Gas transport in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is of increasing interest since low gas crossover is desired in the membrane, however high gas transport is desired in the catalyst layer where ionomer is present (and is typically similar in chemical structure to the membrane). This project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and […]

Gluten-related disorders include a variety of clinical entities triggered by the ingestion of gluten containing cereals. The best characterized condition is celiac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy occurring in genetically susceptible individuals. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or non-coeliac wheat sensitivity (NCGS/ NCWS) is a clinical descriptor of patients, in whom celiac disease and wheat allergy have been […]

Patient centred measures can facilitate better health outcomes by focusing on symptoms considered important to the patient themselves. These kinds of measures can prove useful with regard to age-associated health issues such as dementia and frailty. A patient oriented approach can ensure that the patient receives the correct intervention at the appropriate time, and can […]

The benefits of using wood in tall and non-residential construction are undisputed, namely reducing the carbon footprint, shortening construction times, and enhancing seismic and building physics performance. The international market for wood as a structural material in tall and non-residential construction is still relatively untapped. Among the main reasons is the lack of guidelines for […]

Marmosets are primates with a brain that has comparable anatomical-functional subdivisions to those of higher primates, including humans. It is thus a valuable model for investigating the neural bases of behaviour and cognition and there has been a substantial increase in marmoset use in translational neuroscience research over the last few years. A comfortable environment […]

Marmosets are a valuable model for investigating the neural bases of behaviour and cognition, and there has been a substantial increase in marmoset use in translational neuroscience research over the last few years. A comfortable environment is critical for marmoset neurophysiological testing. At Rogue Research the fellow will be involved in developing a unique apparatus […]

Electrochemical corrosion is the most common source of plant downtime in the Chemical Processing Industries (CPI); in the Province of Saskatchewan, the Mining Industry plays a very significant role in CPI. Mineral processing plants handle electrolytic and abrasive materials that can cause very significant structural damage due to electrochemical corrosion and wear. The objective of […]

Pork producers in Canada are in the process of transitioning from stall housing to group housing systems for gestating sows. The greatest concern with this change is the problem of aggression when pregnant sows are mixed. Mixing frequently results in aggressive interactions among sows, and can affect reproduction and cause welfare problems. Typically sows are […]

The practice of mixing sows shortly after breeding (MPI) is a practical approach for loose housing that is gaining popularity in commercial herds. However, the effects of dynamic grouping (in which newly bred sows are moved into an already established gestation group) in conjunction with MPI may result in stress during the implantation period, and […]

Canada is amid an opioid epidemic, with regional and federal governments declaring opioid use, overdose, and related harms a public health emergency. Drug-related overdose mortality in British Columbia reached a record high in 2016, with over 900 deaths. In response, novel overdose prevention interventions (OPI) are now being implemented, including: overdose prevention sites in which […]

Canada is amid an opioid epidemic, with governments declaring overdose public health emergency. Drug-related overdose mortality in British Columbia reached a record high in 2017, with over 1400 deaths. In response, novel overdose prevention interventions (OPI) have been implemented, including: overdose prevention sites in which people can inject drugs under supervision; and, naloxone training and […]

Manual welding is a highly demanding task which requires extensive expertise for certain applications such as pipe welding. To facilitate the welding process, increase productivity, and decrease welder’s required level of skill, Novarc Technologies has designed and manufactured a collaborative Spool Welding Robot (SWR) equipped with a laser assistant weld path tracking. Our proposed research […]
