Cannabigerol (CBG) and Cannabichromene (CBC), like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are chemical compounds called cannabinoids that are traditionally found in cannabis plants. Prior research has shown that these compounds display pain-relieving and anti-anxiety properties. However, the mechanisms of how these effects happen are unknown. This project, in collaboration with Westleaf Labs LP, will examine […]

Public and asset safety is essential for operation of electric utilities. In this project, risk assessment of public and asset safety around AC transmission line structures is proposed. It can be investigated through two aspects: 1) Public safety around AC transmission line structures during power line faulty conditions; and 2) Corrosion rates of transmission line […]

The proposed project involves utilizing the TeleVu system- a cutting-edge virtual care technology-to enhance medical services for wound care in remote communities. This system allows health professionals to monitor and treat patients from a distance, which is crucial for areas where medical resources are scarce. The research undertaken will assess the effectiveness of this technology, […]

This project aims to develop new driving protocols and investigate the exotic physical properties of hyperbolic quantum materials using time-periodically modulated (“Floquet”) electrical circuits under magnetic driving. By leveraging these programmable circuits, we will explore how curvature and periodic modulation influence energy flow, spectral features, and effective magnetic behavior in synthetic hyperbolic lattices. The collaboration […]

This project aims to investigate the pharmacology of norbaeocystin, baeocystin, norpsilocin, and aeruginascin – four compounds found in psychedelic mushrooms. The research will examine how these compounds interact with specific brain receptors – the 5HT-1A, sigma-1 and a-adrenergic receptors – that may contribute to the therapeutic effects. These compounds may have potential for the treatment […]

This project will support research on a pest insect called the lesser clover leaf weevil, which damages red clover seed crops and currently requires frequent insecticide use. The goal is to develop a safer and more targeted control method using natural scent cues that the insects rely on to find mates and food. To do […]

SaskAgMatters (SAM) Mental Health Network Inc. is a support network created to offer a farm-culture friendly mental health support system for Saskatchewan (SK) Agricultural Producers (hereafter collectively called ‘farmers’). SAM offers six free counselling sessions with registered mental health professionals who have backgrounds in agriculture. SAM’s counsellors will be invited to semi-structured interviews focusing on […]

Governments around the world are making considerable efforts to promote renewable energy generation in electric power systems, and to promote technologies such as electric vehicles to replace fossil energy by green electric energy in order to combat the adverse societal impacts of global warming. However, the rising uncertainties in power generation from renewable resources and […]

Dairy fermented products receive a lot of attention from consumers. An issue of dairy fermented foods, especially cheese, is a potential development of bitter taste. A main protein in milk is casein proteins. This family of proteins contains much higher contents of proline, which shows very bitter taste in its peptide forms. During fermentation, casein […]

In 2012, the estimated value of forage in Canada was $5.1 Billion. Forages are the foundation for the beef and dairy sectors which have a combined economic activity of $50 Billion. However we have recently seen a loss of nearly 2.2 Million acres of pasture land across Canada, which means productivity from our remaining forage […]

Dogs can be infected with several species of tapeworms, but show no obvious symptoms. Tapeworms are generally diagnosed by detection of microscopic eggs produced by the parasites that are passed in the dog’s stool. However, this technique is not ideal, as eggs are not always passed in stool, different tapeworms produce visually similar eggs, and […]
