This research project has two goals. The first goal is to design and test software that will automatically transcribe 9-1-1 emergency calls and interpret their meaning with respect to the central facts of an emergency (who, where, and what occurred) as well as possibly when, why, and how the emergency occurred. The second goal is […]

Research has confirmed the lethal effects of the COVID-19 virus on the cardiac function, and thus the proposed research will investigate the use of heart imaging data during a hospital intervention can help us understand what happens to those with both COVID-19 and a heart attack. This research is being conducted using a multi-centre approach […]

This research project will be conducted through internship research by students in the Master in Northern Governance and Development (MNGD). The MNGD is a project-based, interdisciplinary program meant to build capacity among northerners in northern Saskatchewan through a blended delivery model including face-to-face, videoconferencing, online and international field school instruction. The 2013-2014 internship research project […]

This project investigates the cost effectiveness of applying product line techniques to the development of the common elements of certain types of video games. Approximately ten games will be analyzed to identify those parts that are used by most of the games. Those commonly used parts will then be re-engineered to make them more generic […]

Human-caused bruises, tail lesions caused by tail biting, ear lesions, among other things, in slaughter pigs are detrimental to animal welfare, a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, and a source of public concern. Animal-based indicators of welfare are quantifiable characteristics on the animal that are reflective of what the animal has experienced. The evaluation […]

Disruptive antenna technologies are required to provide performance and fabrication advantages in developing broadband wireless application products in emerging upper microwave and millimeterwave radio bands. The internship will investigate the feasibility of applying Polymer-based Dielectric Resonator Antenna (PRA), technology developed at the University of Saskatchewan, to commercial antenna array applications.

The next generation neutrino experiments like Hyper-Kamiokande will have statistical power, but the presence of detector systematics will limit the discovery potential of the experiments. The uncertainties due to construction tolerances, support frame shift from PMT buoyancy, and the source deployment system, combined with uncertainties in PMT angular response, and position-dependent water quality, can limit […]

Rural homelessness in Canada is still an ongoing problem that the country is trying to address. Most of Canada’s indigenous families in remote communities are living in substandard housing that needs major repairs. 3D printing of cementitious material to digitally construct building structures has already gained considerable attention from both the public and private sectors. […]

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 […]

Cubresa is building the BrainPET, the world’s first commercial brain-dedicated positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The BrainPET will give doctors and scientists a powerful tool to visualize the human brain with near-unparalleled resolution and sensitivity, providing a clear picture of the interconnectedness of structure/function in this complex organ. This […]

On Cue Performance Hub (OCPH) emerged in 2019 as a grassroots initiative to address challenges facing Regina artists trying to earn a living through their creative practice — even before COVID emerged. During the pandemic, retention of artists and earning a living wage in the performing arts has transitioned from a problem to a crisis. […]

Stormwater outfalls are point sources containing various pollutants from urban environments that are often discharged directly into rivers. Previous research at University of Saskatchewan showed considerable concentrations of 2-anilo-5-[(4-methylpentan-2- yl)amino]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6PPD-quinone), a tire rubber-derived compound, in Saskatoon’s stormwater. 6PPD-quinone is an emerging pollutant of concern that is highly toxic to fish. Adsorption is a promising […]
