Reimagining 131/132 Agricultural Sciences Building to accommodate Hub-funded equipment to build research capacity
Sumner-Davis’s project will renovate AGS rooms 132 and 131 at UW–River Falls to accommodate previously Hub-funded equipment, an environmental test chamber and plant growth chambers. PI: Heather Sumner-Davis Sumner-Davis is…
-
Supplemental funding for analytical lab and collaborative research space
Sumner-Davis’s project will use additional funds to complete renovations for the Analytical Lab at UW–River Falls, which will increase the college’s research and collaboration abilities. PI: Heather Sumner-Davis Sumner-Davis is…
-
Electric Autoclave used to sterilize instruments, liquids, and biological wastes
This project will use a new electric autoclave for increasing teaching and research capacities at UW–River Falls. A purchase of a new autoclave will avoid the relocation of an older…
-
Characterization of cold plasma via optical and electrical diagnostics
Wan’s project will use high resolution spectrometers, an oscilloscope, and deuterium-tungsten halogen sources to better understand cold plasma, a novel non-thermal technology. Cold plasma has demonstrated high efficiency in microbial…
-
Acquisition of a differential scanning calorimetry machine
Obielodan’s project will use a differential scanning calorimetry machine for research involving the thermal characterization of materials. Note: this project was only partially funded by the Hub. PI: John Obielodan…
-
Enhancing anaerobic digestion biogas analysis capabilities at UW–Platteville
Sanford’s project will use a gas chromatography system to analyze biogas samples from livestock systems, including O2, N2, CH4, and CO2, for anaerobic digestion research. This will expand current and…
-
Enhancing elemental analysis capabilities for organic substances at UW–Platteville
Baxter’s project will use an updated carbon and nitrogen analyzer to better understand the benefits of carbon and nitrogen in soil, mature, compost, and biochar. This will expand UW–Platteville’s research…
-
Equipment needs for measurement of dynamic soil properties
Baxter’s project will use three different instruments to determine soil properties that change with natural or anthropogenic disturbances within the human time scale, known as “dynamic soil properties’. Unlike basic…
-
Handheld, portable blood gas machine
Kehoe’s project will use a handheld, portable blood gas machine to measure levels of various gases found in blood. This machine opens up a multitude of research opportunities on calf…
