This project will develop a prototype of a new component that supports classroom-based implementation of products in the library. The prototype will provide a mechanism for teachers to provide data on their experiences implementing technology products, and customized reports new teachers can use with results from prior teachers on how to best implement education technology. At the end of Phase I, ...

This project develops and tests a Bluetooth compliant tongue-based electronic controller (a.k.a. “Mouth Mouse”), designed to give people with upper limb disability control of peripheral devices including computers and communication systems, home automation, and powered wheelchairs, as well as many other Bluetooth compliant devices and new technologies to come in the future. The Mouth Mouse is ...

This project creates an online, interactive, self-paced mindfulness intervention program specifically designed for adolescents with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), a common genetic disorder. The goal of the project is to adapt and examine the usability of a novel online mindfulness training program for adolescents (ages 13 to 18) with 22q11DS. To date, there are very few behavioral ...

Abstract Significance: Donor tissue shortage remains a critical problem in lung transplantation. Recent advances in tissue engineering have allowed for the possibility of generating bioengineered lungs from decellularized organ scaffolds. These scaffolds, created from the donor’s tissue, become functionalized after recellularization with a patient’s own cells. However, translation of whole-lun ...
