The goal of this project is to build an information system to help SCA(Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association) improve the information flow between itself and cattle producers, make information more accessible for cattle producers and automate some of the procedure SCA currently has to do manually. Examples include sale reporting via web services and cow tracking via […]

The current Alpha Sizing system for clothing sizes (S, M, L) has vast inconsistencies. Apart from shopper frustration, the most significant consequence of unpredictable fit is the monetary and environmental cost of unnecessary shipping and logistics. 30% of clothes are returned due to poor fit. The cost of this problem exceeds US$14 Billion annually. Furthermore, […]

Prescribed fire is an important tool to maintain the productivity and diversity of grasslands. Remnant grasslands within the jurisdiction of the Meewasin Valley Authority are thought to require fire to both maintain ecosystem integrity and to reduce the danger of wildfire. While there are many individual studies demonstrating the value of prescribed fire in Western […]

The EFMP is an environmental management platform. At its basic level it monitoring the environmental conditions over time and over the entire footprint of a project. The footprint of a development does not end at the boundary fence – the area that the development effects on a regular basis. The environmental information comes from Earth […]

The quest for finding plant protein alternatives to traditional protein sources (e.g., meat, dairy, eggs and soy) used by the food industry is being driven by consumer demand for healthier choices, population growth, environmental sustainability and regulator influencers. Millet represents a staple food for developing countries, especially in Africa and Asia, and represents rich source […]

This research project will assess, and compare cybersecurity frameworks currently in place for critical infrastructure protection in Internet of things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT) and 5G to determine what the recommended policies are for critical infrastructure protection today for IoT, OT and 5G, and if there is already a currently used framework that supports all […]

A variety of alternative strategies have been developed for increasing the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. An optimum design or repair strategy requires not only an estimate of upfront costs, but also the means to compare all associated costs against the potential extension to the life of the structure. Unfortunately, […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis, where personal distancing and isolation are required for the greater societal good. Organizations and communities are looking for practical tools to support mental health amidst this […]

There is an increasing demand for high resolution soil information to support precision agriculture. One of the tools that has been a focus of research to help meet this demand is the development of proximal soil sensing using reflectance spectroscopy. The advantage reflectance spectroscopy is that it is rapid, non-destructive, and can test for multiple […]

Discarded plastic is a significant environmental contaminant. Plastic pollution is found in marine and freshwater systems and affects a substantial number of aquatic species around the world, either by entanglement or ingestion of small pieces (i.e. microplastics). These plastic debris release dangerous chemicals with unknown toxic effects for species that rely on marine environments to […]
