The Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler and Analyzer (RASA) is a completely automated monitoring system that detects airborne radioactive particles and is one of the detection systems used in the U.S. and global International Monitoring System (IMS) of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to detect nuclear detonations. Mainstream proposes develop a high-efficiency cyclone separa ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD) requires transformational materials technology to support the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) of personnel and materials associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, manufacturing, and proliferation. Voxtel, Inc. proposes to fa ...

State of the art Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) techniques must scale down in feature size for radiation effects in 45 nm processes, and also scale up in complexity to support radiation fault analysis of VLSI circuits. Recent access to commercial 45 nm CMOS Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technologies has increased the interest in this technology for rad-hard electronic applications due to the in ...

This project addresses the need for increased opportunities for customized employment for individuals with cognitive disabilities by developing the Person-Centered Planning ToolKit. The Toolkit will enhance implementation of personcentered planning (PCP), often limited by lack of follow-through on action items and a lack of tools to match career preferences to specific customized employment opport ...

This project develops a system that improves communication between a patient and their audiologist, simplify the fitting and tuning process by allowing patients to remotely record their hearing aid (HA) experience via a smartphone application. Currently, only 28.5% of individuals who could benefit from a HA actually wears one. The goal of this project is to improve patient satisfaction with their ...

This project develops and evaluates an intelligent web-based application, Tools for Reading to Acquire Content Knowledge (TRACK) for middle and high school students with neurocognitive deficits such as individuals with learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, traumatic brain injury, or autism spectrum disorder. Applying a participatory action research approach, investigator ...
