Design tradeoff must be made between the scientific payload and the spacecraft platform in a space mission. Scientists often want to have as many instruments as possible on the spacecraft and they also want to be able to use those instruments until the end of the mission. The scientist’s desire for many instruments translates to […]

The intent of this project is to demonstrate the GHG and electricity use savings of a range of low carbon heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies in the multi-unit residential building (MURB) sector. Technologies to be studied include: • ductless mini-split air source heat pumps (ASHP) • gas absorption heat pumps • smart thermostats […]

Many new pharmaceuticals are based on large biomolecules like proteins. Even small differences in the protein structure can cause significant changes in the efficacy and safety of these drugs. Furthermore, these large molecules are difficult to characterize without advanced instrumentation and methods. Current technologies still struggle with robustness and reproducibility. This study aims to introduce […]

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become the leading cause of hospital acquired nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The prolonged hospital stays associated with CDI has enormous impact on the healthcare systems in terms of costs and patient outcomes. While treatment of CDI is an important area for ongoing research, prevention efforts will need to be enhanced to […]
