During a medical imaging exam, patient motion such as breathing, cardiac motion, and random adjustments of the head or body can affect the accuracy of the acquired images. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful medical imaging technology that can detect minute amounts of an injected probe targeting specific tissue processes and diseases. Magnetic resonance […]

Ocean plastics are a growing problem that affects our oceans health and livelihood. A large portion of this ocean plastic is abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG). The project aims to develop new ways to recycle this source of ocean waste and determine product applications for the recycled waste. By evaluating different types of […]

Le projet de stage consiste en la conception et la validation d’un outil pour la génération de coussins thérapeutiques destinés aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Cet outil s’inspirera d’un modèle géométrique personnalisable représentant le fessier d’une personne en position assise. Il sera adapté pour prendre en compte les besoins cliniques relatives à la morphologie des […]

The proposed research will involve studying the carbon footprint (i.e. the carbon emissions) involved in the preparation of magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement materials. MOC cement has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditionally used Portland cement (PC), however many discrepancies arise as there is no work directly comparing their carbon footprints. In […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés, la rareté de la main-d’oeuvre et l’expansion du réseau de vente des entreprises, certains phénomènes économiques, sociaux et environnementaux en place dans des pays contraignent les entreprises à revoir leurs modèles d’affaires et leurs plans de croissance. Afin d’augmenter la compétitivité, d’accroître l’agilité et la réactivité d’une entreprise face à […]

Canada’s marine ecosystems are biologically rich and provide essential goods and services to about seven million people living along the longest coastline in the world. Facing significant challenges to conciliate economic development, human well-being, social equity and ecological stability, Canada developed an ambitious “Blue Economy” framework, in which this project falls. In the face of […]

Le procédé de réhabilitation des chaussées de type retraitement en place avec stabilisation est fort intéressante puisqu’elle permet le réemploi complet des matériaux de chaussée en place, ce qui engendre une économie des ressources naturelles et d’énergie, de même qu’une réduction de la production de déchets CRD. Ce procédé existe depuis longtemps, mais son potentiel […]

McIntosh Sand and Gravel Ltd. (McIntosh) is a Saskatoon based company that performs gravel crushing and processing for industry and municipalities throughout Saskatchewan. McIntosh’s mission is to disrupt the aggregate industry through the application of new technologies that will help decrease costs and streamline processes. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will work with McIntosh to develop a digital […]

Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP)’s Digital Integration Centre of Excellence (DICE) and geological experts at Peter Lucas Project Management Inc. (PL) will collaborate on the development of a digital system to locate aggregate sources with a large gravel content. Gravel is a non-renewable resource that is used in almost every aspect of construction. The identification of sources […]

With the increase in medical misinformation via social media there is an increased need for effective health communication from experts and authorities. In this project, interns will work with health communication professionals at Northern Health Authority to identify how they conduct their work, determine how an information system can be used to help them with […]

Cannabinoids, especially cannabidiol show promise as medicinal agents and are often now proscribed for a variety of indications. One of the major challenges is the lack of a standard dose, and safe ways to ingest. Smoking dried plant material causes harmful particles to enter the lungs, while homemade “edibles” can both vary in their potency […]

In Deep Learning, one of the most important determinants of the performance of a model is the training procedure used. The ideal training method produces a model that is accurate and fast, it should work on models of various sizes and be flexible enough to allow users to specify conditions they want the model to […]
