This is primary research, using the data that is at this point available but not organised by the partnership organization. It will benefit the partnership organization in giving it an overall, […]

Human activity near lakes can have a profound impact on the state of the lake. When nutrient-rich pollution enters the lake it can cause toxic algal blooms, decreased oxygen levels, a loss of diversity, fish kills and degradation of water quality. Aquatic plants may limit nutrients in run-off from entering the main lake. Aquatic plants […]

We propose the development of novel statistical methods to improve upon detection of normal and abnormal behaviours in industrial sensors. The ability to detect subtle changes in sensor performance in a wide range of operational conditions has significant potential for MineSense Technologies Ltd., which operates sensors in challenging conditions. It can be very difficult to […]

The goal of this research is to investigate the extension of upscaling and multiscale methods and their application to efficiently simulate (frequency-dependent and time-dependent) electromagnetic fields in geophysical scenarios that include metallic-cased boreholes and fractures filled with conductive/resistive fluids. Simulating this type of geophysical settings is quite challenging because they consider highly heterogeneous media and […]

This project involves the audio and visual recording of interviews with past and present athletes, coaches, and administrators of the varsity athletic program in London and the surrounding areas in Ontario. The over arching objective of the project is to create an ongoing database of stories to supplment the active archival research already taking place […]

The integration of significant capacities of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as renewable wind and solar generation for a more sustainable energy future creates several challenges to the reliable and efficient operation of power distribution systems. These include: (i) Uncertain and intermittent nature of renewable generation compromises power quality for end-customers. (ii) Up-to-date distribution system […]

The Marquardt Group at the University of Windsor intends to better understand the stability and degradation of Catalent’s vitamin A soft gel supplement, including the effect of various antioxidants on the degradation. Catalent is one of the largest suppliers of Vitamin A palmitate capsules to Nutrition International (previously Micronutrient Initiative), which is an organization aimed […]

Drawing from immigrants? and service providers? experiences, the current project will explore what type of programming for immigrants is best suited to be delivered through universal (non-targeted programming), targeted (programming specifically for immigrants), or mixed services, so that these programs are most effective and well-utilized. This project involves a partnership between the United Way of […]

TechnipFMC is a global leader in subsea, onshore, offshore, and surface technologies. They use innovative technologies to help their clients develop their oil and gas resources. The purpose of this project is to research and evaluate two new technologies to determine the best fit for deploying the technology in TechnipFMC’s operational environment.

Thales développe un logiciel pouvant ordonnancer les activités de remise en état d’une flotte des navires militaires. Ce logiciel possède donc un ordonnanceur capable de positionner sur une ligne du temps les différentes tâches à accomplir. L’ordonnancement produit doit tenir compte de la disponibilité des ressources (main-d’oeuvre, équipements, espaces de travail) tout en minimisant les […]

Different groups of people like to find and use different kinds of information. This is true of First Nations as their information and knowledge needs extend beyond the walls of libraries or archives and into museums and the communities themselves. The collaboration between tribal and nontribal Archives can be mutually beneficial but first it is […]
