IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM SAFETY ACT OF 1990 (HMTUSA), DOT IS NOW REQUIRED TO CREATE A CENTRALIZED DATABASE OF STATE-DESIGNATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL HIGHWAY ROUTES. DOT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR PERIODICALLY UPDATING AND PUBLISHING A LIST OF CURRENLY EFFECTIVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS HIGHWAY ROUTE DESINGATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER. IN RESPONSE TO THIS NEED, AEGIS ...

We will develop an advanced lossless data compression engine for EEG, for use in telephone EEG transystems and digital EEG recording systems. While useful in rural and remote setting without ready acelectroencephalographers, and for home monitoring in selected patients with epilepsy and sleep distuavailable EEG telephone transmission systems restrict the number of channels of EEG transmitted andof ...

26-Hydroxycholesterol is a naturally occurring metabolic product derived from cholesterol. Recent isuggest that this metabolite plays a role as a feedback inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis and may bregulation of LDL receptors. The absence of 26-hydroxycholesterol has been postulated to be the molegenetic disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. The discovery that this compound is produced in vascs ...

EIFACS (Expanded Integrated Facility for Analysis of Complex Surveys) will provideepidemiologists at NIAAA and other researchers with the capability to perform valid multivariatestatistical analyses on survey data involving complex sampling designs in an easy-to-use windowed PCenvironment. Variance estimation will utilize Taylor series linearization, jackknife, and, possibly,bootstrap techniques. ...

The use of biotin labeled ligands in receptor binding assays will be used as a substitute for radioHigh affinity biotinylated ligands are used in immunochemistry studies but are not generally employebinding experiments. Biotinylated ligands also have high affinities for the proteins avidin and streproteins can be coupled with various enzymes which catalyze spectrophotometric, fluorometric, or ched ...

Current radar environment simulators do not have sufficient capability to stimulate the next generation EC and ESM receivers. These new receivers will have sensitivity levels that are significantly below the noise floor capabilities of current simulators. This proposal examines a variety of approaches to improve the performance of a radar environment simulator. It addresses the key performance a ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will integrate a FLIR model (GT-Visit), a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) model (XPatch), representative FLIR classification algorithms, and representative SAR classification algorithms along with the development of decision fusion algorithms to quantify performance benefits of additional sensor information. The performance will be measured f ...

The proliferation of both real-time and non-real time legacy models has produced a genuine problem with integrating these models effectively. Automated integration is required to permit the analyst to focus on performance and cost effectiveness analysis instead of cumbersome data manipulation. The primary objective of this Phase I effort is to produce a prototype design of an Automated Model Int ...

An attention mechanism can influence system behavior and performance only to the extent in which system resources are allocatable. A key visual resource is acuity, which is fixed in conventional uniform acuity machine vision. Foveal vision features imagers with graded acuity coupled with context sensitive sensor gaze control, analogous to that prevalent throughout vertebrate vision. Foveal syst ...
