"We propose an innovative technique for ultra rapid, sensitive detection ofcancer specific chromosome rearrangements in solution to facilitate bulkquantification of aberrant chromosomes for early detection of metastatictumor cells. (I) We will apply DNA hybridization in suspension to humanbreast cancer cell lines by combining two separate, novel techniques 1)hybridizing chromosomes in suspension; ...

"Current serum biomarkers for cancer do not approach the ideal of >95% sensitivity and specificity. Tumor-associated fatty acid synthase (FAS) has been identified as an immunohistochemical marker potentially useful in monitoring tumor aggressiveness andpredicting disease course. FASgen Diagnostics intends to develop a serum-based assay for FAS. In a 1st generation format, FASgen's 2-site ELSIA ...

"Army Transformation efforts and the ongoing digitization of the battlespace have created a situation where much of the data needed to create automated AAR products in training environments is now available in actual combat environments. Using AAR systemsas operational tools, we now have the opportunity to provide military organizations with AAR-like products and operational feedback in time for ...

"An approach for the development, dissemination and presentation of 2D/3D C4ISR information to soldiers using the next generation of relatively low cost gaming systems is presented. An application framework is developed based on a distributed, collaborativeenvironment to facilitate the representation of human and other threats, resources, and environments and to formulate responses to operators ta ...

"The goal of the project is to reduce the rate of attrition in basic training and duty due to psychiatric diagnoses by improved screening of candidates during the recruitment process. The Technical Objectives of the Phase II research are: (1) To finalizethe assessment framework; (2)To deploy the assessment framework with a Palm-based system at the Baltimore MEPS; (3)To obtain baseline assessment ...

"The purpose of the proposed Army Phase II program is to develop and commercialize novel tissue solders based on a biodegradable copolymer system that contains a controlled degree of acrylate-terminated photoactive branch sites. This will result in aprocess that, with the addition of a biocompatible and non-toxic photosensitizer /electron donor initiating system, will rapidly cure from a viscous l ...

This Phase II effort will involve the effective translation of the SOF Tactical Information Display (STID) architecture developed under Phase I into a set of functional prototypes. The STID will be able to capture screen display data from a standard VGAport and transmit it wirelessly via a low probability of detection (LPD) ultra-wideband (UWB) link to a remote miniature display, which could be w ...

Today, SOF Tactical users normally must stop moving and setup equipment to perform radio frequency (RF) detection and direction finding (DF). This limits their effectiveness to other team members. The goal of SOCOM in the next generation is to permit onthe move hands free RF detection by way of a Body-Worn Antenna Vest. It is envisioned that the SOF user would attach a receiver and a power sour ...
