PFAS coatings have been widely used for producing consumable food-related packaging paper and tableware because of their good water and oil resistance. However, the potential risks associated with PFAS leaking during packaging usage and recycling threaten food safety and human health. The Creekside Environmental Products-Mississippi State University (MSU) Team proposes the development of PFAS-free ...

C56-36c-272696The Department of Energy’s Office of High Energy Physics promotes the development of state-of-the-art particle accelerators for cutting-edge experimentation. To support these advances, improved high- temperature superconducting (HTS) wires are required in order to build high-field magnets that generate magnetic fields greater than 18 T. One key material for the development of HTS w ...

Statement of the Problem: Decommissioned solar panels will account for up to 10 million tons of waste in the USA by 2050. PV recycling has seen little development in reclaiming valuable materials present in low concentrations. Copper and silver account for 1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total waste mass, but represent 7% and 42% of the waste value. To make mass PV recycling economically viable, ...

n DER (Distributed Energy Resource) power delivery systems, the cybersecurity enhancement of OT (Operational Technology) is urgently needed to adapt/survive cyberattacks without disrupting safe operations. However, the modern energy systems with OT and IT systems are connected, allowing cyberattacks to originate in business systems and then migrate to DER energy control systems within the OT envir ...

The use of high throughput genetic data has transformed animal agriculture dramatically overthe last 17 years.Large breed associations and national breeding programs are collecting genomewide genotypes and implementing genomic selection to improve production phenotypes.Thesetechnologies have proven both powerful and transformative.They have also become inexpensive.Whole genome genotypes can be gen ...

ABSTRACT Approximately 700,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor. Of these, malignant gliomas (MGs) account for approximately 40% of all intracranial tumors, with an overall survival rate of only ~34%. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of therapy and the extent of resection correlates with survival. Fluorescence imaging has emerged as an adjunctive techn ...

ABSTRACT Continuous monitoring of neonatal brain development is crucial for effective management of brain injury and associated complications, thus reducing healthcare burden and costs. One rapidly developing method for early characterization of abnormal brain development is to map resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) across distinct regions of the brain. However, currently available neur ...

Project Summary I-RED Southeast XLerator Network, powered by XLerateHealth, LLC in collaboration with the University of Kentucky as the lead academic partner institution, proposes to develop a suite of experience-based entrepreneurship education products and commercialization education tools to address the needs of academic institutions and their faculty, researchers, innovators, and graduate/unde ...
