Les prairies indigènes sont essentielles à la survie des oiseaux spécialistes des terres herbeuses. La stagiaire déterminera les impacts des récents développements gaziers sur l’abondance des oiseaux chanteurs dans les terres herbeuses indigènes du sud-ouest de la Saskatchewan. La détérioration (densité des puits, pollution par le bruit, perturbations humaines, espèces exotiques, compaction du sol, puits […]

Une collectivité rurale de villégiature de la Saskatchewan a demandé à Erin Consulting Ltd de lui fournir des solutions écologiques pour le traitement et la gestion de ses eaux usées. Un stagiaire de l’Université de Regina a été désigné pour proposer des solutions faisant appel à des plantes indigènes des Prairies capables d’éliminer les nutriments […]

Brine water produced in the mineral extraction process can cause heavy damage to soil and biota when the brine water is spilled during storage and transportation. The damage from spilled brine water can spread rapidly and last for decades, affecting groundwater, ecological security, and human health. In addition, the value of the damaged land will […]

Smartphone based indoor navigation services are desperately needed in an indoor GPS-denied environment, such as in Combat-zone Surveillance, Health Monitoring, Fire Detection, etc. The Receive Signal Strength (RSS) based algorithms are commonly used in indoor localization, which rely on the WiFi fingerprint data built by the Mobile Crowdsensing approach. Conventional statistical and probability techniques are […]

The new wireless network technology will provide users with a higher communication quality. However, we will face two critical problems: the wireless traffic will increase considerably, and the wireless signals will contain noise. The Wifi signals are represented as time series, but processing and removing noise from such huge-volume, high-dimensional and complex data pose great […]

The release of 5G network in near future will provide reliable connectivity, higher throughput, better service quality, and more efficient signaling. The network traffic load will continuously rise with more and more mobile users using the internet services. There is a need to forecast wireless network traffic load to manage network resources efficiently and provide […]

This research project focuses on Identification, Classification, and Measurement (ICM) of defects in different manufacturing steps at Evraz. Images/videos of the defects will be collected by a combination of the existing pipe inspection systems in use at Evraz and also the robotic system, equipped with a camera vision, to be completed in this project. Also, […]

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) in enhanced oil recovery is considered a new and promising technology as it has never been tested in any pilot plant or reservoir field. ILs are very similar to surfactants as they help reduce the interfacial tension, change the wettability of the reservoir, and some have strong viscous effect, […]

With the growth in demand for electric vehicles and mobile devices powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, demand for lithium is expected to increase by over 200% in the next decade. Current lithium production comes primarily from Australia, South America and China. There are significant lithium reserves in the same Saskatchewan aquifers currently being exploited for […]

When our society has faced existential threats in the past, we have banded together to use the technology at hand to overcome them. The COVID-19 outbreak is one such threat that requires the same level of societal effort today. However, in the 21st century, we can combine social innovation, citizen science, and digital epidemiology to […]

Recent research has confirmed the lethal effects of the COVID-19 virus on the heart, and thus the proposed research will use a cardiac sensor called seismocardiography to assess the mechanical function of the heart in patients with respiratory and cardiac pathology, as well as in normal-healthy aging patients, to assist in the understanding, diagnosis and […]

Solvent degradation in carbon capture plants due to the influence of fly ash is very costly and requires frequent replacement of the solvent used. Solvent replacement cost is the main hurdle to the deployment of Carbon Capture and Sequestration technologies. The proposed online analytical method would be a great tool in managing daily operations of […]
