Teeth loss significantly impacts the quality of life of over 700 million individuals and is commonly addressed with implant-supported prostheses. Dental implants face biological and microbiological challenges, leading to potential infectious diseases and implant loss. Proteins from blood and saliva adhere to implant surfaces, influencing subsequent biological interactions crucial for implant success. These proteins quality […]

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious food.” The SFBLC currently offers […]

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such […]

Growing beef for consumption requires a high-energy diet. Fat is 2.25 times more energy dense than carbohydrates. To increase the energy in the diet, feedlot nutritionists will add high-fat ingredients to the diet. In western Canada, these sources were traditionally tallow, corn oil, or yellow grease, but byproducts from the ethanol and oilseed industries offer […]

The sources of ions in a particle accelerator are called an ion source. These are composed of a chamber with a plasma (collection of ions and electrons) generated inside. The ions within this chamber are pulled out as a beam into particle accelerator, where they are eventually used for semiconductor manufacturing, production of radioisotopes for […]

In today’s global market for chicken, producers of broiler hatching eggs face challenges in managing production efficiently. Traditional methods struggle with complex record-keeping and a lack of real-time monitoring and prediction capabilities. To overcome these challenges, we propose a digital twin framework—a virtual copy of the chicken production system. This framework uses synthetic data generated […]

The two major objectives of the umbrella grant are to 1) empower the partner organization to improve their digital capacity and gain insight into their data to support business growth and innovation. 2) Provide students with work-integrated learning experiences that expose the students to advanced data analytical techniques, data mining and machine learning. DICE focuses […]

As the economy in China has developed in recent years people are now paying more attention to quality of life. How people choose to spend their time and the social-economic factors influencing these choices are both key factors in shaping the well-being of the nation. Time-use survey, a statistical tool to measure time allocation on […]

The healthcare sector generates an enormous amount of sensitive data, ranging from patient medical records to billing information. The mishandling or unauthorized access to such data can lead to significant legal, financial, and ethical consequences. Despite increasing awareness of the importance of data security, healthcare institutions often still employ outdated or inadequate encryption methods, posing […]

Zika virus is an important mosquito-transmitted human pathogen endemic to tropical and subtropical parts of the world and was responsible for the pandemic in South America in 2016. In pregnant women, the virus can cross the placenta and infect the brain of developing fetus leading to congenital abnormalities and life-long sequelae in newborn babies. Currently […]
