Ricin is a category B toxin due to its ease of acquisition, dissemination, and the high potential for morbidity and mortality after exposure. Ricin in semi-purified or purified form is extremely toxic to humans following injection, inhalation, or ingestion and has been used as an agent of bioterrorism. Ricin was recently detected in U.S. government facilities. There are currently no methods of pre ...

Oceanit proposes to scale-up processes for low cost obscurant materials. These processes include the development , fabrication, and testing of materials and coatings.

Moby.Read is aa tablet-based speech recognition app that grade school students use to administer oral-reading fluency assessments in real-time. The app is intended to replace face-to-face oral reading assessments done by teachers, and to save time and increase the accuracy of the assessment. Through the teacher dashboard, Moby.Read will aggregate assessment results at the class and individual stud ...

The project team will develop a platform that will facilitate design challenges in K-12 classrooms across STEM academic topics and career paths within the field of engineering. The platform will enable classes to post their projects to the site and for other classes around the country to participate in the project. Each challenge (and the associated education resources curated for that challenge) ...

Concierge is a platform for school administrators to discover and select education technology products to support school improvement. The intended users are principals, technology coaches, and curriculum directors who are responsible for selecting and implementing education technology in K–12 classrooms or schools. Concierge will include components to guide administrators through the product dis ...

Discharging nutrients such as phosphorus and ammonia to surface waters can have far reaching health and environmental impacts, including the formation of toxic algae blooms, eutrophication, and loss of water_x000D_ quality. The wastewater industry has a significant need for high-efficiency nutrient removal technologies. However, current nutrient removal treatment technologies can be costly and in ...

EP Analytics Inc. will develop and commercialize a suite of easy-to-use performance profiling and prediction tools for characterizing the performance and energy efficiency of High Fidelity computer codes. DTRA uses High Fidelity codes to investigate weapon effects phenomenology and techniques for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). End-to-end High Fidelity simulations in support of the D ...

The meteoric rise of personally identifying information (PII) created and shared online is unprecedented. The sheer volume of open source intelligence available on sites such Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, message forums, Instagram makes the task of collecting and organizing OSINT increasingly laborious for analysts. Novel technologies are largely responsible for creating these challenges, but they ...

Department of Defense (DoD) operations critically rely upon efficient, robust, resilient and secure wireless network communications. Recent emergence of stealth (silent or low-signal) attacks, such as emulating legitimate behaviors or randomizing their footprints, are difficult to detect by the conventional intrusion detection systems. Such stealth attacks can damage communication systems at diffe ...

NadirSAR offers high-resolution imaging of targets, lines of communication, and buildings in urban canyons, rough terrain and light foliage areas. This capability can bridge the gap between down-looking LIDAR sensors and side-looking microwave and foliage penetrating UHF SAR systems such as TRACER. In a previous effort for RRTO, TSC and SDL experimentally demonstrated the feasibility of X-band Nad ...
