In this project different UHPC mixes will be proposed and tested for mechanical and physical material properties when subjected to extreme cold temperatures. The mixes which meet the required properties and are most economical will be used for further structural wall panel testing and will be proposed to the company. The proposed concrete mix will […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement de méthodes et stratégies intelligentes pour la gestion énergétique, la recharge et la gestion thermique pour les véhicules sport récréatifs ou véhicules tout terrain VTT. Le projet cherche entre autres à améliorer les performances du système et à faciliter la transition des véhicules actuellement propulsés par moteurs à combustion […]

Cognitive impairment is a debilitating feature of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, substance use disorders (SUD), depression and Alzheimer’s disease. There is a significant need for treatments targeting key cognitive deficits including working memory and behavioral flexibility, and the development of these therapeutics have the potential for broad clinical use in psychiatry. d-Govadine (d-GOV) is […]

The proposed research project, undertaken by the intern, is devoted to the modeling of currency trading markets and their derivatives in Markov-modulated environment and possible creation proprietary algorithm trading software for this case with EUR/USD as a trading model. The research covered by these activities will include the development of the domestic and foreign equity […]

Wearable medical devices (SWDs) are emerging as powerful patient monitoring and data collections tools. These smart, multiplexed devices allow us to quantify dynamic biological signals in real time through highly sensitive and miniaturized biosensors. SWDs can enable monitoring at risk patients at home, diagnosing early disease progression, and reducing healthcare expenditures by means of prediction […]

Ports play a pivotal role in the operations of global supply chains but face critical challenges such as increased congestion in cargo flows and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. A promising solution avenue is a better integration of port operations with land-based transportation networks, especially rail transportation. Such endeavour requires advanced operations management of port capacity […]

Ce projet de recherche est intimement lié à la diversification de la technologie de recyclage de Polystyvert, afin de s’étendre à d’autres plastiques de la famille du polystyrène, comme l’ABS. Durant ce procédé, le plastique contaminé provenant du consommateur est mis au contact d’un solvant qui a pour but de le solubiliser, puis d’un autre, […]

The use of aerial drone sensing (remote piloted aerial surveillance) technologies has greatly expanded over the last decade into the agriculture/forestry, construction, mining, engineering/surveying, and public safety sectors. One such area of growth has been in the detection and assessment of plant condition and health in the agriculture and forestry industries. The use of this […]

The most popular type of 3D printing globally uses plastic filament. Historically, this has been done with only one plastic at a time. 3D printers can now use multiple materials and/or colors to be part of a single print. Unfortunately, today multi-material 3D printing results in a lost of waste plastic and the associated environmental […]

During the proposed summer research project, the intern will be working together with researchers from the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine and a Saskatoon-based engineering company, RMD Engineering. The intern will test the initial prototype of a novel cooling boot intended to reduce and maintain hoof temperature below 10oC (continuous digital hypothermia). […]

Taking a restorative approach to sport reimagines how we can respond to the crisis of maltreatment in sport and athletes experiencing harm. This project will be an extension of restorative justice work on going in Nova Scotia which sees justice as concerned with securing and sustaining just relations. A restorative approach to justice supports responses […]

Energy collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale is called renewable energy. One of the most reliable sources of renewable energy is the wind energy. Using wind to produce energy has less environmental impacts than other energy sources. In other words, wind turbines do not produce emission that can pollute […]
