This Phase II STTR proposal describes the development of a prototype enzyme-containing adhesive capable of attaching biocatalytic activity directly to skin. The adhesive, when containing organophosphorus-hydrolyzing enzymes, shall serve to protectunderlying skin from otherwise toxic applications of nerve agents and pesticides. Agentase, a recognized world leader in developing polymer-based carri ...

Clear Science Corp. and Syracuse University propose to design and demonstrate a closed-loop system for controlling flow separation on lifting surfaces over the transonic flight regime---offering the potential of significantly higher mission effectivenessin weapons like LOCAAS. Reduced-order models of the flow are required for control in real time, and these models must reflect the critical dyna ...

The objective of the work proposed herein is to develop innovative methodologies and techniques for the use of 3D woven composites with enhanced structural and ballistic characteristics for wide ranges of armor and structural applications. A family of 3Dintegrally woven composites, which utilizes multi-axial weave designs, have been examined and analyzed in the Phase I study. These innovative 3D ...

We propose a new way to reach a dramatic speed-up of floating gate memories by using quantum-mechanical tunneling through specially shaped (

We propose to develop dual infra-red UV solar-blind AlInGaN-based photodetectors by combining our novel Strain/Energy Band Engineering (SEBE) technology, selective area growth technique, and device passivation for the leakage current reduction with theMultiple Quantum Well design for using intersubband transitions for the infrared detection and band-to-band transitions for the UV detection.Dual an ...

Solus Biodefense and George Mason University proposes to develop an assessment battery measuring Army junior leader attributes, adaptability skills, developmental work experiences, and leadership effectiveness. Anticipated changes in the U.S. Army'soperating environment argue for the ascendant importance of leader attributes that promote complex problem solving and adaptability. The Army will al ...

ABSTRACT: Protection of first responders who are exposed to hazards including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is a very critical need. The need is derived from not only their welfare but their ability to respond, protect the community and provide logistical support to the response. A simple exposure monitor would provide critical information to the first responder and allow them to respond accor ...

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 ...
