Stakeholders from all business sectors are increasingly looking to businesses to address pressing social and/or environmental issues. Co-operatives are facing the same challenges, and must also use non-financial indicators to demonstrate their co-operative difference. The purpose of this project is to develop a web-based searchable database of existing tools and frameworks to measure social and […]

Patient centred measures can facilitate better health outcomes by focusing on symptoms considered important to the patient themselves. These kinds of measures can prove useful with regard to age-associated health issues such as dementia and frailty. A patient oriented approach can ensure that the patient receives the correct intervention at the appropriate time, and can […]

L’intensification agricole est une des principales menaces qui pèsent sur la biodiversité. Les activités humaines génèrent des polluants qui affectent la santé des écosystèmes. La dangerosité de ces polluants est le plus souvent établie à partir de leurs effets mortels sur les animaux. Or, même exposés à de faibles doses, des effets non létaux liés […]

The benefits of using wood in tall and non-residential construction are undisputed, namely reducing the carbon footprint, shortening construction times, and enhancing seismic and building physics performance. The international market for wood as a structural material in tall and non-residential construction is still relatively untapped. Among the main reasons is the lack of guidelines for […]

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 […]

Electrochemical corrosion is the most common source of plant downtime in the Chemical Processing Industries (CPI); in the Province of Saskatchewan, the Mining Industry plays a very significant role in CPI. Mineral processing plants handle electrolytic and abrasive materials that can cause very significant structural damage due to electrochemical corrosion and wear. The objective of […]

Canada possesses vast resources of heavy oil, which is oil that is too thick to flow through porous sandstone reservoirs and into production wells at economic rates when conventional operating practices are used. Since the mid 1980’s, heavy oil operators have demonstrated their ability to increase heavy oil production rates by encouraging the creation of […]

Invasive species can have major effects on the landscape, but sometimes their effects are assumed to be negative before they are scientifically tested. The common reed is an extremely tall and robust grass that is moving rapidly into wetlands across Canada. Common reed is believed to threaten some reptiles by reducing their access to suitable […]

Environmental assessment (EA) – the federal, provincial and territorial policy planning tool for deciding on industrial developments – is contentious and under review. Despite increased consideration of Indigenous rights and title as part of the EA process, articulation of concerns with decision-making and significance determination is not evident. In the absence of alternatives, EA is […]

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 […]

The objective of this project is to develop an analytics tool for REALPAC to use to better classify buildings using the “20 x ‘15” dataset collected by REALPAC since 2009. Preliminary analysis has been conducted of this data in past years, but this has been limited to a simple retrospective analysis. The tool that will […]
