Many babies die within the first month of life from infectious diseases. Despite successful neonatal vaccination programs, it is not yet possible to accurately predict if a vaccine will work on a newborn child, at the individual “personalized” level. We need to better understand the mechanism of antibody generation after vaccination to improve immunization programs. […]

This research project will contribute to the work of the Rosetown Regional Family and Community Support Services, Inc. (RRFCSS) in completing a comprehensive community assessment for Rosetown, Saskatchewan. This community assessment will provide information to the organization that will assist with priority planning and decision making. The primary aims of the community assessment are to […]

Les biofilms sont associés à 75% des infections bactériennes humaines. L’accumulation de bactéries s’adhérant aux surfaces peut devenir une problématique importante dans le domaine médical, notamment lors de l’implantation de dispositifs médicaux comme les sondes urinaires ou la transfusion de produits sanguins. Un nouveau revêtement pouvant être appliqué en fine couche à la surface des […]

Many mobile devices that are used in an enterprise are considered mission critical as they are heavily relied upon, allowing a worker to do their job. Locating these devices anywhere and anytime becomes that much more important, especially if they become lost or stolen. SOTI’s technology leverages GPS on a device to track its location […]

The global population is rising, generating a need to produce more food to feed the world. Along with climate change, the food crops across the world are facing growing challenges from pests, pathogens and viruses that attack and destroy crops. In Canada, we export more than $7 billion worth of wheat every year. The Terramera-led […]

The shortage of healthcare personnel is a prevalent problem, primarily due to the substantial workloads caused by the novel Coronavirus strain. Moreover, due to the overwhelming and extremely dynamic situation in the healthcare industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, staff scheduling becomes very crucial. This research project in collaboration with the MeshAI.io platform intends to […]

La plupart des centrales hydro-électriques de grande envergure du Canada ont été construites il y a environ 50 ans. Durant les prochaines années, plusieurs d’entre-elles devront être modernisées avec des technologies beaucoup plus avancées qu’à l’époque. Pour tirer profit de ces nouvelles capacités de communication et de contrôle, le recours à des simulations numériques validées […]

Our project aims to design and develop COVID19 vaccines engineered from viruses that infect bacterial cells only. SARS-CoV2 pathogenic components have been identified and modified to develop the vaccine. Although these components are pathogenic in nature, they are modified to pose no harm. The vaccine is designed to be administered intranasally, where it relocates to […]

The current project aims to examine the knowledgebase of both teaching candidate (pre-service) and in-service teachers in 21st century competencies of digital literacy and computational thinking. Additionally, this project seeks to understand how these competencies may be incorporated into faculty of education training programs for teaching candidates. The intern will design, administer, and analyze surveys […]

A significant part of people’s self-concept, who and what they think about themselves and who they are, is based on the groups and organizations they consider themselves part of, including their workplace. People who identify with their workplace are more committed to and satisfied with their jobs, and are less likely to leave. When a […]

Fitness apps are widespread, used by professionals and casual users alike. Existing apps only give examples, they don’t correct. The proposed research closes this feedback loop by using the video camera on mobile phones as an analysis tool to judge and correct the execution of common gym exercises. This is particularly important for weight lifting, […]

Researchers found that inappropriate antibiotic usage is widely spread (documented in 20-50% prescriptions in hospitals around the world). Optimizing usage of Antibiotics in clinical environment is a critical public health issue. All stakeholders including healthcare professionals, patients, healthcare providers, hospital administrators, and policy makers should work together to implement effective strategies for optimizing antibiotic use.
