GPU based High Throughput Sequence Mapping for Re-Sequencing Short Reads

The throughput of next-gen sequencers is about 20 to 90 million base pairs per hour and increasing. To map this huge volume of data to reference genome and reduce the computation time, current mapping tools are installed on the clusters. Although using a cluster reduces the computation time but the...

Development and application of the simulated earthworm gut (SEG) technology for soil toxicity testing

Contaminants can become “trapped” in soil over time because of various chemical and biological processes. Trapped contaminants do not cause toxic effects in plants and soil animals even if it is detectible by chemical methods. Therefore, soil contaminant concentration can exceed established safety standards but represent minimal risk to soil...

Detection of Unexploded Ordnances: Magnetostriction due to Shock Demagnetization

Detection of unexploded ordnances (UXO), or munitions, has many humanitarian benefits. In order to uncover and remove them from an area, their magnetic properties are exploited using a technique to detect them called magnetometry. In order to separate the hazardous UXO from other harmless debris, the proposed project with Sky...
