This project team is developing a prototype of a delivery platform to host four web-based interactive games to help students overcome scientific misconceptions in middle-grade science. At present, the games are compatible with the Nintendo DSi platform, and include classroom activities that include PowerPoint and print materials. This project team will convert and enhance the games and materials f ...

Research demonstrates that lesson planning can be a highly inefficient process for teachers. This project team is developing a prototype of MyEdna, a web-based personal assistant that provides elementary school teachers easy and fast ways to search, save, and share high quality on-line educational resources. Pilot research at the end of Phase I will seek to demonstrate that the software prototype ...

This project team is developing a prototype of the Think Facts math game application (app) for touch screen tablets to support grade school students with major learning difficulties in practicing and learning number facts, strategies, and number sense. The games will be adaptive in nature, and will provide feedback to teachers to inform practice. Pilot research in Phase I will seek to demonstrate ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will employ the large scale; highly reliable boron-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (BD-UNCD®) electrodes developed during Phase I project to build and test Electrochemical Anodic Oxidation process (EAOP) cells and systems that can destroy Contaminants of Emerging Concern more economically and effectively than competing AOPs. BD-UN ...

VARIOUS ACTIVITIES (EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT, RESEARCH) GENERATE LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAW DATA. HOWEVER, DATA IS COLLECTED IN A DISJOINTED AND ISOLATED FASHION (I.E., ACTS, LITERATURE) CREATING BARRIERS IN DATA ACCESS AND DISSEMINATION. THERE IS A CONSENSUS AMONG FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS, THAT NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THESE INDIVIDUALS COULD BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF ...

REMOVAL OF TOXIC METALS FROM WASTEWATER STREAMS HAS BECOME A PROBLEM OF INCREASING NATIONAL IMPORTANCE, AS A RESULT OF INCREASING CONCERN FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND INCREASINGLY STRINGENT WASTE DISPOSAL REGULATIONS. CHROMATOCHEM, INC., HAS DEVELOPED AN ECONOMICAL AND EFFECTIVE NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE REMOVAL OF LOW LEVELS OF TOXIC METAL IONS FROM WASTEWATER STREAMS, USING SOLID PHASE EXTRACTION (SPE) ...

THESE IS A GREAT NEED FOR A SAFE, ENERGY-EFFICIENT, ON-SITE METHOD FOR DECONTAMINATING VARIOUS CHEMICAL TOXINS. NEARLY ALL (I.E., 99.8%) OF THE POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS) FOUND IN CURRENT APPLICATIONS ARE USED AS DIELECTIC FLUID. THIS AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 30,000,000 GALLONS OF PCB-CONTAMINATED FLUID. TO REDUCE THIS EXPOSURE RISK THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY IS REQUIRING THE ACCELERATED PH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE COST EFFECTIVE (LOW COST/HIGH PERFORMANCE) PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS DESIGNED TO INTERFACE WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER, WHICH WILL VOCALIZE UPON A GIVEN COMMAND WORDS OR PROCESSES WHICH HAVE BEEN STORED IN THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY OR ARE DISPLAYED ON THE COMPUTER MONITOR. THE PRODUCT GOAL IS THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PRINT ...
