An interactive application that employs social interactions to teach key social conventions, including appropriate responses, reacting to body language and facial expressions, and the ability to ask for help to facilitate functioning in society

The overall goal of this proposed program (through Phase III) is to provide the EPA with a chemical sensor thatn can be multiplerxed into water distributon systems to provide early warning of poisoned water supples. This will be accomplished by developing surface-enhanced Raman (SER) sensors than can be integrated into water supply systems and coupled to a central Paman analyzer via fiber optics. ...

AN ATTRACTIVE POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE TO CURRENT HAZARDOUS ORGANICS INCINERATORS IS THE CATALYTICALLY STABILIZED THER- MAL (CST) COMBUSTOR. EXPLORED IN THE LATE 1970'S (WITH EPA FUNDING) AS A COMBUSTION SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE GAS TURBINE NOXEMISSIONS, THE CST COMBUSTOR USES CATALYTIC SURFACE REAC- TIONS TO STABILIZE GAS PHASE COMBUSTION, COMBINING HIGH GAS PHASE REACTION RATES WITH THE LEAN BURN CAPABI ...

OZONE IS A VALUABLE ALTERNATE TO CHLORINE FOR THE DISINFECTION OF WASTEWATER AND WATER. IT GENERATES NO CHLORINATED ORGANICS AND LEAVES NO RESIDUALS HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH OR TOXIC TO MARINE LIFE. THE OZONE REACTS THROUGH FREE RADICAL OR POLAR MECHANISMS UNDER WATER TREATMENT CONDITIONS DEPENDING ON PH AND OTHER FACTORS. THE MECHANISM OF BACTERIAL DISINFECTION IS NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD. THE OZ ...

A GROWING NATIONAL NEED EXISTS FOR COMPUTER WORK STATIONS WHICH INTEGRATE MANUAL DATA BASE PREPARATION FUNCTIONS FOR INCREASED ACCURACY, CONTROL AND PRODUCTIVITY. THESE WORK STATIONS COULD INCORPORATE DISABLED INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM A VARIETY OF HANDICAPS INTO THE WORK PROCESS. THE RESEARCH IS DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING BETTER USE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND PLACEMEN ...
