DESCRIPTION Glycans have several distinct properties that make them excellent targets for disease biomarkers Firstly the location of the glycans on the cell surface makes them the first point of contact of cellular interactions and thus crucial in the control of normal metabolic processes Cell surface molecules are also strategically exposed for surveillance by the immune system allowing for ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant This project will develop a suite of innovative learning experiences that will engage high school students in neuroscience and thereby increase their interest in possible careers in this area This will be achieved by creating highly interactive and immersive products developed in partnership with neuroscience experts science teachers and science education re ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Development of radiological nuclear medical countermeasures to treat Acute Radiation Syndrome ARS is a high priority research area for NIAID Bone marrow is one of the most sensitive tissues to radiation damage and impaired hematopoiesis is one of the first clinical signs of excessive radiation exposure often resulting i death Granulocyte colony stimulating ...

Technology focusing on collection, processing, and analysis of real-time data is playing a major role in military and civilian applications. With the advent of GPU and accelerator computing, the collection, processing, and analysis of real-time data streams is technically possible at an unprecedented scale. The first goal of this proposal is to quickly analyze high-bandwidth data streams by levera ...

This project aims to further develop the technology of frequency stabilized lasers for microwave generation, laser radar and other precision measurement applications. The goal is to decrease the noise floor of the stabilized laser to ~ 6 x 10^-16 at 1 s, and improve operational robustness to allow the device to be transported and operated at the Hz level in stand-alone operation, and mitigate the ...

Having demonstrated the feasibility of fMRI in awake dogs, we are now ready to move forward with a program aimed at extending this technology to the point that a reliable training regimen can be deployed to a wide range of service and working dogs. The ad

iK9, LLC, and Auburn University shall collaborate in the development of prototype procedures for conducting cognitive neuroscience studies employing fMRI imaging of the brains of unrestrained dogs while they are in an awake and responsive state. IK9 is an

Advances in biodegradable materials have allowed the development of a variety of resorbable medical devices that do no need to be removed at the end of their service because they degrade within the body into not toxic by-products. However, devices that contain electronic components are still nearly all non-degradable because of the lack of biodegradable conducting and semiconducting materials. T ...

Hadoop style systems have done an excellent job of providing scalable long term disk bound data storage and enjoy wide acceptance in both Government and the private sector. However, Hadoop implementations suffer from performance limitations with respect to whole set aggregates and real time interactivity that we believe can be solved by optimizing for local memory operations. The key performance ...
