The proposed project aims to develop a reproducible recipe for producing concrete augers that meet current expectations for wear performance and longevity. The project involves structural characterization of the hard matrix, particularly, the distribution and morphology of martensite, and the hardening particles, including various carbides embedded in such matrix. The hardness of different regions will […]

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) could potentially increase the efficiency of construction projects and profitability. However, 3DCP typically mixes contain high volume of paste which implies high volume of binder. The expeditious development of 3DCP requires exploring other prospective and sustainable mixes besides the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based mixes to meet the high-volume […]

Phytochemicals including vitamins, carotenoids and phenolic compounds have been widely accepted as the functional substances that make cereal grain health beneficial. Increasing evidence has shown the relation between these antioxidant phytochemicals and reduced risks of oxidative-stress related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. Among these cereal grains, rice is of critical […]

Fireweed Food Co-op (FFC) is a non-profit multi-stakeholder co-operative based in Winnipeg, Manitoba that facilitates the connection between food producers and customers as a distributor. A continual challenge for growth in the co-op is to acquire more funding from government and organizational grants. Communicaiton and messaging are key components in acquiring that funding, however, demonstrating […]

The current project aims to look at Indigenous women’s experiences seeking help for intimate partner violence (IPV) in crisis and second-stage women’s shelters. Resolve’s previous study demonstrates that rural women, including rural Indigenous women, experience a lack and a shortage of IPV-related services (Kardashevskaya et al., 2022). In addition, services may not be culturally safe […]

Line-commutated Converters (LCC) have been used for over half a century due to their robustness as well as high power capacity. However, they can face challenges from voltage and frequency disturbances in the case of terminating in a very weak ac network. Such systems use synchronous condensers (SCs) to provide voltage and frequency support at […]

The project will investigate the use of non-linear optimization and heuristic methods such as Genetic algorithms to determine the parameters of commercial induction motors from available manufacturer data. The developed model will be simulated using electromagnetic transients simulation programs. A suitable objective function will be developed which penalizes deviation off the simulation results from manufacturers’ […]

Makoon Transition is a not-for-profit organization, with partnership from the U of W Inner City Studies work study, students placed at Makoon are able to partake in a variety of social services assignments. This can range from family support, client intake and clan wellness. Aimed to help Indigenous families successfully exit the CFS system.
