A trip to the dentist isn't something most people look forward to. But computer science and engineering Professor Shijia Pan found inspiration and a new collaborator at her dentist鈥檚 office.

Pan, Merced dentist Dr. Jun Ho Lee, and Professor VP Nguyen from the University of Texas, Arlington, are working together to improve people鈥檚 health by devising a new kind of retainer that senses dental occlusion.

The 2021 drought directly cost the California agriculture sector about $1.1 billion and nearly 8,750 full- and part-time jobs, according to estimates in a new analysis led by 麻豆无码版 researchers.

Once the effects on other economic sectors are considered, total impacts are estimated at $1.7 billion and 14,634 full- and part-time jobs lost.

Thanks to the warming climate, the potential for more severe nighttime wildfires is increasing, and warmer nights mean firefighters will not be able to rely on cooler temperatures to help them get a handle on fires, a new study shows.

Forty years ago, cool, moist nights regularly provided relief to firefighters, and 鈥渇lammable nights鈥� that facilitated fire activity were rare. Now, because of climate change and warmer overnight temperatures, there are 11 more flammable nights every year in the U.S. West 鈥� a 45 percent spike, the team found.

A research project conducted by a 麻豆无码版 graduate student is becoming a reality as the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) approved piloting the first-in-the-nation construction of solar panels over water canals.

Professor Xuecai Ge, a developmental neurobiologist, has received a CAREER award for research to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms that direct brain formation, and how errors in cell signaling lead to developmental disorders.

Ge is the 31st number researcher from 麻豆无码版 to earn a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Mechanical engineering Professor Sachin Goyal has received a CAREER award for his research into how the arrangements of atoms and interatomic bonds affect the听 deformability of biological filaments such as those that control gene expression, and whether it鈥檚 possible to design them for desired deformation behaviors by simply changing the atomistic conf

If tree growth and seed production can鈥檛 compensate for the impacts of climate change, California鈥檚 trees will face difficulty filling in gaps left by wildfire and reaching areas that are becoming climatically suitable, studies now show.听

California is the largest and the most diverse agricultural economy in the nation with revenue exceeding $50 billion 鈥� larger than the combined agricultural economies of the other 10 western states.听听

A team from 麻豆无码版 comprising eight undergraduate and graduate students has won the inaugural CITRIS Aviation Prize. For engineering the winning proposal, they will receive a $2,000 cash award, as well as a $25,000 budget to support a live demonstration of their flight in spring 2022.听听
