Comprehensive analysis of the production of green hydrogen from selected biomass (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) resources for assessment of the economic viability of the process.

This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis to investigate the optimum process parameters for generating green hydrogen from waste materials (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) and to assess the economic viability of the process. The use of the selected biomass as feedstock would provide a clearer scientific understanding of green […]

Evaluation of the Corrosion Tendency of a Novel of 2-amino 2-methyl propanol (AMP) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine (1-(2-HE) PRLD) Blend used for CO2 Capture from Industrial Exhaust Gases in a Commercial CO2 Capture Plant

This projects aims to evaluate the corrosion rate of carbon steel in a 2:2 molar ratio (4M total molar concentration) of AMP: 1-(2-HE) PRLD environment as a function of absorber/desorber temperature, O2 concentration in the flue gas, and CO2 loading. This evaluation is to ensure that this novel amine blend can be used reliably with […]

Development and Validation of a Deep Learning-Based Infrared Thermography Model for Detection and Differentiation of Thyroid Nodules

Patients referred for thyroid nodule (TN) assessment will be invited to participate in the study. Patients will undergo screening using infrared thermography (IT) and ultrasound (US) with needle insertion. Neck IT thermograms will be captured using the FLIR TS865 for all patients’ frontal and lateral norms. With the IT camera software, the regions of interest […]

Technician Tracking Aid for customer task scheduling

This project will enable customers to be able to track their scheduled jobs with technicians on their mobile devices. The work will see the development of an application that can facilitate customers to view the locations of technicians on a map and scheduled appointments with them. The technicians can set their status as “available” and […]

Modeling and Simulation of Novel Bioplastics Materials with Natural Fibers

This collaborative project, involving the University of Saskatchewan and Université de Lorraine in France, seeks to advance our understanding of bioplastics—environmentally-friendly materials made by combining polymers with natural fibers like flax or hemp. Our aim is to develop models that can predict how these materials behave under different conditions. By studying the small-scale structures of […]

Relentless support: Defining a Métis career development model

The Gabriel Dumont Institute Training & Employment (GDITE) project aims to formalize its innovative “Relentless Support” career development model, which focuses on Métis strengths, community-based development, and cultural alignment. Unlike traditional, individualistic career development models, GDITE’s approach emphasizes reciprocity, joy, and long-term local workforce sustainability. This project will document the fluidity and success of the […]

Misty plasma as a pathway to nano-structured materials

Droplet-containing plasma discharges (so-called “misty plasmas”) provide an exciting new route to the deposition of technologically important nano-structured and nano-composite thin films. These films have many potential applications in important technology sectors. The aim of this project is to study the plasma response to the injection of nanoparticle-containing microdroplets, and to correlate the evolution of […]

Use of encapsulated tryptophan to improve outcomes in health-challenged piglets

Previous research has demonstrated that provision of key functional amino acids (methionine, threonine, and tryptophan) have positive benefits on health and performance of pigs. Additional benefits may be achieved by targeted delivery of some amino acids, namely tryptophan, to specific sections of the gut. For example, encapsulation of amino acids prevents their absorption in the […]

Use of fibre to improve outcomes in health-challenged piglets fed high indigestible protein

Major dietary components have been shown to affect gut health and performance of pigs, including fibre and protein. While protein has been implicated in the development of pathogen-associated post-weaning diarrhea, low dietary protein diets are inconsistent in mitigating the negative effects of protein content. The indigestible protein fraction may be more relevant. Dietary fibre has […]

Employment Impacts of Mining in Northern Saskatchewan

This research estimates the employment impacts of a new mine proposed for northern Saskatchewan. We estimate the direct, indirect, and induced employment effects of the proposed mine. Using publically available data, the research shows how a direct investment in a mine creates jobs all along its supply chain. This indirect employment is expected to be […]
