- September 21, 2009 (from Campus E-Update):
Katy Smith, assistant professor, biology, serves as co-author of “Dewatering of contaminated sediments: Greenhouse and field studies,” an article published in Ecological Engineering, the Journal of Ecosystem Restoration. The article appears in Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2009 of that publication. The study detailed by the article involved three species of wetland plants and their ability to dewater saturated sediments contaminated with PCBs and PAHs without negative impact on the plants. Read the article (pdf).
- August 3, 2009 (from Campus E-Update):
Recently the Math, Science and Technology department was awarded $150,000 in federal stimulus funding through the University for the establishment of an informatics laboratory.
Research currently being conducted collaboratively by Katy Smith, Ph.D., assistant professor, biology, and Albert Sims, Ph.D., associate professor, Northwest Research and Outreach Center, focuses on emissions of greenhouse gases and the technologies that can reduce the emissions of those gases. The research will contribute to a growing body of information concerning greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices and how agricultural practices can be modified to maintain yields while also minimizing the impact on the environment.

The president of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) has awarded the title “Professor Emeritus of Computer Science” to Adel Ali, Ph.D., professor and department head, Math, Science, and Technology Department, in recognition of his 22 years of service to that institution. This is the first time USM has awarded the professor emeritus title in the field of computer science. Adel Ali began work at the Crookston campus of the University of Minnesota this past January.
- March 23, 2009 (from Campus E-Update):
Adel Ali, Ph.D., professor and head, Math, Science, Technology Department, served as program coordinator for the 15th Annual Conference on Industry, Engineering & Management Systems, held March 9-11 in Cocoa Beach, Florida. At the conference he also co-presented two papers on computer simulation work: “Hybrid Approach for Agent-Based Egress Simulation: Mitigating the Dynamic Re-routing Problem” with Bikramjit Banerjee and “Spot E Vac: A Simulation Environment for Planning, Training and Assessment of Emergency Response and Evacuation Capabilities at High Consequence Sports Events” with Lou Marciani.
- March 9, 2009 (from Campus E-Update):
An article co-authored by Venugopal Mukku, Ph.D., assistant professor, chemistry, has been published in the Journal of Natural Products published jointly by the American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy. An abstract of the article “Antineoplastic Agents. 570. Isolation and Structure Elucidation of Bacillistatins 1 and 2 from a Marine Bacillus silvestris” is available online.
