University of North Texas

  • Analyzing plants at the microscale

    Patrick Horn, a biochemistry doctoral student at the University of North Texas, is one of the first researchers to create a chemical map of plant cell components that will enable other scientists to analyze the lipid composition of plants in greater detail. With these findings, scientists could improve human health and nutrition as well as agricultural productivity.

  • Research with real-world impact

    Dorothy Kozlowski has spent two years of funding from the Department of Defense to discover better rehabilitation protocols for cases of traumatic brain injury. The research addresses treatment-critical questions: Which rehabilitation strategies work, in what combinations? What’s the optimal order and timing of the strategies? How much, how soon? How might rehabilitation be combined with drug therapy to yield better results? “This research is breaking new ground,” she says.

  • Readily Stimulated: "Smart" Polymers

    Darmstadt researchers plan to selec¬tively control the properties of underlying materials utilizing thin, “smart,” plastic films. For example, paper might be induced to release print¬ing inks, if necessary, chemical reactions might be started and inter¬rupted as required, or medications might be tailored to affect only certain parts of the body.

  • Post transplant baby a miracle

    Traditionally, women who have undergone transplants are not encouraged to have children because of the associated risks to the mother and baby during the pregnancy. But Heidi Schaefer, M.D., a Vanderbilt nephrologist, said it is time to rethink the possibility of childbirth after transplant.

Case Western Reserve University

  • Too Many Texts?

    Researchers surveyed a cross section of high school students from an urban Midwestern county and assessed the association between communication technology and health behaviors.

  • Information Quality Establishes Value

    Right from the start, Acxiom Corporation saw the value in financially supporting the new Information Quality program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. As the world leader in data management, Acxiom had executives who recognized that developing a graduate program in Information Quality just a few miles away from its global headquarters in Little Rock would provide outstanding professional development opportunities for its employees in the data quality field and also help build a skilled local workforce from which they could hire later.

  • Tackling Cyberbullying

    Advances in technology mean that now almost everyone has a mobile phone or internet access; with this huge increase in electronic communication comes the dark world of cyberbullying – a specific type of bullying by electronic means, including texts, video clips (eg ‘happy slapping’), hoax calls, and malicious behaviour through e-mails, social networking sites (eg Facebook, MySpace, Bebo), through blogs, and instant messaging (eg MSN).

University of Massachusetts Amherst

  • Cool Fuel

    In the fight to reduce our society's dependency on fossil fuels and minimize the ravages of climate change, one weapon stands out: biofuel, made from renewable plant material called biomass. UMass Amherst is proud to count among its own George Huber, a leading biofuel researcher who serves as John and Elizabeth Armstrong Professional Development Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
