Acquisition Of Digitial Geophysical Equipment For University Of Maine Sea-Level, Coastal And Lacustrine Research, Daniel Belknap, Joseph Kelley
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This Major Research Instrumentation award to University of Maine provides geophysical instrumentation for study of sea level and related coastal research. Consisting of a side-scan sonar system, seismic reflection profiler, digital data processing system and a vibracorer, it will be particularly used for research into evolution of coastal and nearshore systems and climate change in glaciomarine environments, especially the Gulf of Maine and adjacent environs. Research plans by University of Maine faculty and students will focus on the acquisition of data needed to model processes of change near former ice sheet margins. The facility plans to build on research partnerships …

Sger: Detection Of Bioterrorism-Linked Microbial Pathogens Using Surface Acoustic Wave Liquid Sensors, Maruicio Pereira Da Cunha, Paul J. Millard
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
Bioterrorism threats and attacks in civilian environments require sensors that can rapidly and accurately detect minute quantities of pathological bioagents. Selective and inexpensive sensors are urgently needed to detect pathogens in liquid environments, including food and water supplies. Conventional laboratory analyses are time-consuming, labor-intensive and inconsistent with the expedient response required in the wake or possibility of a bioterrorist act.
The activities proposed in this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) are multidisciplinary and involve two faculty members from the University of Maine. Dr. Mauricio Pereira da Cunha, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will provide expertise in …
