New environmental regulations have identified many of the currently used oxidizing agents employed for industrial waste control, disinfection, and wastewater treatment as a caveat that must be addressed. Ferrate has potential for becoming the alternative of choice because of its aggressive oxidation properties and its negligible impact on the environment. However, there has been little industrial ...

Dynaflow, Inc., proposes the development of a novel jet-induced cavitation process for the removal of various pollutants¿including pesticides from wastewater discharge¿ that would be economical, readily applicable to both large- and small-scale systems, and that does not produce potentially hazardous by-products of chlorination and ozonation. Ultrasonically induced cavitation is known to be capa ...

The goal of this project is to develop a portable system for the real-time detection and quantification of adenovirus in wastewater. The system is based on a small, portable flow cytometer that was developed and is being marketed by Becton Dickinson Biosciences (BDB) under the trade name FACSCount¿ for use in selected medical and research applications. Unlike previous efforts to apply flow cytome ...

Not Available The purpose of the proposed research is to show that significant improvements in the performance of electrically tunable microwave devices can be obtained using a novel type of superlattice structures. The approach is based on recent work at Neocera showi

Not Available NASA SBIR Solicitation 98-1 emphasizes that ¿Advanced extravehicular activity (EVA) systems are necessary for the successful support of future human space missions.¿ Topic 09.05 recognizes that development of advanced EVA systems depends on ¿methods for..

Not Available Mod Works proposes to construct major airframe components using modern aluminum manufacturing process (MAM). The objective will be to reduce the cost of manufacturing while maintaining better surface quality. Major reduction in cost and labor requirement

Not Available There is rapid growth in the amount of remotely sensed (RS) image data. All future NASA and commercial remote sensing projects will have to deal with databases of unprecedent size and complexity. Providing an effective information link between these vast

A novel, environmentally benign antimicrobial surface modification based on immobilized quaternary ammonium-functionalized dendrimers is proposed for the prevention of biofilm formation. Dendrimers are unique nanomaterials that have attracted attention as possible antimicrobial agents due to their compact structure, high local charge density of functional surface groups, unique carrier properties, ...

Not Available The proposed work involves a new unstructured macro-cell algorithm for computational aeroacoustics (CAA), which may be two to three orders of magnitude more efficient than most current methods. The unstructured macro-cell algorithm has features of both st
