Micronutrient deficiencies are a global danger, particularly affecting women of childbearing age. This group faces increased nutritional requirements prior to, during, and post pregnancy; deficiencies in folate, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D pose significant risks both to mother and child. Vitamin B-12 is crucial for maintaining normal brain function in women, especially before, during, and […]

Background and Unmet Need Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS), also known as ‘Forever Chemicals,’ this class of chemicals has been a growing contaminant of concern throughout the last decade. PFAS present a significant human health risk, including an increased risk of cancer and reproductive defects. Because these chemicals are extremely hydrophobic and do not naturally break […]
Precoding and modulation are important modules in wireless transmissions. Precoding designs improve the spectral efficiency and system performance in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties (amplitude, phase, and/or frequency) of a carrier signal, with information, e.g., bits, to be transmitted. Existing modulation methods for wireless communication primarily […]
Background and Unmet Need Legacy and insensitive high explosives (IHEs), such as 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TN)T, are commonly found in soil at Department of Defense (DoD) testing and training ranges. These ranges maintain very high concentrations of DNAN, which poses a substantial safety concern for personnel as DNAN has been found to possess significant […]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. AF patients exhibit increased risks for heart attacks, heart failure, hospitalization, and death. AF is increasing in prevalence, with up to 15.1M cases estimated annually by 2050 in the USA. This increase is in large part due to aging of the […]
