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 […]

Four research interns will be supported by four arts funders, five universities and four arts and culture organizations, which will come together under the leadership of Mass Culture to see how the arts and culture sector impacts society today. Together, we will look at ways to strengthen community ties and foster shared social values through […]

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 […]

This project represents the next innovative leap by the TerraByte research group at UWinnipeg and the Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (EMILI). The focus main thrust of this work is to generate data that will enable machine learning approaches to digital agricultural applications. The data generated from this project includes multispectral, hyperspectral, and 3D […]

Tile drainage is becoming popular as a way to control excess moisture in the field to increase productivity. Yet, the economic return on investment (ROI) on installing tile drainage is not known in Manitoba. This research will allow us to assess the impact of water management through controlled drainage on yield. Detailed water table depth […]

Travel Manitoba and media promoted the Pinawa Channel Float as a summer tourist destination in 2020 during COVID-19, resulting in more tourists visiting the area. One thousand tourists visited during the week, and up to two thousand during the weekends (Pinawa Proposal to Manitoba Infrastructure, 2020).
