Modernizing plant breeding programs through integrated genomic and phenomic data management and analysis is an important organizational innovation for many public and private plant breeding organizations. This project will expand the GenGuard database and software platform for additional high priority data sources from Nutrien, including new areas of business operations. The proposed project also aims […]

Agricultural biomass (such as wheat, flax, hemp straw, cereal straws) could be a low-cost feedstock for the production of valuable bioproducts. This will require fractionation of different components of biomass and the conversion of the fractionated components into various bioproducts. The intern will work on optimizing the fractionation process and characterization of bioproducts with an […]

With over 30 years of experience, Ag-West Bio is a well established business and has developed a strong reputation with those we do business with. However, the wider agriculture industry is often not aware of Ag-West Bio and the work we do. In late 2022, the AWB management team began a re-branding exercise that will […]

The global demand for protein is increasing at a rapid pace. Certainly, the animal-based proteins alone will not be able to respond to the anticipated rise in demand. Among various sources, plant-based proteins have been identified as the most reliable option. However, they carry an undesirable taste or odor. The aim of this project is […]

This project will produce a rock launching device for curling as well as a printer that will print pebbled curling ice sheets. These devices will be used to help understand the physics of curling (which are still not understood). They will also be used to enhance the fairness of curling competitions and to help train […]

There are increasing demands from the mining industry for automated measurement of key process parameters so the operators can have more control of the process and rapid reaction to the change of conditions such as feed properties. SRC is developing an automated and online measurement platform which can detect and quantify active clays, water hardness […]

This research project will be conducted through internship research by students in the Master in Northern Governance and Development (MNGD). The MNGD is a project-based, interdisciplinary program meant to build capacity among northerners in northern Saskatchewan through a blended delivery model including face-to-face, videoconferencing, online and international field school instruction. The 2013-2014 internship research project […]

This project investigates the cost effectiveness of applying product line techniques to the development of the common elements of certain types of video games. Approximately ten games will be analyzed to identify those parts that are used by most of the games. Those commonly used parts will then be re-engineered to make them more generic […]

Human-caused bruises, tail lesions caused by tail biting, ear lesions, among other things, in slaughter pigs are detrimental to animal welfare, a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, and a source of public concern. Animal-based indicators of welfare are quantifiable characteristics on the animal that are reflective of what the animal has experienced. The evaluation […]

Disruptive antenna technologies are required to provide performance and fabrication advantages in developing broadband wireless application products in emerging upper microwave and millimeterwave radio bands. The internship will investigate the feasibility of applying Polymer-based Dielectric Resonator Antenna (PRA), technology developed at the University of Saskatchewan, to commercial antenna array applications.

Bloomberg recently reported that theft and embezzlement of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ether, have become an annual USD $200 million business. Indeed, just between January 2021 and March 2022 investors have lost over US$1 billion in cryptocurrency scams according to the report by the US’s Federal Trade Commission.
