The aim of the EPES (Epilepsy Pre-Evaluation Space) is to create an immersive tool to better understand spatiotemporal phenomena inside epilepsy patients’ brains, by creating a 4D spatial-temporal visualization of electrical activity. Used for pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy patients suited for surgical resection of the brain region, where seizures onset zone lies. EPES provides an […]

The Chokka Center for Integrative Health is dedicated to develop an innovative and integrative approach to help patients achieve optimal mental health. Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the world. Diagnosing mental health syndromes have proved challenging for clinicians. But it is essential to screen and diagnosis early to achieve symptom remission […]

Alberta’s natural resource sector has resulted in the continuous and persistent loss of forest productivity. Despite huge strides in reclamation practices within the last 40 years, there is still a sizeable legacy of industrial disturbed sites that represent a significant opportunity to enhance the sustainability of the forest industry in the province. Forest companies have […]

Learning Systems are among the most popular e-learning tools in today’s education and training. Most e-Learning systems do not take into account individual aspects of learners (e.g., their goal, experiences, existing knowledge, learning style etc.).The primary goal of the proposed research is to offer rich adaptivity by combining information from a learner’s profile (e.g. levels, […]

This proposed research project is about development of new bone-targeting drug called PTHPEG- BP, this new compound will overcome shortages of current clinical peptide hormone PTH, and show better treatment efficacy and lower price then the latter; several new technologies will be used on research of this PTH, such as micro Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT), […]

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1 to 10 nm that show great promise for photonics, microelectronics, and fluorescent bio-imaging considering their ability to fluoresce from blue to near infrared light. In comparison to conventional quantum dots (which can release toxic metals), Si quantum dots are expected to be safer […]

Biohubx supports the life sciences ecosystem in significant ways, but they need a way to visualize that ecosystem and its connections so that they can perform informal traffic control. This project will create a visualization of the life sciences ecosystem in Canada and around the world, and this resource will be used by Biohubx to […]

We have looked into the CSI problem as a two-phase problem in a heterogeneous (matrix, wormhole) porous medium. If the solvent is a light hydrocarbon, this is fine. However, especially with CO2 and DME, mass transfer to and from the aqueous phase is substantial. In this project, we take advantage of our extensive experience in […]

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease, which is characterized by insufficient or inefficient insulin secretory response and elevated blood glucose level (Prabhakar and Doble, 2008). In 2021, 536.6 million people worldwide suffered from diabetes and this number is projected to grow to 783.2 million by 2045 (Sun et al., 2022). Sorbus decora (SD), commonly […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to assist the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) is building the capacity of Alberta mentoring organizations to evaluate their mentoring programs using a community-driven approach. In particular, this year, we hope to develop and implement more accessible supports that will build the capacity of those organizations who have […]

Nearly one in ten people that are hospitalized in Canada develop a complication with sudden loss of kidney function, called acute kidney injury (AKI), which may lead to other severe health problems such as kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment, heart attacks and failure, stroke and even premature death. Discharge from hospital can be a difficult […]

The global pandemic has made it clear that there is an urgent need for high-quality mental health services for children and youth. Right now, quality is measured in terms of the number of visits to clinics, emergency departments, hospitalizations, and the costs associated with those services. The voices of children, youth, and their families are […]
