2021 Presidential Core Values Award for Knowledge: Abree Johnson, MS, MBA April 21, 2021 Lou Cortina With inquisitive nature and ability to multitask, director of pharmaceutical research computing is a great asset to the School of Pharmacy. To celebrate and promote the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) core values, the University hands out Presidential Core Values Awards, designed to recognize students, faculty, and staff who embody the seven values at the heart of UMB’...

Patterns and bottlenecks A year into the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, we are experiencing waves of new variants emerging. Some of these variants have worrying functional implications, such as increased transmissibility or antibody treatment escape. Lythgoe et al. have undertaken in-depth sequencing of more than 1000 hospital patients isolates to find out how the virus is mutating within individuals. Overall, there seem to be consistent and reproducible patterns of ...

Spring 2021 HiPerGator Symposium highlights artificial intelligence research  Winners of UF Researchs Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Catalyst Fund presented how they are pursuing multidisciplinary applications of artificial intelligence across the university at the Spring 2021 HiPerGator Symposium Tuesday. Presenters covered a wide range of topics, sharing how they are using AI to tackle issues like uncovering decades of ecological change to detecting online students who are at risk of ...

 E-Mail Hydrogen is an incredibly powerful fuel, and the ingredients are everywhere--in plain old water. Researchers would love to be able to use it widely as a clean and sustainable energy source. One catch, however, is that a considerable amount of energy is required to split water and make hydrogen. Thus scientists have been working on fabricating materials for photoelectrodes that can use solar energy to split water, creating a "solar fuel" that can be stored for later use. Scientists with...

Posted on 318 WekaIO™ (Weka), the fastest-growing data platform for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), life sciences research, and high-performance data analytics (HPDA), today announced that the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) has implemented Weka’s Limitless Data Platform™ to simplify, speed up, and scale their mixed workloads. By using Weka, OMRF can run more and concurrent research jobs in a short...

Daryl Domman, assistant professor at The University of New Mexico Center for Global Health, and Darrell Dinwiddie, assistant professor in the UNM Department of Pediatrics, have discovered a novel variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among COVID-19-positive samples in New Mexico. The two have been working with the New Mexico Department of Health and other health officials to sequence the genomes of coronavirus samples from across the state, as well as those from other regions of the Rocky Mountains. ...

Study focuses on using landscape connectivity to control deadly mosquito-borne viruses ANI | Updated: Feb 26, 2021 23:25 IST Washington [US], February 26 (ANI): A recent study led researchers at Yale School of the Environment has developed a new method for tracking how the deadly yellow fever mosquito moves through the environment, a potentially critical tool for controlling the insect and the diseases it spreads. The recent study was published in the journ...

A machine-learning approach to track how yellow fever mosquito moves through the environment The yellow fever mosquito ( Aedes aegypti) is a main vector of deadly diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, and the Zika virus, which result in hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Because Ae. aegypti prefers to bite humans and there are no vaccines for many of these diseases they carry, developing methods to control these insects is imperative in the fight to control illness. In a s...

share: Tuning Electrode Surfaces to Optimize Solar Fuel Production An electrode material with modified surface atoms generates more electrical current, which drives the sunlight-powered reactions that split water into oxygen and hydrogen—a clean fuel February 18, 2021 Through a tight coupling of experiment and theory, scientists showed at the atomic level how changes in the surface composition of a photoelectrode play a critical role in photoelectrochemical performance. UPTON, NY—Scientists...
