The main objective of this research is to calculate Control performance standards in an interconnected power system without running the time domain simulation. Using a faster approach which requires probability distribution of load change. PSCAD and PSSE simulation tools will be used to carry out the research. System identification technique will be used to estimate […]

(UAV) and a network of ground/aerial control stations for long range communications to connect various remote places of Northern Canada. The main goal of this project is to design, test and implement a robust communication subsystem for such a vehicle to maintain a long range communication with a required data throughput. Most of the civilian […]

This project proposal describes a new approach for the design, implementation, and testing of a robust flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as a hexcopter. The motivation for this work is driven by the limitations of the current commercial controllers (e.g., the difficulty to deal with variable payloads and challenging environments). This […]

With the increased global protein demand, it is necessary to effectively utilize protein extracted from plants, particularly with limited uses, which has poor digestibility and techno-functional properties. Therefore, the proposed project will aim at developing novel protein ingredients from alternative plant proteins with improved techno-functional properties using innovative, sustainable, nonthermal clean processing technology, thereby improving […]

This project will demonstrate how the ability to host overnight guests in rural hotels, as well as host events within these communities, truly impacts local economic revenue. By conducting key informant interviews with hotel staff and community/ event organizations, alongside written surveys with hotel guests, this project will highlight the importance of including accommodations with […]

This research project will look at new ways to better understand and evaluate a person’s creditworthiness using advanced computer techniques. Traditionally, when banks or lenders decide if someone can be trusted with a loan, they look at specific numbers and data. However, there’s a lot of information in written reports that these traditional methods might […]

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are proposed to improve existing training methods of machine operations and maintenance. It can reduce the need of the physical equipment to get hands on experience. Virtual models of machines are built to perform all the tasks as required in the real life such as troubleshoot different […]

Fusarium fungi infestation causes Canadian grain producers a loss of almost $1 billion dollars per year. Fusarium fungi produce toxins, e.g., deoxynivalenol (DON) which cause toxic effects in animals and possibly humans. We will develop a portable hand-held hyperspectral imaging device to detect, in the field, Fusarium infestation in grains. We will also evaluate the […]

The proposed project is to develop a market viable insect pests detection in stored grains system based on the interns novel active microwave sensing technique. This proposal seeks to build upon optimizing the sensing capabilities of the prototype and to coherently develop a functional array of sensors. Building upon these fundamentals the project will extend […]

Over the years, edible mushrooms have gained increasing recognition for their nutritional value and the potent medicinal properties they offer. Bioactive compounds found in mushrooms, particularly phenolic compounds, exhibit valuable qualities such as anti-proliferative and antioxidant properties. Surprisingly, until now, there has been no investigation into the potential antioxidant effectiveness of Chaga mushrooms of different […]

Tech companies must regularly use expensive bench-top instrumentation to test the devices and systems they bring to market by making accurate input-output measurements of the attenuation and time-delay of RF/MW energy when it propagates through, or across, their devices or systems of concern. When the system being measured becomes very large, such as when one […]
