The University of Saskatchewan (academic supervisor Dr. S. Achenbach), the Canadian Light Source (partner organization science manager Dr. F. He, SyLMAND beamline responsible Dr. T. Morhart), and intern L. Newman engage in a project to innovate microfabrication processes for microfluidic platforms used in chemical and biological reaction chemistry. In such systems, detection and imaging are […]

In cases of reversible inflammation due to dental caries, direct pulp-capping therapies are an attempt to keep the tooth vital. Cell-homing regenerative therapies have been investigated in order to develop new biomaterials for a more successful treatment. Our scaffolds based on chitosan and minerals shows good in vitro results in terms of regenerating mineralized tissues, […]

Teeth loss significantly impacts the quality of life of over 700 million individuals and is commonly addressed with implant-supported prostheses. Dental implants face biological and microbiological challenges, leading to potential infectious diseases and implant loss. Proteins from blood and saliva adhere to implant surfaces, influencing subsequent biological interactions crucial for implant success. These proteins quality […]

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious food.” The SFBLC currently offers […]

Loin pain-hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is a rare human disease with a reported prevalence of 12 per 100,000. It is predominantly observed in women with the age at symptom onset ranging from the first to sixth decade of life, with most patients being in their late 20s or early 30s. The characteristic features of LPHS are […]

This project proposes a comprehensive analysis of the impact of environmental stress on Antarctic fish, utilizing an integrated approach that combines biophysical and genomic analyses to study adaptation mechanisms. By integrating disciplines, including physics and biology, this research aims to enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes and adaptation strategies of organisms in extreme environments, such […]

A multidisciplinary study for the utilization of artificial intelligence for sustainable energy production in Saskatchewan Province is proposed. In this research, the Artificial Intelligence for Energy Team of the University of Regina will use AI technology to various sustainable energy resources, which including to empower the field of nuclear energy by optimizing the reactor design […]

Dissolvable Fertilizers are an agricultural innovation with slow and controlled fertilizer release. This technology is posed to reduce application costs and lead to optimized nutrient uptake by plants. Furthermore, it promises to reduce the agricultural, carbon footprint, as the frequency and amount of fertilizer applied is decreased resulting in less environmental pollution from nutrient loss. […]

To feed the globally increasing population and increasing costs of producing food, this project seeks to use artificial intelligence to develop an app to assist in sustainable agriculture management. By monitoring soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate and crop type, a machine learning algorithm will link the farming action (application of fertilizer, flood irrigation and other) […]

This research project has two goals. The first goal is to design and test software that will analyze the content of transcribed 9-1-1 emergency calls. We will use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform an evaluation of the operator performance during the 9-1-1 call and generate an evaluation form in the […]

Growing beef for consumption requires a high-energy diet. Fat is 2.25 times more energy dense than carbohydrates. To increase the energy in the diet, feedlot nutritionists will add high-fat ingredients to the diet. In western Canada, these sources were traditionally tallow, corn oil, or yellow grease, but byproducts from the ethanol and oilseed industries offer […]

With this project, we aim to understand better what we can do to improve our product and customer experience to drive higher customer loyalty. Phase 1 of this project will be to survey existing and churned customers to understand what they like, what they dislike, and what they would improve about our product. We will […]
