We propose to develop a prototype of a novel spintronic spectrum analyzer using arrays of nano-scale magnetic spin-torque detectors. The operation of the proposed spectrum analyzers is based on the recently discovered effects of spin-transfer torque and spin-diode effects in nano-scale magnetic multilayered elements, the fabrication of which became possible due to the recent advances in nano-fa ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Hazardous compounds in waters and soils are subject to a complex dynamic web of interactions among physical chemical and biological constituents in the natural environment Computational modeling has been proven indispensable to hazardous substances remediation particularly integrated modeling of pollutant hydrogeological fate and transport For the first t ...

This Phase I STTR project will develop a platform to demonstrate high-quality, multi-modal acquisition of neurophysiological signals, including EEG, heart rate/blood oxygenation via photoplethysmography (PPG), electrodermal (EDA) activity, temperature plus environmental factors such as ambient light and sound in a simple, wearable headband. The hardware will be coupled with the development of a cl ...

Current scene projection hardware is challenged to simultaneously meet the requirements for high peak temperature (> 2000K), high resolution (2Kx2K), response time < 4 ms, cryogenic and temporally uniform photon flux. MEMS, Resistor arrays, liquid cr...

We propose to develop a set of multiscale modeling tools for structural energetic materials (SEMs) that explicitly treat microscale, mesoscale and macroscale coupling of mechanical response, thermal properties and chemical reactions.At the macroscale, a combined material point method (MPM, solid)/Eulerian (ICE, fluid) methodology, MPM-ICE, will be employed to investigate the behavior of select Al/ ...

An experiment to obtain validation data on the transient aerothermoelastic response of a curved panel in hypersonic flows will be designed and evaluated for its feasibility. Significant challenges must be overcome for a successful experimental campaign i...

The Air Force is interested in developing technology that would enable long duration hypersonic flight with reusable aircraft. Hypersonic flow presents many design challenges that can be encapsulated into an aerothermoelastic problem, i.e., a complex dyn...

This program will demonstrate how additive manufacturing technologies can be used with reactive and high energy materials to create rapid and flexible fabrication of payload and munitions. Our primary approach to this problem will be to use powder bed binder printing techniques to print reactive structures. The anticipated feedstock will consist of composite particles containing all reactant spe ...

PARP inhibitors PARPi are particularly efficacious in tumors deficient in the BRCA tumor suppressor genes but of limited activity in BRCA competent tumors There is an unmet medical need to develop targeted therapeutic agents which will augment PARPi activity for BRCA wild type cancers and to increase chemo radiosensitivity in these malignancies BRCA proteins are essential components ...
