DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Children with ADHD are at significant risk for failing to complete high school and as many as 25 percent develop chronic patterns of antisocial behavior that persist into adulthood. Primary care providers--the practitioners who evaluate and treat the vast majority of children with ADHD--often fail to uti ...

The purpose of this project is to design, develop, and evaluate an Intergrated Media Intervention (IMI) that will assist teachers, school counselors, group facilitators and related personnel to foster the development of age-appropriate social problem-solving skills by children and adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders such as ADHD, ODD, and CD. The IMI is a package of classroom implement ...

Accurate Automation Corporation is proposing the development of a plasma limiter for the protection of sensing electronic equipment from high power EM radiation. The Limiter is essentially a self-breaking, fine-point, electrode placed within the receivingtransmission line. In Phase I, AAC will begin development and testing of the concept in an S-band resonant ring located at Texas Tech University. ...

DESCRIPTION: This research proposes to evaluate the use of urinary bladder-extracellular matrix (UBM-ECM) for the repair of diseased mucogingival tissue. Cells harvested from either attached gingiva or buccal mucosa will be used to seed either of these substrates and the resulting engineered tissue will ultimately be tested for their histogenic potential in ...

DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): This Phase I SBIR application seeks support to develop and evaluate a naturally-occurring extracellular matrix (ECM) bioscaffold material for tissue engineering applications; specifically, the repair and/or restoration of congenital defects in which lost or missing tissue is the limiting factor for s ...

DESCRIPTION (Unedited Applicant's Abstract):When people with diabetes reach end-stage renal disease they must undergo either dialysis or transplantation. About 200,000 Americans need artificial kidney machines to stay alive. These machines rely on sterile dialysis membranes to remove toxic materials from the bloodstream. More than 30 different polymers or polymer blen ...

The overall goal of the proposed program is to provide military personnel with a hand-held analyzer capable of detecting chemical and biological agents, as well as toxic industrial chemicals. This will be accomplished through the use of a newnanocomposite material (metal-doped sol-gel) that enhances analyte specific Raman signals sufficiently to allow identifying and quantifying agents at relevan ...
