DESCRIPTION ( provided by applicant): The ECIS/taxis technology can detect cells that move to a small electrode through an agarose matrix by the resistance that they impart to an electrical circuit as they cover parts of the small electrode. This system is amenable to rapid throughput analysis of cell behavior in the presence of chemokines and other agents that ...

Clear Science Corp. and Syracuse University propose to design and demonstrate a closed-loop system for controlling flow separation on lifting surfaces over the transonic flight regime---offering the potential of significantly higher mission effectivenessin weapons like LOCAAS. Reduced-order models of the flow are required for control in real time, and these models must reflect the critical dyna ...

The proposed research intends to design and build an instrument of accurately measure centrally located pathological areas of non-vision, or central scotomas, within the 30 to 60 degrees field of vision. The new device is intended to serve as a supplement to commercially available automatic perimeters, which are known to be inaccurate when retinal defects are confined to the central field of visi ...

We propose a new way to reach a dramatic speed-up of floating gate memories by using quantum-mechanical tunneling through specially shaped (

DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from Applicant): The objective of this Phase I protocol is to develop a novel approach for the repair of articular cartilage using gene enhanced tissue engineering (GETE). Successful clinical repair of articular cartilage continues to be elusive. The current study seeks to repair articular cartilage defects using constructs containing cultured perio ...

ABSTRACT: Protection of first responders who are exposed to hazards including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is a very critical need. The need is derived from not only their welfare but their ability to respond, protect the community and provide logistical support to the response. A simple exposure monitor would provide critical information to the first responder and allow them to respond accor ...

ABSTRACT: Most cross-domain information flows require some human intervention to ensure that the requirements for releasability are met. Such intervention is expensive and slow, and can form a bottleneck in operations. Unfortunately, fully automated sharing of information across security domain boundaries is also fraught with difficulties due to problems with identifying releasable information, a ...

ABSTRACT: This project addresses the need for high-efficiency broad-spectrum PV cells. The proposed original PV design is based on quantum dots with built-in charge (Q-BIC), where the dot charging is realized by selective doping of dot medium. The preliminary data demonstrate that the charged dots placed in a single p-n-junction strongly enhance harvesting and conversion of sub-bandgap photons an ...

ABSTRACT: This Phase II proposal will capitalize on the success of Phase I to further develop stable and optically efficient fluorescent particles that absorb and emit light in the infrared part of the spectrum and lack any visible light emissions. The specific goals of Phase II will be to further research infrared nanoparticles to increase their brightness with an emphasis on production scalabi ...
