Proposal title: Accurate and Rapid Measurement of Adsorption Capacity of Fly Ash in Concrete Mixtures Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEAs) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry. In Phase I, ...

ADHESIVES CURRENTLYUSED ON AIRPORT PAVEMTNS FOR LIGHTING /ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS HAVE DIFICIENCIES, AND INNOVATIVE USE OF OTHER ADHESIVE COMPOUNDS, OR MATERIALS, THAT WOULD PROVIDE IMPROVED PALCEMENT QUALITIES, AND INCREASED ADHESIONCHARATERISTICS WITH ASPHALTIC MATERIALS IS NEEDED. THIS PROPOSED PROGRAM WOULD AID IN DEFINING THE PROBLEM QUANTITATIVELY, ESTABLISH PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR THE ADH ...

It is proposed to develop a full prototype next-generation semi-flush flasher system for airport runway approach lighting. Current systems are many years old and inefficient; airports need inset flashers to add runway length and more efficiently use strictly limited land allocations. An inset flasher is proposed that is optimized both optically and electrically. A flasher fixture based on the P ...

Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEA’s) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry.In this project, a new method is suggested, which can qualitatively and quantitatively measure different surfactan ...

THIS PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF DELIVERING INTERMODAL FREIGHT DATA TO A WIDE VARIETY OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS; FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND ULTIMATELY SOME PRIVATE SECTOR USERS. THE PROJECT'S CHALLENGE IS TO MAKE DATA ACCESSIBLE IN TERMS OF THE USER'S ABILITY TO INTERACT WITH VARIOUS SOURCES AND DEPTHS OF INFORMATION AND THE SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO BE TIME RESPONSIVE. THE FACT THAT THE DATA ...

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY ACT, THERE BECAME A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF INTERMODAL AND MULTIMODAL FACILITIES WAS LIMITED. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR MANY YEARS ON APPLICATIONS WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A PACKAGE TO MOVE FROM POINT A TO POINT B BY THE MOST EFFICIENT MODE, WITH THE PURCHASER OF THE SERVICE ONLY BEING AWARE OF A ...

Commercial satellite services provide a convenient mechanism for over-the-horizon communications among ships, aircraft, and on-shore information sources. The Coast Guard has identified the potential of maritime Web and messaging (e-mail) applications implemented over commercial satellite links to subtantially increase the effectiveness of Coast Guard operations. However, there are two major impe ...

Not Available Commercial satellite services provide a convenient mechanism for over-the-horizon communications among ships, aircraft, and on-shore information sources. The Coast Guard had identified the potential of maritime Web and messaging (e-mail) applications implemented over commercial satellite links to substantially increase the effectiveness of Coast Guard operations. However, there are ...

THE COAST GUARD USED VELOCITY FIELDS FROM VARIOUS OCEAN CIRCULATION MODELS TO PROVIDE INPUT INTO TRAJECTORY MODELS WHICH ARE USED IN SEARCH PLANNING TO DETERMINE SEARCH AREA MOVEMENT. STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES (CALLED OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS), WHICH ARE APPLICATIONS OF THE GAUSS-MARKOV THEOREM, ARE USED BY THE OCEANOGRAPHIC MODELING COMMUNITY TO COMBINE OBSERVATION DATA WITH DYNAMICAL MODELS TO PROVIDE AC ...
