Human social interaction is complicated by ambiguous identities, misinformation, misdirection, and flexible alliances. Additionally, thanks to the internet, authors can post messages from anywhere in the world, in diverse forms, and with different personas. Current solutions are challenged to accurately identify and characterize authors across platforms and data types, let alone infer authorial in ...

Project Summary Enabling high accuracy nanopore based strand sequencing has the potential to improve the understanding of long range genomic relationships and processes andbased on its accessibilityenable the associated clinical and diagnostic applicationsthe fastest growing sequencing sectorUnfortunatelyit is commonplace for nanopore sequencing error rates to exceedand higher accuracy is needed t ...

Grid-tied energy storage systems provide stabilization to the electric grid that is necessary to accommodate the growing percentage of electricity generated by intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Existing conversion systems between the storage media and the utility lines are large, costly and only 95%-98% energy efficient. In this ARPA-E project, Opcondys, Inc. will build ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Cardiac valve repair or replacement is indicated when progression of degenerative disease or bacterial infection of the native valve results in valvular dysfunction, thereby impacting cardiac output. Both procedures require the use of a woven or knitted polyester material with an internal reinforcement (Teflon, silicone or metal) to either stabilize the native valve (annuloplasty r ...

7. Project Summary/Abstract We propose to develop a Biological Small-angle X-ray Scattering (BioSAXS) station for the Compact Light Source, a powerful new generation of X-ray sources, which will enable biologists and biochemists to pursue state-of-the-artresearch in macromolecular structure studies in their own laboratories. The frontier of structural biology is the determination of large macromol ...

Rugged, comfortable and reliable physiological monitoring systems are required to allow military commanders and medical personnel to assess the basic health and readiness of the warfighter. Direct monitoring of the health and status of individual warfight

The purpose of the proposed project is to produce a commercial abrasive blasting nozzle which is more efficient and quieter than a typical commercially-available nozzle. The nozzle will decrease labor hours needed for blasting processes in shipbuilding, decrease workers compensation claims due to hearing loss, and relieve environmental noise restrictions on blasting at shipyards. All of this will ...
