Project Summary AbstractThe objective of this proposal is to perform proof of concept experiments on a new hand held surgical instrument that provides dexterity at the tip of a rigid bronchoscopeThis approach is less invasive than traditional open surgeryand will be safer than the current rigid bronchoscopic approachwhich lacks dexterity in port delivered instrumentsOur new system will feature nee ...

Project Summary Abstract Peripheral T cell lymphomaPTCLis a heterogeneous cancer that constitutes up toof all non Hodgkin lymphomaNHLThe World Health Organization classification recognizes a number of distinct subtypes of PTCL but the diagnosis of these different subtypes is challenging even for expert hematopathologistsFurthermoreof PTCL cases are not classifiable into any specific subtype at all ...

The goal of this workis to establish a radiation-aware capability in a commercial EDA design flow that will enable first-pass success in radiation resiliency for DoD ASIC designs in much the same way that existing EDA design suites ensure first pass functionality and performance success of complex ASICs destined for commercial applications.Such an integrated capability does not presently exist.The ...

Because of its high sensitivity polymerase chain reaction PCR is the gold standard for the diagnosis of many infectious diseases but generally only implemented in well equipped laboratories One of the major roadblocks for expanding PCR to point of care markets is the lack of simple robust single tube PCR designs which preserve its laboratory based high sensitivity and specificity In this F ...
