The objective of the proposed work is to determine whether Dioxide Materials' miniature C02 sensors have the potential to be adapted for autonomous measurement of ocean carbon. The existing sensors have many advantages for measurements of ocean carbon. They are much smaller and less costly than the existing sensors, work with much smaller gas samples, and use much less power. The sensors were d ...

The goal of this project is to develop, implement, and experimentally validate a new Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) capable of providing sub-centimeter positioning accuracy for quasi-static scientific, mapping, and survey applications. The main feature of the proposed DGNSS solution is that it leverages GNSS reference data from existing NOAA's Continuously Operational Ref ...

Purpose: Instruction in English Language Arts (ELA) for students with severe intellectual disabilities and autism can be challenging, as these students often do not have the skills to engage with text. In recent years, special education experts have proposed a comprehensive approach to supporting students with intellectual disabilities and autism in ELA, centered on strategies including word ident ...

eSpark is a website that provides teachers curated playlists of tablet-based apps, videos, and assessments tailored to students’ individualized learning needs. In this project, the research team is developing a prototype of eSparkBeat, a dynamic dashboard to provide teachers useful content and resources tailored to particular classroom foci to improve instruction. The intended users of eSpark wi ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHASE I INVESTIGATION IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MULITIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS (MSP) TO PERFORM EXERCISE ON SPECIALLY MODIFIED TREADMILL IMMERSED IN COOL WATER (AQUACISER SYSTEM). THE AQUACISER SYSTEM WILL BEMODIFIED TO PROVIDE 48" (VS 40") OF WATER DEPTH, COOL (VS HOT) WATER FOR HEAT DISSIPATION AND PHYSICAL SUPPORT AP-PARATUS FOR MSP DURING VARIOUS EXERCISE INTENSITIES ...

THE J.P. LANGAN & ASSOCIATES, INC/SENTRY EQUIPMENT CORP. TEAM WILL DEVELOP TWO MODELING METHODS TO ENHANCE ILRT TESTING CONFIDENCE. WE INTEND TO ESTABLISH A MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONTAINMENT SIZE AND THE FREQUENCY DURATION BETWEEN DISCRETEDATA POINTS FOR IDEAL AUTOMATED DATAACOLLECTION AND EVALUATION. WE WILL SUPPORT THE PROPOSED APPENDIX J BY ANALYZING 20 TYPEA AND VERIFICATION TESTS ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL OF UTILIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, CELLULAR PHONE AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND IN SOME CASES ELIMINATE THE SHRINKAGE OF COLLECTED TRANSIT REVENUE THROUGH EMPLOYEE MIS-HANDLING, EMPLOYEE FRAUD, EMPLOYEE THEFT. THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED "CHEMICAL PARAMETER SPECTROMETRY" IS MODIFIED TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE SOLID, LIQUID, AND GASEOUSSAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED IN THIS WORK RESULT IN THE DESIGN FOR A PROTABLE INSTRUMENT (BLACK BOX) THAT CAN IDENTIFY VIRTUALLY ALL HAZARDOUS COMMODITIES. THE HAZARD OUS SPILLS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS PORTABLE, FULLY A YAUTOMATED, AND RUGGED. IT WILL IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS SUBS ...
