DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from Applicant's Abstract) Malaria is a disease which affects more than 300 million people each year and is fatal for 1.5 million. The overall objective of this STTR Phase I project is to produce a cGMP malaria vaccine consisting of the 42 kDa C-terminal polypeptide of P. falciparum merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP1.42) to be formulated with ...

INTACT is an embedded tool to reduce operator workload un ccomples, information-rich, multi-task operational envbironments as well as an embedded coach for simulation based training. The coach is intended to ensure that a student is able to completesimulated mission task correctly, even when unsupervised during extracurtricular practice sessions.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Every year millions of hearing tests are conducted in the U.S. for a variety of reasons, including diagnosis of ear disease, evaluation of communicative function, monitoring effects of noise and ototoxic medications. prospective research studies, and fitting of hearing aids. Although there is a "standard" hearing test method, th ...

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract) Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent loss of motor function and control of function below the level of the injury. A significant portion of the loss is due to secondary factors rather than the initial trauma. These factors include increased extracellular concentrations of glutamate which ha ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cocaine abuse remains a grave concern for the American, and increasingly the world, population. As no current therapeutic agents are available to assist cocaine addicts in achieving and maintaining abstinence it is important that new pharmacotherapies be developed. One important question not usually addressed in the development ...

DESCRIPTION (Scanned from the applicant's description): The proposed study involves an evaluation of the dose response to recombinant human CC10 in the preterm lamb, a surfactant-dependent model of neonatal/infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). The preterm lamb model was used in the clinical development of artificial surfactants for the treatment of I ...

In Phase I, Conducting Materials Corp, (CMC) proposed to fabricate stabilized nanoscale Li-Al ally particles and to understand their kinetic behavior by theoretical modeling. The unique properties of nano Li-Al alloy particles would increase energy outputon explosion as it will react completely and improve the burn rate. CMC fabricated nano particles of Li-Al alloy, stabilized and characterized ...

A new class of organic photovoltaics is proposed based on star conducting polymers. These materials will provide superior hole and/or electron transfer properties that determine the ultimate efficiency of the devices. The star polymer architecture employslinear conjugated arms radiating from a centrosymmetric core, and therfore, unlike the linear arms alone, facilitate carrier transport in three d ...
