DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Diffuse large B cell lymphoma DLBCL represents one of the most common variants of Non Hodgkinandapos s lymphoma NHL and oncogenic herpesviruses EBV and KSHV are the etiologic agents for the majority of these tumors in patients over or those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV Despite modest improvements in outcomes for patients rece ...

This project address the fabrication of solar blind detectors from the MgZnO material system. Both MBE and MOCVD material growth techniques will be used for deposition of the required material layers. Simulation software we be used to aid in the design of the photodetector structure. Devices will be fabricated from the grown structures and their electrical and optical characteristics determined.

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant For this Phase II STTR proposal the investigators plan to develop and commercialize the radiofrequency RF coil technology to make T body MRI possible and to translate this new technology to vastly improve T clinical MRI as well In the Phase I project leading to this proposal all specific aims were accomplished to demonstrate the feasibility of safely an ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant We propose to develop the infrastructure for and deploy a commercial installation of an Algorithm Evaluation Service AES The service will help bridge the gap between algorithm researchers and commercial product developers It will assist commercial company in determining which medical image analysis and informatics algorithms they should integrate into t ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Recreational use of prescription opioids among adolescents is a significant and growing public health concern and has been referred to as an emerging epidemic in the U S Although a number of science based interactive drug abuse prevention programs exist focused on preventing use of non prescription drugs among youth to our knowledge no science based inter ...

ABSTRACT: In this STTR phase II, HYPRES and University of California San Diego team will demonstrate a small size, weight and power, wideband (2 MHz to 2 GHz) receiver prototype based on SQUID array technology. Our SQUID array designs are based on highly linear bi-SQUID and SQUID cells arranged into a 2-dimensional (2D) array. The 2D arrays are fabricated using high-temperature superconductor I ...

We propose a rapid mapping and 3-D visualization system especially suited for inside buildings, tunnels, urban canyons, and other environments where GPS may be poor or not available. The system--which was fully demonstrated in our Phase I effort-- includes mobile Sensor Nodes that wirelessly supply compressed 3D range data and color imagery to a central Fusion Node. The Fusion Node runs 3D recon ...

ABSTRACT: This Phase II proposal will capitalize on the success of Phase I to further develop stable and optically efficient fluorescent particles that absorb and emit light in the infrared part of the spectrum and lack any visible light emissions. The specific goals of Phase II will be to further research infrared nanoparticles to increase their brightness with an emphasis on production scalabi ...
