藻类生物反应用之于生物燃料的生产.水生微藻类对于生物燃

藻类生物反应用之于生物燃料的生产. 水生微藻类对于生物燃料的生产有着非常有吸引力的前景，然而目前用之于商业藻类生物燃料的大规模生产的设施还未存在。

Algal Bioreactors for Biofuel Production Aquatic microalgae are an attractive prospect for biofuel production, yet no large-scale facilities for commercial algal biofuel production exist.

在寻找一种有效的针对藻类生产业检测的方法的同时，Beth Ahner (BEE), Ruth Richardson (CEE), 以及Maureen Hanson (MBG)通过互相合作生产一种高价值的酶来促进经济的增长。

Beth Ahner (BEE), Ruth Richardson (CEE), and Maureen Hanson (MBG) are improving the economics by coproducing a high-value enzyme, while developing diagnostic methods for algal culture monitoring—a new tool that stands to increase output of both the enzyme and oil for biodiesel.

(CEE), Dennis Miller (FDSC), Ardyth Gillespie (NS), 以及 Jonathan Russell-Anelli (CSS) are developing metrics and models for assessing food systems sustainability, which they wil l test by comparing the sustainability of one local and one conventional supply chain for a fruit and a vegetable.

这个项目将会在一些非常关键的有关食物提供和“当地饮食”的政治问题上初露曙光。

The project will shed light on key policy questions about the nation’s food supply and “eating local.”

对于可持续建筑的综合性数码设计环境，Don Greenberg (JGSM, ARCH, CS),Kevin Pratt (ARCH), Dana Cupkova (ARCH), 以及 Brandon Hencey (MAE)正在寻找一种互相作用的可视并具分析能力的工具来帮助那些正处在要做出对长期的可持续发展具有影响力的决定的设计初期的建筑师。

Integrated Digital Design Environment for Sustainable Architecture Don Greenberg (JGSM, ARCH, CS), Kevin Pratt (ARCH), Dana Cupkova (ARCH), and Brandon Hencey (MAE) are

developing interactive visual and analytic tools to help architects in the early

stages of the design process, when decisions that affect the long-term sustainability of buildings are made.

对可视化方法寻求突破只是这个具有创造力的团队的众多目标之一，他们最近从能源部门获得了1.83百万的资助。
