Domestic US aquaculture is moving toward fishmeal replacement in aquafeeds with a variety of alternative protein sources including plant-based, terrestrial and marine proteins. In our Phase I work we showed the feasibility of modifying the protein quality of several alternate protein sources, specifically animal byproduct meals, and its potential significant impacts on marine fish production. Th ...

Techshot is pleased to provide this proposal utilizing our scaffold fabrication and regenerative medicine experience together with Dr. Boland?s longstanding research interest in developing a tissue engineered vascular graft. We are proposing an off the shelf bioactive vascular graft capable of remodeling in situ to provide a long term solution to revascularization due to traumatic injury. In t ...

The need exists for a low cost, light weight, reusable, highly effective spatial insect repellant that will repel, knock down and kill disease-carrying insects. We propose a Bayer CropScience chemical product, Bayothrin (Transfluthrin) for our studies. Bayothrin is a vapor-active compound that delivers efficacy against flying arthropods. Bayothrin exhibits strong characteristics to vaporize. Th ...

The purpose of this multi-phase program is to develop an innovative all-in-one surgical instrument for performing cricothyrotomies and managing airway trauma on the battlefield, with improvements aimed at ultimately reducing mortality rates associated with these procedures. The Wolf QuickCric is designed to be a substantial improvement over the cricothyrotomy kits that are currently used by medic ...

This Phase I project will evaluate the feasibility of a pharmaceutical spray quality audit system. The spray quality audit system will estimate the mass distribution of active ingredients and droplet sizes in pharmaceutical sprays using combined fluorescence absorption and light extinction tomography. En’Urga will modify an existing instrument to simultaneously obtain full volume fluorescence ab ...

his project involves the commercialization of the breast phantom designed by NIST and University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The breast phantom consists of two independent phantoms, one focused on diffusion MRI measurements and the other focused on accurate measurements of fat and fibroglandular tissue properties. The proposed phantom is o ...
