Marmosets are primates with a brain that has comparable anatomical-functional subdivisions to those of higher primates, including humans. It is thus a valuable model for investigating the neural bases of behaviour and cognition and there has been a substantial increase in marmoset use in translational neuroscience research over the last few years. A comfortable environment […]

Marmosets are a valuable model for investigating the neural bases of behaviour and cognition, and there has been a substantial increase in marmoset use in translational neuroscience research over the last few years. A comfortable environment is critical for marmoset neurophysiological testing. At Rogue Research the fellow will be involved in developing a unique apparatus […]

Walking speed is a fundamental indicator of health status in older adults that can be used for early detection of several chronic illnesses and smartwatches are promising tools for ambulatory measurement of walking speed. To address the problem of walking speed estimation in older adult using a smartwatch, arm swing motion during walking will be […]

Epilepsy affects an estimated 50 million people worldwide. These people can experience unexpected seizures that makes it risky for them to engage in everyday activities like driving and walking. A portable wireless neuromonitoring headset prototype that is worn on the head has been developed by Avertus Inc. to address this issue. The headset is designed […]

Air-core dry-type electrical reactors are integrated into power system infrastructures to limit current and regulate voltage in transmission lines. These reactors, are designed and built to facilitate customer specific requirements using an elementary noise prediction model, which was developed almost 30 years ago. With increasingly stricter noise emission guidelines set by the environmental regulatory bodies, […]

This project will complete a life cycle analysis of the pyrolysis of sewage sludge as an alternative to incineration. Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen into a solid called biochar, a liquid called, bio-oil, and uncondensable gases. The uncondensable gases and bio-oil product can be used as a […]

Probiotics are bacteria that provide health benefits when eaten. However it is difficult to identify which bacteria may have beneficial properties and therefore identification of new probiotics is a time consuming and expensive process. In this project the intern will examine the effect of different potential probiotic bacteria on a specific cell type, the mast […]

One of the major issues facing potash mining in Saskatchewan is the potential for water to enter the mine from water-bearing rocks above mining operations. Rocks near-mine are normally considered dry and low risk. However, under some conditions, in localized areas, there is the potential for unsaturated water to have been introduced into the rock […]

The Canadian paint and coating industry had long established programs to collect residual paint from the household and recycle it into marketable products. By doing so, the industry protects the environment by recycling a significant amount of resources which used to end up in landfills as waste. However, such programs are currently costly for both […]

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a next generation precise positioning technology using GNSS and is expected to be adopted in more and more applications. To date, all PPP systems available on the market are dual-frequency based systems and long positioning convergence time has limited its wide applications. With the progress of the GNSS modernization, triple-frequency […]

Cobalt thin-films have found widespread applications in microelectronics devices; such as liners in copper interconnects, wetting layers, and caps, in addition to applications for magnetic devices and CoSi2 contacts. CVD and ALD techniques are typically used to achieve cobalt films between 2-5 nm thick with excellent conformalities and negligible resistance increase. Leading precursors for cobalt […]
