Traumatic injury represents one of the most common reasons for mortality and accounts for 14.2% of all fatalities. Clinical management of trauma and emergency surgeries in combat casualties often require massive plasma transfusions. However, in critical c

Random numbers are essential for a growing number of modern applications. As computer speed and communications bandwidth have increased the potential for practical streaming cipher and large-scale Monte Carlo simulations have become technologically feasible. For these and other applications, ultrafast random number generators are essential. This is intuitively clear. Additionally, however, the ide ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to design and develop Training Environment for Design of Resilient Systems (TENSILITY), a distributed interactive simulation-based training environment to enable systems designers, systems integrators, platfo...

Abstract Peripheral artery disease PAD is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs thereby restricting blood flow During exercise or simply walking there is not sufficient blood flow to keep up with the metabolic demand This causes symptoms most notably leg pain when walking intermittent claudication PAD is also likely to be a sign of more w ...

ABSTRACT Traditional approaches to drug development for Alzheimer s disease are becoming increasingly expensive and in many cases disappointingly unsuccessful Based on preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies we have identified a novel small molecule methyl dimethyl oxo dihydrobenzo c naphthyridine carboxylate UK that significantly decreases A production and pro in ...

Control Theory tools and processes for analyzing the interactions of complex System of Systems (SoS) are lacking, specifically when sub-systems are independently designed and/or higher levels of SoS controls are applied. Integrating these sub-systems into the SoS, can result in dynamic interactions between these sub-systems and the SoS controls resulting in unexpectedly large deviations between ex ...

In this research effort, GTD Unlimited will design tools for efficiently specifying, representing, and analyzing the interactions between control systems in System of Systems (SoS). Our approach will be to model the problem as an uncertain system and analyze the resulting models using control methods. Control methods can be related back to the standard Nyquist criterion for stability, ensuring t ...

A number of forward leaning, high-tech companies and universities are engaged in developing novel 3D displays.Since the emerging 3D display technologies have yet to create a common format for a 3D scene description, the burden is on the application dev...

Asthma a chronic disease of the lungs that affects adults and children of all ages has markedly increased in incidence prevalence and severity over the past several decades with a prevalence of in the U S The current standard of care for asthma consists of the combination of long acting beta adrenergic receptor agonists which relieve airway constriction and glucocorticosteroids which ...

This Phase-II STTR Proposal first summarizes Phase-I progress on the development of a microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) solid-state shear-stress sensor for high-speed, high-temperature flow applications.A working prototype has been completed and successfully tested in a heritage Mach-5 wind tunnel at The University of Texas at Austin.The fundamentally new device concept has been verified in Pha ...
