Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in Canada and is a progressive disease characterized by heart dilatation and impaired heart function that can ultimately lead to heart failure, with a rising incidence and a 5-year survival rate of only 50%. Advanced cases of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are referred for […]

FluidPlanet.org is a site that hosts digital twins for use in education, entertainment and enterprise. We work with university and college students to produce and publish simulations of real world places.

In 2022, the potato industry contributed $2.87B to the Canadian economy and $2.31B to the Alberta economy. Powdery scab has been present in Alberta for decades but because of no above-ground symptoms it has been ignored and no registered products are available to mitigate it. Syngenta suspectsthat the pathogen’s population levels are increasing because of […]

Tailings produced by oil sands mining operations are a long-term liability. Separation of water from fine solids is a critical operational and environmental challenge for tailings management and reclamation. Current methods have ongoing challenges to meet geotechnical performance criteria, and require expensive processes and movement of very large amounts of fluids and solids. Electrokinetic Solutions […]

Visual regression testing automatically analyzes gameplay sessions to detect visual bugs (also known as glitches in a game context). Visual bugs are bugs that can be detected by just looking at them, such as those related to texture and lighting, but also more complex ones like those related to the physics engine (such as a […]

Quantum experiments and technologies often require temperatures as low as one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero. “Cryogen-free dilution refrigerators” are advanced instruments to reach and maintain such temperatures simply and economically. However, they come with the price of significant vibrations – mechanical noise that can be detrimental for many applications. The low-temperature community explored […]

The proposed research project focuses on studying the urban heat island effect, which is a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures in urban areas than their surroundings. This effect can impact public health, energy usage, and urban planning. The research will use advanced analysis techniques to understand how different factors like building characteristics and […]

This project plans to unravel the relation between habitat characteristics and social dynamics that influence sexual segregation in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). We will evaluate environmental and behavioural factors to better understand habitat preferences and social interactions that drive observed seasonal social and habitat segregation in bighorn sheep. The results of this study […]

Municipalities of all sizes are increasingly being asked to take on a greater role in terms of citizen-based lives, and extending their policy and planning purview into domains such as community sustainability and resilience, community economic development, functional regional development, and addressing the diversity of needs and expectations coming from both new-comers to Canada, and […]

Supplemental lighting for greenhouse production, such as LED lights, is essential for greenhouse producers in Northern climates. HPS lights are currently the most used supplemental light, but they are approximately two times less power efficient compared to LED. Unfortunately, LEDs manufactured for horticultural purposes are very expensive compared to industrial full-spectrum High Bay LEDs, which […]

The “Explore Lethbridge” initiative aims to develop a Progressive Web App (PWA) that functions as an innovative platform for tourists to explore and interact with local businesses in Lethbridge. With an intuitive interface, the app will provide tourists with up-to-date information, offer incentives such as prizes, and feature interactive elements to highlight local attractions and […]

??Judge and Associates currently face challenges in managing contracts efficiently within their real estate operations. The manual process of contract management using paper documents and spreadsheets is labor-intensive and prone to errors. There is a need for automation to streamline the contract lifecycle from creation to renewal while ensuring compliance and accuracy. This project aims […]
