Bi-functional Photocatalysts For Photodegradation And Adsorption Of Organic Contaminants

In this research project, we experimentally realized the incorporated AgNP/CQD nanoparticles with regular SiNW arrays as efficient photocatalysts that demonstrated the remarkably improved photodegradation performances. By examining the morphology, microstructure, crystallinity, chemical feature, surface groups, light-emitting and reflection characteristics, these hybrid heterostructures are systematically identified. ........

Development of Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Resistant Bacteria and Assist Empiric Antibiotic Prescribing among Patients with Suspected Infection

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health. Substantial increases in antibiotic resistance rates have raised concerns and bleak estimates as to the future of effective antibiotic treatment. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is mainly shaped by the evolutionary forces of genetic variation (ie, mutations and horizontal gene transfer) and selection exerted by antibiotic usage. ........

Smartphone Application of Physical Therapy for Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) a sleep-breathing disorder that affects 7-24% of the adult population. It is defined by repeated apnea/hypopnea during sleep and causes fragmented sleep and decreased oxygen saturation in patients with OSA. Current first-line treatment for OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). ........
