The current Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST) chemical protective ensemble for the US military is nearing the end of its mission life, requiring the development of new personal protective equipment (PPE) suits for all of the Armed Services. While new suit designs have addressed many design drawbacks of the JSLIST MOPP suits such as thermal stress and flexibility, they s ...

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of materials that have extremely high porosity and provide chemical tailor ability that is particularly useful for gas and liquid sorption and catalytic applications. Some MOFs have been optimized for the decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and significantly outperform current activated-carbon technologies in this area; howev ...

A technology for continuous ionization of bio-aerosols and airborne particles to improve the effectiveness of its electrostatic collection was demonstrated in Phase I. We designed, fabricated and tested a 50 CFM device that uses direct induction charging...

This proposal presents a method and technology for continuous ionization of bio-aerosols and airborne particles in building protection applications to enable effective removal of the ionized particles from the air flow by an electrostatic collection device. The proposed ionization method is based on a concept of combining a novel method of direct induction charging by an electric field with divers ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities. These conditions are preventable and modifiable through a safe, healthful diet, but multiple challenges precl ...

The majority of students and educators would probably agree that students are better able to grasp scientific concepts from the use of hands-on activities and other inquiry-based educational practices than from typical lecture problem solving methods. Anasphere, Inc is working to make inquiry based tools and materials for weather and climate education more readily available for students and educat ...

The provision of quality-differentiated instruction requisite for educational success is dependent on the implementation of timely differentiated placement procedures. Studies indicate that despite a plethora of “research based” educational tools and substantial funding, “language minority” (LM) students who fail to successfully exit enrichment programs for ELLs within three to four years ...

CSMP is an exciting K-6 math program, designated as an "exemplary educational program that works¿ by the U.S. Department of Education, which funded its development, evaluation, and dissemination. Its spiral, problem solving approach uses picture languages, abaci, and technically challenging games. Simple problems subtly introduce sophisticated concepts. While class and teacher-student intera ...

Disability is the nation's largest public health issue; with over 35 million Americans experiencing disability and annual disability-related costs exceeding $170 billion. Planning for the efficient and equitable allocations of state and local rehabilitation services has generally been inadequate, however. Geographic information systems (GIS) approaches have the potential to dramatically improve ...
