In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two Master’s students to advance and apply methods for modelling climate policies in transport, a field in which START in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research teams in the country and in which Navius […]

La maladie d’Alzheimer et autres troubles apparentés sont en augmentation notamment en raison du vieillissement de la population. Les adultes et les aînés éprouvent des craintes face à la survenue de ceux-ci. Bien que le contrôle de facteurs de risques modifiables pourrait prévenir jusqu’à 40% de ceux-ci, une majorité d’adultes et d’aînés croient que seulement […]

The proposed research aims to develop a paradigm shift whereas the selection of materials containing resistance genes and QTL for soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and white mould WM) resistance by marker-assisted selection (MAS) applied on the F4 single plants. The University of Guelph uses a nursery in Costa Rica, Central America, to advance breeding materials […]

Market approval of generic products requires that such products are shown to have equivalent safety and efficacy as the innovator product currently on the market. In general, generic topical dermatological products require comparative clinical trials in patients which require a large number of patients, are expensive and lengthy. This has led to a shortage of […]

Impacts of increased wildfires and wildfire intensity have impacts that go beyond the initial devastation often shown on the news. Wildfire recovery is a long, difficult, and multi-faceted undertaking, especially within the context of a changing climate. This project is intended to better understand the impacts of wildfire on invasive and native (culturally important) plants. […]

Recent estimates of agricultural land on the Canadian prairies suggest that 1 million ha are affected by moderate to severe soil salinity. These areas are not suitable for seeding annual grain crops. Perennial forages have the potential to remediate saline soils through salt ion uptake, lowering the water table, improved soil biological activity, and weed […]

This research project will be focused on the development of a new software technology in order to model and map maximum solar energy potential on the rooftops and facades of buildings with high spatiotemporal resolution, with particular emphasis on optimal community design for smart net-zero energy solar communities. The goal of this project is to […]

A central venous access device (CVAD) is a thin, silicone tube that a doctor may insert into the vein of a patient to deliver medications directly into their bloodstream. If the patient does not need constant medication, nurses fill the CVAD with salt water or citrate to keep the tube open. This is called ‘locking’ […]

Poor water-solubility limits the total use of the drug in the human body of many recently discovered drugs. Recently, Amorphous Solid Dispersion (ASD) technique is being used as an efficient way to enhance solubility of poorly soluble drugs which are prevalent in pharmaceutical industry while providing sustained release, however the instability of ASD may cause […]

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

The intern is expected to develop a pipeline for training large machine learning models on drug-like molecules to learn a broad understanding of biochemistry. This pipeline involves developing a model that can learn on many biological and quantum mechanical tasks concurrently while evaluating and improving the structure of the model using low-cost approaches from recent […]
