A clinical pathway for primary care Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management has been developed in Calgary to address specific barriers to OSA management by primary care physicians (PCPs) that were identified in a series of stakeholder consultation activities. This study’s primary goal is to maximize use of the clinical pathway to support evidence-based primary care […]

This research will develop a novel freeway control approach for the era of co-existence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Fully connected and autonomous vehicles can navigate roads without a human driver and connect and interact with other vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and their environment. It is anticipated that the technology will […]

This research aims to model a large-scale urban network, consisted of thousands of short links and traffic signals, using a limited set of data collected from a combination of fixed and mobile traffic sensors. The required data for this study will be provided by the AMA Eco-drive trajectory data and Edmonton citywide Dynameq model. A […]

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. A vertical (pilot) well will be drilled, cored, and completed in the target […]

The proposed research will explore the leadership development of girls and women through sport. A leadership development program will be designed, implemented, and evaluated with Jumpstart, providing their organization with an evidence informed program and an understanding of participant experiences in the program, which can inform future work done by the organization. Interviews will also […]

The vestibular organs detect head movement and are involved in the coordination of standing balance. With balance problems being a common and expensive healthcare cost internationally, there is a growing need for new diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices that target vestibular balance function. In particular, a wearable device that could be used outside the clinic […]

Recently, bio-sensing R&D using plasmonic has been actively carried out in Korea and overseas. The global bio-sensing market is projected to grow rapidly by an average of 11.6% per year, with a high potential for future development and increased demand in the field. Helical nanostructure using magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit signals in visible light regions such […]

The SIMBA (Small Intestine MicroBiome Aspiration) capsule is an ingestible capsule designed to collect samples from the small intestine. The safety and efficacy of this device have been demonstrated in healthy volunteers. The aim of this research and development project for the intern student is to develop culturing techniques that are optimized to better characterize […]

Seafloor avalanches of sediment, known as turbidity currents, can be exceptionally powerful and travel 100s km into the deep sea. These flows pose a significant hazard to seafloor infrastructure such as telecommunication cables, which carry the internet. Understanding the processes that trigger turbidity currents is therefore essential to predict when and where they occur. Detailed […]

Organophosphorus compounds (organophosphates) cause numerous deaths globally due to pesticide poisoning or due to their alternative use as chemical weapons. Potent organophosphates, such as soman, are highly toxic inducing paralysis, seizures, respiratory failure and death. Exposure to sub-lethal soman doses results in immediate convulsive seizures, leading to decreased blood flow in the brain and the […]
