Current challenges, like climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought new awareness to how we consume, produce, and distribute food. In Saskatchewan, climate change is already impacting the quality and quantity of southern water supplies and strategies used for hunting, gathering, and fishing in northern areas. Amidst these challenges, this project examines whether local […]

In the framework of this project, it is aimed to develop a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Since its pathology is complex, application of the conventional antibiotics is not much efficient therefore it is defined as a difficult-to-treat disease. To overcome those challenges encountered in the usage of conventional therapeutic approaches, […]

The objective of this project is to help analyze nutrition data of select ingredients and define how processing methodologies affect nutrition composition.

The project focuses on conducting macro research on the Agtech, Clean-Tech and North American Venture Capital landscape with the goal of providing private capital to fund Canadian Agtech and agribusiness innovation. We believe some of the futures best agricultural and agribusiness companies are being built right here in Canada and Saskatchewan! Emmertech was built by […]

The Environmental Advisory Committee has been conducting environmental sampling since 2008 in response to degrading water quality in a recreational lake setting. All indications point to cultural eutrophication (i.e. nutrient pollution) owing to shoreline development, boat traffic, use of fertilizers and leaky septic systems. During the past five years, the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) has […]

The new Canada’s Food Guide has created controversies about milk and alternatives consumption by removing it as a stand-alone food group. Recent evidence shows an inverse relationship between consumption of dairy products and risk of osteoporosis. However, evidence on the association between milk and dairy consumption and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have provided […]

In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

Recent estimates of agricultural land on the Canadian prairies suggest that 1 million ha are affected by moderate to severe soil salinity. These areas are not suitable for seeding annual grain crops. Perennial forages have the potential to remediate saline soils through salt ion uptake, lowering the water table, improved soil biological activity, and weed […]

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

A multi-party live video communication, such as live tutorials and fitness classes, are an emerging application which involves a large number of users from different places with heterogeneous network conditions like 3G/4G/5G or Wi-Fi networks. Video Content/Service providers usually deploy their Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) over the public Internet to avoid expenses of dedicated connectivity. […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. The […]
