This research project involves developing strategies and actionable recommendations to support the partner organization in transitioning its client base. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the company aims to work with medium and large enterprises and organizations.

The aim of this study is to develop novel biolubricants based on complex esters for non-internal combustion engine applications, and the main task of this project include synthesis and characterization of complex esters derived biolubricants. vegetable oils cannot be used directly as lubricants due to some performance limitations such as thermal and oxidative stability. In […]

In a seminal paper, Juslin and Västfjäll (2008) propose that visual imagery—i.e. experiencing images such as landscapes, people or abstract shapes in one’s mind’s eye—is one of several mechanisms by which music induces emotions in the listener. This claim is supported by evidence showing that 77% of a representative sample report having experienced visual imagery […]

Project involves data gathering and collection, analysis and subsequently using the results to devise an appropriate business model to sustain and scale up a new digital technology-smart phone enabled visual inspection with acetic acid (SEVIA). This technology was developed for the purpose of preventive screening of cervical cancer in women in low resource settings.

This project will apply business concepts, technique and theories to the real-world. It will support Pisces RPM with business development initiatives such as, proposal writing, project management support, and engaging with current and potential clients. Given that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected women in every workforce across every sector, it is more important than ever to […]
