Built upon our successful pilot projects, the goal of this project is to investigate the effect of transcranial alternative current stimulation (tACS) paired with cognitive exercises in a placebo-controlled study on individuals with dementia, and develop novel technologies to monitor its effects and also predict a patient’s response to a treatment at baseline. This project […]

Winnipeg’s inner city is home to low-income Indigenous, Black and people of colour communities that have long struggled with homelessness, poverty and the ongoing impacts of colonialism (CCPA-MB and CCEDNet, 2015; Silver, 2016). These challenges are now compounded by high COVID-19 rates and COVID-19-related barriers to accessing basic needs (CCPA-MB, 2020). Community-based organizations in the […]

In May 2021, the total market capitalization of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) exceeded $2.4 Trillion (USD), tripling in the past 3 years. Yet, digital assets are widely misunderstood even by experienced investors, primarily because the technologies empowering digital assets are new and are rapidly evolving.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with a reduced quality of life and an increased risk of kidney failure, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. The goal of this project is to investigate whether the consumption of resistant potato starch (RPS) in addition to current standard care for CKD will reduce uremic toxins and symptoms by […]

We are creating a powerful tool for improvements in surgeries of the brain and spine. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine will be used inside operating rooms so patients undergoing surgery can be imaged in the middle of the surgery for quality control. For instance, surgeons can obtain an MRI to ensure the entire […]

In this project, the intern (Dr. Dong-Jin Lee; Postdoctoral Fellow) will work at the University of Saskatchewan and at the R&D facility of our industry partners ? Pulse Crops (Canada) Association and PerkinElmer Health Sciences Canada Inc. ? to control the milling processes of selected Canadian pulse and cereal crops to prepare “fine”, “medium”, and […]

Generation and transmission of ultra-large amounts of energy from renewable resources, such as wind and solar PV power, is on the rise globally. This has unprecedented implication on the operation of modern power systems, including challenges with the natural intermittency of renewables resources, stability, and security of the system following naturally occurring abnormalities. This project […]

The waste generated in Rosenort and Lowe Farm communities is being unprofessionally disposed in disposal sites. The leachate produced from the waste is also being pumped into the surrounding grasslands and contaminate soil and groundwater. Hazardous waste and used oil are not properly stored, and there is a large volume of waste and mixed materials […]

The two most common tick species in Manitoba are the American dog tick and the blacklegged tick. American dog ticks can infect cattle with a bacterium that causes bovine anaplasmosis, a blood-borne disease that can severely affect animal health and production. Blacklegged ticks can transmit several tick-borne infections like Lyme disease, granulocytic anaplasmosis, and babesiosis […]

Dynamic pricing models create price by assessing total cost, demand, and timing to customize the price to the moment. The models enable both buyers and sellers to settle a price that is very custom to their specific needs. Bison Transport Inc. has a network model that monitors profit and a pricing engine that monitors margin. […]

As lunar exploration is ramping up, resources present on the Moon are valuable and the distribution of these resources will directly affect future human surface operations. Water ice and other volatiles will be a key factor in surface operations so small rover prospecting missions to identify these resources are essential. In order for such focused […]
