AN ADVANCED WASTE-WATER TREATMENT PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUS SEPARATIONOF IONIC SPECIES, INCLUDING HEAVY METALS, FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. THIS PROCESS SHOWS A POTENTIAL FOR SEPARATION OF A VARIETY OF COMPONENTS FROM COMPLEX MIXTURES AT SUFFICIENTLY HIGH CAPACITY AND LOW COST TO BE SUITABLE FOR APPLICATION ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE. THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO PROVIDE VALIDATION AND DEVELOP ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning US offshore wind industry ...

The goal of achieving efficient flow control becomes even more challenging for MAVs as a result of the significant weight and size limitations. These preclude the use of complex hardware and control schemes which may be usable in conventional aircraft. In this research program, we propose an ambitious but realistic approach for developing and implementing, self-adapting, integrated sensor-actuato ...

50622-98-I A Decision Support System for Willow (Salix) to Improve Site Selection, Site Management, and Lower Production Cost--Highland Geographic, Inc., 1 Mill Street, D4, Burlington, VT 05401; (802) 652-9722 Mr. Darryl G. Murdock, Principal Investigator Mr. Darryl G. Murdock, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82591 Amount: $74,960 Improved methods for optimization of site selection ...

Developing new techniques for combustion chamber cooling are critical to increasing engine life to 60 missions or greater. Concepts NREC will explore several chamber cooling options that minimize or eliminate coking increasing engine chamber life withoutsacrificing performance or adding cost. The proposed Phase I study will investigate methane as the hydrocarbon propellant for cooling along with ...

Standoff detecctors are required to detect IEDs. These detectors are needed to save the lives of american soldiers. QuantaSpec has developed patent pending methods for long-range, sensitive, and selective standoff detection of explosives. These methods have already demonstrated sensitive remote detection of explosive vapors under previous efforts. QuantaSpec's multidisciplinary team will demon ...

The design, fabrication, and testing of a pump rig supported by a magnetic bearing system is described. This rig will boost pump technology by: (1) permitting accurate determination of impeller force and moment coefficients by electromagnetic impulse excitation, orbit control, and bearing force and displacement measurement during operation, and (2) use of control theory to suppress cavitation-surg ...
