Description: Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) is a devastating illness with
high infectivity and mortality rates. The 2014 West African
EVD outbreak was unprecedented in case numbers
and fatalities, and has highlighted the need to
develop rapid Point of Care detection devices. Progress
in the diagnosis and treatment of highly virulent
pathogens like the Ebola virus is often limited by the
small number of labs… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) into deep
saline aquifers is a promising strategy for mitigation
of global atmospheric CO2 levels-a main cause of
climate change. These aquifers have the capacity
to safely store significant amounts of CO2 and are
available worldwide. As such, reaction dynamics and
multiphase transport accompanying CO2 injection in
deep aquifers are important to… more
