Web based application framework is a popular topic for solving mobile development on different type of devices. This project aims to compare popular web based application frameworks, and their performance in native APIs in large amount of data storage, NFC, Bluetooth for inter device communication and HTTP (e.g. long polling, comet, websocket) and push protocols […]

Natural Canadian zeolite is an attractive mineral for the restoration of lands disturbed by the extraction of natural resources such as metals, oil and gas. Dr. Wonjae Chang’s Environmental Engineering Lab developed a dualmineral prototype, using Canadian zeolites, for the desalination of potash brine-impacted water. Dr. Chang also demonstrated the significant accumulation of residual potassium […]

The intern will enhance the functionality of a hand-held gamma spectrometer produced by Environmental Instrument Canada (EIC). In order to improve the performance of the spectrometer, the control board will be switched to a higher spec microcontroller, and the firmware source code will be re-written from interpreted Javascript to C code. New functionality, including energy […]

This project will work to better understand record keeping adoption on Canadian farms and ranches. Farmers and ranchers use production and financial records for a number of reasons: to identify trends in production and areas for improvement; to measure financial performance at the whole-farm, business unit (animals, land, profit and cost centres) and individual animal […]

Beer has been brewed since the dawn of civilization and is composed of only 4 simple ingredients: hops, water, toasted barley (called malt) and yeast. Yeast are the factories that convert chemicals in the starting materials to ethanol and flavors. Not all yeast are the same; over the millennia selection of specific yeast strains for […]

The build-up and transport of contaminants in aquifer systems occurs through a variety of processes. The leaching of contaminants from industrial waste and debris in landfill sites during rainfall events represents a source of water borne contaminants which threaten ground and surface aquifers. This internship research involves the design ofnanofiltration media and involves studies of […]

As the mobile landscape continues to grow and diverge, there is the need to start looking for innovative ways to facilitate the Business-to-Business (B2B) use of mobile devices to support cloud hosted enterprise data. For most enterprises, the bigger hurdle is how to support the enterprise system access from the mobile while ensuring business continuity […]

Proper education and training are necessary to ensure young drivers have the appropriate knowledge and skills to drive safely. The current Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) graduated licensing program has education components and some in-car practice sessions, however, data shows that many young drivers are still involved in accidents due to a lack of experience driving […]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imagig modality which can visualize the internal structure of the human body and is free of radiation. In this project, we would like to write a multi-functional and robust MRI software package using ultrashort echo time (UTE) technique to realize the imaging of the tissues, such as tendons, ligaments […]

Working with the FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan (the Network), the research project will involve a process and impact evaluation of the Improving Outcomes for Children with FASD in Foster Care training. This training is mandatory for all Saskatchewan foster families and optional for adoptive parents. The overarching goal of the training is to increase […]

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supplementation with bovine colostrum, in combination with an 8-week (1 hour, 3 times per week) resistance or weight-training program, on lean tissue (muscle) mass, strength, inflammation, bone resorption, and cognitive function in men and women 50 years and older. Bovine colostrum is the initial […]

In response to COVID-19 in Canada, demand for sanitizer products has increased dramatically. Health Canada has relaxed guidelines for sanitizers meant for consumers and maintained the regulation for medical grade ethanol in healthcare settings. In response to the increased demand and relaxed guidelines, organizations in the ethanol supply chain have been producing sanitizer products. The […]
