Because of its high sensitivitypolymerase chain reactionPCRis the gold standard for the diagnosis of many infectious diseasesbut generally only implemented in well equipped laboratoriesOne of the major roadblocks for expanding PCR to point of care markets is the lack of simplerobustsingle tube PCR designs which preserve its laboratory based high sensitivity and specificityIn this Fast Track STTR a ...

The Air Force has identified a need for a display agnostic common streaming model for 3D data. Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have formed a consortium to define a 3D streaming model based on open standards for Display Agnostic 3D Streaming (DA3DS). Two factors are driving this need. The first is the dramatic increase in the collection, storage and trans ...

Project Summary Abstract We have developed a nutritional formulation of amino acids called UpBeat that is designed to promote physical function and quality of life in older individuals with heart failureReduced exercise capacity is a prominent clinical feature of heart failureThis leads to progressive muscle weakness and a vicious cycle of sedentary behaviorweight gainand subsequent development of ...

Space platforms are complex dynamical systems and there are many reasons to model them from ground telescope imagery as well as from space-based sensor platforms. One key motivation is to determine the operational state and configuration of the vehicle. Key questions such as did the solar panels fail to deploy, did the object begin to tumble unexpectedly may be addressed by a sufficiently detaile ...
