The estimated value of honey bee pollination in the form of increased crop yields in Canada is $2 – $4 billion. In recent years, beekeepers pollinating blueberries have reported an increased incidence of European foulbrood (EFB). EFB is a bacterial disease of honey bee larvae which can lead to larval starvation and death. Risk factors […]

Cryopreserved (frozen) semen provides optimal genetics to cattle and especially dairy farmers, facilitating improved breeding programs. The sperm cryopreservation process significantly reduces fertility compared to fresh sperm. Each percent of reduced fertility amounts to a significant financial loss to farmers. Thus there is great pressure on semen providers to improve post thaw fertility, as it […]

Heavy gas oil (HGO) obtained from Athabasca bitumen is very difficult to hydrotreat due to high sulfur and nitrogen content. It is proposed that removal of non-basic nitrogen species from HGO prior to hydrotreating will strongly enhance desulfurization process and improve the length of catalytic cycle. The goal of this research is to develop a […]

The proposed research project’s objective is to perform analysis on airfoil dimensions and configurations for a crosswind power kite system for wind energy generation. The airfoil will be examined through computational methods to determine how well the airfoil will perform. The airfoil configurations will then be optimized to find better designs for airborne wind energy […]

Potash is a mineral that is mined for use as fertilizer in agriculture. Potash accounted for $6.4 billion in exports from Saskatchewan in 2018 and potash mining represents a large fraction of the economy of Saskatchewan. When mining potash, it is important to avoid mining into areas near water-filled porous rocks since this can cause […]

L’indsutrie minière vit actuellement d’important changement en raison des nouvelles technologies des communications qui permettent maintenant la transmission efficace de données dans les mines souterraines. Ces nouvelles technologies faciliteront l’automatisation des équipements d’extraction, rendront accessible l’interopérabilité entre ceux-ci et permettront la numérisation des opérations. Le projet de recherche présenté dans cette demande souhaite tirer profit […]

This project will develop a low cost prototype fusion reactor to create energy from water. We will find a better way to add the power to run it and to increase the efficiency of operation over previous versions of the machine. The interns will increase Fuse’s knowledge of the workings of the reactor and the […]

The scope of the internship is to focus on business strategy and marketing during the relaunch of True Vision in light of the Covid-19 restrictions. The key activities that will be undertaken by the intern will be to regularly meet and work with the Vision Center manager to first get a comprehensive understanding of the […]

Next generation plant breeding requires bringing together many different types and sources of information about different plant varieties, including their genetic information together with how well they grow in different environments. The best ways to organize and integrate these sources of information within a plant breeding program is not well known. In this project, we […]

Haven Family Connections Inc is changing its accounting and finance processes, which they believe will entail many activities for my internship. As the tasks that they listed, they will require the intern to fill out paperwork regarding changes to their processes, reconciliations, and descriptions of accounting policies. The organization will be wanting data transfer as […]

The proposed project with will explore the feasibility of pelletizing heat-sensitive protein and fibre-rich biomass. This animal feed additive is used to improve the digestibility of the diet and improve the performance of poultry and swine. Since densification process involves heat, it is important to investigate whether lowering temperature of the process (pelleting) and reducing […]

This research project gives business students an opportunity to get in touch with the real world and apply the knowledge they studied to help solve business problems. Students need to integrate their knowledge in Marketing, Finance and Information Technologies to help the organizations to understand their customers, recommend the IT-driven solutions to tackle the customer […]
