The objective of the proposed program is to develop a portable, low-cost, label-free (reagentless), microarray system capable of near real-time simultaneous detection and identification of multiple analytes (bacteria, viruses, spores, toxins) with high sensitivity and low false alarm rate. Notably, the system will be capable of detection/identification of agents on the basis of protein and/or nuc ...

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 ...

A PROPOSAL IS PRESENTED HEREIN TO INITIATE AN ANALYTIC STUDY OF THE FLOW FIELD RESULTING FROM THE INTERACTION OF AN UNSTEADY SHOCK WAVE WITH THE GROUND AND ABOVE GROUND STRUCTURES. THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THIS ANALYSIS WILL BE TWOFOLD, (1) PREDICT THE PRESSURE PULSE ON STRUCTURES AND (2) PREDICT THE FLOW FIELD DUE TO THE PROPAGATION OF A SHOCK WAVE ALONG THE GROUND AND THE RESULTANT DUST ENTRAINMENT ...
