DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Seasonal influenza flu virus an NIAID category C priority pathogen causes widespread infection resulting in at least million cases of severe illness and deaths worldwide Young children and elderly or immunocompromised individuals are typically at greater risk of severe illness or death from influenza Newly emerging strains can result ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant One of the challenges of research in infectious diseases is to find ways to use the increasing knowledge of the mechanisms underlying disease transformation and progression to develop novel therapeutic strategies for diseases such as increasing menace of bacterial infections Targeting specific RNA such as rRNA which are involved in proliferation and survival ...

The US Navy faces daunting energy challenges that will further increase in severity, given the ever-increasing global demand for energy, diminishing energy supplies and demand for enhanced environmental stewardship. Navys environment foot print consists of both emissions and noise generated every day around the world. Additionally, noise is an important issue for the Navy due to the adverse effect ...

Pharad is teaming with the Applied Physics Laboratory of The Johns Hopkins University to propose and investigate the feasibility of wideband (VHF to SHF) RF-to-digital photonic link architectures with real-time digital signal processing (DSP) that can meet the stringent performance metrics of military systems. The key requirements for our wideband DSP linearized RF-to-digital photonic link include ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop an advanced Course of Action (COA) recommender that supports decision making. It is impossible for Warfighters to manually utilize the vast quantities of data at their disposal. To this end, advanced algorithms and data visualization are required to aid in analyzing the data and making informed decisions. The final output of such a system is actionable ...

Advanced effective Micro-glider development will be conceived under this Phase I effort.

Ultrafast true random number generators are ideal for data encryption, Monte Carlo testing, and other data transport applications. Torch"s team has extensive experience designing, building, and testing oscillators based on the innovative, hybrid, exactly-solvable, chaotic oscillator theory as developed by Corron, Blakely and Pethel. These oscillators are capable of generating provably-chaotic wa ...

This STTR project seeks to overcome the performance limitations of experimental sulfur tolerant SOFC materials by combining two elements of efficient SOFC design: 1) micro-tubular arrays (OD

The Department of Defense is concerned with circadian rhythm misalignments as they are known to affect judgment, psychomotor skills, and can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). At present, there is no comprehensive unobtrusive and easy-to-use solution that measures the circadian misalignment and automatically administers the appropriate therapy for realignment of circadian rhythm. Intel ...

In this STTR program, technology created at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) to fabricate silicon photonics based integrated laser devices, including wafer bonded gain elements, will be utilized to develop ultra-coherent integrated laser devices that are widely tunable. Novel laser designs developed by Morton Photonics, taking advantage of ultra-low loss microresonator based f ...
