Recent scientific findings identified a set of enzymes in the human gut that can selectively convert blood group antigens to universal blood type O, by cleaving off the sugar chains present on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The increased availability of universal donor blood decrease the shortage of such precious product and will […]

Objective 1. Generation and testing of blood converting enzyme retention device for the universal conversion blood collection bag. Objective 2. Optimization of blood conversion in the blood bag, and enzyme removal, under different conditions. For a more elaborate description of the project overview please see the research proposal document.

A clinical pathway for primary care Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management has been developed in Calgary to address specific barriers to OSA management by primary care physicians (PCPs) that were identified in a series of stakeholder consultation activities. This study’s primary goal is to maximize use of the clinical pathway to support evidence-based primary care […]

This research will develop a novel freeway control approach for the era of co-existence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Fully connected and autonomous vehicles can navigate roads without a human driver and connect and interact with other vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and their environment. It is anticipated that the technology will […]

This research aims to model a large-scale urban network, consisted of thousands of short links and traffic signals, using a limited set of data collected from a combination of fixed and mobile traffic sensors. The required data for this study will be provided by the AMA Eco-drive trajectory data and Edmonton citywide Dynameq model. A […]

The worldwide urge to seek solutions for global warming and its negative environmental impacts, has driven the increased adoption of renewable energy resources and electric vehicles (EVs). This increase in the share of renewable energy generation and EV users has widened the implementation of distributed energy resources (DERs) systems and encouraged the move towards developing […]

Unlocking the energy potential of offshore basins is key to fully evaluate Canada’s ability to satisfy its future energy demand while respecting UN Sustainable Development Goal 7, Affordable and Clean Energy. In frontier basins, including offshore Nova Scotia, deep-water exploration entails various risks due to uncertain geological settings, thus requiring comprehensive prospect analyses and risk […]

In the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) of Alberta, boreal peatland ecosystems are becoming increasingly fractionated by linear disturbances associated with resource exploration and subsequent extraction. Roads, for example, have the potential to alter peatlands through changes to flow regimes, runoff generation to downstream aquatic systems, and carbon sequestration. The heterogeneous geology in the AOSR […]

Quel rôle le droit doit-il jouer en contexte de crise ? C’est la question centrale posée par les observateurs qui se sont penchés sur les tensions entre la gestion de la récente crise du COVID et les normes généralement appliquées dans le cours ordinaire des choses. Leur étonnement de voir que le droit normalement appliqué […]

Despite growing concerns about the number of overweight and obese cats and dogs there has been little success in reducing the prevalence of pet obesity. The veterinary industry and prominent pet care companies, including Royal Canin, have indicated that reducing the prevalence of pet obesity remains a priority to protect the health and wellbeing of […]
