HJ Science & Technology, Inc. proposes a portable microfluidic automation technology capable of rapid and real time detection and identification of microcystins and other toxins produced by freshwater cyanobacteria (cyanotoxins). During blooms, many cyanotoxins in freshwater are known to cause damage to liver or damage to nerve axons and synapses. Though not strictly regulated, the EPA recommends ...

There are approximately 7,000 flares in operation at industrial facilities across the U.S. Flares are one of the largest Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and air toxics emissions sources. Based on a special emission inventory required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 2007, highly reactive VOC emissions from 28 flares located in 11 facilities in Harris County, Texas, where 1,46 ...

Baldwin Environmental Inc. (BEI) successfully completed an SBIR Phase I project that demonstrated the feasibility of designing and producing a Fine and Coarse Particulate Monitoring System (FCPMCEMS). This system simultaneously measures and reports mass concentrations of fine and coarse particulate material using Atmospheric Dispersion Simulation and Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM). A design a ...

In Phase I of this research project, Baldwin Environmental, Inc. (BEI) successfully demonstrated the feasibility of designing and producing a Fine and Coarse Particulate Monitoring Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (FCPMCEMS). This system simultaneously measures and reports mass concentrations of fine and coarse particulate material using atmospheric dispersion simulation (ADS) a ...

This project will demonstrate the feasibility and practicaity of applying beta attenuation monitors (BAM) to quantify hourly concentrtions of PM2.5 (particoes

Baldwin Environmental, Inc., will demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of applying beta attenuation monitors (BAMs) to quantify hourly concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5; particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 μm) and coarse PM (PM10-2.5; particles with aerodynamic diameters between 2.5 μm and 10 μm) in diluted extracts from stacks at hazardous waste combustors ...

Not Available This phase I proposal addresses fabrication and characterization of nanoscale Si MOSFETs on Si-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. A novel approach based on multiple channel gate arrays is proposed to improve radiation-tolerance against SEU events, and achieve low-threshold voltage operation. At nanoscale (
