Recent research has confirmed the lethal ‘acute’ effects of the COVID-19 virus on the heart, but there is a growing concern and increasing number of those individuals infected by the virus to remain ‘chronic’ as long-haulers, i.e., Long COVID. There are estimates that as many as 40-60% of individuals infected continue to experience symptoms for […]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants that occur in various chemical forms across the terrestrial and marine environments and have long been of the subject of intense research worldwide due to their highly toxic properties. PAHs are uptaken by bio-organisms and activated to electrophilic metabolites to exert their toxic effects. Meanwhile, different toxicity of […]

This project will produce a useful simulation of a 5G mmWave Cell site. This simulation will allow the Industrial Partner to evaluate and optimize the operation of a typical 5G Cell site. The simulation will model a 5G phased array antenna connected to a Base Station which will be able to create focused beam radiation […]

The objective of this project is to estimate grizzly bear abundance and distribution in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut by combining Inuit traditional knowledge about grizzly bears with genetic data already collected by the Government of Nunavut. Working with the communities of Arviat and Baker Lake, we will use both pre-existing interview recordings and new […]

Canola is an important oilseed crop grown across Saskatchewan for its high quality oil. Canola has a very distinct reproductive stage due to its yellow color flowers. Therefore canola fields can be very clearly identified when observed through satellites with medium resolution. This leads to numerous potential applications, and one such application is in-season canola […]

This research will explore how nutrients from cattle manure moves through aquatic ecosystems in a Saskatchewan agricultural landscape. Cattle with access to the banks of water ways have the ability to alter the health of water ways and the plants, bugs, and fish that inhabit them. Indicators of ecosystem health such as water quality, algae […]

Since 1960, System engineering has been used as an approach for multidisciplinary and concurrent design of complex systems. It relies on a system-centered thinking to solve problems and different design process models have been used for system engineering such as V-model. Model-based System engineering (MBSE) was developed to replace documents with models. AIS is developing […]

Mining induced stress in the area around tunnel openings represents a major design consideration in today’s potash mines. The actual induced stress is currently monitored using an array of techniques derived from the hard rock mining industry, one of the key assumptions being linear-elastic deformation behaviour of the rock. When using these methods in an […]

Most Canadian poultry originate at commercial hatcheries. Recently hatcheries have had concerns about chick welfare brought to their attention. Very little research has been performed that looks at the welfare of chicks at the hatchery or during transport to farm. During the proposed research project, the intern will look at three events that happen to […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. Furthermore, lack of employment means individuals lose out on a myriad of mental, emotional, and physiological benefits that are generated through work. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis, where personal distancing and […]

By helping Cadence to digitize the final document process, the intern will contribute to making it easier for Canadians to complete the administrative tasks that come after the death of a loved one. The digital, ‘tell-us-once’ approach will allow users to complete the required paperwork quickly and entirely online, permitting them to grieve wholeheartedly, maintain […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas. All of the complex […]
