Alcohol use disorder: Neuroimaging evidence for accelerated aging of brain morphology and hypothesized contribution to age-related dementia
Knowledge of the potential influence of the AUD-associated co-factors on the condition of brain structure may lead to identifying modifiable risk factors to avert physical declines and may reverse or arrest further AUD-related degradation of the brain.

Antiviral T-cell Biofactory platform for SARS-CoV-2
We engineered a T cell to synthesize interferons (IFNs) as antiviral proteins upon recognizing the virus envelop protein of SARS-CoV-2, i.e., anti-SARS T-cell Biofactory.

Heavy-Ion-Induced Lung Tumors: Dose- & LET-Dependence
The goal of this study is to reduce uncertainties in estimating particle-radiation-induced risk of lung tumorigenesis for manned travel into deep space by improving our understanding of the high-LET-dependent dose-response from exposure to individual ion beams after low particle doses.

Pedestrian Detection from Moving Unmanned Ground Vehicles
SRI’s vision-based systems enable safe operations of moving unmanned ground vehicles around stationary and moving people in urban/cluttered environments. Under the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal project, SRI has developed a real-time, fused-sensor system that significantly improves stationary and dynamic object detection, pedestrian classification, and tracking capabilities from a moving unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The system…

Humidity’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions from air conditioning
Here, we show that the emissions associated with reducing air humidity (i.e., removing water vapor from air) are larger than emissions associated with reducing air temperature (i.e., cooling air).
