PROPOSER, WHO HAS PATENTS FOR BONDING METAL TO GRAPHITE, WILL BOND TO PYROLYTIC ANISOTROPIC GRAPHITE, USING TIN COMPOSITE MATERIAL, IN ORDER TO FIND SUBSTITUTE FOR COPPER.

THE RESEARCH HEREIN PROPOSED IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUING PROBLEM OF ESTIMATING SOFTWARE COSTS OVER THE LIFE OF LARGE AND COMPLEX SOFTWARE PROJETS. THE RESEARCH WILL ADDRESS ALL FACTORS THAT AFFECT SOFTWARE COSTS FROM A FUNCTIONAL STANDPOINT AS OPPOSED TO THE TRADITIONAL LINES-OF-CODE (PROGRAM SIZE) APPROACH. THE FACTORS WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO A MODEL THAT EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF IN ...

TAC PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS FORWARD-LOOKING AUTONOMOUS SENSORS AND ALGORITHMS FOR TLAM-C. THE CURRENT TLAM-C USES A TERRAIN MAPPING RADAR ALTIMETER AND CORRELATES THE SENSED AREA AT KEY WAYPOINTS WITH A STORED DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE TERRAIN AREA AT THE WAYPOINTS TO PROVIDE MID-COURSE AND TERMINAL GUIDANCE CORRECTION TO THE INERTIAL NA ...

SOLICITATION ON THE SUBJECT OF DENTAL ANESTHESIA. THE MAIN OBEJECTIVE IS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A PORTABLE, SELF-CONTAINED BATTERY OPERATED LASER BIOSTIMULATOR (LSB) TO ALLEVIATE DENTAL PAIN BY SEMI SKILLED DENTAL AUXILLARY PERSONNEL ESPECIALLY IN THE BATTLEFIELD. THE PROPOSED EFFORT ENCOMPASSES THREE TASKS: 1) DESIGN, BUILD AND CHECK OUT THE ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY FEATURES ON THE ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS GRANT IS TO SELECT APPROVABLE DRUGS FOR THE TREATMENT OF FOUR ORPHAN DISEASES: SICKLE CELL DISEASE,THALASSEMIA, HEMOCHROMATOSIS, AND ERYTHROPOIETIC PORPHYRIAS.FROM THE AVAILABLE WORLD MEDICAL LITERATURE ON THE FOUR DISEASES, DRUGS THAT ARE CLAIMED TO BE EFFECTIVE WILL BE EVALUATED AND CATEGORIZED AS TO THE EXTENT OF CLINICAL TESTING AND ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION. THE THERAPEUTIC R ...

OF AUTOMATING THE USE OF THE UNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC)APPROACH FOR USE BY CONTACT ADMINISTATION ORGANIZATIONS. THEUNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC) TECHNIQUE COMBINES BOTH ENGINEERING AND PARAMETRIC ESTIMATING APPROACHES TO PROVIDE A "SHOULD COST" ESTIMATE OF DIRECT LABOR. ULC ALLOWS THE DISCIPLINED INTEGRATION OF THE DATA FOUND IN THE CONTRACTOR'S WORK MEASUREMENT AND COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS ...

IN THE AREAS OF CANCER RESEARCH THE STATISTICAL PROCEDURES THAT ARE DEVELOPED ARE USUALLY APPLIED TO AD HOC SITUATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, MOST STATISTICAL PROCEDURES IN CLINICAL TRIAL EVALUATIONS FOCUS ON A PARTICULAR TREATMENT REGIMEN THAT IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANCER. ON THE OTHER HAND, RELIABILITY GROWTH MODEL METHODS CAN BE USED TO ANALYZE A SEQUENCE OF CLINICAL TRIALS THAT HAS OC ...

THIS PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP AND CALIBRATE AN ELECTRONC SENSOR TO VERIFY THE PARTIAL PRESSURE OF OXYGEN ACTUALLY BEING DELIVERED TO AIRCREWS AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW ALTITUDES. IT WILL READ OUT CONTINUOUSLY AND IN REAL TIMEAND CAN BE SET TO TRIGGER AN ALARM IF THE OXYGEN PARTIAL PRESSURE VARIES OUTSIDE PREDETERMINED LIMITS. THE SENSOR IS BASED O THE REVERSIBLE SORPTION OF OXYGEN INTO A SUBSTRATE SUCH AS ...
