FluidPlanet Digital Twins

FluidPlanet.org produces and publishes digital twins (virtual versions of real places) for academic, educational and enterprise use. By combining the latest technologies in mapping (GIS), sensors (IoT) and visualization (gaming), we create realistic looking and behaving simulations of real locations. These can then be populated with virtual people, animals and buildings to tell stories that […]

Probiotics in endurance exercise performance

The gut microbiota comprises all bacteria inhabiting the intestines and has been shown to play a significant role in both health and disease. Although previously overlooked, new research shows that both the gut microbiota and their metabolites may influence exercise performance. Probiotic supplementation has been shown to have a small but significant positive effect on […]

Generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from genetically engineered mouse model and differentiation potential

Tissue-resident fibroblasts and their attendant activities are central drivers of a diverse range of diseases. The overarching theme of this proposal is to develop novel fibroblast reporter lines that will enable us to identify tractable therapeutic targets to modify fibroblast activity. To identify such targets, we are proposing to carry out high throughput screens (i.e., […]

Diego Zenteno – Borealis Geothermal

Geothermal energy, unlike other renewable sources, is available at all hours of the day, and can provide industry with a continuous supply of energy. However, one of the barriers to widespread geothermal use and the replacement of natural gas as energy sources in industry, is how to incorporate geothermal energy into the industrial system without […]

The Characterization and Simulation of Futures Markets

Current financial models do an inadequate job of capturing the nuances of actual market movements and often exclude the characteristics that would differentiate the resulting data from randomly generated data. The project will identify the key market characteristics that encompass actual market movements by extending current pricing models to encompass those characteristics that are deemed […]

Simple Perfusion Reconstruction Algorithm Clinical Research Study and Development

CT angiograms (CTA) are used to detect vessel occlusions in the brain in stroke patients and are a diagnostic criteria of acute stroke. Current standards of care require that an additional CT perfusion scan to be taken in order to accurately locate large and medium-vessel occlusions, allowing for the administering of endovascular therapy (EVT) to […]
