The team also has started dissecting commonly used tuberculosis drugs to which bacteria have become resistant. The researchers hope to revive the usefulness of these drugs by making chemical changes that dodge a bacteria's resistance. The goal of this new event is to enhance the awareness of students' involvement in research at the university. During the week, speakers from various other institutions and corporations also visit campus to discuss their perspectives on the importance of student research. Student Research Week also allows students to compete for awards.
Plans are already underway for next year's event.
Theoretical physicist Michael Duff is trying to change the shape of the universe-or at least our concepts of the shape of the stuff it's made of. Scientific American published a detailed article about Duff's theories in their February 1998 issue. Heat is transferred through the catheter using a working fluid. The simple catheter device requires no complex equipment, high voltages or high radio frequencies. The patented catheter is the third issued with this technology.
