Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]

Peritus.ai, a leading company in community knowledge for developer success, offers a search engine specialized in technical questions about cloud native technologies, and analytics to help vendors augment the health and efficiency of their online community.

The project will entail researching, and developing an integrated communications program with and for Bannikin Travel and Tourism that incorporates new technologies and/or processes, leverages organizational expertise and experience, aligns with current market trends, and responds to the needs of the company’s clients. This will result in an enhanced and more innovative stream of business […]

Preliminary data analysis has indicated that many prestressed concrete elements have experimentally determined shear strengths which are substantially higher than the shear strengths predicted by the related provisions in the Canadian concrete design code. While these results represent no risk to public safety, actual strengths which are significantly higher than predicted strengths result in considerably […]

Prostate cancer is the more common cancer affected men in developed countries. Epidemiological data suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may prevent prostate cancer initiation and progression. However, these data do not decipher which omega-3 fatty acid presents the more potent anticancer properties. SCF Pharma has developed pure and highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids monoglycerides. Interestingly, […]

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada. The design […]

COVID-19 and Influenza virus disease (the flu) are both deadly respiratory diseases. Despite the availability of flu and COVID-19 vaccines, these diseases still pose a serious threat to human health, because different types of their strains are in circulation. In addition to the need of urgent production of both COVID-19 and influenza universal vaccine, development […]

Productique has a production application utilizing a die and mold heat exchanger to cool the fabricated parts. By optimizing the cooling channels in the heat exchanger, the cycle time between successive parts will be reduced. The optimization will be composed of a combination of numerical modelling and experimental results. The data gathered from the experiments […]

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring […]

Farmland covers 6.8% of the surface area of Canada and hosts 313 species of birds, or 69% of all breeding bird species, and Canadian farmland overlaps with the range of 90% of our species at risk. Aerial insectivores including birds and bats are common in these areas and are declining at an alarming rate. Simplification […]

This project is a cooperative arrangement with Siksika economic development. University of Lethbridge researchers are evaluating a range of economic development options for consideration by Siksika. These options are focussed on renewable energy, sustainability, and food security for the nation, and for economic development to further Nation participating in the Alberta and Canadian economies. Siksika […]

This project fills a data gap by creating key research inputs in the climate policy space: an online climate policy database and stringency index. We organize and classify government actions related to climate change in Canada by key criteria of interest including economic sector, target outcome, type of initiative (pricing system, performance regulations, incentives, innovation […]
