There is an unmet demand for ultra-low-power, ultra-compact and low-cost radios to address emerging sensing and communication needs for military and commercial applications such as IoT/IoE. To overcome the limitations in existing bulky and power hungry radios, we propose a disruptive solution by integration of a nano-scaled THz transceiver, on-chip antenna, and energy harvesting circuits in a form ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Problem Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is a significant medical problem in the United States accounting for more than hospital admissions and tens of billions of dollars of healthcare spending annually It is common for bleeding from a single site to stop and restart multiple times The three modalities now used to diagnose and locate gastrointestina ...

The overall objective of this project (Phase I, II, and III) is to develop, fabricate, and test a novel biofidelic rat surrogate for the validation of primary blast loading conditions for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The CFDRC/NJIT team will use extensive knowledge of blast loading characteristics and TBI studies coupled with past/ongoing efforts designing and testing a rat surrogate. In P ...

The Army is very interested in accurate simulations of combustion in devices such as rockets and gas turbines, Otto and Diesel cycle IC engines, scramjet engines, rotating detonation engines, etc.The performance of weapons systems using these devices directly affect casualty/loss rates and the ability to win wars as well as procurement decisions and program costs. Accurate and computationally-affo ...

ABSTRACT Traditional mon therapeutictarget driven approaches to drug development for Alzheimer s diseaseADare becoming increasingly expensive and in many cases disappointingly unsuccessfulBased on preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies we have identified a novel small moleculemethyldimethyloxodihydrobenzo cnaphthyridinecarboxylateBNCthat significantly decreases neuroinflammation and production o ...

Children and youth with developmental disabilitiesDDreceive extensive pediatric rehabilitation services to address functional limitations in self caremobilityand socializationThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates the inclusion of the patient s perspective in healthcare evaluationYetthere is a lack of self reported healthcare assessments appropriate for youth with DDTo accurately ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Therapeutics is focused on the development of adjuvant systems with desired immune activities for targeted indications The Companyandapos s immune stimulatory adjuvant platform builds on combinatorial use of immune agonists with distinct immune targets and mechanisms of action for the generation of therapeutic immune responses Critical to this platform techno ...

Abstract Type Diabetes T D affects an ever growing population While this disease typically has been associated with juveniles the disease in adult populations is rapidly increasing The defining clinical component is insulin loss which occurs because of sustained inflammation in the islets At present there is no means to prevent or reverse insulin loss A major inflammatory pathway in T D ...

Abstract A major shortfall in clinical care for diabetes is a rapid and accurate screen for progression to disease Current criteria involve HLA haplotype and the presence of auto antibodies AA Genome wide associated studies GWAS revealed only immune associated genes including HLA as T D predictors The ability to differentiate from other diseases was very limited Pre type diabetes p T ...
