Transfer learning for semantic segmentation of fungal growth images to accelerate high-throughput fungicide development

There is a growing need to develop new crop protection products that are more effective against fungal disease and mitigate pathogen resistance. The fungicide product development process is time consuming and expensive and there is a great opportunity to reduce costs and time by using machine learning. In this project, an existing deep learning algorithm […]

Storage, fluidization, and distribution of the high solid fraction ice slurry

Deepchill and slurry ice is a dynamic medium whose fluid properties change with many different factors such as solute concentration, ice fraction or thickness, temperature, time (settling) and agitation. Once it is generated, it must be stored in different forms depending on the required final applied. Storage, fluidization and distribution of this medium is a […]

Smart ELISA Protocol Development and Implementation using Somru Intelli.R Automation Systems

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) it is an immunochemical test that utilizes an enzyme (a protein that facilitates a biochemical reaction) and an antibody or antigen (immunologic molecules) to detect and quantify specific substances in a biological solution. The development of an ELISA protocol presents several challenges, however. For example, ELISA technology currently is developed largely […]

Remediation of orphaned sites inundated with wood preservatives (pentachlorophenol & creosote), and detailed environmental impact assessment of dichloro-octyl-isothiazolinone (DCOI) on soil core and groundwater

There is a pressing need for studies centered on the impact assessment of emerging wood preservatives and the remediation of orphaned sites. The present proposal describes a dual-purpose research project. The project aims to; (i) apply a modified in situ chemical oxidation technique for the removal of pentachlorophenol (Penta) and creosote compounds in orphaned sites […]

In vivo efficacy and safety of novel therapeutic host defense peptides

Biofilms are clusters of bacterial cells that grow together on a surface. Biofilms are often associated with infections (~65%) but they are exceedingly difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics and there are currently no biofilm-specific treatments available on the market. Some common biofilm-associated infections include skin and sinus infections as well as infections associated with […]
