This project will develop data-driven models for production performance analysis and optimization for solvent-assisted bitumen recovery operations and related processes. Effective operations of solvent processes are crucial for reducing GHG emissions associated with bitumen extraction processes. Although the recent developments in digital oilfield technologies have enabled real-time surveillance of downhole operating conditions and production data, […]

Recent advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have enabled visualization of iron and myelin in the brain using a method that can measure the effects of MRI field changes. The physical property measured is called magnetic susceptibility, which can visualize iron accumulation in the brain and also myelin which is a wrapping around nerves. The […]

Sexy Shroom is a mushroom extract supplement created by Mycos to increase the sex drive and sexual function of men. Specifically, Sexy Shroom helps older men with erectile dysfunction by alleviating the three factors that induce erectile dysfunction (ED): endocrinological factors (i.e. Low testosterone), neurogenic factors (i.e. psychosomatic factors), and vasculogenic/metabolic factors (e.g. atherosclerosis, diabetes, […]

Our goals are to evaluate the effectiveness of research funding in the Canadian agri-food sector, through the lens of research outcomes and alignment with government priorities, and to benchmark the benefits of the government funding programs internationally. After building a comprehensive database of available funding across Canada, we will mobilize analytical tools to qualify and […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Optima Living operates Independent Living, Assisted Living, Supportive Living, Long-Term Care, and Memory Care communities in Alberta and British Columbia. Our communities are among the best places to live and work in Western Canada. The company’s commitment to innovation and personalized care sets it apart in the industry. Enhancing Elderly Engagement and Well-being through Technology […]

In a complex environment like mineral extraction, it is difficult to back the cause-effect relationship between a specific process variable and the overall performance (output, cost, GHG emission) with scientific principles. Consequently, process data is used to deduce an empirical correlation between the process variables and their estimated effects. In the present project, process data […]

We have developed a device that is rapid, sensitive and adaptable to performing multiple assays to detect chemicals, biologicals, non-biologicals, salts, metals and pathogens to mention a few. Activity involved in this project will model the behaviour of sensors to better understand the output sensitive to the analyte of interest and the sensor configurations. This […]

The public greatly depends on a country’s health care providers to be sufficiently healthy to deliver care themselves. When the wellness of health-care workers suffers, then the health of the public at large is put in jeopardy. This project represents a ground-breaking collaboration between the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) who created a comprehensive mental health […]

Excessive use of antimicrobials results in the evolution of antimicrobial resistant microbes, and the infection caused by such microbes are known as antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR infections are on the rise and has a negative impact on the quality of life, healthcare system and ultimately on the economy. The current proposal aims at the […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]

To ensure effective pest control in Alberta, we will compare the efficacy of our local entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) with a commercially available strain, S. feltiae. EPNs are microscopic worms that naturally kill pests like black cutworms and cabbage root maggots. Our study will focus on a native EPN strain (strain 213) and a commercial strain […]
