Older adults are the largest growing segment of the Canadian population. Almost 40% of men and 59% of women aged 65 to 79 years of age experience sleep disturbances. Little research has been done to examine sleep quality of assisted living residents through objective measures. This project aims to understand the association between sleep quality, […]

MichifMedia is creating new educational resources through digital twins of landscapes, with a focus on our shared indigenous history. We will be using existing LiDAR scans done by the University of Lethbridge, and other available sources to create digital twins of three locations. These will be hosted online so they can be accessed for free […]

Meat mass production is associated with many issues, from animal welfare, antibiotic use, climate change, destruction of ecological systems and wildlife extinction. Cultured meat industry is promising alternative to that, which offers the actual meat (not plant-based) without aforementioned issues. This project aims to contribute to development of cultured fat from a pig-derived stem cell. […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. Using the successful proof-of-concept field injection pilot results from the first phase of […]

The proposed project aims at the design and implementation of low complexity digital pre-distortion (DPD) algorithms for multiband and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless transmitters. The power amplifier (PA) is one of the major sources of power dissipation in wireless base stations. The DPD techniques enable the PA to operate in a more efficient […]

The objective of this project is to improve long-term planning of Alberta’s electricity system infrastructure in collaboration with an industry sponsor, Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO). The project aims at engaging stakeholders in a regional planning exercise in southern Alberta by a detailed exploration of their perspectives when evaluating energy system alternatives. This was identified […]

Oil reservoir souring is the production of toxic hydrogen sulfide by sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) through naerobic respiration supported by organic electron donors present in oil fields. In recent years, nitrate injection has merged as a promising green biotechnology that has been proven effective in controlling sulfide production in oil fields. This strategy relies on inducing […]

Ecmius Biomedical is a Canadian company that is invested in the research, development, and future production of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) technology, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO is an invaluable tool that can support the treatment of adults and children with severe cardiac and/or pulmonary dysfunction, maintaining patient condition until longer-term treatments become available.
