A web based pharmacist training programand a patient centric decision support systemDSSfor pharmacies to implement risk reduction services for persons who inject drugsPWIDThe software will be interoperable with pharmacy and EHR systemsand generate tailored harm reduction counseling for PWIDA patient centric approach to decision support has the potential of improving the level of detail and accurac ...

Numerous adverse symptoms are under-detected in cancer care resulting1-3 in missed opportunities for intervention; leading to poor treatment adherence, avoidable hospitalizations, and worse morbidity and survival. The IOM proposed shaking up the current symptom paradigm from reactive to proactive, personalized, technology-enabled models of symptom care as a solution to this clinical quality crisis ...

The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a human-readable liquid ticket to improve detection of CWAs and other threat agents; and evaluate its sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility to develop a new detection method that compares favorably against the existing M8/M9 paper. iSense has successfully demonstrated capability in developing customized indicator arrays for detection of T ...

SUMMARY Although solid tumors oftentimes arise from the uninhibited growth of a single aberrant cellthe population of cells within a tumor are genetically and molecularly heterogenousThis makes it very difficult to evaluate a therapy s efficacy when using bulk population measurementsFurthermorerecent research has implicated microRNAsmiRNAsas drivers of progression and malignancy in many tumor type ...

Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is seeking affordable turbo-generator technology combinations that improve Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) without compromising the reliability, noise, and power-to-weight advantages inherent to turbo-machinery.Recuperation offers 30%-50% reduction in SFC; however, three basic challenge areas of weight, durability, and cost have prevented widespread adoption in p ...

Attempts to reuse modern graphical software applications are met with difficulty because avionics applications are typically developed with a specific platform in mind; in these instances, portability is an afterthought. This proposal provides a solution for prioritizing and maximizing the reuse of graphical avionics systems by detailing an innovative software development process and reference arc ...

Demonstrate the feasibility of leveraging open standards commercially available technologies to develop hardware and waveform for the Next-Generation Encrypted Aircraft Wireless Intercom System (NG-EAWIS). A trade study will be performed between 802.11n (MIMO) and LTE to determine which waveform will meet performance specification in a high EMI environment. The proposed solution is a low risk appr ...

PROJECT SUMMARY The Farzan laboratory has developed what appears to be an effective way to prevent HIVinfectionThis approach combines eCDIgan exceptionally broad and potent HIVentry inhibitorwith an adenoassociated virusAAVdelivery systemFor more than a year after a one time intramuscular inoculation with AAV eCDIgrhesus macaques were protected against multiple high dose intravenous challenges wit ...

In prior research and development, the developers created Tyto Online, an online multiplayer sandbox game where middle school students engage in quests to apply life science learning. This project will extend the game by developing a prototype for the Earth and Space science domain, with a prototype including quests for the Climate and Weather topic aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NG ...

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 ...
