Sooth measure and publish since 2021 the most important properties of skis to improve the customer shopping experience. The response of experienced skiers has been generally highly positive. Skiers enjoy being able to compare products with real measurements, and many find that they can relate their on-snow experience to these measurements relatively easily. Two main […]

The University of Calgary and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Calgary will collaborate to better understand Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism. This is the most pressing challenge of the present time, and it has implications for the positive youth development and the well-being of Canadian society. The project will engage the Canadian Muslim youth […]

To contribute to society’s decarbonization goals, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry must rapidly transition to low-carbon buildings. Low carbon construction materials and other building technologies are contributing to this decarbonization, but the rate of change for this transition remains low. A range of technical issues must be addressed to transition to low-carbon buildings, […]

Over the past decade, wildfires in British Columbia have caused major disturbances, economic costs, and a significant impact on global emissions. The current fire prevention approach aims to avoid fires, however there is a growing realization that more proactive measures are necessary. Across Canada’s interior, the absence of fire and unusually hot and dry weather […]

L’asclépiade est une plante sauvage longtemps considérée comme une « mauvaise herbe » mais qui produit, entre autres, une fibre chaude, souple, résistante et hydrophobe, que l’on appelle dorénavant soie d’Amérique. Cette fibre économique, qui est déjà utilisée dans l’industrie textile, offre une faible densité du fait de sa structure creuse, ce qui la rend […]

Power system policies are broadly on track to escalate the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) in automotive industry. The increasing interest in use of EVs not only intensifies the demand in electric power but also introduces further challenges such as efficient and timely power distribution to EVs. Existing challenges in EV power charging relies on […]

Individuals diagnosed with either Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) typically exhibit a distinctive profile of progressive impairments. AD primarily affects cognitive functions (e.g., dementia), whereas PD affects motor functions (e.g., tremor). However, in many cases, this symptomatic distinction is not apparent, because some AD and PD patients experience a mixture of cognitive and […]

Within the past decades, there has been a significant growth in the electric power systems that have resulted in a large increase in the development of transmission and distribution lines. Distribution system is the final connection between the utility provider and the customers and constitutes a major component of the power system. However, since most […]

Efficient yet simple energy storage schemes and smart electronics will not only boost PV system efficiencies but it will also lead to many innovative applications at the system level such as solid state lighting, active bypass diodes, bifacial configurations etc. This research project seeks to develop a novel and efficient on-cell energy storage scheme. By […]

The goal of the study is to investigate the health and ecology of juvenile Chinook Salmon during the winter, a season with supposedly very low levels of survival. We fish throughout the winter on an on-call basis, and sample and release most fish brought on board; a small portion of juvenile Chinook Salmon are retained […]

Urban stormwater re-use is gaining acceptance in Canadian jurisdictions as a means to offset anticipated increases in potable water demand from urbanization and climate change. S2e Technologies has partnered with Queen’s University to determine if a net economic benefit can be achieved from potable water savings in large-scale stormwater re-use facilities in Canada. The new […]

Wrist fractures are the most common injury treated in the emergency department. The current standard for treating these fractures is realigning the bones and applying plaster or fiberglass cast to maintain position. Most often, plaster casts are used as the primary option and the patient gets a fiberglass cast after the initial few weeks. Although […]
