Current therapies to manage pain either result in side effects or are insufficient and the associated medical costs and loss of work days come pose a tremendous socioeconomic burden. We recently showed that T-type channel activity is aberrantly regulated in inflammatory and neuropathic pain by the deubiquitinase USP5, and we have begun to explore this […]

Pipelines are an imperative part of the energy sector and have a substantial impact on the Canadian environment, and economy. The slightest mishap in pipelines can lead to devasting environmental impacts as well as huge financial consequences. Therefore, developing sound automated pipeline monitoring by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for safe and […]

The aim of the EPES (Epilepsy Pre-Evaluation Space) is to create an immersive tool to better understand spatiotemporal phenomena inside epilepsy patients’ brains, by creating a 4D spatial-temporal visualization of electrical activity. Used for pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy patients suited for surgical resection of the brain region, where seizures onset zone lies. EPES provides an […]

Biohubx supports the life sciences ecosystem in significant ways, but they need a way to visualize that ecosystem and its connections so that they can perform informal traffic control. This project will create a visualization of the life sciences ecosystem in Canada and around the world, and this resource will be used by Biohubx to […]

We have looked into the CSI problem as a two-phase problem in a heterogeneous (matrix, wormhole) porous medium. If the solvent is a light hydrocarbon, this is fine. However, especially with CO2 and DME, mass transfer to and from the aqueous phase is substantial. In this project, we take advantage of our extensive experience in […]

Nearly one in ten people that are hospitalized in Canada develop a complication with sudden loss of kidney function, called acute kidney injury (AKI), which may lead to other severe health problems such as kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment, heart attacks and failure, stroke and even premature death. Discharge from hospital can be a difficult […]

The global pandemic has made it clear that there is an urgent need for high-quality mental health services for children and youth. Right now, quality is measured in terms of the number of visits to clinics, emergency departments, hospitalizations, and the costs associated with those services. The voices of children, youth, and their families are […]

Real-time prediction of incoming turbulence has important practical utility in the control and monitoring of fluid systems. Flow estimation using smart sensing techniques will improve our ability to predict and control these flows. However, current sensor-based flow reconstruction methods have not been tested to effectively resolve multi-scale, chaotic and unsteady turbulent phenomena that are commonly […]

Aurora Heat, Inc. is a seasonal social enterprise that earns the bulk of its revenue during the Fall and Winter months. In order to curb seasonal influxes of cash flow, the organization has prototyped and informally tested a new to market sensory intervention product called the NEZU™. The NEZU™ is an Indigenous-designed sensory intervention made […]

ConocoPhillips Canada (CPC) is evaluating transformational technologies to reduce GHGs by up to 90% allowing for efficient Alberta resource development on a per barrel and supply cost basis in a carbon-constrained, globally competitive market. Warm applied solvent process refers to pre-heated solvents that are injected/co-injected with steam as an elimination/evolution of the current Steam Assisted […]

Ayrshire is an investment management firm focused principally on real estate investing in Alberta. We own retail, office and residential properties in multiple markets. Recently we have seen a shift in investment demand associated with new acquisition and developments of multifamily apartment housing in Western Canada. Recently Ayrshire received federal funding through CHMC Rental Construction […]

Sea ice is an integral part of the climate system. To obtain hemispheric-scale information about sea ice and the snow cover on top, satellite radar remote sensing is the method of choice. Microwave frequencies are ideally suited to observe sea ice/snow because they are independent of clouds and penetrate the snow and sea ice. However, […]
