DEVELOPMENT OF A DATA-TAKING AND DATA-RECORDING (ARCHIVAL) FISH TAG TO BE ATTACHED TO OR IMPLANTED IN A LARGE MARINE ANIMAL SUCH AS A TUNA. WHEN RECOVERED IN THE FISHERY, THE TAG WOULD BE READ OUT, MAKING AVAILABLE A RECORD OF ENVIRON MENTAL VARIABLES. RECORDS OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, AND AMBIENT LIGHT WOULD ALLOW INFERENCE OF THE ANIMALS 3-DIMENSIONAL TRACK OF DEPTH (FROM PRESSURE), LATITUDE ( ( ...

THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS A PROGRAM TO RESEARCH THE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF AN OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENT CAPABLE OF RETRIEVING SAMPLES FROM THE UPPER 0.2 TO 1.0 METERS OF EXPOSED ROCK, OXIDE CRUSTS, POLYMETALLIC SULFIDE DEPOSITS, AND STIFF SEDIMENTS FROM SPECIFIC SITES ON THE SEAFLOOR. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY, THIS DEVDEVICE MUST BE PROTABLE AND EASILY DEPLOYED FROM S ...

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A WATER FOG OR SPRAY GENERATOR TO CONTROL ON BOARD AIRCRAFT FIRES BY ATTENUATING RADIATIVE HEAT TRANSFER . INFRARED (IR) RADIATION FROM THE FLAME MAINTAINS COMBUSITION OF THE BURNING SURFACE AND AIDS IN THEINGITION OF COLD SURFACES--THEREBY SPREADING THE FIRE. OPTIMAL USE WILL NEED TO BE MADE OF THE WATER, SINCE IT WILLBE CARRIED ON ...

FEW STUDIES OF AIRCRAFT TRAILING VORTICES HAVE BEEN PERFORM ED IN SHEARED OR STRATIFIED FLOWS. YET, MEASUREMENTS INDICATE THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS TYPICALLY BOTH SHEARED AND STRATIF IED. THIS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE COULD BE IMPORTANT IF VORTEX EVOLUTION IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN SHEARED, STRATIFIE D FLOWS THAN IN THE UNSHEARED, UNSTRATIFIED FLOWS THAT HAVE BEEN STUDIED IN THE PAST. OUR RECENT LABORAT ...

THE PROPOSER\PRINCIPAL WILL PROVIDE POSITIVE FRAMEWORK FOR NON-SUBSIDY TRANSPORTATION TOWARE INVOLVEMENT IN CURRENT ANDFUTURE MASS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE METHODS TO REDUCE COSTS, INCREASE OPERATING EFFICIENCIES AND INCREASE TYPES OF SERVICE. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGHONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WITH PUBIC AND PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION AND PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES THAT ARE RES ...

AN ELECTROCHEMICAL INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO DETERMINE ON COMMAND PLANT WATER STATUS BY MEANS OF CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY AND/OR COULOSTATICS. THE APPROACH IS BASED ON THE CHANGE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL STATUS OF THE APOPLAST ELECTROLYTE DURING THE NORMAL IRRIGATION CYCLE. A THREE WINDOW MICROPROBE WILL BE FABRICATED ON A SILICON WAFER SUBSTRATE USING THE PLANAR TECHNIQUES CO ...

THE EFFECT OF THREE IMPORTANT PROCESS VARIABLES (ALTERING HEATING OF FEED LIQUID, CHAMBER LENGTH, AND CARRIER GAS TEMPERATURE) ON ENERGY NEEDED TO PRODUCE POTABLE WATER FROM WATERS CONTAINING DISSOLVED SOLIDS BY AN INNOVATIONAL MINIM UM ENERGY USING HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER DEVICE WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THIS DEVICE USES AN INERT CARRIER GAS OPERATING AT NEAR ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TO EVAPORATE WATER AN ...
