In this project, the team will develop a prototype of GoWrite, a platform designed for students with moderate to severe disabilities to guide instruction in writing. The cross-curricular intervention will have four modes including instruction, writing about academic content, journaling, and social media. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 30 students (10 each in grade school, middle scho ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

The goal of this SBIR project is to demonstrate a general and scalable plug-and-play query-based solution to CAD-CAE and CAE-CAE interoperability problems. The approach is based on the following two observations: (1) the geometric, topological, and material information in any CAD model may be abstracted by a finite collection of queries -- formally defined and algorithmically implemented computabl ...

As integrated circuit dimensions shrink and U.S. fabrication facilities age, U.S. ASIC developers are increasingly turning to overseas foundries for the latest process nodes in device fabrication.This migration is especially impactful for DoD designers as critical military technology needs to be trusted and offshore fabrication has the potential to expose chips to malice during manufacture.Sensiti ...

The objective of this proposal is to further explore and refine the use of hydrogen based propellants for use in high velocity gun systems. This proposal will build on the ongoing and very novel research being conducted with direct combustion of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at high initial pressures. While the research performed to date has demonstrated the performance potential inherent in this app ...

Current cooling systems are limited by the heat carrying capacity of the fluid, which is in turn limited by the pumping technology to move the fluid. This proposal allows a much higher heat capacity in the fluid, due to allowing the fluid to go from a 5% to 95% quality within the cooling circuit, which is enabled by an innovative and unique pumping technology that will be developed in this proposa ...

SED Technology LLC proposes a feasibility study to determine if the proposed theory that IR can potentially answer the requirement of providing a 3-factor authentication capability. The proposed capability will allow continuous identification and can interact with computers on a periodic or on request basis to validate the identity of the soldier in MOPP 4 with no interference with mission accompl ...

The accelerating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is an increasing public health problem. While the emergence of resistant strains is unavoidable, it is exacerbated by the widespread use, inappropriate prescription and misuse of antibiotics. Development of new antibiotics is slow and costly. One alternative to antibiotics is the development of antimicrobials that target the bac ...

Many sensors have been and are being deployed to detect the activities of malicious insiders and enable attribution to the proper individuals. The ADAMS program attempts to utilize the activity evidence captured by these sensors to proactively anticipate forthcoming malicious behavior by detecting the precursors of that malicious behavior. We will facilitate this goal by developing a specialize ...

Underwater, high-speed vehicles present several design challenges. Along with the many cavity/hydrodynamic issues are included: propulsion, control, energy density, and navigation. In addition to an underwater high-speed vehicle design, this proposal describes the development of an air phase high-speed munition concept (HSM) that employs a single watery entry event. For relative shallow depth a ...
