To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

To reduce size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-c), military platforms have been evolving towards more integrated platforms that utilize all available space. For radiating systems, this will require exploring innovative design methods, materials and manufacturing approaches to realize cost-effective, customizable and conformal antennas. An attractive solution to this challenge is offered by additive ...

This project aims to develop a low-cost millimeter-wave (mmW) imaging system for ground vehicles, to operate in combination with a long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera. Such a system will mitigate the challenges of driving in degraded visual environments (DVE) including night time, fog, dust, or smoke by providing real-time image of the vehicle surrounding independent from the presence of naturally oc ...

Warfighters responsible for planning and conducting A2/AD entry operations need up-to-date, high-quality information within dynamic littoral zones. We plan to develop an easily deployable day-night measurement capability to measure bathymetry, topography, currents and water surface temperature in near real-time from sensors and computing capabilities housed within a small rotary UAS. For decades i ...

RESEARCH IS PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MAKING A NOVEL NON-METALLIC, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE AND ELECTRICALLY EFFICIENT ANODE FOR USE IN A MEMBRANE ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCE PROCESS FOR TH ELECTRO-OCIDATION OF CHROMIUM III, IN PROCESSLIQUORS, TO USEABLE CHROMIUM VI COMPOUNDS. AN EFFICIENT ECONOMICAL ANODE WOULD MAKE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL USE OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS THAT C ...

IT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT TO CONDUCT FEASIBILITY RESEARCH ON HIGHLY SENSITIVE DETECTION SYSTEMS SUITABLE FOR FIELD MONITORING OF COMPONENTS FOUND IN WATER IN THE LOW, PART PER BILLION LEVELS. THESE ASSAY SYSTEMS, BASED ON ENZYME CYCLING TECHNIQUES, WILL THEN BE INCORPORATED INTO AN IMMUNOLOGICAL ASSAY FORMAT. THE MODEL SYSTEM SELECTED FORTHIS STUDY IS P-DICHLORBENZENE. THIS COMPOUND IS F ...

THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO DEVELOP A BIOREGENERATING SYSTEM CONSISTING OF AN ADSORBENT, SELECTED MICROORGANISMS, AND A COMMON HOUSE PLANT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY REMOVING A VARIETY OF COMMON ORGANIC VOLATILE COMPOUNDS COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED IN THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT. PROPOSED STUDIES WILL EVALUATE AND COMPARE BOTH NATURAL AND SYNTHETICADSORBENTS, VARIOUS MICROORGANISMS, AND VARIOUS DE ...

MILITARY PERSONNEL ARE AT RISK TO VARIOUS FORMS OF GASTROENTERITIS AS THEY ARE TRANSFERRED TO PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE CONDITIONS FAVOR CONTAMINATION OF FOOD OR WATER WITH THE CAUSATIVE AGENTS. MANY OF THESE FORMS OF GASTROENTERITIS ARE SELF LIMITING, BUT VIBRIO CHOLERAE IS THE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF A SEVERE FORM OF GASTROENTERITIS WHICH CAN BE FATAL IF UNTREATED. IT IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT TO DE ...
