Cura Therapeutics is developing innovative immunotherapies to cure solid malignancies and infectious diseases. Cura Therapeutics immunotherapy platform simultaneously activates the immune response against cancer while disrupting the tumor blood supply. These immunotherapies also induce an immunological memory that prevent cancer recurrence. Currently, there are no treatments on the market or in clinical trials that combine […]

Geothermal energy is a promising source of renewable energy and is gradually gaining attention in application in building heating and cooling system. Standing column wells (SCW) are an efficient way of harnessing geothermal energy for such building applications. However, currently rule-based controllers are used for these geothermal heating-cooling systems with simplifying assumptions to avoid the […]

Campylobacter bacteria are the leading cause of human gastrointestinal diseases globally and have been frequently identified from raw poultry products. Campylobacter is prevalent in the entire poultry processing facility. Food packaging is one of the last steps in food processing to ensure that the food products are contained and delivered in the best condition. Selective […]

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives under the other, host large earthquakes. Recently, scientists detected faint tremors coming from deep parts of subduction zones and termed them as deep tremor and slow slip. These tremors were accompanied by a minor land shift toward the ocean. These signals appear to be revealing deep, slow, silent […]

This Ph.D. study will focus on simulating and validating soil flow behavior models using numerical terramechanics for three distinct applications of soil flow behaviors from operations of construction equipment: hauling loose material (wheel loader), excavation of soil (backhoe loader/excavator) and pushing large quantities of soil (bulldozer). Numerical terramechanics models will be compared with DEM models […]

The project is aimed at exploring how the assembly of bacterial communities is determined due to interactions between individuals, spatial distribution, movement constraints and secretion of substances that affect bacterial growth. To do this, we will combine both a mathematical and an ecological approach. The mathematical approach will make use of abstract tools in mathematical […]

This project will investigate the duty cycle of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), by studying the Xray features present in the inner regions of our Galaxy. The X-ray light emitted by Sgr A* over the last several centuries is still propagating in the central molecular zone, generating X-ray echoes. The […]

This project aims to develop an itinerary demand forecasting model that can handle long-term and short-term forecasting and adjust its parameters under changing situations. General long-term prediction models are relatively precise because the context often remains stationary over time, but can not quickly adapt to unforeseen events, like the global pandemics. It is necessary to […]

The field of epigenetics sheds light on mechanisms by which maternal environment influences outcomes in child development and neuroscience findings indicate that experiences during neurobiologically critical periods irreversibly influence the brain. This research has been of enormous interest to the media and public. This is the first study to investigate systematically how popular translations of […]

Human trafficking and sexual exploitation are serious and complex issues affecting millions of children around the world. Unfortunately, scientists, Child protection workers (CPWs), law enforcement personnel, and other experts are currently struggling to effectively prevent these crimes and ensure the rehabilitation of vulnerable children. One of the main hurdles impeding their efforts is the current […]

Informal learning involves acquiring knowledge outside of a structured setting in which learning is self-directed and developed from experience, exposure, and interactions with their environments (Nelson et al., 2006). Examples of informal coach learning includes experience as an athlete, coach observation, self-reflection, reading books, exploring the internet, and learning from experts or mentors in the […]
