A team of researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso, led by Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, discovered that combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation with resistance training results in greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.
Propensity to addiction starts from the very first drug use experience, UTEP study shows
Geology researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso are partnering with scientists in the Kingdom of Bhutan to detect and mitigate the impact of glacial floods on rural mountain villages. The new project is supported by approximately $380,000 from the National Science Foundation.
The study will look at how drought, heat waves and soil impact the cycle of water and carbon between plants and the atmosphere in dryland agricultural ecosystems. It will focus on two orchards, one in the El Paso area and another in the Conchos River basin in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Tayia Oddonetto, a doctoral student at The University of Texas at El Paso, developed electrodialysis metathesis, a novel approach to the desalination of brine, or salt, water that can convert over 90% of salt water to fresh water. The research earned Oddonetto first place and funding from the NSF Engineering Research Centers Perfect Pitch Competition.
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have created a portable device that can detect colorectal and prostate cancer more cheaply and quickly than prevailing methods. The team believes the device may be especially helpful in developing countries, which experience higher cancer mortality rates due in part to barriers to medical diagnosis.
Sheds light on limitations of naturally occurring zooplankton for inactivating pathogen contaminated water
The University of Texas at El Paso announced new collaborations with the Department of Defense and the National Security Agency that support research and training to strengthen the nationâs leadership in semiconductor, or microchips, technology.
