THIS PROPOSAL IS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF UTILIZING LUMINESCENCE QUENCHING FOR MEASUREMENT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY AT TEMPERATURES FOUND IN ARCTIC ENVIRONMENTS. IT IS BASED ON THE OBSERVATION THAT CERTAIN FLUORESCENT AND PHOSPHORESCENT COMPOUNDS, IMMOBILIZED ON SPECIFIC SUBSTRATES, SHOW A LUMINESCENT RESPONSE WHOSE INTENSITY IS PROPORTIONAL TO RELATIVE HUMIDITY OR THE PROPORTION OF WATER VAP ...

THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS RESEARCH IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EASILY USABLE, NONTRAUMATIC APPARATUS FOR THE ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF BODY VOLUME IN NORMAL AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS. A SECONDARY GOAL IS THE INCLUSION OF AN ASSESSMENTOF ENERGY EXPENDITURE INTO THE SAME APPARATUS. THE METHOD PROPOSED FOR THE VOLUME DETERMINATION INCORPORATES THE PROVEN METHOD OF FLUID DISPLACEMENT BUT UTILIZES A CONCEP ...

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPACT, LOW-COST EXPIRED BREATH ANALYZER SUITABLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS IN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS, CLINICS, AND FACTORY FIRST AID STATIONS. THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS STUDY WILL BE A DETERMINATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A MICROVOLUME, LONG PATHLENGTH INFRARED GAS CELL BASED ON OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE PRINCIPLES. PHASE II WILL CONSIST OF TH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED STUDY IS TO ANALYZE THE FEASIBILITY OF MILSTAR INTEGRATION INTO THE SDI SYSTEM. THE ANALYSIS WILL ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL ROLES WHICH MILSTAR COULD SERVE AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES WHICH COULD BE ENCOUNTERED WITH SUCH A MERGER.

FABRICATION OF PROPELLANT TANKS INVOLVES COSTLY EXTENSIVE MACHINING OF THICK TI-6AL-4V FORGINGS. TWO PROMISING APPROACHES FOR TI-15V3CR-3SN AND HOT SUPERPLASTIC FORMING (SPF) OF TI-6AL-4V. SPF REQUIRES LOW FORMING PRESSURE, HAS EXCELLENT SHAPE CAPABILITY AND IS APPLICABLE TO WELL ESTABLISHED TI-6AL-4V. BUT, IT REQUIRES COSTLY TOOLING AND HEATING SYSTEMS. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM WILL INVESTIGATE A NOV ...
