In-situ recovery methods for oils sands are applied to reservoirs containing bitumen that are too deep for mining. To date there has been only one commercially viable in-situ recovery method, Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), involving high pressure steam injection and bitumen production using horizontal well pairs located near the base of oil sands formations. While […]

Adults with Autism (ASD) and/or intellectual disabilities (ID) who seek medical and dental treatments often require specialized interventions that are not always accessible in the community. The Centre for Innovation in Autism and Intellectual Disabilities See Things my Way clinic (STMW) developed a specialized Medical/Dental Clinic to address this important gap. Providing care through a […]

Accurately estimating permeability is critical for being able to properly predict fluid flow in an oil reservoir. Typical approaches, such as estimating permeability using well production data or in the lab using core samples are impractical or expensive in the Alberta Oil Sands. An alternative approach is to infer permeability from particle size distribution that […]

Hypoxia (deprivation of adequate oxygen supply to the body) associated with cardiorespiratory crisis initiates vigorous respiratory and sympathetic “fight/flight” responses. The carotid bodies (CB) are the main respiratory oxygen sensors but without their influence sympathetic responses persist, suggesting a cardiovascular-specific oxygen chemoreceptor. Recently we discovered that neurons within the thoracic region of the spinal cord […]

The aim of this research and development project is to design and develop a bedside point-of-care device to be equipped with the CardiAI’s machine learning technology for heart failure management. our POC system will include disposable cardiac biomarker strips and an electronic reader. Once implemented, it will be connected to the AI platform that will […]

The use of unconventional heavy oil, such as the bitumen derived from oil sands, has progressively increased, placing these materials as a compelling alternative to meet short- and long-term energy demands. Nevertheless, the current technologies available to exploit and upgrade this crude have critical challenges, such as high production costs, lower energy efficiency, and, even […]

The objective of this project is to employ computer technologies to describe and detect trends in enteric diseases and antimicrobial resistance. A data extraction program has been developed and installed on the computers at twelve sentinel companion animal practices in and around Calgary. The program automatically extracts, transforms and exports the desired fields to an […]

The main objective of this project is developing a novel technology to understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The main cause of AD has not been clearly discovered, and therefore the effective treatment to stop the disease has not yet been established. This technology which is an integration of microfluidic, nano-electronics, and optical imaging techniques would provide […]

In recent years, the use of Mathematics and Statistics in Finance has become increasingly important, with the arrival of new software and investment methods. The notion of market efficiency, particularly the assumption that assets are always correctly priced, suffers from market anomalies which lead to potential arbitrage strategies in the short run. Therefore, this project […]

With respect to large-area display applications, it is desirable to have not only the active layers but also the electrodes in the OLEDs that can be formed by solution fabrication process. To address the manufacturing challenges of high-performance OLEDs, several scalable techniques such as doctor blading, ink-jet printing, and ultrasonic spray coating have been developed […]
