Researchers enhance tool to better predict where, when wildfires will occur
The Fire Program Analysis Fire-Occurrence Database was developed in 2013 by the U.S. Forest Service and since been updated five times. It incorporates basic information such as ignition location, discovery date and final wildfire size. The revised database now includes many new environmental and social factors, such as topography and vegetation, social vulnerability and economic justice metrics, and practical attributes such as the distance from the ignition to the nearest road. … Other co-authors of the paper are … Amir AghaKouchak, University of California, Irvine.

Researchers create tiny ‘beyond 5G’ chip for 100GHz data transmission
“We call our chip ‘beyond 5G’ because the combined speed and data rate that we can achieve is two orders of magnitude higher than the capability of the new wireless standard,” explained UCI electrical engineering and computer science professor Payam Heydari. “[O]perating in a higher frequency means that you and I and everyone else can be given a bigger chunk of the bandwidth offered by carriers.” Hossein Mohammadnezhad, lead author of the academic paper announcing the project, says that the “new transceiver is the first to provide end-to-end capabilities in this part of the spectrum.”

Research
EECS faculty engage in diverse research activities from massive networks involving machine-to-machine and human-to-human, and human-to-machine interactions all the way down to nano-devices and particles. The research efforts led by the EECS faculty are categorized into three major thrusts, namely, (i) Systems, (ii) Circuits and Devices, and (iii) Computer Engineering.

Research Bits: March 15 - NFC clothing
Engineers at the University of California Irvine propose an e-textile “body area network” that can enable near-field communication (NFC) at larger ranges. “If you’ve held your smartphone or charge card close to a reader to pay for a purchase, you have taken advantage of near-field signaling technologies.

Report from Maker Faire: Wrist Band Takes Blood Pressure
Taking blood pressure, a routine task in clinics, gives a one-time snapshot of an individual’s condition, but people who need frequent monitoring of blood pressure must return continuously to the clinic or take their blood pressure at home. In addition, devices that measure blood pressure, known as blood pressure cuffs, can be uncomfortable for some individuals. Two engineering students invented a device that makes possible continuous blood pressure monitoring.

Researchers discover atomic-level mechanism in polycrystalline materials
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and other international institutions have for the first time achieved atomic-scale observations of grain rotation in polycrystalline materials. … Scientists have speculated and theorized…for decades…We have been able to transition from theory to observation," said senior author Xiaoqing Pan, UC Irvine Distinguished Professor of materials science and engineering and UC IMRI director.

Rainfall Totals: 1+ Inch of Rain in Parts of San Diego County Not Enough to Pull From Drought, Expert Says
UC Irvine professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering Amir AghaKouchak said while the rainfall was significant, it is not likely enough to pull the region out of drought. … “It's better than last year, but we will remain under drought situation this year, at least that's how it looks like. … From an ecosystem perspective, wildfires around us are increasing over the years and drought is a major contributor," AghaKouchak said.

Research team develops insulating material inspired by skin cells of squid
Engineers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have developed a composite material that mimics the expansion and contraction of chromatophores on the skin of squid that control infrared light and heat transmission, which it claims can be cost-effectively scaled for insulating applications such as beverage cups.
