With real-time acquisition of 2D imaging planes, 2D-cine MRI is often used to visualize rapidly moving tumors and organs-at-risk during radiotherapy, and automatic image registration of 2D-cine MRIs at different time points can assist in tracking tissue displacements. However, when sudden large motions occur, automatic registration algorithms can fail to track the radiation target, potentially […]

Rogers Communications, with around 8,000 cell towers in Canada, faces challenges in manual inspections, which are slow and risky. In collaboration with Rogers, our research team is developing a cutting-edge solution: small drones enhanced with 5G and AI technology. This approach aims to revolutionize tower inspections by providing faster, more accurate, and safer methods. The […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Anessa is developing software that assesses the feasibility of an anaerobic digestion facility at the earliest stages when trying to determine if a facility should be constructed. The challenge is that little information is fully known and there are a lot of factors that can affect the outcome to be positive or negative in the […]

Canada currently employs patterned non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. The goal of this study will aim to determine whether there is a more effective way to deliver brain stimulation compared to traditional methods. We will compare a new controlled TMS compared to the traditional TMS hardware. […]

Nous connaissons actuellement un déclin sans précédent de la biodiversité, et l’urbanisation du territoire fait partie des principales causes de cet enjeu. Ce projet vise la sensibilisation et la mobilisation des municipalités et des acteurs de la filière de l’horticulture ornementale, environnementale et nourricière autour des pratiques horticoles favorisant la protection et l’accroissement de la […]

L’étude vise à explorer l’effet des salons littéraires sur les ventes en librairie et aux collectivités. Malgré l’importance symbolique des foires du livre et leur impact économique et social potentiel, peu d’études ont examiné leur effet. Cette étude comble cette lacune en examinant l’effet des salons littéraires sur les ventes de livres dans l’ensemble du […]

The proposed research project “Cloud based hybrid low-cost appliance control and monitor system” is an appliance automation system consisting of an arrangement of different channels of communication. The main idea behind the proposed work is to provide a real time control and monitoring for industrial appliances located in workplaces where internet accessibility is not immediate. […]

The Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW, Orcinus orca) population is assessed at 75 individuals, and significant threats include high levels of endocrine disrupting contaminants, alongside other anthropogenic threats. Studies have painted a partial picture of the contaminants of concern in the SRKW food web. For example, preliminary studies of chinook salmon suggest that some resident […]

In response to Canada’s ambitious environmental targets, this research explores the efficacy of compost-derived complex bioinoculants (H-Start products) developed by HumaTerra as a viable complement to chemical fertilizers in sustainable agriculture. This proposed study will be under a greenhouse setup that complements the ongoing field research to evaluate the impact of these bioinoculants on the […]

Health economic evaluation provides a comparison on the incremental costs between two interventions and whether this extra cost is justifiable by the incremental clinical benefits. It has been increasingly used by payers to inform drug reimbursement decision as it can answer the question on whether a new health technology will provide value-for-money. Consequently, alongside clinical […]

Access to specialist care, especially in rural and remote locations, is a growing challenge in Alberta. Patients with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, and macular edema must travel to large urban centres for assessment by retinal specialist ophthalmologists. Assessment typically requires OCT imaging, which is now broadly available through optometrist offices across the […]
