Rendever is a virtual reality system that has been designed for these purposes and is […]

The research project proposed will be used to improve the financial feasibility of an urban agricultural greenhouse. The first objective of this project is to create a business model that will supplement revenue to a greenhouse by offering mental health services. The second objective of this project is to test and assess the performance of […]

This research attempts to find the best 3D printing technology and 3D printing material (filament) that matches with a local urban community’s demand for customized interior design solutions, including furniture, tailored walls, personalized partitions, lamps and decorative elements. By investigating proper hardware and technology for public use, this research will foster the culture of creativity […]

Research continues to suggest that there is a strong association between literacy and health. Health literacy requires writing and reading skills, as well as general health knowledge. Unfortunately, printed patient education materials are often written at higher reading levels with technical and/or dense texts that are not easily understood by people with low literacy levels. […]

In 2012, wind energy in Canada grew by nearly 20% and wind is expected to supply 20% of Canada’s electricity by 2025. Accurate measurement of the wind resource is essential for future wind energy development but current wind resource assessment practices do not adequately measure atmospheric turbulence or stability. These variables affect average windn speeds, […]

Tooth wear is an irreversible loss of the enamel, which over time, leads to the exposure of the dentine and this makes the tooth very sensitive to hot or cold foods. The choice of food of the person suffering from severe tooth becomes very limited and this sometimes threatens the survival of the individual. Our […]

Project Justification Research and analysis into the reception of visual distortion correction as a tool for image optimization for moderate to severe stage AMD patients with central vision loss allowing them to see better images. Project Objective and Scope Research and design a study protocol to either prove or disprove the hypothesis that correcting distortion […]

This project studies network capacity and throughput for newly emerging MSGN infrastructure including mesh planning strategies and how the number of hops and end-devices affects the overall throughput. The work includes developing the analytical framework, and confirmation through simulation and physical experiment, of proof-of-concepts in the smart utility lab IPv6 RF mesh test bed. During […]

Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]
