In the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) of Alberta, boreal peatland ecosystems are becoming increasingly fractionated by linear disturbances associated with resource exploration and subsequent extraction. Roads, for example, have the potential to alter peatlands through changes to flow regimes, runoff generation to downstream aquatic systems, and carbon sequestration. The heterogeneous geology in the AOSR […]

Despite growing concerns about the number of overweight and obese cats and dogs there has been little success in reducing the prevalence of pet obesity. The veterinary industry and prominent pet care companies, including Royal Canin, have indicated that reducing the prevalence of pet obesity remains a priority to protect the health and wellbeing of […]

The Superplastic Forming process involves gas injection from a variable pressure supply, to form a heated metallic sheet into a complex automotive body panel shape. The current process involves excessive forming times which allow residual stresses to relax thus avoiding cracks and tearing. Research shows that pressure pulsations of the gas supply increase the allowable […]

This project examines multidisciplinary methodologies in adult Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education, particularly focusing on strategies involving dialogic processes. Dialogic modes in learning broadly refer to activities of collaborative meaning-making through shared expression and communication rather than monologic processes, whereby fixed meaning is transferred through a one-way approach. As the demand for more conscientious […]

In the Arctic, climate change is leading to declines in seasonal sea-ice cover. Polar bears are increasingly at-risk from sea-ice loss because they use the ice as a platform to hunt seals, their preferred food source. When the ice retreats seasonally, bears rely on their stored energy reserves as fuel, but climate-driven changes in sea-ice […]

? Comprehensive review of S2EBPR, with a focus on operation, performance and microbial structure ? Evaluate and understand the effect of operational factors on conventional and S2EBPR systems by water quality monitoring, carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen mass balance, metabolic activity and kinetic tests and microbial ecology analysis ? Design and optimization of an S2EBPR system […]

As a solution to reduce congestion on vehicular roads and mitigate longer travelling times, this technology provides the most optimal routes for drivers by guaranteeing the shortest travel time in an eco-friendly environment. The technology relies on communication to road-side intelligent intersection agents with embedded sensors that to estimate routes based on the real-time road […]

Space missions are very costly, limited and often short-lived. The capabilities and value of a space mission depends on the energy and power available on a space craft. For many space missions it is not possible to bring an energy source that can supply the required power throughout the entire duration of the mission. Furthermore, […]
