The goal of this MITACS proposed project is to evaluate the preliminary performance and economics of the carbon dioxide capture technology using recovered waste heat from engine exhaust and utilizing the recovered heat to regenerate solvents in a small-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture project. This is because the regeneration of the solvents requires high energy. […]

Overall project objectives are: 1. Determine what level minimum level of training required for non-accredited personnel to accurately and competently compound prescription medications. This objective will be accomplished through intern participation in formal and informal training, followed by assessment of their skills in real scenarios. Documentation of training methods and possible deficiencies will help in […]

Radium is a radioactive element often found in wastewater from uranium mining and oil and gas industries. One common approach to remove radium from wastewater is to add barium and sulfate to form the mineral barite. The barite traps the radium and can then be disposed of safely. However, chemicals released by decaying plants into […]

This study examines best practices for winter economic opportunities with the desired outcome of increased economic activity during the winter months. This study will employ a social impact lens to evaluate the policies and programs in place which support economic activity in winter in Saskatoon. Adopting a social impact lens allows the research team to […]

This internship conducted in partnership with the Canadian Light Source (CLS) BioXAS Main Spectroscopy beamline (Saskatoon, SK) is a research project to develop and test a procedure to determine the detection limits (lowest analyzable concentrations) for chemical analyses of samples containing three elements of interest (copper, cobalt, and uranium) over a wide range of concentrations. […]

This project is to have a student from the MAP program at the university of Regina support Atare Foods in the production of food related content videography and photography to support the growth of the company’s website and social media platforms.

Ignite Athletics Inc. is the partner organization and works with thousands of athletes every year as Coaches in the strength and conditioning field. The goal of the project is to bring together Engineers, Sports Scientists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches to create a device that can easily measure force-time characteristics in a real-world setting. Collection […]

This project is in response to an immediate market opportunity that shows an increasing demand for pulse-based flours as a substitute for animal protein and or for gluten-free diets. A strong red-orange color in products containing lentil flour is a current market demand. We will establish important characteristics in lentil varieties under field conditions, as […]

This research project aims to program a hand-held spectrometer to identify and analyze gamma radiation peaks emitted from isotopes. Based on the detected peaks, the device will identify the specific isotope from the gamma ray that was emitted. The partner organization will be able to commercialize such a device to be used in different areas […]
