"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This MRI grant will be used to acquire an X-ray microtomography (XM) system to support diverse research and education groups at Clarkson University (CU). The equipment will directly support the research and educational mission of CU through the training and involvement of graduate and undergraduate students in educational experiences inside and outside of the classroom. The XM system provides new and unique experimental research capabilities at CU for the investigation of internal geometric and material characterization problems. The system adds advanced experimental capabilities to modernize the CU mechanical characterization and testing capabilities, which serve several innovative, multidisciplinary research and education projects. This system will have a very significant impact on the fundamental understanding of various mechanical, aerospace, bio-mechanical and biological systems.This X-ray microtomography capability will enhance collaborative research targeted at improving the human condition, and will provide state-of-the-art instrumentation for training of CU graduate and undergraduate students interested in emerging research areas in advanced materials and engineered biological systems. The XM facilities will enhance experiential project-based learning in pre-college, undergraduate and graduate courses and research projects directed by CU.A broad range of fundamental and applied research programs will utilize the system, including: investigation of the mechanical and pharmaceutical properties of advanced drug tablets, health and biological effects of nanoparticles, characterization of nanocomposites and self-healing materials, and osteoporosis-induced compression fractures in vertebral bone. The system will play a critical role in enabling the CU researchers to acquire new knowledge and understanding in these emerging fields and train next generation technical professionals.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“这项MRI赠款将用于购买X射线显微断层扫描（XM）系统，以支持克拉克森大学（CU）的各种研究和教育团体。这些设备将通过培训和参与研究生和本科生在课堂内外的教育经验，直接支持CU的研究和教育使命。XM系统为CU内部几何和材料表征问题的调查提供了新的独特的实验研究能力。该系统增加了先进的实验能力，使CU的机械表征和测试能力现代化，为多个创新的多学科研究和教育项目提供服务。该系统将对各种机械、航空航天、生物机械和生物系统的基本理解产生非常重要的影响。这种X射线显微断层成像能力将加强以改善人类状况为目标的合作研究，并将为对先进材料和工程生物系统新兴研究领域感兴趣的CU研究生和本科生的培训提供最先进的仪器。XM设施将加强大学预科、本科和研究生课程以及CU.A指导的研究项目中基于项目的体验式学习。广泛的基础和应用研究项目将利用该系统，包括：研究先进药物片剂的机械和药物特性，纳米颗粒的健康和生物效应，纳米复合材料和自修复材料的表征，以及脊椎骨内骨质疏松引起的压缩性骨折。该系统将发挥关键作用，使CU的研究人员获得新的知识和理解，在这些新兴领域和培养下一代技术专业人员。
