The information needs of people with colorectal cancer are complex and poorly understood. This project seeks to undertake a narrative synthesis, a form of story telling that brings together evidence in a way that tells a convincing story of why something needs to be done or changed. It helps bridge the gap between research, policy, […]

In this research, a new approach to model Frequency Dependant Network Equivalent (FDNE) will be introduced and implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC. FDNEs are used to accelerate and reduce the size of unnecessary part of the network under simulation. The new approach utilizes Brune’s network synthesis and Tellegen’s extension to create a multiport network whose impedance is […]

In every situation humans make observations and analyse the observed information, by combining and evaluating the relationships between the observation to understand the situation. Often these observations can be uncertain, redundant, from unknown sources, contradictory, and too many for a human to be able to analyse fast enough and correctly, leading to incorrect assessment of […]

Neurodegenerative diseases have caused massive economic burden on the healthcare system as well as reduced patient and caregiver’s quality of life. Identifying biomarkers for early clinical diagnosis, tracking of disease progression, and evaluation of treatment therapies is critical. However, developing such tools remains a significant challenge. The goal of this project is to manage and […]

La transformation du concombre de mer (Cucumaria frondosa) est une activité récente au Canada, présente au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick. Cette nouvelle pêcherie a su trouver des marchés lucratifs en Asie et joue maintenant un rôle crucial pour maintenir l’activité économique de communautés côtières dévitalisées. Actuellement, la transformation du concombre génère beaucoup de coproduits (40% […]

Following the COP21 conference in Paris, Canada has made significant commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to meet these ambitious targets, the evolution of the current energy scenario towards the use of alternative sources of carbon is mandatory. The use of waste as a source of energy is particularly interesting because […]

A wave of energy-related theatrical productions and performances has emerged in Canada in the past decade. “Crude Utopia: The Performance of Energy Transition in Canada” analyzes eight such cultural and artistic productions, ultimately arguing that moments of utopia within them gesture toward possibilities beyond human dependence on oil. Such utopic moments allow audiences to “practice” […]

Les milieux humides et les plaines inondables jouent un rôle majeur dans notre capacité d’adaptation aux changements climatiques, surtout en milieu urbain où les conflits d’usage s’intensifient. Le projet vise à 1) évaluer le rôle des milieux humides dans la régulation des crues et étiages en fonction de différentes projections climatiques et d’occupation du territoire, […]

TerraNotes Ltd is a geoscience company based in Edmonton, Alberta. TerraNotes has developed or improved 75 proprietary techniques in geophysical applications. With the current advanced techniques in making use of ground-based and airborne surveys, the exploration industry can now routinely produce complex geophysical mappings. Hence it is of importance to develop advanced image processing techniques […]

The rapid increase in shale gas development in the Peace Region has been accompanied by concern about environmental impacts, and in particular, fugitive methane migration into shallow groundwater. The goal of the proposed research project is to establish a dedicated groundwater monitoring well network in order to collect data to inform the following questions: 1) […]

Chitin is a vastly available resource in the form of waste from the fishing industry in Canada and worldwide. BOCO Bio-Nanotechnologies has currently the infrastructure in place for scalable extraction of CNWs (Chitin nano-whiskers) from crab shells. CNWs are crystalline regions of chitin, possessing high strength, stiffness and aspect ratio, making them ideal for reinforcement […]

Au cours de la dernière décennie, les barres en matériaux composites de polymère renforcé de fibres (PRF) ont été utilisées avec succès comme renforcement principal pour les structures en béton telles que les ponts, les dalles de stationnement, les réservoirs d’eau, les tunnels et les structures marines. Ces ouvrages ont démontré de bonnes performances et […]
