The proposed research focuses on the development of biocarbon materials from waste spent clay and soapstocks from vegetable oil processing. The biocarbon will be used as the filler in developing rubber composite material as a potential substitution for carbon black produced from petroleum sources. The intern will work with the team of graduate students and […]

The objective of a fusion device is to confine a plasma and heat it to a temperative high enough for its ions to gain sufficient energy to overcome their mutually repulsive force and fuse. Fusion neutrons will provide a heat souce that’s used to generate electricity in a steam cycle. Fusion power is environmentally friendly […]

Dental caries can increase in severity if left untreated and result in deep carious lesions. Repairing these deep carious lesions routinely involves pulp capping, a procedure during which the tooth pulp can be accidentally exposed, allowing bacteria to enter the pulp and cause infection. Pulp capping failure rates are high, and retreatment may involve root […]

The Saskatoon Soccer Centre has formed a committee called the “SK Soccer Legacy Project.” The committee exists to create a living, breathing, organic preservation of the history of Saskatoon soccer of past, present and future generations. The Saskatoon Soccer Centre Inc. is partnering with the University of Saskatchewan History Department’s CoLab – Centre for Community-Engaged […]

One-third of the world’s demand for potash is being supplied by Saskatchewan. The potash mining industry is thus a core element driving rapid economic development in the province. However, potash mining operations generate a substantial volume of highly saline mine wastewater. There are strong demands for mitigating the salinity of potash mine water in Saskatchewan. […]

The principal objective of this proposal is to discover novel drugs to treat colon cancers. Currently colon cancer is a huge medical problem and there are many disadvantages to current drug therapies. These disadvantages include their ineffectiveness to completely eradicate cancers, causing toxic side effects and the development of multidrug resistance. A group of compounds […]

Feminization of agriculture is occurring in China through the rural-urban migration of labor, predominantly men. This phenomenon raises the question: Does women’s increasing participation in farming affect their capacity and power in decision-making regarding agricultural production and their rural livelihood? While little research has been done to address this issue due to the measurement challenges, […]

In recent years, the advancement of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized technology and the way we use and interact with things online. The technology promises to transform how we interact with services, communicate with people, and find data most useful to us. The project focuses on software development to further develop an existing software involved in […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision-making are finding widespread applications in various sectors, and pig production is no exception. In this fast-evolving landscape, there is a need to assess which areas would benefit the most from AI and to evaluate their impact on productivity and sustainability of the Canadian swine industry. There is also a […]

This research aims to advance the field of federated learning by addressing privacy, domain shifts, and personalization challenges, particularly in the context of mobile and digital healthcare. By developing robust and scalable solutions, the proposed framework has the potential to significantly enhance patient care, diagnostics, and personalized treatment while maintaining stringent privacy standards
