Abstract:Present hemotoxicity testing during drug development has a low predictability level. In contrast, the in vitro hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell colony-forming assays (CFA) provide validated and highly predictive procedures which can be extrapolated to other proliferating cell systems and are… more
Abstract:Kigre has an idea and evidence for a new family of broadband glasses that break all of Zachariasen's standard accepted rules for glass formation. This family of glasses is based upon the extensive use of multiple glass formers such as SiO2, B2O3, La2O3and P2O5. By employing multiple glass formers… more

Abstract:Medium caliber cannons, such as the Army's M230 chain gun, currently utilize a high current electrical pulse to initiate the propellant. While electrical ignition is reliable, electrical based primers are susceptible to premature ignition from EMI, EMP, orother stray or directed electromagnetic… more
Abstract:NEWTEC Remediation Services, Inc. recently field demonstrated a new technology for the wide area detection of UXO. The technique was originally developed for landmines, but works for all types of ordnance or associated explosive waste (EW) products. Itdepends on the leakage of explosives from UXO… more
Abstract:Transplantation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of diabetes mellitus is widely anticipated to eventually provide a cure once a means for preventing rejection is found without reliance upon global immunosuppression. Long-term storage of islets is crucial for the organization of transplantation… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim From Applicant's Abstract): Effective methods of

salutary effect on the cryopreservation of a… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prior to introduction of polyglycolide
(PG) as braided synthetic absorbable sutures, surgical gut suture (SGS) was the
choice suture for many surgical procedures. Although the PG suture was a strong
competitor to SGS, the latter remained… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): Adhesion formation after
abdominal surgery is a significant cause of post-operative morbidity. In
gynecological surgery, adhesions can lead to infertility, chronic pain, and
obstructive disorder. Numerous adhesion… more
Abstract:The detection and quantification of corrosion in aircraft structures has primarily been a visual, thus subjective, technique.

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
