Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound that alters states of consciousness to allow free imagination and insightful creativity. Its ability to induce complex behavioral and psychological changes has led to its resurgence in psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy. Despite positive clinical efficacy from a handful of trials, an optimal (or even variable) treatment paradigm has yet to be established. […]

Methanobiofiltration (MBF) is a new technology for the treatment of waste methane gas using a biological process, thus contributing to the reduction of the environmental impacts of current energy technologies. The lack of a complete technology package needed for various industry sectors has hindered its large-scale application in Alberta. With the fundamental knowledge and extensive […]

Virtual scenarios, which are similar to choose-your-own-adventure stories, in online format, are a powerful way to assess how well a young professional can make decisions and solve problems. This is different from most learning software that tests how well they remember factoids and tidbits. OLab is a tool for playing and creating virtual scenarios. It […]

Circle Neurovascular Imaging (CNVI) aims to improve the standard of care for stroke patients by providing physicians critical information assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) through their innovative software platform, StrokeSENS, which is designed to aid the clinician in making quicker, more accurate decisions about patient management. StrokeSENS, has partial clinical approval in the EU and […]

This community project will train men from diverse ethnocultural backgrounds and support them in leading well-being groups with men from their communities. Evaluations from past projects have underscored the importance of engaging men in conversations of well-being, healthy relationships, and violence-prevention. This includes the need for further outreach to support men in accessing services and […]

This project targets the improvement of seed protein content in Canola seed using genome editing. The development of high protein content in canola seeds has potential to be utilized in the production of plant protein ingredients and as a source of high protein feed in the dairy and aquaculture industry. AgGene, the partner organization is […]

MRI is one of the most widely used medical imaging techniques. The main challenge with MRI is its low resolution. This is why patients need to stay in the MRI machine for long scan times, sometimes for about an hour. We are developing a software solution that uses our proprietary quantum technology and AI to […]

From the survey of literature (Eames et al. (1995), Chunnanond & Aphornratana (2004b), Chunnanond & Aphornratana (2004a) and others), the performance of a jet refrigeration system depends greatly on the ejector configuration (characteristics). Many researchers have shown the need to improve performance in order to make ejector-based cooling economically more attractive. It is known that […]

The broad objectives of this project are: I. To reduce the risk of emerging infectious diseases related to poultry; and II. To improve Alberta poultry industry productivity and profitability. To reach these broad objectives we will address 3 specific objectives: 1) Determine what the knowledge needs of the poultry industry are and how knowledge is […]

In the global effort to combat climate change, the cement and concrete industry has been identified as a key decarbonization target owing to accounting for approximately 8% of CO2 emissions. Avenues for decarbonizing this sector include energy efficiency improvements, reuse/recycling, and carbon capture utilization and storage. This project consists of two sub-projects focused on different […]

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is related to the improper use of insulin in the body and cell resistance to the insulin receiving or loss of cell sensitivity to insulin. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent this disease and postpone or even prevent the serious complications. The blood glucose concentration and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are the […]

This project tackles the issue of knowledge incompleteness and lack of domain coverage in resume and job posting matching caused by the exploitation of domain-general resources. A variety of co-operative semantic/ontological resources will be used to filter out irrelevant resumes. A two-way (candidate to job and job to candidate) semantic-based automatic suitability ranking is proposed. […]
