Web based application framework is a popular topic for solving mobile development on different type of devices. This project aims to compare popular web based application frameworks, and their performance in native APIs in large amount of data storage, NFC, Bluetooth for inter device communication and HTTP (e.g. long polling, comet, websocket) and push protocols […]

Natural Canadian zeolite is an attractive mineral for the restoration of lands disturbed by the extraction of natural resources such as metals, oil and gas. Dr. Wonjae Chang’s Environmental Engineering Lab developed a dualmineral prototype, using Canadian zeolites, for the desalination of potash brine-impacted water. Dr. Chang also demonstrated the significant accumulation of residual potassium […]

Precision agriculture practices increase productivity while rationalizing farm inputs. It mitigates the adverse impacts of chemical inputs on the environment. The variable rate is one of the commonly used precision agriculture practices where inputs are applied based on site-specific needs. CropPro Consulting uses soil properties like electrical conductivity, topography, and water flow patterns to generate […]

The intern will enhance the functionality of a hand-held gamma spectrometer produced by Environmental Instrument Canada (EIC). In order to improve the performance of the spectrometer, the control board will be switched to a higher spec microcontroller, and the firmware source code will be re-written from interpreted Javascript to C code. New functionality, including energy […]

This project will work to better understand record keeping adoption on Canadian farms and ranches. Farmers and ranchers use production and financial records for a number of reasons: to identify trends in production and areas for improvement; to measure financial performance at the whole-farm, business unit (animals, land, profit and cost centres) and individual animal […]

Beer has been brewed since the dawn of civilization and is composed of only 4 simple ingredients: hops, water, toasted barley (called malt) and yeast. Yeast are the factories that convert chemicals in the starting materials to ethanol and flavors. Not all yeast are the same; over the millennia selection of specific yeast strains for […]

The build-up and transport of contaminants in aquifer systems occurs through a variety of processes. The leaching of contaminants from industrial waste and debris in landfill sites during rainfall events represents a source of water borne contaminants which threaten ground and surface aquifers. This internship research involves the design ofnanofiltration media and involves studies of […]

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine communication and information technology functions to the physical components of a system for purposes of monitoring, controlling, and automation. The power grid is becoming one of the largest CPS, where grid components are controlled based on the synergies in the cyberspace. CPS hold a great promise to improve the efficiency and […]

As the mobile landscape continues to grow and diverge, there is the need to start looking for innovative ways to facilitate the Business-to-Business (B2B) use of mobile devices to support cloud hosted enterprise data. For most enterprises, the bigger hurdle is how to support the enterprise system access from the mobile while ensuring business continuity […]

Proper education and training are necessary to ensure young drivers have the appropriate knowledge and skills to drive safely. The current Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) graduated licensing program has education components and some in-car practice sessions, however, data shows that many young drivers are still involved in accidents due to a lack of experience driving […]

VeriGrain is in the agricultural automated sampling and data management business. By providing representative sampling of the harvested grain provides the grain characteristics for maximum profit, helps to determine the risk of spoilage and helps farmers eliminate downgraded and rejected loads of grain at the terminal. Currently the samples are taken at the farm and […]

This research project will enable Krate Distributed Information Systems Inc. (Krate) to provide two software as a service (SaaS) cloud products that will integrate with the distributed computer platform of fellow startup Distributed Compute Labs (DCL) to aid COVID-19 researchers. DCL’s distributed computer is in use by scientists and researchers across Canada (this company’s product […]
