TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

Cardiac PET is a powerful tool to assess heart function. One measure from a Cardiac PET study is left ventricle ejection fraction. This is mainly estimated through gated reconstructions of relative perfusion imaging and segmentation of the left ventricle myocardium. However, direct estimations of left ventricle volume and thus ejection fraction can be obtained by […]

This project aims to develop a novel gene delivery method for treating brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. This method uses a specially designed virus system, called iPhAGE miniphagemids, to deliver genes of interest in a targeted manner. This method is better suited for targeting the brain as the miniphagemids are far more efficient, in comparison […]

The proposed project will investigate different nitrogen fertilizers in grain corn including products developed to release nitrogen more closely with when the crop demand is higher to reduce environmental impact. Results from the project will provide recommendations to growers regarding the best type, and the optimum rate and nitrogen split application timings of EENFs in […]

Foam fractionation is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly emerging technique used for the concentration of proteins from dilute protein sources. Wheat, sugar beets, and potatoes are extensively grown crops in Southern Alberta that generate substantial amounts of by-products through post-harvest processing. This waste is usually discarded without utilization and can undergo fermentation, leading to environmental degradation. […]

Cellulose derivatives can undergo various chemical reactions, resulting in materials with better processability and broader applicability. For instance, incorporating cationic or anionic functional groups into these materials enhances their solubility. However, when combining different components to create a product or during the processing, understanding the properties of the modified materials is crucial for predicting behavior […]

High performance carbon fibre thermoplastic composites are experiencing a strong growth in demand. These materials often come in the form pre-impregnated carbon fibre rolls. The impregnating resin being a thermoplastic polymer, the rolls can be stored at room temperature for an indeterminate time. The fabrication of the pre-impregnated thermoplastic composite generates wastes in the form […]

Appleby College is in the early stages of developing its AI learning and training program for high-school-age students. The program aims to provide students an interactive platform focusing on AI literacy and competency. AI technology is a trending domain incorporated in every aspect of life. Therefore, ensuring that students understand AI at an earlier age […]

This project will extend and generalize the software architecture that underlies Living Architecture Systems Group installations. These originally incorporated one-off and bespoke software to enable the specific context of the installation. Gradually the software has become more systematized, and some theoretical principles have emerged. This project will focus on extending and generalizing the current software […]
