Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death and disability, with 1 in 3 of us at risk of the disease. Screening for relevant biomarkers regularly can help prevent and manage CVD. This project focuses on the acquisition and analysis of CVD biomarkers obtained using a device consisting of polymeric pressure sensors and advanced […]

This proposal is for the development of an exercise for catastrophic event that could significantly impact EPCOR’s operations and its ability to provide electricity, water or wastewater treatment services to over three million customers in Alberta. The findings from this project will significantly enhance EPCOR’s ability to plan for, respond to, continue operations and recover […]

To understand how well a city’s socio-economic and natural systems are functioning, destinations around the world utilize indicators to measure and report on sustainability stewardship. Global Destination Movement put forth an international benchmarking framework (GDS Index) to evaluate a destinations’ sustainability performance. Sustainability is measured across 77 indicators within four categories (social, environmental, supplier and […]

In rheumatoid arthritis care, patients face long waits and frequent appointments. Using a patient-initiated follow-up model can help patients avoid unnecessary appointments and reduce wait times, but this only works if patients have enough support to manage their disease. Physical activity is essential for managing RA, but many people with RA do not have enough […]

The quantum internet is predicted to have a substantial impact on our modern society, enabling the transfer of information through networks (so-called quantum networks) with unprecedented security compared to our current, classical protocols. Although small-scale, proof-of-principle quantum network experiments using photons (quanta of light) have already shown great promise, the scaling of these experiments into […]

Building construction sector plays important roles in Canadian economy, which also has high demand. Studies in this field can make substantial contributions to the society. This study is proposed to explore the usage of a standard documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are a set of detailed and concise written instructions that describe the sequential […]
