ALTHOUGH MARKET DEMAND IS HIGH AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE COST SAVINGS EXIST, YOUR BOTTLENECKS TO USING MICROCOMPUTER ADMINISTRATIVE/IMS PACKAGES ARE: (A) THE INABILITY OF "CANNED" PACKAGES TO MEET SPECIFIC LEA NEEDS; AND (B) THE HIGH COST OF PACKAGES CUSTOMIZED BY DEVELOPERS TO MEET LEA NEEDS. USER-FRIENDLY MINI-AUTHORING PROGRAMS OFFER UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEA'S TO CUSTOMIZE GENERAL PACKAGE ...

THERMAL DESTRUCTION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE IN CONTAMINATED SOIL IS THE ONLY KNOWN METHOD OF PERMANENTLY MANAGING THIS THREAT TO GROUNDWATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, THE COST ARE SO HIGH THAT TEMPORARY STORAGE HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THOSE SITES WHERE CLEAN-UP HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRETREATMENT TECHNIQUES TO MARKEDLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CONTAMINATED SOIL WHICH ...

THE RADIOBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS FROM INITIAL AND LINGERING AIRBORNE AND SURFACE FALLOUT NUCLEAR RADIATION ARE KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONUS POSTATTACT STRATEGIC RECOVERY OPERATIONS PLANNING. IN THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WE INTEND TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM THE DNA INTERME DIATE DOSE PROGRAM (IDP) AND PROVIDE A TIMELY UPDATE OF THE SCOPE OF RADIOBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON INDIVIDUALS ASSUMING VARIOUS ROLE ...

A PROPOSAL IS PRESENTED HEREIN TO INITIATE AN ANALYTIC STUDY OF THE FLOW FIELD RESULTING FROM THE INTERACTION OF AN UNSTEADY SHOCK WAVE WITH THE GROUND AND ABOVE GROUND STRUCTURES. THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THIS ANALYSIS WILL BE TWOFOLD, (1) PREDICT THE PRESSURE PULSE ON STRUCTURES AND (2) PREDICT THE FLOW FIELD DUE TO THE PROPAGATION OF A SHOCK WAVE ALONG THE GROUND AND THE RESULTANT DUST ENTRAINMENT ...

APPLIED RESEARCH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING THE ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR CONFLICT SCENARIOS. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE EFFECTS OF AEROSOLS INJECTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE BY NUCLEAR DETONATION AND THE ASSOCIATED FIRES. THESE EFFECTS WILL BE EXPLORED, USING A MULTI-COMPONENT SIMULATION CONSISTING OF THE FOLLOWING EXISTING COMPUTER CODES: - A ...

Many emergency cricothyrotomy kits have been developed in an attempt to simplify this potentially life-saving medical procedure. However, none of the existing kits perform noticeably better than the standard surgical kit. The standard kit itself has led

Large medical centers can overwhelm patients - for example, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center covers over 2.4 million square feet of clinical space - yet the primary objective for these facilities is to provide patient satisfaction with the healthcare services. A Virtual Concierge application is being proposed to help guide the patients throughout their entire visit at the medical faci ...
