Music interventions have been seen to be effective in promoting social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and may be specifically favoured by older adults. However, little is known on the effectiveness of a music intervention that is adapted to the mood and preferences of individual older adults. To fill this gap, the proposed project will assess […]

The use of plant growth promotion microbial extracts containing various metabolites is a promising technique to improve crop growth and combat various stress conditions. Very little is known about the effect of bacterial cell-free extracts on plant growth promotion and salt stress mitigation. The project aims to: (i) Optimization of growth media and parameters to […]

Point dendrometers are indispensable for monitoring tree growth and detecting stress in forest ecosystems, offering detailed insights into cambial activity and environmental responses. The project’s goal is to harness machine learning to address data gaps and enhance the precision of trend detection in dendrometer data. This approach will also seek to identify signals of ecosystem […]

Psychotic disorders including schizophrenia are severe mental disorders affecting 2-3% of the population and rank among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Although early intervention is effective in improving illness outcome, a significant proportion of first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients experience persistent functional impairment even after clinical remission. Accurate prediction of FEP patient trajectories will allow […]

Devant le problème grandissant de sites miniers abandonnés issues de l’industrie minière qui cause de l’instabilité structurale des sols et des résidus miniers; et face aux diverses possibilités d’améliorer l’impact environnemental, tant en termes de procédés nouveaux ou de technologies nouvelles qu’en termes de protection de l’environnement, un programme de confinement et de restauration de […]

Wetlands offer various benefits to the environment. They help store carbon, regulate the climate, and improve water quality. Wetlands also have a cooling effect on their surroundings, which influences the local and regional climate. This cooling effect benefits the plants and animals in the area. Due to changes in how we use land and more […]

This research addresses a persistent threat to individuals with cystic fibrosis—Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, known for biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. Unlike prior studies on natural products, this initiative explores the combined impact of conventional antibiotics and MHCombiotics Inc.’s unique blend of metalloid and plant-based compounds. Demonstrated effective against P. aeruginosa, this study compares their efficacy […]

The First Nations Health Atlas aims to comprehensively analyze diverse administrative datasets from Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services to produce holistic analytics for First Nations health in the province. The initiative’s core objectives include establishing a comprehensive roster of First Nations individuals from Bigstone, Siksika, and Maskwacis nations, analyzing disease incidence and prevalence, scrutinizing […]

Post-surgical peritoneal adhesions are the leading cause of the postoperative bowel occlusions and are often associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. There is no successful treatment developed yet and adhesion re-operations are only a temporary solution. Therefore, there is a strong unmet clinical need to develop novel therapies to help patients. The Kubes lab […]

The design and manufacturing of dies and molds represent a significant link in the entire production chain. It is on the critical path of development of many products, such as automobile and consumer electronics. The tooling development industries always meet three challenges: the demand for research and development speed, the high requirement for labor skill, […]
