This proposal has three main efforts:1. Extension of the ATM Forum ABR protocol to allocate bandwidth according to quality of service (QoS) and priority level of the individual connection. This project will utilize the informational bits provided by the fields to support QoS and priority level acknowledgment.2. Design of an ATM application that utilizes the ABR service via an application programme ...

Electron-ion colliders (EICs) are the best microscopes for studying the structure of nuclear matter, particularly the nature and origin of spin in nuclei. To be effective, such machines require electron and ion beams with polarizations as high as 80%. Comprehensive end-to-end simulations to study the spin dynamics and optimize the beam polarization require exorbitant computational effort. We will ...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) platforms fit into the USAF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance strategy by providing local persistence, operation in contested environments, and low probability of detection. SUAS gimbal performance is ty

Current Issue/Need: Hyperspectral Imagery allows for the spatial classification, identification, and detection of vegetation phenomena that relate to the agricultural industry, including: plant species identification, insect and disease detection/monitoring, stress detection, soil quality, and vegetative health that is key to effective precision agriculture. Existing hardware used in hyperspectral ...

Project SummaryAbstract There is growing need of high throughput analytical platforms to study interactions of cell surface glycans and glycan binding proteinsWe propose here to develop aKglycan array to facilitate functional glycomics researchTwo hurdles for development of a comprehensive glycan array arelack of a sensitive glycan array substrate enabling multivalent binding eventsandlack of a co ...

Situation awareness has been recognized as an important contributor to aviation performance. Pilot training should therefore highlight the role of situation awareness in the operational environment. This should focus on timely, critical, information seeking and processing behaviors needed for acquiring and maintaining situation awareness. Such training may be accomplished by exposing the studen ...

Guidestar Optical Systems will develop a detailed design for an affordable, compact adaptive optical (AO) system which can be deployed at 1-meter class telescopes to accomplish characterization of low earth orbit objects and area inspection around high va

A novel, adaptive waveform coherent LADAR concept is proposed to provide a robust sensor capability to meet Air Force objectives. The LADAR operates at an eyesafe solid-state wavelength in order to achieve a compact, rugged design capable of stand-off ranges of 20 km or more. Simultaneous precision range, Doppler and micro-Doppler target signatures are extracted with an extremely efficient proc ...

ABSTRACT Significance Electronic prescribing is now widely adopted by US healthcare systems but clinical functionality of e prescribing falls short in the realm of pediatrics Medication prescribing is intrinsically more complex for pediatric patients due to weight based dosing the lack of widely adopted medication formulation recipes inconsistent off label ...
