The card collection was evaluated at more than $20B in 2021 with an unprecedented growth in the last 36 months. A card value can range from $0.05 up to $6.6M. The old-school hobby market has shifted to an investment vehicle in recent years. To list a card online for sale, there are many steps involved: […]

Computer Vision techniques and algorithms, especially those involving deep neural networks, are now predominant in robotics and autonomous driving. These algorithms have found immense success in urban scenes for autonomous driving, and visualize 3D maps of cities. However, like most deep learning solutions, they do not generalize well over a large varieties of inputs. Thus, […]

50% of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are at risk for having Metabolic Syndrome (Mets). While COPD is incurable, MetS can be reduced by diet and exercise. Yet, the evidence shows that lifestyle interventions with the self-management of health at home are low. Thus, The CHANGE program and My Viva Plan® (MVP) were […]

Recion Technologies, Inc. has developed a sustainable process to extract Li from various Li-bearing brines including oilfield brines found in Alberta and produce lithium products for use in lithium-ion batteries. The Li extraction involves an ion exchange step through which Li ions are selectively separated by a sorbent proprietary to Recion. To scaleup and pilot […]

The intern will research how land use and transportation planning can support energy transition and climate change goals. They will consider academic research, as well as study the policies used by other major municipalities. Then they will recommend how the City of Edmonton can apply these learnings to the creation of District Plans, which is […]

The scholar will provide insight to the Transportation Policy and Strategy team on best practices and a path forward for assessing and quantifying health impacts of key transportation policies and investment related to active modes, parking and mode shift from single occupancy vehicles to more sustainable forms of transportation. It will provide insight into a […]

Edmonton’s natural assets (its forests, wetlands, grasslands, rivers and streams) provide core service functions such as water treatment, rainwater management, flood protection, recreation, habitat, and pollination. The presence and health of such natural assets influence the levels of service that can be provided or supported by a Municipality, ultimately influencing the overall well-being and livability […]

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for storing significant amounts of electricity, since zinc (Zn) is widely available and inexpensive. ZIBs typically use a high-capacity Zn metal anode, metal oxide positive electrode, and aqueous electrolyte, with energy/power densities similar to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). ZIBs offer advantages over LIBs, including improved safety, eco-friendliness and simpler manufacturing […]

Among many software development and data engineering services, Creative Emporium provides digital Account Maintenance, minimizing human intervention. Using cutting edge technology, the proposed AI-driven Accountium platform will execute the interaction between The System and The Accountant to the next level. Accountium will use International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In addition to account ledger posting, the […]

In order to develop resilience-based earthquake civil infrastructures, a new seismic control system using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements is designed to implement into these structures. Such systems can improve the dynamic behavior of the civil infrastructures and provide their stability under seismic loads by dissipation of the energy, having the self-centering ability, high-deformability, and […]

Conventional organic waste disposal adapts a linear waste-to-discharge treatment strategy, wasting the vast amount of resources and energy embedded in organic waste. With our innovative reactor design and operation, we have demonstrated significantly increased energy and resources recovery efficiencies under loading rates higher (2 times) than reported. Our products feature high flexibility and easy operation/maintenance, […]

Wound dressings are indispensable in medical operation as they protect the wound from contamination by foreign matter, absorb wound exudate, and control the humidity of the wound to promote healing. To meet the requirements in wound closure and management, and convenience and comfort of users, the dressings is required to processes multiple functionalities. Optical transparency […]
