In this Phase I STTR proposal we will determine the ruggedness of the genetic immunization technique in the production of duck egg derived immunoglobulin; specifically the natural F(ab")2 analog, IgY^Fc. We have already demonstrated that potently neutralizing duck egg antibodies generated with an early candidate Andes virus DNA vaccine, delivered via intramuscular electroporation, can protect afte ...

This Phase I program is focused on enhancement of the performance of MgZnO based solar blind detectors. MgZnO alloys have superior optoelectronic properties with bandgaps suitable for solar blind detection. Issues related to doping and miscibility will be addressed. This will involve the use of advanced MOCVD and MBE growth techniques and consideration of both Schottky and p-n junction devices. No ...

MESH, Inc. has developed a method to take data from multiple fixed site standoff sensors and generate concentration maps using either triangulation or tomography. The programs that MESH has developed will be modified to allow standoff from moving platforms to be used in the data merging process. A simulation suite of tools, also developed by MESH, will be used to set the requirements on the accu ...

Historically, the combat medic has had one of the most important yet life-threatening roles on the battlefield. They must find, assess, treat and extract fellow injured soldiers in extremely hazardous conditions, sometimes with little or no additional support. Because of this, medics and other first responders are often injured or even killed while attending to wounded soldiers. To properly addres ...

Highly scalable parallel random number generators (RNGs) will be developed, evaluated and implemented for use in high performance computing on thousands of multi-core processors and general purpose graphics processing units. The main contributions are: (a) design and implementation of new parallel test methods that capture the inter-stream correlations exhibited in practice and complement the curr ...
