We will be looking at the feasibility and acceptability of a healing program that incorporates Ketamine medicine sessions with First Nations healing practices. The intern will be helping give surveys to the participants. The partner organization will benefit by learning how they can improve the program, and the intern will benefit by gaining experience in […]

The proposed project focuses on using Time-Resolved X-ray Solution Scattering (TR-XSS), an advanced technique for studying fast molecular changes in DNA nanostructures. By capturing real-time structural changes when these nanostructures are exposed to environmental stimuli like laser pulses. The project aims to improve our understanding of their stability and dynamic behavior. This project will provide […]

Patients referred for thyroid nodule (TN) assessment will be invited to participate in the study. Patients will undergo screening using infrared thermography (IT) and ultrasound (US) with needle insertion. Neck IT thermograms will be captured using the FLIR TS865 for all patients’ frontal and lateral norms. With the IT camera software, the regions of interest […]

This project will enable customers to be able to track their scheduled jobs with technicians on their mobile devices. The work will see the development of an application that can facilitate customers to view the locations of technicians on a map and scheduled appointments with them. The technicians can set their status as “available” and […]

This collaborative project, involving the University of Saskatchewan and Université de Lorraine in France, seeks to advance our understanding of bioplastics—environmentally-friendly materials made by combining polymers with natural fibers like flax or hemp. Our aim is to develop models that can predict how these materials behave under different conditions. By studying the small-scale structures of […]

The purpose of this research is to develop improved diagnostic and treatment tools for prostate cancer in humans through the use of a canine (dog) model and a synchrotron-based x-ray source for imaging and therapy at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). Novel techniques in synchrotron x-ray imaging, specifically in-line phase contrast CT (PC-CT), will be […]

The Gabriel Dumont Institute Training & Employment (GDITE) project aims to formalize its innovative “Relentless Support” career development model, which focuses on Métis strengths, community-based development, and cultural alignment. Unlike traditional, individualistic career development models, GDITE’s approach emphasizes reciprocity, joy, and long-term local workforce sustainability. This project will document the fluidity and success of the […]

Lokpriy is studying decentralization policies in the developing world, with a primary focus on India. His research topic is “Three Essays on Discourse of Decentralization: Understanding the Influence of Political Competition and Development Outcomes in India”. His research focuses on, examining the global political and economic context for decentralization and how the different components of […]

Droplet-containing plasma discharges (so-called “misty plasmas”) provide an exciting new route to the deposition of technologically important nano-structured and nano-composite thin films. These films have many potential applications in important technology sectors. The aim of this project is to study the plasma response to the injection of nanoparticle-containing microdroplets, and to correlate the evolution of […]

Previous research has demonstrated that provision of key functional amino acids (methionine, threonine, and tryptophan) have positive benefits on health and performance of pigs. Additional benefits may be achieved by targeted delivery of some amino acids, namely tryptophan, to specific sections of the gut. For example, encapsulation of amino acids prevents their absorption in the […]

Major dietary components have been shown to affect gut health and performance of pigs, including fibre and protein. While protein has been implicated in the development of pathogen-associated post-weaning diarrhea, low dietary protein diets are inconsistent in mitigating the negative effects of protein content. The indigestible protein fraction may be more relevant. Dietary fibre has […]

This research estimates the employment impacts of a new mine proposed for northern Saskatchewan. We estimate the direct, indirect, and induced employment effects of the proposed mine. Using publically available data, the research shows how a direct investment in a mine creates jobs all along its supply chain. This indirect employment is expected to be […]
