Multi-device adaptive multimedia communications

PPLCONNECT believes that users should be able to continue their conversations cross-device. Today the user is forced to have multiple identities for the various types of calling services, like VoIP, their Landline and their mobile number. Using the cloud to build a virtual Smartphone PPLCONNECT helps centralize for the user, one place to access and use their real-time communications information. In addition, with the research complete by this project PPLCONNECT will not only let the user be able to centralize these various communications channels for calling in one place PPLCONNECT will also be able to help decide for the users what is the best way to communicate based on Cost, Quality and available network.

An application for patient decision aid for musculoskeletal injuries in Mild Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder in which the blood flow is impaired from clotting. If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury. The primary goal of our work is to enable patients with the condition to make effective decisions when injuries occur. For instance, our proposed application will aid the patient to seek either immediate attention from a healthcare provider if the injury is a major one. Moreover, if the injury is not severe, then the patient will be guided to perform some activities that will lead to other decisions as to whether the patient is well or needs some self-assessment. This research puts the partner organization in a strategic position to broaden out their campaigns and services to persons with the condition of mild hemophilia

Modeling and Simulation of an aircraft environmental control system (part of the Integrated Cabin Comfort Analytical Tool)

Among the different sub-systems in an aircraft, the environmental control system is the one responsible for the control of temperature, pressure and humidity in the cabin and is crucial to passenger comfort. This system has around 40 components including heat exchangers, compressors, and turbines. Recirculation at different levels complexifies the modeling and simulation of such a system. The importance of modeling this system lies in the fact that one has to verify that the cabin comfort is assured under various operating conditions. Since it is not possible to have test flights under all these flight conditions, it is better is ensure feasibility by doing extensive simulations. Also, once predictive capability of the model is established, one should be able to predict outcome of certain changes in the system, like changing one valve by another or increasing the capacity of the compressor. Then, this model could become a part of the design process – eventually a design tool – helping the engineering design group to perform its core task of designing the aircraft control system.

Fouling of polymer membranes used in cross-flow energy exchanger cores by aerosol nanoparticles

Fresh air ventilation is necessary to create a healthy indoor living environment. It involves removing stale, moist indoor air and replacing it with fresh outside air. However, energy required for cooling and dehumidifying fresh air accounts for a significant portion (20–40%) of the total energy use in air conditioning. Thus, ‘recycling’ the energy (i.e. heat and moisture recovery) used to condition the indoor air is necessary. Among various technologies for recovering heat and moisture, membranebased Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is a promising alternative. Recent work has been conducted on developing high efficiency membranes and novel configurations to improve the performance of these systems. However, there is no report demonstrating long-term performance of these systems under real field working conditions, more specifically, the effect of depositing aerosol nanoparticles on the water vapor transport membranes of interest for HVAC applications. This research will provide experimental data that will be used to properly design and specify energy exchanger systems filtration and cleaning for particular applications. dPoint can gain a competitive advantage by providing clients with more fouling-resistant membrane materials and ERV core design data for fouled conditions

Developing New Strategies to Evaluate Capital Construction Project Planning

Construction companies spend significant amounts of resources on front end planning (FEP). The potential to obtain substantial benefits from a strategic implementation of front end planning practices across an entire portfolio have made the evaluation of FEP an important issue for both project leaders and scholars. The opportunity now exists to mine the constituent elements of the index based on historical project data sets to develop methods for planning proactive strategies in capital projects execution. The main objective of this proposal is the development of a new statistical analysis method for examining FEP data to streamline and monitor project resources throughout the project lifecycle. This method would be more broadly applicable for use with further discoveries such as operational excellence management, where health and safety risk reporting is a constant challenge for capital projects.

UV Based Intervention Strategies to Improve the Microbiological Safety and Shelf-life of Sliced Mushrooms

Sliced mushrooms have occasionally been recalled due to the recovery of Listeria monocytogenes from sampled product. As a consequence there is a need to introduce technologies that can reduce the risk of carriage of Listeria on sliced mushrooms. Due to the sensitive nature of mushrooms there are relatively few options in terms of decontamination technologies. Washing tends to result in hydration of mushrooms leading to premature spoilage and hence aqueous free methods are required. The approach in the current study will be to apply Advanced Oxidative Process that is essentially the generation of an oxidative burst of radicals from the UV decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The method has been demonstrated to work on a lab scale and the project aims to developed large units that are compatible with commercial scale production. Moreover it will be essential to demonstrate that Listeria can be inactivated without negative effects on the sensory characteristics of the mushrooms. The project brings together academia, mushroom growers and engineers.

Musical Culture & Pedagogy: A Study of Middle School Students in Chongqing

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the music education provided for Chinese students between the ages of eleven to fourteen, and how these students are engaging with music in their culture. By using firsthand observation of classrooms, schools, and public venues in Chongqing, the researchers will collect and organize data regarding the music curriculum, availability and condition of musical instruments, teaching techniques and philosophies, and the prevalence of music in students’ daily lives. It is expected that this observational research will reveal some notable differences in music education and music pervasiveness for students in China, as compared to what is common in Canada. Ideally, observations of key distinctions of Chinese music education and the surrounding music culture (as it relates to senior elementary students) will offer insight into improving the quality of teaching music in Canada.

Narratives of Canadian Teacher Candidates’ Cross-cultural Experience in China

This study will explore narrative perspectives from Canadian teacher candidates’ cross-cultural experience in Chongqing, China from March 2015 to June 2015, and will be built on participant experiences during the Teacher Education Reciprocal Learning Program between University of Windsor and Southwest University China. Inquiries into the Canadian students’ learning trip in China will discover how they respond and react, their personal and professional beliefs, whether they go through any struggles and tensions, how they cope with and grow out of those struggles and tensions and what they have gained from this learning trip. With a focus on the Canadian student teachers’ personal and professional significance of cross-cultural knowledge and understanding and a narrative inquiry approach, student participants will might reveal their changing cross-cultural outlooks and increasing global perspectives throughout this study trip. Their personal beliefs with multi-cultural and inclusive notions which may be accompanied by cross-cultural struggles and tensions between Canada and China are expected to show in this research.

Classroom Management: Decoding the Strategies of Chinese Elementary Teachers

This research aims to answer the question: What classroom management strategies do Chinese elementary teachers use in order to obtain student attention? Chinese classroom sizes are much larger than traditional Canadian classrooms, so how do teachers control such great amounts of students? During a three-month stay in Chongqing, China qualitative research methods will be utilized to collect data. Naturalistic observation will be conducted and field notes will be analyzed in order to decode classroom management strategies. Ultimately, these data will be compared to Canadian classroom management strategies and the findings could foster a much improved learning environment here at home.

Comparing Teacher Focused and Inquiry Based Learning Across Cultures

This study involves a comparison of cross cultural observations of students in grade 3 and 4 level in Chongqing, China and Windsor, Ontario. The effectiveness of inquiry based learning during reading and writing activities during Language Arts lessons will be assessed through a daily data entry of what strategy is more effective. First, it is teacher focused, where the teacher makes a lesson, plans it and stays within specific guidelines, and the second method called inquiry based, where the teacher deviates from the lesson, depending on where the students want to go, and what questions arise. The data can help Canada to see different strategies for a lesson and to allow for deeper consideration of traditional teaching.
