Description: Data centers are one of key components in success
of many IT companies such as Google. Cooling of
data centers has been a decade-long problem since
tremendous heat emitted from multiple racks of computing
facilities typically overwhelms the cooling
magnitude by traditional air-based cooling schemes.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness
of heat pipe-based cooling… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis. Tumor-cell derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes are thought to contribute to metastasis. However, there is no standardized method to isolate exosomes. We hypothesize that polymer-based kits, in particular ExoQuick-TC (EQTC), may be better for isolating exosomes when compared to ultracentrifugation. In this study, we used three… more

Description: The interphase (littoral zone) of the Florida Everglades
and surrounding marine environments are
dominated by mangrove forests and mudflats that
transition into freshwater communities. As salinity
levels change, plant cover of the freshwater community
will be adversely affected, but perhaps more
importantly, their microbial symbionts responsible for
their tolerance to high salinity will be… more
