Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur frequently in field/court sports and often require surgical reconstruction (ACLR) and a long rehabilitation that can last 12 months or more. Return to sport (RTS) criteria are not well defined and this may be one factor contributing to the high ACL reinjury rate and sport participation attrition. A central […]

Wind energy technology plays a crucial role in the global strategy for a green transition, with a significant acceleration in deploying new wind power plants being essential to meet global CO2 reduction targets. In this context, research in numerical simulation can provide the renewable energy sector with reliable tools for new wind farm design, land […]

This project is about making museums more open, fair, and inclusive. It focuses on how museums decide to remove certain artworks from their collections or re-introduce and contextualize artworks from a decolonized, anti-racist worldview, as well as the museum architecture and the exhibition spaces. Through comprehensive research, interviews with experts, and community discussions, we aim […]

While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

Extensive ecosystem changes are expected to be driven by decreasing water availability in the western boreal forest. Warming of 2° C since the 1950’s has already been linked to water stress and declining tree growth in some regions and species. Tree rings are a valuable tool for tracking changes in forest growth over time, but […]

Urban forests are one key to building a resilient city as urban trees provide numerous benefits to city residents including environmental, social and economic. This project includes two key components. The first is for the intern to help complete the City of Camrose street-tree inventory, while the second is for the intern to contribute toward […]

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening medical condition, and it remains the primary reason for premature death (persons aged 25–64) worldwide. Therefore, early screening of cardiac biomarkers is critically important for improving survival chances. The existing methods for detecting cardiac biomarkers are multi-step approaches and require laboratory tests, which have higher test times, are […]
