Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) is the provincial association for Alberta’s locally-elected public, catholic and francophone school boards. A key component of the Marketing and Communications Intern’s responsibility is to use market research practices to enhance ASBA’s advocacy and communications efforts with various stakeholders including the Government of Alberta, membership and the public. The intern […]

Biogas is a gas obtained from the anaerobic digestion of biomass inside fermenter reactors , typically located in biogas-generating plants. The biogas can be burned to produce electric energy and heat. This form of energy conversion can be significant for the decarbonization of actual energy generation. In addition, the biogas can be “purified” and can […]

Notre projet entend se concentrer sur une particularité du roman “Renart le Contrefait” (XIVe siècle) qui a jusqu’ici assez peu interpellé la critique : dans un monde inversé où des animaux s’approprient déjà les traits d’humains, des femelles anthropomorphisées renversent à leur tour l’ordre du monde et résistent à l’idéalisation d’un féminin obéissant et tempéré […]

The project will investigate the relationship between evolutionary adaptations to upright posture and the occurrence of common back problems in humans. It will use three-dimensional shape analysis techniques to investigate the vertebral shape of both humans and apes, as well as their fossil ancestors. It will also use motion capture technology to explore the relationship […]

Modern software development heavily relies on external libraries. The proposed collaboration will create techniques and publicly-available tools useful to both users of external libraries and maintainers of these libraries. Our hypothesis is that different clients use different subsets of libraries’ API surfaces, and that it is possible to use clustering algorithms to automatically split libraries […]

The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate the variables that contribute to the fracture toughness of an FGM consisting of layers of carbide-free bainite (CFB) and high Manganese (Mn) Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steel, with a gradient in Mn content. The objective of this project is to determine the optimal design of the […]

This research project studies the process of political identity formation and focuses on Albertans. Adults, influenced by society, media and stereotypes have this sense of “wild west” political culture so they usually describe Albertan as a farmer, cowboy or oil worker. On the contrast, youth build their political identities through their families and school education […]

Common Good Solutions is a social impact firm that aims to strengthen the social impact sector through consulting, training, and innovative ecosystem building initiatives. Our work supports governments, institutions, organizations, and businesses to understand, articulate, and grow their social impact. To truly contribute to the goal of more sustainable, socially oriented economies, we have to […]

Ultrafine bubbles (bubbles that are several nanometers in diameter) have been adopted in several applications Japan and surrounding countries, ranging from cleaning and sanitation of surfaces with reduced use of chemicals, to the treatment and preservation of seafood, to new and emerging chemistry and energy storage approaches. One application that has shown some promise is […]

Nowadays the most rewarding aspect of engineering is to create solutions to the needs of society in a natural and resource efficient manner, therefore we must come up with more innovative and resource efficient solutions. One such solution can be a novel, flexible and scalable power-patch, which integrates an inductive coupling, a power conversion and […]

Two-photon polymerization (2PP) additive manufacturing, also referred as two-photon lithography, has enabled complex three-dimensional (3D) structures with emergent mechanical properties to be printed at high speed and lateral resolutions below 200 nm. Recently, the Gu Group at Stanford University reported a 2PP photoresist containing quantum-confined nanoclusters which act as highly sensitive two-photon activators to enable […]

Air-conditioning (AC) accounts for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One way to improve the energy efficiency of AC equipment is to dry the air prior to its cooling. For this, sponge-like materials are used that can soak up the small water droplets that are in the wet air. A new class of nanomaterials called […]
