THIS RESEARCH PROPOSAL DEALS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GAMMARAY DOSIMETER THAT IS BASED ON A SOLID STATE DETECTOR AND A MICROPROCERSSOR AND WILL DISPLAY THE DOSE AND DOSE RATE OF THE SKIN, AT A GIVEN DEPTH OF THE BODY OR THE BODY-AVERAGED DOSE, BY MEASURING THE SPECTRUM OF A RADIATION FIELD AND CALCULATING THE TISSUE EQAUIVALENT DOSE OF INTEREST. THE DETECTOR IS A PROPRIETARY DESIGN FEATURES OF TH ...

THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A RELIABLE, SECURE METHOD FOR RETRIEVAL OF DATA FROM MOORED INSTRUMENTATION ARRAYS. THESEARRAYS, WHICH CONTAIN CURRENT METERS, TIDE GAUGES, TEMPERATURE SENSORS, AND OTHER OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTS, ACQUIRE AND STORE DATA OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS OR MONTHS AND THEN ARE RETRIEVED, THE RESTORED DATA RECOVERED, AND THE INSTRUMENTS REDEPLOYED. RETRIEVAL AND DEPLOYMENT IS AN EXP ...

COMBINING NON-PARAMETRIC IMAGE CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES WITH PATTERN AND EDGE DEFINITION ALGORITHMS CAN PRODUCE VECTORIZED (LINE) EXTRACTIONS OF LAND/WATER BOUNDARIES FROM MULTISPECTRAL IMAGE DATA SOURCES. A RESEARCH EFFORT IS PROPOSED WHICH EXAMINES DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE ENABLING AN AUTOMATED VECTORIZATION OF MAPPABLE SHORELINE FEATURES FROM A GEOCODED RASTER IMAGE DATA ...

SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATISM IN MODERN SEISMIC PRA DERIVES FROM SIMPLIFICATIONS IN GROUND-MOTION CHARACTERIZATION AT THE INTERFACE OF SEISMIC HAZARD AND FRAGILITY METHODOLOGIES. THIS CONSERVATISM ARISES BECAUSE A SINGLE COMPOSITE-MAGNITUDE, BROAD-BAND, GROUND-MOTION SPECTRUM IS USED TO DERIVE FRAGILITY FUNCTIONS, WHEREAS THE MAJORITY OF MOTIONS CONTRIBUTING TO SITE HAZARD HAVE (LESS-DAMAGING) NARROW-B ...

IN PHASE 1 AN ELECTROCHEMICAL IMMUNOBIOSENSOR WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR INEXPENSIVE, RAPID, IN-FIELD DETECTION OF BREVETOXINS IN FISH TISSUE AND MARINE SAMPLES. THE BIOSENSOR WILL BE COMPRISED OF A WORKING ELECTRODE COVERED WITH IMMOBILIZED ANTIGEN AND A REFERENCE ELECTRODE, BOTH MOUNTED IN A SYRINGE NEEDLE. TOXIN CONCENTRATION WILL BE DETERMINED BY COMPETITIVE, HETEROGENEOUS, IMMUNOASSAY; SAMPLE BREV ...

THERE ARE ONLY A FEW RADIOMETRIC STANDARDS AVAILABLE IN THE 115-350 NM WAVELENGTH REGION. AMONG THEM ARE THE ARGON MINI-ARC AND THE DEUTERIUM LAMP. BOTH LAMPS PROVIDE STABLE SOURCES OF UV/VUV RADIATION, AND CAN BE CALIBRATED BOTH IN RADIANCE AND IRRADIANCE. HOWEVER, EACH HAS DISADVANTAGES THAT LIMIT ITS USEFULNESS AS A BENCHTOP OR SPACE-QUALIFIED STANDARD. ONE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE SECONDARY RADIOM ...

THIS PROPOSAL DEALS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A GENERALIZED AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROL RADAR. IT INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO REALISTICALLY SIMULATE RADAR RETURNSFROM GROUND CLUTTER AND VARIOUS KINDS OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER. THE SIMULATION WILL ALSO REPRESENT THE EFFECT OF CLUTTER ANDWEATHER RETURN LEAKAGE THROUGH THE RADAR'S ANGLE AND RANGE SIDELOBES. THE PROPOSED SIMULATION WILL ALLOW TH ...
