THE HUMAN AS A SYSTEM COMPONENT IS MOST LIKELY TO FAIL UNDER HIGH WORKLOAD WHICH OFTEN IS THE TIME THAT FAILURE ISJ MOST CATASTROPHIC FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND OUR THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN INFORMATION PROCESSING WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO MODELS OF ATTENTION AND HIGH WORKLOAD. BIOCYBERNETIC MEASURE (P300 AND HEART RATE) ARE USED TO PROVIDE CONVERGI ...

THE EVOLUTION OF PERSONAL MICRO COMPUTERS INTO FULL FUNCTION PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS OPENS NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING THE DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY OF POTENTIAL USERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE HIGH COST OF PRESENT DAY COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING (CAE) AND RELATED SYSTEMS. THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF LOW COST MICROPROCESSORS PROMISES TO REMOVE THE CURRENT PRICE BARRIER O ...

A ONE STEP SYNTHESIS OF THE ABOVE COMPOUND FROM COMMERCIALLYAVAILABLE RESORCINOL AND RESORCYLIC ACID WILL BE INVESTIGATED USING HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, BORON TRIFLUORIDE, NAFION(R) RESINS, AND OTHER STRONG LEWIS ACIDS AS CATALYSTS.YIELDS WILL BE OPTIMIZED FOR THE PREFERRED SYSTEMS. A COST EFFECTIVE PURIFICATION TO A PRODUCT USUABLE IN THIN FILM SOLAR APPLICATION WILL BE WORKED OUT.

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH PROBLEM IS TO DEVELOP A SENSOR, TOGETHER WITH A MATHEMATICAL ALGORITHM, THAT WILL ALLOW THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL QUANTITATIVE EDDY-CURRENT NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES. THE APPROACH THAT WE PROPOSE IS BASED ON, AND EXTENDS, WORK ON TWO-DIMENSIONAL EDDY-CURRENT NDE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED BY ANALYTICS, INC. THAT WORK IS BRIEFLY REVIEWED.THE TECHNI ...
