Zero-Carbon to Carbon-Negative Infrastructure
Concrete manufacturing is an energy-intensive process, resulting in significant amounts of GHG/CO2 being released into the atmosphere. The use of a variety of technologies designed to lower these emissions, including supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) (e.g., fly ash, slag, silica fume, and other products), lowering kiln operational temperatures,...

Low-Damage of Steel Members by Premising Buckling Deformation
Design specifications to prevent building collapse when exposed to a seismic event may be effective in preventing building failure; however, after such an event, the structure may be damaged, requiring repair or replacement. Use of various lateral force-resisting systems, moment-resisting frames, and concentrically braced frames (CBF) have been...

The Rowan Digital Cancellation Test (RDCT): A method for detecting cognitive impairment
Worldwide, over 50 million people live with a disease that causes long-term memory loss. By 2050, this number is projected to almost triple to 130 million. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia leading to long-term memory deficiency, afflicting over 17 million adults over the age of 65. Also, it’s the 5th leading cause...

Absorbance-Coupled Voltage Control of Electrospray Ionization
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely used research tool for determining the exact molecular weight of particles within a sample. It separates electrically charged ions within a gas phase that are subsequently transferred into a mass analyzer, sorted in space or time according to their mass-to-charge ratios. Although there have been many advances using...

Energy Fishing using Moving Wind Turbine System
Offshore wind turbines are typically fixed devices anchored to the seabed by a foundation. The advantages of a floating offshore system (economic, reusable, deeper water depths) as compared to fixed structures have resulted in increased interest in floating technologies. The major type of floating wind systems in use today are semisubmersible and concrete...

Injectable hydrogels with independent control over physical properties and bioactive peptide functionalization
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease that causes low bone mass, bone tissue deterioration, and bone microarchitecture disruption, leading to compromised bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. More than 200 million people have osteoporosis globally, and about 30% of women and 20% of men over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture...

Combinatorial damage detection using UAVs and CT scan robots
Bridge inspections are normally conducted visually (e.g., naked eye) in conjunction with instrumentation. These techniques are limited in scope in that certain areas of the structure are inaccessible, place workers at risk when attempting to reach these hard to access areas, and may require bridges to be shut down during inspections causing commuter...

Distributed Space Computing Framework
Satellites are essential to global communications systems because they can receive and transmit a wide range of data and information. Since they operate in space, satellites can communicate and collect data virtually anywhere without being hindered by terrestrial coverage limitations. Thus, they can cover large sections of the Earth’s surface,...

Algorithms and Methods to Detect Bone Landmark for Long-Bone Fracture Alignment
Musculoskeletal disorders afflict the body's movement via damage to bones, muscles, tendons, and soft tissues. They are the leading cause of all healthcare visits to hospitals (65 million) and responsible for 63% of deaths in those over 85. In addition, more than 250,000 people suffer a femur fracture annually, which is expected to double by...
