Project SummaryAccumulated snowpack is a major source of water throughout the United States. Accuratelymonitoring snow on the northern plains is a significant need for streamflow forecasting andreservoir management. This has been demonstrated by the US Army Corp of Engineersestablishment of the Upper Missouri River Basin Plains Snow and Soil Moisture MonitoringNetwork. The availability of a low-co ...

Our water air soil farms and forests depend on birds as vital natural resources. Birds consumeinsects pollinate plants disperse seeds and maintain wetlands. Unfortunately transmission linecollisions kill 57 million birds annually in the United States. Installing markers that help birdssee and not hit power lines can decrease bird collisions by more than 70%. Today powerlinemen use bucket trucks an ...

This project addresses production efficiency and competitiveness within the private sector ofcommercial aquaculture in the United States (US). New technologies to enhance knowledge for theexpansion of domestic aquaculture will be the focus of this application. Specifically the aim is toapply developed technology to establish Evergreen Aquatics as the first commercial hatchery in theUS to produce " ...

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly resistant to chemical/thermal degradation and arehydrophobic and oleophobic. Due to these properties they have been used for decades in productssuch as aqueous film-forming foams Teflon waterproof clothing and food packaging. The sameproperties that make them useful also cause them to be difficult to remediate and to bioaccumulatein livestock and humans. ...

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this proposal is to advance a new therapeutic approach targeting myosin for polycystic kidney disease (PKD). PKD is a major life-threatening Mendelian disorder that affects 12,000,000 individuals, representing a market opportunity of ~$1 billion. In PKD, tiny tubules in the kidneys, liver, and other organs gradually expand into fluid-filled cysts, leading to organ failu ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT Currently in the US there are over 400,000 kidney patients on dialysis. The primary therapy mode is hemodialysis and is performed in a hospital or private clinic. Current dialysis therapy requires a large device that must be continuously connected to a reverse osmosis (RO) system. A single treatment will require over 150L of AAMI dialysate making portable device unattaina ...

Project Summary The goal of this Fast Track STTR project is to determine proof-of-principle and efficacy of a novel blood brain barrier (BBB) penetrating therapeutic nanoparticle for the potential treatment of otherwise intractable brain tumors like glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This project seeks to demonstrate that novel, targetable nanoparticles can delivery therapeutic substances to human bra ...

Project Summary The goal of this project is to design and prepare diagnostic biomarker reference standards for the endogenous glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) and type II (MPS- II) biomarkers. MPS-I and MPS-II are lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) which are listed on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) in the United States and are included in global Newborn ...
