FALLS AMONG THE ELDERLY POSE A GROWING PROBLEM IN GERIATRICSCARE AND RESEARCH IN THAT ACTUAL FALLS ARE HARD TO PREDICT, DETECT, INSTRUMENT, AND DOCUMENT AMONG SUCH A LARGE AND DIVERSE POPULATION. A NEW AND INNOVATIVE PATIENT-WORN DOSIMETER IS PLANNED FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD FACILITATE ASTANDARDIZED METHODOLOGY FOR THE ECONOMICAL MONITORING AND RECORDING OF SELECTED POPULATIONS IN AREAS OF INCRE ...

The objective of the proposed project is the development of technology for more efficient and effective human-computer supervision of complex systems. Systems that combine humans and automation in a synergistic or cooperative manner may be termed hybridsystems. Hybrid systems offer advantages over both purely automated systems and purely manual systems in many circumstances. However, future hybrid ...

THE MISSION OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS COMPLETION OF A TRULY INNOVATIVE STUDY TO UPGRADE EXISTING PNS CODES FOR COMPUTING HIGHSPEED, THREE-DIMENSIONAL RE-ENTRY FLOWFIELDS. THE PLAN OF ACTION ENCOMPASSES A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE RANGE OF ADMISSABLE CFD THEORIES, TO UNEQUIVACALLY COMPARE STRONG AND WEAK POINTS FOR APPLICATION TO THE REYNOLDS-AVERAGED NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DIFFERENTIAL EQ ...

MILLIONS OF ACRES OF UNMANAGED PRIVATE NON-INDUSTRIAL FORESTLAND ACROSS THE RURAL SOUTH PRESENT AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPOR- TUNITY TO CREATE NEW BUSINESSES AND JOBS. MOST PRESENT FORESTRY CONTRACTORS WHO PROVIDE SERVICES SUCH AS TIMBER HARVESTING AND SITE PREPARATION OPERATE WITH EQUIPMENT TOO LARGE AND INEFFICIENT FOR LANDOWNERS. TO ASSIST LANDOWNERS IN BEGINNING INTENSIVE MANAGEMENT, ADDITIONAL NEW ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Liver failure secondary to hepatitis, hepatotoxin exposure, and cirrhosis threatens the lives of thousands in the United States alone. Estimates of yearly direct healthcare costs for liver disease in the U.S. range from $60 billion to over $100 billion. Vesta Therapeutics has developed proprietary technologies for the isolation and preservation of primary hepat ...

Taggants are small objects used to label things or people that need to be traced. Synthetic DNA Taggants are ideal for this, since very small amounts can be detected if the sequence is known, and can be disguised by natural DNA in the environment. Known protocols for DNA amplification (e.g. PCR) allow for very sensitive DNA detection, but suffer from disadvantages: the apparatus is not very portab ...

The US Navy seeks science and technology feasibility research emphasizing innovative imagery and data fusion approaches for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and exploitation (i.e., ISR). Interest includes using data from multiple sensors/systemsfor comprehensive and timely ISR, supporting operational users in joint force battlespace environments.We propose to research and develop linear ...

This program will demonstrate high-performance GaN microelectronic devices for X-band radar applications by using novel device designs and single crystal gallium nitride substrates. FETs for power amplifiers will benefit from lower defects resulting fromgrowth on a native GaN substrate, improved device design, including features such as gate recess and passivation layers, and device cooling. The m ...
