Marc Ivan Manalac, a third-year computer engineering student, and three other college students in the U.S., created a plan for a long-range outdoor fire detecting system in just two weeks. Manalac’s team was one of 10 finalists out of more than 450 entries in the “Beat the Blaze” competition hosted by the National Security Innovation Network ( NSIN). Although his team did not win one of the three $15,000 top prizes, Manalac still hopes to apply for other funding opportunities to further develop the technology for use in Hawaiʻi. Tech to combat wildfires Wildfires are common in the U.S., including Hawaiʻi, especially during the summer months in dry brush areas exposed to strong winds. The competition challenged participants to increase the information sharing capacity and capabilities between the National Guard and emergency response agencies during wildfire operations. ....
Aerial view of telescopes on Maunakea. Keck and Subaru will be used to conduct research. Researchers will conduct spectroscopic follow-up of interesting galaxies at the W.M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope. Subaru’s new instrument called the Prime Focus Spectrograph will be crucial for determining distances to all galaxies in the JWST survey. The program will log more than 200 hours of observation time on Maunakea to conduct an ambitious survey of half a million galaxies. An unprecedented 32,000 galaxies will be observed using mid-infrared imaging. Researchers will rapidly release data to the public so it can lead to other studies. ....
UHERO). Despite progress in vaccinations, Hawaiʻi has undergone a rise in new infections with recent cases concentrated among younger, unvaccinated individuals. On April 3, the seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases hit a peak of 117 new daily cases and has since declined slightly. A new mobility report by UHERO shows 27% of residents are staying completely at home on a given day in early April 2021, only 7% more than pre-pandemic levels. During infection peaks in March and August 2020, 40% remained at home. The mobility data allows for a comparison across islands and neighborhoods. Maui has undergone a steep decline in the share of residents staying at home, which correlates with the timing of rising infections. ....
In the U.S., Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders bear a disproportionate burden of disease, injury, premature death and disability. Cancer is just one example of the many health disparities that these groups face. The University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center’s work with these populations has significantly improved ongoing efforts to reduce health disparities among these populations across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific in research that could impact other parts of the world. Addressing disparities in minority communities April is National Minority Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about cancer health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations. Cancer health disparities exist among minority populations for many reasons, one of which is lack of access to clinical trials in the community setting where they seek cancer care. To address the nation’s cancer disparities, the Nationa ....
Richard Canevez, recipient of the prestigious Computing Innovation Fellowship ( CIFellows), has joined the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Social Sciences as a postdoctoral researcher. At UH Mānoa, Canevez will lead a study to examine the connection between communication technologies and the de-escalation of violence in social movements. “Recent social movement events illustrated the essential differences between violent and nonviolent movements. Movements that maintain a nonviolent core need to think creatively about their tools and practices, especially when faced with violence themselves,” said Canevez, one of 59 researchers selected as a 2020 CIFellows recipient from among 550 applicants worldwide. ....
