Recently, more researchers and developers are looking towards HTML5 mobile applications as a solution for targeting multiple devices and platforms. This is because the browser is becoming the default platform and its de facto standards are HTML5 and JavaScript. In the enterprise, compelling HTML5 mobile web applications that promise to offer the same functionality as […]

The shortage and quality of food to feed the existing and growing population is an issue of global concern. There is also serious problem with the fungal and bacterial pathogens which result in losses of billions of dollars of annual loss of agricultural products. This project is an attempt to mitigate this with the use […]

ITER is the model designed to scale down the sun on earth. However, for this fusion reaction very high temperature is required. Despite of magnetic confinement of plasma in reactor, the edge plasma results into damage of the first wall or divertors. Dense plasma focus (DPF) provides the similar conditions or heat load as that […]

We envision a future where it will be possible to lavish the same attention on individual plants in a large prairie crop farm as one might on those in a backyard garden. As camera sensors shrink in size, and self-driving vehicles continue to improve, such an idea is no longer the realm of science fiction. […]

This project will use ethnographic and community-based participatory research methods to develop a cross-cultural, community-driven ethical model for caribou research, management, and conservation in and around La Ronge, SK. The project will contribute to caribou work already underway between the partner organization, Prince Albert Model Forest (PAMF), and Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB), e.g. […]

Canada possesses vast resources of heavy oil, which is oil that is too thick to flow through porous sandstone reservoirs and into production wells at economic rates when conventional operating practices are used. Since the mid 1980’s, heavy oil operators have demonstrated their ability to increase heavy oil production rates by encouraging the creation of […]

To compare how the two basic application model, namely pure native app and embedded browser app can access NFC, Bluetooth for inter device communication and HTTP (e.g. long polling, comet, websocket) and push protocols for state synchronization. This research will offer a better understanding of the abilities and limitations of using native or embedded browser […]

There is a gap in the research pertaining to Indigenous populations and the inclusion of their art and culture in public space. I became aware of this while serving as a volunteer on the Public Art Advisory Committee for the City of Saskatoon. The literature and policy development falls short in cities across Canada. The […]

This project investigates the use of HTML5 & JavaScript as a means to ensure rich engaging interactions for remote clients that are using low bandwidth connections with high latency and frequent interruptions.

The current project aims to develop a novel energy management strategy for residential heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Controllable wireless air damping vents will adjust the air flow in different zones of the building allowing independent control of the temperature which results in enhanced thermal comfort and energy savings. The intern will collaborate […]

Plant monitoring by sensor devices and cameras contributes to having better environmental conditions for plant growth, irrigation, and productivity. However, transmitting the plant images or sensor data packets in a wide farm is not available over a pre-existing infrastructure network. A Delay Tolerant Network, which may be composed of human-centric devices (also known as a […]

In this project, the intern will have the opportunity to work in Perten Instruments Canada and Carbohydrate Chemistry and Utilization Laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan to use the latest model of Rapid Visco Analyzer 4800 (developed by Perten Instruments) to evaluate the performance of resistant starch. The new instrument has the capability to heat […]
