EMERGING FIFTH-GENERATION EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS ARE INCREASING THE FLOW OF INFORMATION BETWEEN THE STUDENT AND THE INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEM TO LEVELS NEVER BEFORE POSSIBLE. ONE GROUP OF FIFTH-GENERATION SYSTEMS, CONCEPTUALLY DESCENDED FROM GRAPHICS-BASED SIMULATORS, USES VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) TECHNOLOGY TO CAPTURE MOTOR RESPONSES AND ALTER A SIMULATED WORLD ACCORDINGLY. A SECOND GROUP, CO ...

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT IN NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE). INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONSOFTEN REQUIRE VERY HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION. HOWEVER, THE FINITE WIDTH OF X-RAY SAMPLING LIMITS THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION. THE RESEARCH TO BE CARRIED OUT HERE WILL INVESTIGATE AN EFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL METHOD TO DECONVOLVE THE BEAM WIDTH FROM THE PROJECTION DATA WITHOUT INCREASING THE ...

THE CONTROL OF TERMITES IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PRINCIPAL METHODS OF WOOD PRESERVATION ARE INORGANIC ARSENIC COMPOUNDS, PENTACHLOROPHENOL AND CREOSOTE. THESE AGENTS APPEAR TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS, INCLUDING CARCINOGENIC. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH HASREVEALED THAT THE HEARTWOOD AND LEAF COMPONENTS OF THE JUNIPERS (JUNIPERUS) HAVE VERY HIGH TERMITICIDAL ACTIVITIES. THE PROPOS ...

THERE IS A LARGE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR BIOSENSORS IN THE CLINICAL AND HEALTH CARE FIELDS AND FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESS MONITORING. OFTEN BIO-SENSORS REQUIRE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES THAT ARE CONFINED TO THE SKILLED OPERATOR ANDTHUS ARE UNSUITABLE FOR MANY PURPOSES OUTSIDE THE ANALYTICALLABORATORY. A NOVEL SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION METHOD IS DESCRIBEDTHAT COULD LEAD TO SIMPLIFIED MONOCLONAL ANTIBOD ...
