The interns will assist with surveying the literature and prior work as it concerns reporting frameworks that capture the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of small, medium enterprise (SME) policies and performance in Canada. This review will inform an interview process with a pilot cluster of businesses to determine the challenges and constraints they […]

This proposed project will be to formulate a comprehensive management plan for the Redberry Lake Biosphere Region (RLBR). The management plan needs to address all issues of relevance for the RLBR. The following issues will likely form part of management plans: biodiversity and ecosystem services and their conservation and use, sustainable land and resource use, […]

To enable economic recovery and growth by assisting Alberta small and medium-sized businesses to participate in e-commerce that is designed to meet their needs. ACC has developed a new tool to connect and support employers across a variety of sectors with an innovative e-commerce platform that not only supports SMEs in getting their products or […]

In order to develop resilience-based earthquake civil infrastructures, a new seismic control system using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements is designed to implement into these structures. Such systems can improve the dynamic behavior of the civil infrastructures and provide their stability under seismic loads by dissipation of the energy, having the self-centering ability, high-deformability, and […]

Currently more than 55 million people globally are living with Alzheimer’s which is estimated to impose a 1.3 trillion dollar annual boat. By 2050, it’s expected that the number of cases will rise to 152 million at an annual cost of 2.8 Trillion annually. The Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) was initiated in 2020 by the […]

Conventional organic waste disposal adapts a linear waste-to-discharge treatment strategy, wasting the vast amount of resources and energy embedded in organic waste. With our innovative reactor design and operation, we have demonstrated significantly increased energy and resources recovery efficiencies under loading rates higher (2 times) than reported. Our products feature high flexibility and easy operation/maintenance, […]

Combinatorial optimization problems widely appear in various social and industrial applications, such as the vehicle routing and transportation problems. They are challenging to solve for traditional computing. Moreover, especially in edge devices, there is a high demand for in-time response and low power. However, the large energy consumption for these numerous operations and data fetches […]

Vehicle reliability and safety are critical especially with the growth of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) and automated driving. Vehicle active safety systems have advanced significantly since they were introduced in about 40 years ago. They have played an important role in making vehicles safer and reducing vehicle fatalities. Current vehicle motion control requires a […]

The utilization of meat by-products (e.g., heart, liver, kidney, intestines, and tongue) is necessary due to their adverse effects on environment. Livestock by-products represent about 52% of the cattle live weight. Since greater amounts of animals live weight is rendered unfavorable for regular consumption, it becomes important to develop technologies for the effective utilization of […]

The Government of Canada is committed to addressing drinking-water-related health and safety needs. However, the vast territory of Canada and the disparate locations of communities makes it a huge challenge to set up water treatment infrastructure and provide necessary training and maintenance. This project aims to develop selfpowered portable devices for simultaneous water disinfection and […]

While newer, advanced Filament Fused Deposition Modeling (FFDM) 3D printing systems for additive manufacturing of plastics products have been designed in order to increase rate productions similar to conventional plastic transformation processes. Up to the date hybrid configurations that can achieve for printing selectively high deposition rates without compromising part quality hasn’t yet been fully […]

Customers usually get confused buying an item online. Therefore, they consult with their friends, use their past experience, and survey reviews from other customers. Some of the main findings from a survey conducted by eMarketer, in which each participant could choose multiple answers are as follows: a friend’s recommendation (76%), previous experiences you had with […]
