Le tableau de bord de gestion (TBG) est un outil visuel de plus en plus courant auprès des gestionnaires pour réaliser le suivi de la performance organisationnelle. Il consiste à afficher de l’information portant sur l’état de l’organisation afin de soutenir le gestionnaire dans ses décisions. Ainsi, le TBG doit permettre au gestionnaire d’obtenir une […]

Every time it rains, there is a portion of water that doesn’t get absorbed by plants and soils. That water is known as run-off, and it requires management since it can create high energy flows and pick up harmful chemicals (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, gasoline, tire wear) off the streets, driveways, and other hard surfaces as […]

Attracting and retaining employees in rural and remote areas is difficult due to the isolated nature of the communities. These communities, however, need places to shop for food, clothing and commercial goods and that is where local co-operatives come in. Local co-operatives are businesses that support their communities, but who is interested in working in […]

Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 7 Canadian males. While the number of therapeutic options is increasing, matching each patient to the right therapy remains as the challenge for a personalized approach to patient management. Currently, most of the attention has focused on identifying biological tags that can predict patients response. We have developed an […]

Prostate cancer is the disease of the old, effecting 1 in 7 Canadians with a death burden of 1 in 28. The management of the disease becomes extremely difficult with the development of the nonresponsive and aggressive form of the cancer. Thus, the clinicians are rendered helpless and hence there is an urgent need for […]

Au Canada, le cancer épithélial de l’ovaire (CEO) est à l’origine de 1500 décès par an. Etant donné qu’aucune amélioration de la survie des patientes n’a été observée durant les dernières décennies, il devient impératif de développer de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques de ce cancer. Le CEO est caractérisé par une hétérogénéité accrue qui s’installe dès […]

Au Canada, le cancer de l’ovaire est le deuxième cancer gynécologique le plus commun. Étant donné que cette maladie est asymptomatique pendant les stades précoces, plus de 70% des patientes sont diagnostiquées à des stades avancés. Le but de notre projet est de proposer de nouvelles options thérapeutiques du cancer de l’ovaire. Il est établi […]

We propose a novel approach that will provide researchers with an improved method to study multiple molecules, simultaneously in the same tissue section. Our strategy is to use novel nanoparticles that each emit unique multispectral signature and can be used simultaneously. We aim to develop a novel method to detect 15 breast cancer and immunotherapy-related […]

Canadian Sport Policy states a desire to provide sport programs that are accessible and reflect the full diversity of Canadian society. However a recent evaluation of 61 sport organizations in British Columbia revealed that most organizations are ill-equipped to serve people with disabilities wishing to partake in their leisure and sport programs (with some individuals […]

This project aims to operationalize innovative methods for developing cost effective wetland inventories across Alberta by use of numerous sources of remote sensing data, namely light detection and ranging (LiDAR), synthetic aperture Radar (SAR), and optical imagery. The project will formalize a mapping specification, develop training and validation datasets (available in-kind from the academic supervisor […]

Children born with an absent or ineffective right or left ventricle (single ventricle) have a low life expectancy and will undergo at least three surgical procedures ultimately leading to the Fontan Procedure (FP), which allows blood to travel directly to the lungs (bypassing the heart) to become oxygenated. Adolescent FP-patients indicate poor cardiovascular health which […]
