Cognitive impairment is a debilitating feature of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, substance use disorders (SUD), depression and Alzheimer’s disease. There is a significant need for treatments targeting key cognitive deficits including working memory and behavioral flexibility, and the development of these therapeutics have the potential for broad clinical use in psychiatry. d-Govadine (d-GOV) is […]

During the proposed summer research project, the intern will be working together with researchers from the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine and a Saskatoon-based engineering company, RMD Engineering. The intern will test the initial prototype of a novel cooling boot intended to reduce and maintain hoof temperature below 10oC (continuous digital hypothermia). […]

L’ocre ferreuse est un dépôt visqueux d’hydroxyde ferrique ayant généralement la couleur orange, qui se dépose sur la surface des systèmes de drainage et colmate les drains. La déposition de l’ocre résulte de deux processus, biologique et chimique, qui peuvent se produire seuls ou en concomitance. Compte-tenu de l’importance de cette problématique, l’entreprise Soleno, en […]

These days, there is growing concern about the security of confidential data in organizations. There is no doubt that organizations with high-security measures will witness cyberattacks. Therefore, the question is how we can prepare our infrastructure and cybersecurity team to deal with these challenges. The incidents response playbook is a comprehensive plan which has been […]

Heat stress is a deadly occupational hazard that is projected to increase in severity with global warming. While upper limits for heat stress designed to protect all workers have been recommended by occupational safety institutes for some time, heat stress continues to compromise health and productivity. The continuing detrimental effects of heat stress may be […]

Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One […]

Surfactants are versatile ingredients found in major chemical industries, health care, home care, personal care, pharmaceuticals, medicines, to name just a few. The majority of these commercial sectors, however, utilize chemical surfactants. These fossil-derived surfactants not only consume our planet’s finite oil reserves but also contribute negatively to the health of marine environments in turn […]

Fourien Inc. is developing a diagnostic medical instrument for rapid and low-cost detection of COVID-19 virus using saliva samples from early-stage infections. The custom-built vibrometer instrument will use micro-sensors to detect the RNA of the virus. There is a need to develop optimized and sensitive modules of optics, electronics and mechanics that are critical for […]

Quantum computers encode information with qubits. Unfortunately, qubits are subject to error. Those are physical qubits, and one will need many physical qubits to create an error-free qubit, also called a logical qubit. In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to understand if the error rate of a logical quantum circuit […]

This project will help provide solutions to our client’s problems and the Accounts Payable Intern will be learning about centralizing accounts payable processing and reporting across the enterprise. In addition, this project will support the organization to move towards a paperless processing environment. The intern will get exposure to our accounting systems and will provide […]

Tamarack is deemed as an underutilized species. Recently York North Veneer Products Inc. (YNVP) received an inquiry on use of Tamarack veneer as sheathing materials in construction of light frame walls in Japanese market with an aim to replace Russian larch and Douglas-fir veneer. To meet this demand, YNVP working with UNB’s Wood Science and […]

This project will develop new applications and services for our clients and company and will help develop its software and visual representation, which will lead to providing better services and, of course, generate more sales. There is a need to create a viable sales system and redesign a few virtual showrooms. Having a competitive website, […]
