Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Empathy is important to therapeutic relationships and patient-centred care where patients’ preferences and needs are met. We have developed a web browser app called In Your Shoes (IYS) that runs on any browser and has potential to provide empathy training experiences in any situation requiring perceptual understanding of what others are thinking and feeling. The […]

Transformers are one of the key elements in electric power systems whose health ensures reliable, stable electric power for the economy and society. Partial discharge (PD) is known to be a symptom of defects in electrical insulation systems, such as those employed in transformers. Detection and localization of PD in transformers are critical to develop […]

In partnership with ZenfriInc, this project seeks tofacilitate the successful introductionof a mobile game called Clandestine Anomalyto the mobile game market. Due to the embryonic stage of the mobile game market this research will use primary and secondary research methods to create a market analysis and inform the market strategy. Firstly, this research will provide […]

Infrastructure facilities in Canada and many other places worldwide continuously deteriorate. Most structures either reached or exceeded their design service life. Bridges, buildings, roads, and other facilities deteriorate over time. To ensure the safety of these structures, visual inspections are routinely carried out by trained engineers. However, these visual inspections have some critical disadvantages, such […]

Due to modification ease, cost, and time-saving benefits, computational-based methods through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software programs is the main approach besides physical testing (accelerated durability laboratory test, in-service drive tests) for evaluating the life of welded structures in several industries. Based on guaranteed functionality, integrity, and life cycle robustness requirements in […]

We propose to develop computer vision technologies for recognizing 3D environment for augmented reality (AR) mobile games. Given an image/video taken captured a mobile device (e.g. iPad), we would like to be able to recognize some useful information about the 3D environment of the game player. For example, one of our goals is to recognize […]

The City of Saskatoon and the Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba, is collaborating in an innovation and development project to enhance Saskatoon city’s Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives addressing systemic barriers. This one-year business strategy development project will engage senior City officials, community leaders and PhD student interns in knowledge mobilization (KMb) workshops […]

Distribution of elite germplasm is currently achieved through the transport of gilts and boars by toad or plane. The practice is associated with an increased biosecurity risk and has animal welfare concerns. The transport of the same elite genetics through embryos offers significant advantages: biosecurity is more secure and there are no animal welfare risks […]

The general objective of this project is to ensure that the development cycles for the ongoing ARF project are reliable and will focus on areas of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Automated testing evaluating and using tools such as Cypress or Enzyme and increasing observability of the solution by exploring tools like AWS XRay […]

Access to breast cancer screening is limited in rural populations and developing countries, resulting in increased mortality rates for women. Microwave based breast cancer detection is a safer and less costly approach to early breast cancer detection. Building on our experience in experimental microwave radar-based breast imaging research we are developing and testing a portable […]

Churchill is experiencing different types of challenges. Because of the remoteness of this place, the communication and transportation systems are very costly and challenging. Managing municipal solid waste manage is another emerging problem for Churchill community. The current waste management system in the town of Churchill is very costly, and environmentally unfriendly. Town of Churchill […]
