The proposed effort will extend existing proofs of concept and advanced research systems to: (a) provide an efficient, low-level, data-parallel runtime for graph processing on GPUs; (b) provide a high-level abstraction for writing graph analytics that are

The objective of this proposal is to develop novel lead salt semiconductor quantum dot (QD) mid-infrared detectors for sensing and imaging applications. The proposed development is based on our recent study of PbSe photoconductive (PC) detector with a rec

To date, there is no known standardized method of determining the origin of fabrication of an IC chip. The problem lies in the numerous parameters that can be used to identify the origin. To resolve this and meet its need, Xallent LLC proposes developing a database of unique device parameters and characteristics that can be used to successfully track the origin of fabrication of an electronic comp ...

ABSTRACT The number of kidney transplant candidates on the waiting list continues to increase each year, while the number of kidney donations remains stagnant. The enduring donor shortage compels clinicians to use kidneys from marginal donors, referred toas expanded criteria donors (ECD). ECD kidneys, obtained primarily from older donors, have a higher risk of delayed graft function and graft loss ...

In recent years, juvenile justice professionals have begun to supplement traditional efforts aimed at discipline and punishment with an asset- based perspective referred to as positive youth justice (PYJ). ...

ABSTRACT: Autonomous vehicles lack a standardized mechanism for seamless cross-platform sharing of testing frameworks and evaluations of basic tasks. The ability to execute common tests on various hardware platforms is essential in order to be able to e

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are now 50+ new drugs in Phase II-III development to treat COPD - a disease affecting 13 million Americans, costing 49B and killing 120,000 each year. However, a major limitation in evaluating therapies for thesechronic diseases is the lack of a sufficiently sensitive and non-invasive method for drug developers to see efficacy on timescales of days rathe ...
