a. Innovativeness of the proposed technology Forever Analytical Services (FAS) has developed particle-induced gamma-ray emissions (PIGE) spectroscopy for the high-throughput screening of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. This proposal seeks to extend the utility of this technique to the field by developing a field-deployable solid phase extraction (SPE) device containing a filt ...

There is a great need for disruptive technology to enhance the success rate of endotracheal intubation (ETI) procedures.  Complications frequently occur not only with difficult airway patients, but with patients with trauma and those with no apparent anatomical challenges.  Complications occur with military casualties, both prior to and after arrival at Combat Support Hospitals, and in austere a ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria have become a major concern in discharges from hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, and agricultural runoff. A quick, inexpensive, field- deployable method of detecting antibiotic resistant bacteria in these waters is desirable. Antibiotic resistant bacteria of concern include Salmonella, Staphylococci, E. coli, Enterococci, and coliform bacteria, among others. A p ...

Graspable Math Activities is web application that middle and high school students use on laptops and tablets to practice algebra and receive instantaneous feedback. Activities are based on an algebra notation technology that can promote procedural fluency while allowing students to focus on strategy and the connection between concepts and procedures. The team will produce a website that will inclu ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could cause widespread outage of the commercial electric power system that could last for weeks to months. Microgrids for defense critical infrastructure (DCI) should thus be equipped to operate in islanded mode for extended periods of time using only local fuel storage and renewable energy sources. The primary difference between operating a microgrid in islan ...

Techshot is pleased to provide this phase II proposal to continue our exciting scaffold development work in creating a Tissue Engineered Vascular Graft (TEVG).This off the shelf conduit will be capable of being combined with the patients own cells either at the time of surgery or by healing and remodeling in situ to provide a long term solution to revascularization due to traumatic injury.We inten ...

While aluminum casing materials provide some enhanced performance and thermal loading to explosive ordinance, their overall effectiveness is highly limited by incomplete combustion and long residence times. In order to reduce these problems, the casing material must be designed to facilitate rapid fragmentation through either specialized casing geometries or greatly refined initial particle sizes. ...

The purpose of this Phase II program is to develop an innovative, low cost, all-in-one surgical instrument for performing cricothyrotomies and managing airway trauma on the battlefield, with improvements aimed at ultimately reducing mortality rates associ

The purpose of this multi-phase program is to develop an innovative all-in-one surgical instrument for performing cricothyrotomies and managing airway trauma on the battlefield, with improvements aimed at ultimately reducing mortality rates associated with these procedures. The Wolf QuickCric is designed to be a substantial improvement over the cricothyrotomy kits that are currently used by medic ...
