Robust Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Short T2 Tissues – Part 2

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imagig modality which can visualize the internal structure of the human body and is free of radiation. In this project, we would like to write a multi-functional and robust MRI software package using ultrashort echo time (UTE) technique to realize the imaging of the tissues, such as tendons, ligaments […]

Improving Outcomes for Children with Fetal AlcoholSpectrum Disorder in Care

Working with the FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan (the Network), the research project will involve a process and impact evaluation of the Improving Outcomes for Children with FASD in Foster Care training. This training is mandatory for all Saskatchewan foster families and optional for adoptive parents. The overarching goal of the training is to increase […]

The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation in older adults

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supplementation with bovine colostrum, in combination with an 8-week (1 hour, 3 times per week) resistance or weight-training program, on lean tissue (muscle) mass, strength, inflammation, bone resorption, and cognitive function in men and women 50 years and older. Bovine colostrum is the initial […]

Upgrading Locally Available Sanitizer Ingredients for Health Services in Canada

In response to COVID-19 in Canada, demand for sanitizer products has increased dramatically. Health Canada has relaxed guidelines for sanitizers meant for consumers and maintained the regulation for medical grade ethanol in healthcare settings. In response to the increased demand and relaxed guidelines, organizations in the ethanol supply chain have been producing sanitizer products. The […]

Design, Development, and Control of the Battery Management Systems (BMS) for Off-road Vehicles Built by Dumur Industries

The objective is to design, develop, and test the power system in a next-generation rough-terrain utility vehicle developed by Dumur Industries, with particular focus on the battery used and its own power management system. The vehicle propulsion is via tank-type tracks that transmit power from the front to the back wheels via continuous chain-type tracks. […]

Validation Techniques for an Application Program Interface for Artificial Intelligence Agents Operating on an Internet of Things

This research project will aid in the creation of safe networks of wireless devices, such as security cameras. Computer software using artificial intelligence will watch the networks for problems with the devices or misuses of the networks. In particular, this project will discover ways to ensure that the networks are compatible with the right kind […]

A rational data-driven probabilistic approach for assessing the condition and performance of RC structures

A variety of alternative strategies have been developed for increasing the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. An optimum design or repair strategy requires not only an estimate of upfront costs, but also the means to compare all associated costs against the potential extension to the life of the structure. Unfortunately, […]

Using Food Bank Client Data to Better Understand the Impacts of COVID-19 in Saskatoon

The SFBLC has been collecting detailed information on their clients and their socio-demographic and economics characteristics for more than five years. However, apart from collating overall summary numbers on things like user counts, which they report annually to Food Banks Canada, they largely lack the internal capacity to do a detailed analysis of this data […]

Develop a web based geospatial artificial intelligence framework to track, visualize, analyze, model, and predict infectious disease spread in real-time.

As location is an integral part of both population and individual health, there is an emerging role for geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) technology in health and healthcare. Novel infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are associated with population density, environmental factors, and interactions between humans and wildlife. GeoAI technology can be used to collect and analyze […]

Radiation Mapping from Aerial Data

The proposed project is focused on the development of software for accurate mapping of radiation levels on the ground using aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for data collection. The problem of accurate radiation mapping is crucial for handling emergency radiological incidents (e.g., on nuclear plants), monitoring national borders, operating nuclear mine sites, etc. The […]
