From women-only taxi companies in New Delhi to smokeless stoves in Uganda, innovation can transform the lives of women and girls around the globe. While it is well known that social innovation and women’s empowerment are each processes that drive change, there is little research to date connecting social innovation to the empowerment of women […]

Including people who use drugs (PWUD) in research related to the use of substances and community harm-reduction interventions is crucial for understanding the target population. This population can be difficult capture in research and may be hesitant to participate due to the stigmatized nature of substance use. This scoping review will summarize the existing literature […]

Mind wandering refers to when attention shifts away from the task at hand towards unrelated thoughts, which can interfere with learning. Researchers have identified various signs of mind wandering, such as changes in eye movements, heart rate, and brain activity. These signs can then be utilized to train computer models that predict when mind wandering […]

The importance of ecosystem services to human well-being, and of management of water and other watershed resources in maintaining such services, is not commonly understood by the general public, and not well-enough articulated by environmental management and governance organizations. Beneficiaries of such services are often unaware of the nature of their dependence upon supporting ecosystems. […]

The production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) will be a critical step in reduction of CO2 emissions from the aviation industry, which currently lacks scalable solutions for emissions reduction. Greenfield Global has developed a process for production of SAF from biomass waste through a patented process that converts residues into fuel. However, transportation of low […]

Hundreds of Echinacea products are available but, with each made from different plant materials using different processes, chemistry- and therefore quality -varies between products. Working with Amway Corporation, a global leader in the Echinacea market, researchers at the University of […]

Efficient monitoring of soil moisture is essential for evaluating crop stress and forecasting agricultural yields. In this regard, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is considered more suitable than traditional optical satellites due to its all-weather and all-day capacity, as well as its sensitivity to soil dielectric constant. To further enhance the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, […]
