    Abstract: There are approximately 35,000 abandoned and unplugged oil and gas wells in New York with no known location. Unplugged wells emit methane, a strong greenhouse gas, which has the potential to significantly contribute to global climate change and act as a pollutant chemical. A long-range UAV equipped with methane sensors, MagPike (atomic magnetometer), and LiDAR sensors successfully detected unmarked well sites using characteristic magnetic signals generated by vertical metal piping preserved in the ground. The optimal flight altitude and transect spacing was determined for detection driven by the total field strength of the Earth's magnetic field and the height of tree canopies determined by LiDAR. Traditional methods of identifying oil and gas wells are costly and less powerful in acquisition of data such as using large magnetometers attached to helicopters.

    Abstract: A method for querying data obtained from a distributed sensor network, comprising: receiving sensor data representing an aspect of an environment with a sensor of the distributed sensor network; communicating a representation of the sensor data to a fog node through an automated communication network; determining, by the fog node, a correspondence of a query received through the automated communication network to characteristics of the representation of the sensor data; and selectively communicating, in response to the query, at least one of: the sensor data having the determined characteristics corresponding to the query, an identification of the sensor data having the determined characteristics corresponding to the query, and the data representing the sensor data having the determined characteristics corresponding to the query.

    Abstract: Systemic fungal infections are an increasingly prevalent health problem. Amphotericin B (AmB), a hydrophobic polyene antibiotic, remains the drug of choice for life-threatening invasive fungal infections. Embodiments disclosed herein are directed telodendrimer (TD) nanocarriers having freely engineered core structures for AmB encapsulation to reduce AmB aggregation status. The reduced aggregation status correlates with the optimized antifungal activity and the attenuated hemolytic properties, as well as reduced cytotoxicity to mammalian cells. The disclosed optimized TD nanocarrier for monomeric AmB encapsulation significantly increases the therapeutic index and reduces the in vivo toxicity and enhances antifungal effects in mouse models with C. albicans infection in comparison to two common clinical formulations, i.e., Fungizone and AmBisome.
