Every soldier, Marine, airman, and sailor will be exposed to hazardous noise at some point in his or her career. One major consequence of noise exposure is tinnitus. Tinnitus can impede communication, reduce environmental and social awareness, and degrade combat performance and mission effectiveness. Tinnitus can also harm a service member’s quality of life and future employability with severe f ...

This project will develop a prototype that extends Makefully, a collaborative digital and physical multi-player puzzle-solving board game for math and computer science, with a focus on integrating music. The Phase I prototype will include additional physical and digital play modules and an adaptive component that provides feedback to students as they progress through the game to inform their learn ...

Phase II will utilize knowledge gained from phase I work to develop and execute a manufacturing process suitable for producing quantities of 3-D printed discrete circuits for radiation detection systems.  The goal is to support mobile radiation detection system requirements for high voltage, analog amplification, and MCA functionality to produce differential pulse height spectra in time sequence. ...

At the completion of the research and development effort a Li-foil multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) neutron detector with more than 625-cm2 of active area will be included in a portable radiation detection system. The system is expected to outperform the standards set by the ANSI N42.53 standards, and gamma-ray rejection ratio (GRR) of 1.0x10-8 or better. A gamma-ray spectrometer for isotope ...

Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined

At the completion of the research and development effort a Li foil multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) neutron detector with more than 625 cm^2 of active area will be included in a portable radiation detection system. The system is expected to have an intrinsic thermal neutron detection efficiency of 55% or greater and gamma-ray rejection ratio (GRR) of 1.0x10^-8 or better. A gamma-ray spectrom ...

ABSTRACT: Proposed is the development of an advanced solid state neutron spectrometer (NeuKopis) with directional resolve, building from prototype instruments that have demonstrated the art-of-the-possible. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the refined BENEFITS: Low power, solid state, compact, rugged, economical, portable

This project seeks to develop and evaluate a pilot version of the Online and Applied System for Intervention Skills – Supervision (OASIS-S) a cloud-based portal for the supervision of individuals in service fields that require post-degree supervision. Initially two modules (online and skill-based activities) will be developed for those seeking certification as behavior analysts. This system inco ...

The objective of Phase I is the preliminary design, prototype and testing of a 3D spectral imaging system for the characterization and evaluation of viability of engineered tissue for treating war injuries. The purpose is in ensuring tissue viability, maturity, vascularity to know if a construct is ready for transplantation. The hardware will consist of a widefield microscope with 3D optical sec ...

How much energy can be saved by opening a window instead of running an air conditioner? How does this affect the air quality of a home? With rising energy costs and as concern for the environment grows more widespread, the need to conserve energy resources is becoming more apparent. Although many alternative energy technologies have been introduced, these can prove to be nearly useless without the ...
