Lynntech will design and build a laboratory scale reduced weight, environmentally stable, CBC device which is usable at Role 1 and higher which requires no cold chain storage. The device is specifically intended to be used by medical personnel deployed in Health Response Teams (HRTs) who are not lab technicians and who do not have rapid, reliable access to a hematology lab. To this end, the soluti ...

Stem cell apoptosis occurs when the interaction between the host brain extracellular matrix (ECM) and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived neural stem cell (NSCs) are directly injected into the injured brain regions. Establishment of a connection between ECM and iPSC/NSC could increase cell viability, differentiation, and promote functional recovery of the injured tissue. The critica ...

Between Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn, the total number of U.S. Casualties (those Wounded in Action) has exceeded 52,000 as of January 30, 2015. These numbers point to the fact that active warfighters in the battlefield are almost constantly exposed to the threat of external penetrating wounds. The goal of combat wound care is to protect open wounds u ...

The objective of this Phase I proposal is to develop, design, and prototype a computer-based, Automated Vision Tester (AVT) for comprehensive vision screening of military aircrew. A fully realized AVT would combine a variety of clinical screening tests into a unified, automated tabletop unit capable of conducting screenings at both near (14 in./35 cm) and far (20 ft/6 m) distances. The ideal test ...

Traumatic injury represents one of the most common reasons for mortality and accounts for 14.2% of all fatalities. Clinical management of trauma and emergency surgeries in combat casualties often require massive plasma transfusions. However, in critical c

CSMP is an exciting K-6 math program, designated as an "exemplary educational program that works¿ by the U.S. Department of Education, which funded its development, evaluation, and dissemination. Its spiral, problem solving approach uses picture languages, abaci, and technically challenging games. Simple problems subtly introduce sophisticated concepts. While class and teacher-student intera ...

WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO RAISE A MARINE PIPELINE FOR REPAIR DUE TO TRAWLER SNAG, ETC., THE PIPELINE WILL BUCKLE, AND THEN THE BUCKLE WILL PROPAGATE IF ALL CONDITIONS ARE NOT PROPER. WITH SEVERE BUCKLES, THE PIPE WILL BREAK OPEN ALLOWING THE OIL TO SPILL. THIS CAN BE MINIMIZED BY PERIODICALLY PLACING REMOTELY OPERABLE VALVES IN THE LINE FOR CUTOFF. BUT SOMETIMES THE PIPELINE ROTATES AS IT IS BEING L ...

USING RADIO TELEMETRY MODEMS, IS CURRENTLY POSSIBLE. THIS IS NECESSARY BECAUSE LACK OF MONITORING CAUSES INADEQUATE CONTROL OF INTERNAL CORROSION TAKING PLACE INSIDE OFFSHORE PIPELINE SYSTEMS. THE NET RESULT IS PIPELINE FAILURE DUE TOTHE EFFECTS OF CORROSION. THE RESULT OF PIPELINE FAILURE WILL BE AN OIL SPILL IN COASTAL WATERS. AS THE NATION'S OFFSHORE PIPELINE SYSTEM GROWS OLDER, THE NET EFFECTS ...
