In pulp and paper mills, efficient techniques are required to remove accumulating solid suspensions in order to optimize raw material usage and closing up water systems due to environmental regulations. As a novel approach to solid removal, an ultrasonic method to clarify a white-water stream appears promising. For white-water stream clarification, the idea is to […]

Three of Saskatchewan’s bat species roost in trees and migrate long distances annually: hoary bats, eastern red bats and silver-haired bats. Migratory bats are facing a variety of threats, such as habitat loss, climate change, pesticide use, and fatalities at wind energy facilities. Large numbers of bat fatalities have been recorded at wind energy facilities […]

The proposed research aims to find a solution to the connectivity of the massive number of devices that are essential for the monitoring and regulation of power generation and demands in power grids. Power grids present specific challenges that the intern will take into consideration and seek to propose solutions to the connectivity and security […]

While drone technologies currently are a very fast-growing market, recent incidents, including mid-air collision with aircraft and obvious risks for people and property when out of control, forced the government of Canada to adopt strong measures to ground all Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of more than 250 grams. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is now […]

This project will support efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from coal-fired power generation. In this case, the greenhouse gas of interest is carbon dioxide which is captured at SaskPower’s Boundary Dam Power Station near Estevan, Saskatchewan. This carbon dioxide is transported to the nearby Aquistore site, where it is injected into porous sandstone […]

The current land registry system in Ontario lacks efficiency and transparency; and is susceptible to information quality problems due to lack of a uniform and integrated system to record and share real-time data about land property transactions across stakeholder organizations. To overcome such issues, many countries are turning to blockchain technology to enable land registration […]

Managing daily life can be overwhelming when living with low income, mental illness, addiction, and social isolation/discrimination. When crises occur, intergenerational cycles of trauma can result. Social support and strength can be found in families and support systems, but these are often not ideal. This research project will result in a measurement of resiliency in […]

La transition des PME vers la quatrième révolution industrielle est un projet pertinent et de grande envergure pour se développer et performer. Ce nouvel âge industriel est caractérisé par la fusion des technologies dans le processus de production permettant aux manufacturiers de rendre leur usine intelligente qui livre des livrables « produits et services » […]

Communities in Northern Saskatchewan have overwhelming epidemic rates of suicide. This loss is compounded by the unresolved grief and inter-generational trauma associated with the legacy of residential schools. There is a clear connection between high suicide rates and the historical trauma experienced by Indigenous people. Mental health services for Indigenous youth in rural and remote […]

L’histoire et la dynamique des forêts en lien avec les incendies restent mal connues au Bas-Saint-Laurent. Les feux naturels sont relativement rares dans la région. Toutefois, l’omniprésence du peuplier faux-tremble semble étroitement associée à l’occurrence de feux récents, liés aux activités humaines. La FER de Macpès représente un terrain d’étude stratégique puisqu’une grande partie de […]

This study will focus on an alternative remote sensing method for crop long-term biomass monitoring and prediction of final yield using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based 3D point cloud data in Southwestern Ontario. Currently, biomass and yield are estimated from statistical and crop growth models. However, statistical models are only applicable for specific area or […]

Electrocardiography or ECG is a technology that can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over a long period of time. Such signals can be utilized for interpreting both the structure and function of the heart. Traditional ECG designs consist of several electrodes that need to be placed directly in contact with […]
