The proposed research project aims to explore and study natural substances called antioxidants that can be found in plants native to Canada. Antioxidants from plants are natural products that promote wellness by protecting our bodies from harmful molecules called free radicals. Certain plants that flourish under the conditions found in the Canadian prairies are likely […]

The clinical and cost effectiveness of immunizing children WIth PCV7 and PCV13 is well established in the scientific literature. However the success of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in children has given rise to questions from payers regarding whether continued investment in PCV13 for children is needed. The proposed research project undertaken by the intern will help […]

FluidPlanet.org produces and publishes digital twins (virtual versions of real places) for academic, educational and enterprise use. By combining the latest technologies in mapping (GIS), sensors (IoT) and visualization (gaming), we create realistic looking and behaving simulations of real locations. These can then be populated with virtual people, animals and buildings to tell stories that […]

AgSights has created several virtual tools to support livestock producers with herd inventory, individual animal tracking and several types of reports. More recently, AgSights noted a lack of similar tools as such to support decision making in the Canadian bison industry, which is also a demand observed by the industry stakeholders. Since Lakeland College (via […]

The gut microbiota comprises all bacteria inhabiting the intestines and has been shown to play a significant role in both health and disease. Although previously overlooked, new research shows that both the gut microbiota and their metabolites may influence exercise performance. Probiotic supplementation has been shown to have a small but significant positive effect on […]

Tissue-resident fibroblasts and their attendant activities are central drivers of a diverse range of diseases. The overarching theme of this proposal is to develop novel fibroblast reporter lines that will enable us to identify tractable therapeutic targets to modify fibroblast activity. To identify such targets, we are proposing to carry out high throughput screens (i.e., […]

Project 1 Circle Cardiovascular Imaging is a software medical device Manufacturer based in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Circle Cardiovascular imaging creates multiple products for the analysis of patient images for assisting the diagnosis of cardiac and neurological diseases. cvi42 Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance/Computed Tomography Imaging Software Application (referred to as cvi42) is a software as a medical […]

Forage blends also known as cocktails or polycrops are gaining popularity among beef producers and are being incorporated into grazing systems. Winter swathgrazing is a strategy that allows beef producers to extend cattle grazing activities into the fall and winter months, which provide some economic and environmental benefits that enhance farm sustainability. Adequate feed supplies […]

Please conduct feasibility study on purchasing Parkdale school. We may have the opportunity to purchase the buy the school in the near future. We may be able to get the school for no cost as through and act of reconciliation, but we may also have to buy it outright. It is an older building and […]

Symbiotic EnviroTek Inc., developed and patented a proprietary technology for growing micro-algae for producing plant-based protein for human food, animal feed and for treating wastewater. The project includes engineering revision, fabrication and testing to certain subcomponents of technology to improve operational efficiencies and performance.

The goal of our project is to develop a portable, laser-based technique for in-situ analysis of agricultural soils. This work will implement and enhance a technique known as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for in-situ measurements of key soil properties, such as carbon content. LIBS is a minimally invasive detection technique, capable of rapid multielemental […]

Geothermal energy, unlike other renewable sources, is available at all hours of the day, and can provide industry with a continuous supply of energy. However, one of the barriers to widespread geothermal use and the replacement of natural gas as energy sources in industry, is how to incorporate geothermal energy into the industrial system without […]
