DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a national need for conflict resolution and peace education. Skit-based performances and open discussion are two frequently successful methods of working with children to develop conflict resolution skills. This project is creating a core set of conflict resolution modules along with ongoing new video-scenarios and educational materials that explore va ...

Electrocardiogram is the most common cardiac examination ordered by physicians. In the past, only persons working in the ECG laboratory were allowed to perform a 12-lead ECG on a patient. Today, however, this task has been delegated to a variety of health professionals, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and even nursing assistants in some health care facilities. There is a ne ...

completion, the entire course will provide a professional certificate with continuing nursing education contact hours or can be transferred as academic credit in an undergraduate-nursing program. The model for the OCPP to be developed in this project has three components: didactic core content, clinical practicum, and a Virtual Center of Best Practices. The core ...

"The aim of our Phase II activity is to incorporate the Cohesive Volumetric Plate and Shell (Finite) Elements into LS-DYNA3D, thus enhancing its capabilities in modeling HRAM loading and damage in composite structures. In Phase I, we reported oninterlaminar failure criteria and modes, based on fracture mechanics. A damage-dependent bilinear cohesive element is used to capture the crack initiatio ...

Rapid tests for microbial detection in food processing on the market today provide information on the presence or absence of specific pathogens after an enrichment process of 24 to 48 hours. Our method will utilize immunomagnetic separation after brief enrichment (

"This Phase I SBIR Project will develop a complete set of guiding documents which shall constitue a roadmap for implementing and deploying the Worldwide C4I for Special Operations Forces Combatant Craft solution. The documentation set will include analysisand results for algorithms in the areas of data compression, and encryption schemes. The document set shall contain the following: Concept of ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted in response to NCUBIP PAR-01-102, "Development of Novel Imaging Technologies for In-Vivo Imaging". A overall goal of this project is to facilitate routine head/neck imaging at 3T, which at present is limited to head MRI. In Phase I, novel RF coil prototypes capable of high-resolution head/neck imaging in a clinical 3T setting will ...

"Aetion will leverage proprietary multi-criterial decision-making technology, SFVM, that can be used for generating and evaluating a very large number and range of manufacturing alternatives in parallel, efficiently finding the best options from among them,and presenting the results to the user so that they can understand how the design of prototypes impacts their manufacturability, and to navigat ...

"To maximize situational awareness, while minimizing cognitive overload, automated abductive inference (best-explanation reasoning) will be used to create a changing, "best interpretation" representation of the situation from incoming data. Modeling andsimulation will be used by the abductive inference software for automatic generation of predictions from hypotheses, enabling the continual generat ...
