Highly scalable parallel random number generators (RNGs) will be developed, evaluated and implemented for use in high performance computing on thousands of multi-core processors and general purpose graphics processing units. The main contributions are: (a) design and implementation of new parallel test methods that capture the inter-stream correlations exhibited in practice and complement the curr ...

This STTR project seeks to develop a new manufacturing system for large-scale, low-cost production of bulk ultrafine grained (UFG) or nanostructured metals in plate, sheet or bar forms. These capabilities will be based on scale-up of a new class of machining-based processes called large strain extrusion machining (LSEM) that has been effective at creating high strength, nanoscale microstructures i ...

Many Department of Defense (DoD) sites are contaminated with contaminants of concern (CoCs) that are hazardous to humans and the environment requiring novel remediation strategies. MSE Technology Applications, Inc. and the Center for Biofilm Engineering(Montana State University) propose this Phase I STTR to develop novel, biofilm-based, remediation technologies for in situ and ex situ bioremediati ...

The measurement of physical properties of nano structures dispersed within bulk materials is challenging, as it requires high resolution, sensitivity, and a perfect deconvolution between the fingerprints of the macroscopic sample and the blueprints of nanostructures. This opportunity will exploit our experimental and theoretical results and expertise on nano structured composite materials. T ...

The objective is completion of the project, initiated in Phase I, to generate transgenic chickens capable of expressing and secreting specified proteins into the whites of eggs, allowing economical large scale production. In the Phase I effort, seventeenbirds were shown to have generated transgenic sperm as demanded by the criteria for success specified in the research protocols. This satisfies ou ...
