Modeling NK Cell Toxin Diffusion
(2022-05-27)Natural killer (NK) cells are a key part of the body’s innate immune system, killing cells that have been damaged or stressed by infection and controlling the spread of disease while a slower, more powerful adaptive immune ... -
How do Laser Pointers Damage your Retina?
(2022-05-27)Lasers are devices used for many applications, for instance, in CD burning and reading, to baffle an audience in a light show or to point out details on a projector. The handheld laser or laser pointer is not given much ... -
Optimizing Nitrogen Fertilizer Quantities in Cereal Crop Root Systems to Minimize Leaching
(2022-05-27)Loss of nitrogen due to leaching is one of the most pressing issues in agriculture as it leads to excessive crop production costs and pollution. N leaching contributes to atmospheric and aquatic pollution [1]. The production ... -
Hydrogel Smart Bandage as a Diagnostic Tool for Infection in Burn Wounds
(2022-05-27)Every year, almost half a million people are admitted to the emergency room because of burn wounds. Of the thousands of deaths that result from these wounds, more than half are due to complications from infection. An easy ... -
Victoria’s Secret Problem: Heat Loss in Mastectomy Patients
(2022-05-27)Mastectomies are performed to treat or prevent the risk of breast cancer. Annually, over 100,000 women in the US undergo some form of mastectomy [1]. Approximately 40% of women who undergo mastectomies elect to undergo ... -
Data from: The Role of Background Stress State in Fluid-Induced Aseismic Slip and Dynamic Rupture on a 3-meter Laboratory Fault
(2022-05)These files contain data supporting all results reported in: "The Role of Background Stress State in Fluid-Induced Aseismic Slip and Dynamic Rupture on a 3-meter Laboratory Fault" by Cebry et al., where we found: Fluid ... -
Recombineering for Precise Genome Editing in Shewanella oneidensis
(2022-05-17)With the rapid growth in renewable energy systems to fulfill the increasing global electricity demand, we must establish methods for low-cost and large-scale electrical energy storage. The key to solving our energy storage ... -
Data from: The overlooked role of the stratosphere under a solar constant reduction
(2022-05-11)Modelling experiments reducing surface temperatures via an idealized reduction of the solar constant have often been used as analogues for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), thereby implicitly assuming that solar dimming ... -
Mobility in Post-Pandemic under Social Distancing Guidelines: Congestion, Emission, and Transit Contact Network
(2021-09-30)COVID-19 has raised new challenges for transportation in the post-pandemic era. The social distancing requirement, with the aim of reducing contact risk in public transit, could exacerbate traffic congestion and emissions. ... -
Sustainable and Healthy Communities through Integrating Mobility Simulations in the Urban Design Process
(2021-09-30)A design focused active mobility simulation tool called Urbano.io that facilitates the design of healthy and sustainable urban habitats was developed and validated. This project added the ability to 1) adapt statistical ...
