Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) are widely used to deliver drugs to the lungs for treatment of respiratory diseases. However, targeting delivery of inhaled drugs to the lungs is not straightforward. The airways of the mouth and throat present a barrier through which inhaled particles must penetrate in order to reach their target sites in the […]

The power system transfers power from electricity producers to consumers in real time. The demand, generation, and system characteristics dictate how power flows across different transmission lines. Sometimes, the power flow can exceed the capacity of the transmission lines. This would be especially true if a new generator connects at a location within insufficient transmission […]

The use of products that contain batteries is increasing exponentially due to energy transition and improvements in battery technology. Therefore, using safe and efficient batteries with a longer lifetime, less environmental emissions, and higher power capacity is beneficial for the environment, economy, and energy sectors. Batteries under consideration are as replacements for those currently utilized […]

The Federal Government in Canada announced to ban harmful single-use plastics in 2019. University of Calgary has undertaken responsible stewardship towards sustainable development through the creation of a “zero-waste” campus vision. Eliminating the use of single-use plastics on the campus would directly contribute towards the goal. Dr. Irene Herremans and Kruti Mukesh working with Nature’s […]

The SDI Group has been a part of the Co op program for the last 13 years. We have supported many students in providing a well rounded experience and mentorship as part of their education. A student being able to be in the field and working directly with the health and safety organization, complements their […]

A. Overall Project Objective Recent research at the University of Calgary has focused on shear walls and on evaluating the influence of various parameters on in-plane shear capacity. The reason for this is that, for example, while it is recognized by most researchers that compression on walls increases the shear strength of masonry, the quantification […]
