C53-12a-271285Current electron accelerator technologies are fundamentally limited by the photoinjector, where efficient generation of electron bunches with low emittance is required. Many facilities currently use photocathode materials with excitation by high power ultraviolet pulses, which places extreme demands on system components. Therefore, photocathode materials operating in the visible spec ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is a new domestic commercial source of enriched lithium isotopes.The U.S. nuclear power industry requires enriched lithium-7 hydroxide to prevent corrosion in its present fleet of pressurized water reactors.Currently, this strategic material is supplied outside the U.S. and recent supply disruptions je ...

Project Summary As a participant in the new IDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development (I-RED) program, the goal of this proposal is to create an educational product to promote entrepreneurism and commercialization in the Mountain West region of IDeA states. The educational product and overall program are intended to address the needs of IDeA state academic institutions in developing and strengthe ...

Project Summary/Abstract The proposed effort addresses the need for novel therapeutic tools that improve chronic wound healing outcome. Recent studies show that patients with diabetic foot ulcers have a 40% recurrence rate within 1 year after treatment and healing, nearly 60% within 3 years, and 65% within 5 years, while the 5-year mortality rate is exceeded only by lung cancer. Lower limb wounds ...

Project SummaryLung cancer (LC) with over 2 million cases/year worldwide also remains the leading cause of cancer- related death in the US and Europe. Treating LC remains challenging due to ~60% of patients presenting with Stage IV disease, the heterogeneity of tumors with respect to genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that alter gene expression, and treatment-related resistance. Combining chemother ...

Emerging Technology Ventures Inc. (ETV) and its research and development (Ramp;D) partners, Navajo Technical University (NTU) and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT), proposed to develop and demonstrate a ldquo;Digital Twin (DT) Data Acquisition System for Institutional Facility Managementrdquo;. The innovation addresses Industry 4.0 digital transformation initiatives in Building I ...

Groundwater represents about a third of global water withdrawals, and approximately half of global irrigation water. In many arid and semi-arid regions, groundwater is rapidly being depleted, which is affecting agricultural productivity over the long term. The over-exploitation of groundwater due to the current drought episode in South-Western U.S. has already led farmers to fallow hundreds of tho ...

Solstar’s Critical Data Relay Spacecraft Operational Status (CritDR-SOS), aka Deke, unit integrates with a spacecraft’s Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) system to provide first-ever bi-directional, continuous, internet-based monitoring of the spa

This program addresses the Space Force need for an improved optical system to provide persistent location and change detection monitoring of GEO-belt satellite orbits.  The RSOs (Resident Space Objects) can be in either stable and unstable orbits, and oft

MCT Industries, Inc. and our DAF User, the 509 Civil Engineering Squadron EOD Flight at Whiteman AFB, have cohesively performed the Phase I due diligence feasibility study of the innovative MCT Custom Platform Nuclear Response Trailer (NRT), a tailored, r
