This proposal details an approach for evaluating a planned project led by SII called Participatory Cities: a new inclusive, system-based approach to stimulating and supporting dense networks of practical ‘participation culture’ in cities around the world. With proof of concept developed and tested in London, UK, by the Participatory City Foundation, the model will now […]

Development of selective drug delivery agents that target tumor cells with minimal toxicity to normal tissues is a major challenge in cancer therapy. Non-toxic bacteria can be used to target solid tumors because, within a patient’s body, they can only be active at a tumor site (where oxygen levels are pathologically low). Prior attempts at […]

Textile industry has been revolutionized over the years with inventions and creative innovations on fabrics to improve performance, comfort and durability. Developing such high performance and durable textiles without compromising human safety is a major challenge. This project will investigate the interactions between fabric systems with human skin and major skin colonizing bacteria. In addition, […]

Working in partnership with MEG Energy Ltd, the Applied Research Group in Natural Resource Technology at Saskatchewan Polytechnic will examine biochar’s role in revitalizing stockpiled soils by conducting a three-year assessment of black spruce growth and survival on a disturbed borrow pit site. Biochar is highly regarded for its ability to increase soil productivity due […]

The project focuses on developing a software program for creating audiovisual interactive digital art works able to blend and manipulate sound, text and images for the purposes of artistic installation, performance visuals, networked art, and creative sharing. While there are numerous companies who have developed creative software platforms, there is currently nothing available which minimizes […]

LeddarTech, acteur de premier plan des solutions de détection environnementale pour les véhicules autonomes et les systèmes avancés d’aide à la conduite, propose l’utilisation d’un capteur Lidar (i.e., Pixell) conjointement avec d’autres capteurs (caméras optique, Radar, IMU, etc.). Le but de ce stage serait donc de vérifier (1) l’intérêt de l’utilisation du capteur Lidar pour […]

Dans un monde de plus en plus connecté, les stations de ski en Amérique du Nord et à travers le monde désirent s’impliquer davantage auprès de leur clientèle pendant qu’elle est sur les pentes où dans leurs infrastructures. Favoriser l’expérience de ski et améliorer les revenus connexes sont deux motivations importantes dans le contexte actuel […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans la grande famille des projets de systèmes de recommandation, où un algorithme doit recommander aux utilisateurs des produits ou des documents qui seraient intéressants pour eux, basé sur ce que nous connaissons de l’utilisateur et sur sa session de recherche actuelle. Coveo a déjà des modèles de recommandation en place, dans […]

Automation of processes is becoming more popular within logistics and material handling industries. As the amount of transferred objects grows there is a continuously increasing need for high efficiency, reduce cost, and of course reliability. With this project, we are utilizing the latest machine learning technology to improve the automation rate to a new level. […]

Data has been recognized as one of the most valuable assets of modern business. The capacity to gather, store, analyze and interpret data in great quantities can determine to a large degree the ability of a company to achieve goals and adapt to largely volatile environments. This is especially true for financial institutions where data […]

This research project will organize and develop museum exhibits for a virtual Manitoba Oil Museum, using materials collected over the years by the museum as well as the dissemination of a PhD thesis on the Place of Oil in Manitoba. There is very little information in Manitoba broadly about the oil extraction that has been […]

Academic journals rarely feature research-creation projects: as such, they are often limited by conventions inherited from print publishing. Recent efforts to create digital and/or online journals can potentially result in new publishing opportunities for scholars and artists. This project will examine how international online f journals in art history, visual studies, and film and media […]
