- The research, which was funded by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) and presented at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ earlier this month, outlines a multitude of challenges posed by wildfires, including short- and long-term effects on the availability and quality of drinking water sources used by major metropolitan areas such as Denver, Colorado. The report also outlines potential remediation solutions to help utilities plan for worst-case scenarios.
- Developed by the CyberSafety Research Center, the new method combines several different computing tools to scan massive amounts of social media data, sending alerts to parents or network administrators that abuse has occurred.
- There are nearly 100 nuclear power plants across the United States, all of which rely on concrete containment vessels (NCVS) to provide the last layer of safety in case of accident.Some of these vessels exhibit serious signs of aging associated with
- Over the last two years, Assistant Professor Khurram Afridi and his team in electrical, computer and energy engineering have developed a proof of concept for wireless power transfer that transfers electrical energy through electric fields at very high frequencies.
- The engineering design competition enlists university teams from across the nation to develop creative solutions to some of the agency’s most relevant challenges.
- Two papers published by the ATLAS Iron Lab, directed by Dan Szafir, for the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction in Chicago open the door to this promising area of research.
- Host Ken McConnellogue talks with Professor Robert Erickson about what this MOOC has to offer learners across the globe, as well as how it is making us rethink how people learn. He also chats with Michael Lightner, vice president of academic affairs, about the positive impact MOOCs offer learners and the university.
