The main scope of this paper is about the applications of wavelet transform (WT) on power engineering research. This review paper deals with the summary of applications of WT to different power system problems including transmission line faults detection, power quality issues, power forecasting, power measurements and power system stability. Different types of wavelet are used for the solution of various power engineering issues, and the selection of suitable wavelet for specific problems is also discussed in this paper with the support of literature.

Until 1900, Canada had no foresters involved in logging, practising forestry or doing research. Forest engineering as a discipline held no importance whatsoever. The forest was simply exploited for its timbers and most of the forest products were sold abroad. During the next 50 years, four Canadian universities opened forestry schools, some research activities were organized by the federal government, provincial governments, and industry. However, the importance of forest engineering did not grow much. Since 1950, however, the situation was turned around completely, as was the industry. While forest operations were completely mechanised everywhere in Canada with machines or concepts often developed in the USA or in Scandinavia, more forestry schools were opened, the federal government opened forest research laboratories, provincial governments acquired more expertise in this field, and forestry equipment manufacturers did considerable development work. A national forest engineering research institute was even created. In the future, the forest community will have to team up to raise the profile of forest engineering. Key words: co-operation, forest engineering, forestry, forestry education, forestry research, sustainable management

For two decades, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has had two programmes to sponsor industry/university centres: the Industry/University Cooperative Research (IUCRC) Program and the Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Program. To date, over 70 IUCRC centres have been started by NSF, and over 25 ERC centres have been started. NSF also has a programme to encourage industry/university partnerships on individual projects. From these and other programmes, many lessons have been learned for encouraging productive industry/university/government research partnerships. This article generalizes lessons about appropriate partnerships.
