The Phase I Empower Math Project (EMP) will result in a technology capable of delivering authentic, engaging, and relevant mathematics studies and understanding to a 9-12 grade audience. EMP is the result of fusing two existing complementary computer-based learning systems, developed by the proposer, called PenMATH and Lord Kelvin. By channeling student interests with authentic experiences, EMP ca ...

The goal of this Phase I research project is to demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative Acoustic Biodiesel Synthesis Reactor (ABSR) with a biodiesel production cost of less than $0.30 per gallon over the cost of feedstock. The target feedstocks are brown, yellow, tallow, restaurant recycled, and trapped grease with high free fatty acid (FFA). The final target biodiesel costs will total $1.0 ...

It is a well-documented fact that persons who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) have difficulty learning to read and write proficiently. The average Deaf high school graduate reads at only a third to fourth-grade level. Over the last decade, several software screen readers and literacy tools have been developed for persons with blindness and learning disabilities. However, to date, none of these ...
