Abstract Chronic kidney disease CKD is a progressive disorder affecting almost of the general population and this disease has shown a relentless growth over the past decades Patients with CKD have higher rates of hospitalization greater mortality shorter life expectancy and their healthcare costs are up to times more expensive than non CKD patients Thus treatments to slow halt ...

Project Summary Atrophic dry age related macular degeneration AMD is the leading cause of severe loss of vision for those over age Dietary supplements containing lutein and zeaxanthin are recommended by the NEI for those at risk of late AMD There has been a corresponding growth in demand for these two xanthophylls Lutein and zeaxanthin are currently sourced from marigolds grown mostl ...

PROJECT SUMMARY This application for a Phase I SBIR award represents a collaboration between Clinitech LLC and McLean Hospital Harvard Medical School to develop a wearable biosensor for detecting alcohol in the interstitial fluid of humans who have consumed alcohol Excessive use of alcohol accounts for much of the public health burden related to alcohol use disorders including fetal ...

Hyperion Technology Group Inc. (Hyperion) in an effort to address the needs laid out in the solicitation A16-112 titled Next Generation Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (IPDU) for Tactical Microgrids plans to develop an intelligent power distribution system that will make tactical microgrids more robust, while reducing fuel consumption. The key advantage of the Hyperion proposed approach to an ...

Warfighters responsible for planning and conducting A2/AD entry operations require up-to-date, high-quality information within dynamic littoral zones. We plan to develop an easily deployable day-night measurement capability to accurately measure bathymetry, topography, currents and water surface temperature in near real-time from sensors and small computing capabilities housed within small multi-r ...

SciGenesis will apply its FR-technology to nylon-only and nylon/cotton (50/50) blended yarns to demonstrate the feasibility of this technological platform at the individual yarn stage (i.e. pre-woven). The unique FR chemistry that SciGenesis has developed encompasses char promoting agents, heat reflective particles, Lewis-acid catalysts and a laundering durable binding system. Implementing this ...

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies

Mountain descent test procedures that replicate conditions found in severe mountain environments are essential in identifying the limitations of current and future vehicle systems. Current tests have failed to reproduce these severe, realistic conditions resulting in deficiencies in overall vehicle performance. In Phase I a prototype Brake Fade Advance Warning System (BFAWS) and mountain descent r ...

This Phase II STTR effort is focused on generating the data necessary to identify the phenomenology that produces carbon deposition within kerosene film cooled rocket engines.This data is essential to guide the model development and validation process.Program outputs will be both data and a physics-based model for carbon deposition.
