerging technologies to some of individuals’ largest purchases including: • capturing insights to design/refine our developments, products and services for […]

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 […]
