A UC San Diego bioengineer reveals some of the secrets behind understanding the new analytical tools and models of neuronal functions now being developed via a new book called Databasing the Brain: From Data to Knowledge. The book, co-authored by Shankar Subramaniam, chair of the Jacobs School Department of Bioengineering; and neurinformatics expert [...]
Biologists at UC San Diego working with colleagues in Europe reported in Nature that rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may not lead to greater photosynthetic activity and carbon sequestration by plants as atmospheric ozone pollutants increase.

Stem Cell research at UC San Diego got an additional boost from a $2.8 million Shared Research Laboratory Grant funded in 2007 by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) supports the creation of a new 2,775 square-foot satellite core facility in UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering. The laboratory will build on the [...]
UC San Diego engineers have launched a series of earthquake tests on a structure approximating a parking garage. The 1 million-pound precast concrete structure possesses the largest footprint of any structure ever tested on an earthquake simulator in the United States.
This test has a very high priority for the construction design industry because during the [...]
Electrical engineers at the Jacobs School are working on very high efficiency photovoltaic devices that may lead to more economical solar energy. In November 2007, UC San Diego received $885,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) – part of a recent $21 million DOE investment in next generation photovoltaic technology that aims at [...]
UC San Diego researchers have pioneered a more accurate approach for predicting the risk of breast cancer metastasis in individual patients and described the technique in Molecular Systems Biology. The researchers took advantage of new protein interaction databases and identified networks of genes from breast cancer patients – rather than individual genes – that can [...]
Neurobiologists at UC San Diego have discovered that altering electrical activity in nerve cells can change the chemical messengers the cells generate to communicate with other cells, a finding that may one day lead to new treatments for mood and learning disorders. In a study published in Nature, the UCSD team showed that manipulating the [...]
The Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation at UC San Diego is a multidisciplinary team of scholars, students, staff, and interested parties both within and outside of the University of California, brought together by their common interest in studying international conflict and cooperation. IGCC researchers study a wide range of topics involving security, environmental, and [...]
Researchers at UC San Diego and San Diego-based General Atomics have reported an improved control method for a type of nuclear fusion technology that confines a cloud of ionized hydrogen in a doughnut-shaped machine called a tokamak.

Jacob Whitehill, a computer science Ph.D. student at UC San Diego, can turn his face into a remote control that speeds and slows video playback. The proof-of-concept demonstration is part of a larger project to use automated facial expression recognition to make robots more effective teachers. Whitehill’s new work (PDF) builds on technology for detecting [...]
The Breakwater Pier at the U.S. Navy Homeport Complex is a 90’ wide x 1500’ long structure with a dual function. It is a berthing facility for Navy ships, and it also serves as a breakwater for the adjacent Carrier Pier.
The pier structure is supported by 24″ hollow octagonal prestressed piles and decked with precast [...]
Hit the beach anywhere in Japan, and you are likely to see endless piles of tetrapods — enormous four-legged concrete structures intended to prevent coastal erosion. By some estimates, more than 50% of Japan’s 35,000-kilometer (22,000-mi) coastline has been altered with tetrapods and other forms of concrete. Critics, who blame the tetrapod invasion on decades [...]
Eating greasy foods may or may not clog your arteries, but one thing is for certain: grease that enters our wastewater systems from restaurants and other dining establishments will eventually clog a sewer system. With the ever-increasing number of restaurants located in North America, the need for effective removal of fats, oils and greases is [...]
BCP’s range of precast traffic islands is revolutionising the way in which these items are constructed.
Traditionally, traffic islands were formed up and poured in-situ taking (in some cases) several days to complete the project. This in turn led to extremely high labour costs with highly skilled contractors and traffic controller required on site for significant [...]
