There is an urgent need to better understand large-scale disruptions, including the pandemic, and related workplace health policy changes impact the health and wellness of fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers, who already experience high levels of stress and anxiety due to their unique work arrangement. During the pandemic, companies made drastic changes to ensure employee safety […]

The primary source of green hydrogen, faces several barriers. One of the main issues is that it relies heavily on costly and scarce noble metals, namely platinum, iridium, and ruthenium. The utilization of these metals brings into question their supply chain availability, sustainability in green hydrogen projects, and overall cost. On the other hand, AEM […]

In addition to food uses, vegetable oils are increasingly a source for renewable biomaterials and biofuels. Recent progress in the development of a biobased economy is focused on introduction and improvement of novel crop plants for non-food applications. The proposed project is part of an international collaborative effort to develop camelina as a new industrial […]

Fairness has gained unprecedented support in a world of daily emerging scientific inquisition and discovery, aiming to tackle algorithmic bias effectively. Extensive efforts have been devoted to defining and embodying what is bias (discrimination) and developing tools that enable machine learning practitioners to detect and mitigate bias during algorithm design. However, mysteries are yet to […]

Our study is designed to document Kananaskis visitors’ trail preferences and use patterns, their motives for visitation, their attitudes towards environmentally-friendly trail use practices, and knowledge of impacts on wildlife arising from trail use. This information will advance recreation-wildlife coexistence, by informing investment, communications and planning efforts – designed to promote more sustainable use of […]

There is a need for alternative and renewable methods to produce liquid fuels and commodity chemicals and decrease the world’s dependence on fossil resources. In this regard, the modification of simple, non-food (plant) biomass-derived chemicals is an important goal towards providing a sustainable access to high-energy molecules as potential fuels and other starting materials for […]

Forests play a vital role in the environment, biodiversity, and human societies. To safeguard these crucial ecosystems, effective risk assessment and management strategies are essential. Our initiative employs Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, and satellite imagery to assess and alleviate risks to forest species. This approach integrates diverse variables to create comprehensive […]

This project aims to provide much needed evidence to community organizations who want to use evaluation findings to better understand how to support vulnerable children and their families in schools. The All in for Youth initiative and its collaborative partners offer integrated, wraparound supports to improve academic outcomes and resiliency of vulnerable children, support family […]

The proposed project is for the intern to develop an algorithm to decide on the suitability of a group of chemical compounds to transfer from one detection instrument (low throughput) to another detection instrument (high throughput). For ease of use and cost considerations it is preferable for these chemical compounds to measured using a high […]

We are studying how to transport CO2 efficiently and safely after capturing it from places like power plants. To do this, we have to compress the CO2 above a specific point to avoid any problems during transportation. But this compressed CO2 can be very corrosive and harmful to the materials used in pipelines, especially steel. […]

The clinical and cost effectiveness of immunizing children WIth PCV7 and PCV13 is well established in the scientific literature. However the success of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in children has given rise to questions from payers regarding whether continued investment in PCV13 for children is needed. The proposed research project undertaken by the intern will help […]
