Many fish populations have declined across Canada, due to diverse pressures including overharvesting, pollution, habitat degradation, and more. Prior to colonization, Indigenous management systems supported large-scale fisheries alongside healthy fish populations. These systems are being revitalized by their communities, to meet the needs of both people and fish, and move towards more sustainable fisheries practices. […]

Burdensome government regulations, sometimes referred to as “red tape,” are often touted as barriers to job creation and economic growth. This research project involves a jurisdictional scan of red tape reduction initiatives throughout the world and identifies global best practices. The project will assess whether efforts to reduce red tape in Alberta and the Edmonton […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source contribute to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a product of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emissions. One of the commercially available electric heaters is […]

Dans le cadre d’une nouvelle offre de services, la direction DI-TSA-DP du CIUSSS de la Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du- Québec a adapté les ateliers du programme Dé-stresse et progresse afin de les offrir aux parents et intervenants des enfants bénéficiant du programme de réadaptation intensive en unité. La présente étude estimera les effets potentiels des ateliers auprès de […]

Wheat is a major staple food crop. Winter wheat has higher yield potential than spring wheat. Fusarium head blight (FHB), mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum is one of the major diseases of wheat. FHB related traits (visual symptoms, fusarium damaged kernels-FDK and deoxynivalenol-DON) are influenced by multiple genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) with small […]

L’objectif général du projet, divisé en trois stages, vise l’amélioration des procédés d’assemblage et de calibration des instruments ICOS pour la mesure précise de gaz jusqu’à des concentrations aussi faibles que des parties par milliards (PPT). Les deux premiers stages ont pour but d’améliorer les outils de calibration des systèmes ICOS, plus spécifiquement en utilisant […]

Le développement d’outil pour identifier les secteurs géologiques à fort potentiel économique (gisement d’or) ont un impact majeur sur l’économie du Québec. Parmi les modèles décrivant la formation des gisements d’or, celui de circulation d’eau chaude mobilisant et concentrant l’or demeure le plus classique. Une telle circulation d’eau dans la croûte terrestre nécessite une source […]

Today, small satellites are launched in large constellations like Starlink and Globalstar for space-based services, such as communications and weather monitoring. This rapid growth in space objects has become a real threat for space operation. In response to this issue of the growing population of space objects, Magellan is developing technologies to provide extensive and […]

The focus of this project is hydrothermal liquefaction of woody biomass waste. Woody biomass waste could include branches or woodchips from logging and wood processing. The waste material is ‘cooked’ with water at extreme temperature and pressure to produce waste oil. The low energy carrying woody biomass waste is converted into a higher energy carrying […]

The world’s stringent need to transition to a low-carbon industrial economy is more pressing than ever. It is imperative to innovate, develop, and implement revolutionary technologies that use low-carbon-intensity energy generation sources and have an intrinsic negative GHG emission factor while being economically profitable. The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to fuels and chemicals coupled with […]

We have initiated what we hope is a long-term collaboration between University of Alberta (Randy Goebel, Amii/Computing Science) and Edmonton Police Service (Brian Rector), to investigate and develop the application of AI methods to aid in the solution of long-term unsolved homicides (“cold cases”). The initial idea is focused on AI methods for information extraction […]

Ce projet vise le développement d’un programme de promotion de saines habitudes d’activité physique et alimentaires chez des femmes ayant été atteintes d’un cancer du sein. L’intervention impliquera deux approches, l’une virtuelle et l’autre en présentiel, qui sollicitera la collaboration entre le médecin de famille, le kinésiologue, le nutritionniste et le patient. Deux groupes de […]
