THE TRANSFER OF TISSUE CULTUIRED PLANTS FROM IN VITRO TO OPEN GREENHOUSE ENVIRONMENTS IS FREQUENTLY A MULTI-STAGED, LABOR INTENSIVE PROCESS THAT CAN RAISE PRODUCTION COSTS TO COMMERCIALLY PROHIBITIVE LEVELS. RESEARCH IS UNDERWAY TO TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A CONSOLIDATED, COST- EFFECTIVETRANSFER PLUG SYSTEM THAT WILL ALLOW PLANTS TO BE TRANSFERRED, ROOTED, INOCULATED WITH BENEFICIAL MYCO ...

A SYSTEM UTILIZING THE FREE-WING CONCEPT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR LIGHT AND VERY LIGHT WING-LOADING AIRCRAFT THAT ACCOMMODATES MODERATE TO HEAVY TURBULENCE WITHOUT TRANSMITTING HIGH GUST LOADINGS TO THE AIRFRAME OR THREATENING LOSS OF CONTROL. THE PROJECT WILL TEST THE SYSTEM IN A RESEARCH VEHICLE APPROXIMATING THE DESIGN CRITERIA SET FORTH IN 14 CFR, PART 103; THE RESEARCH VEHICLE IS UNMANNED.

CSE PROPOSES TO APPLY ITS DEMONSTRATED, PATENDED PROTOTYPE PRESSURE-SENSOR TECHNOLOGY TO HBRID 3 FACE AND OTHER ATD AREAS, ALLOWING ACCURATE RECORDING TRIAXIAL ANGULAR ACCELER ATIONS AS WELL AS AREA-PRESSURE-TIME HISTORIES ON HEAD, FACENECK, THORAX, ABDOMEN, KNEE, AND ANY OTHER ATD REGION. PRESSURE SENSORS WILL CONSIST OF SEGMENTED STRIPS, VESTS, ORGLUED-ON PATCHES. DATA WILL BE PROCESSED BY MDAS ...

ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR DETECTING PESTICIDES, ANTIBOIOTICS, AND METABOLIC PRODUCTS IN MEAT PRODUCTS ARE TEDIOUS AND TIME-CONSUMING. THIS STUDY WILL EVALUATE SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS OF THESE COMPOUNDS WHICH MAY BE POLAR, THERMALLY UNSTABLE, OR OTHERWISE INTRACTABLE TO OTHER METHODS. IN PHASE I, WE WILL DEMONSTRATE ANALYSIS OF RESIDUES BY SFC; DEMONS ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A SIX-MONTH PROGRAM FOR THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF A DEPLOYABLE, DOOR-MOUNTED PAD FOR ENHANCING THE PROTECTION LEVEL AFFORDED FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS BY VEHICLES STRUCK IN THE SIDE DOOR AREA. THE CONCEPT PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION IS AN INFLATABLE STRUCTURE INTEGRATED INTO A PRODUCTION-CONFIGURED SMALL CAR DOOR. UPON IMPACT OF THE DOOR A STORED GAS OR ...

SALANNIN (C34H4O9) IS A PLANT TETRANORTRITERPENOID OCCURRINGIN TWO SPECIES IN THE MELIACEAE, AZADIRACHTA INDICA A. JUSS.(NEEM) AND MELIA DUBIA CAV. SALANNIN HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE AN ANTIFEEDANT (FEEDING INHIBITOR) AGAINST SEVERAL SPECIES OF INSECT PEST, INCLUDING DIPTERANS (FLIES), LEPIDOPTERANS (CATERPILLARS), AND COLEOPTERANS (BEETLES). WE PLAN TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF MODELING A NEW CHE ...

THIS PROPOSED RESEARCH REPRESENTS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGIES AND SUBSEQUENT OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF TRAITS EXHIBITING QUANTITATIVE EXPRESSIONAND INHERITANCE. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE OFTEN STRONG ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN PATTERNS OF VARIATION OF ISOZYME MARKERS AND PLANT MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS WHICH SHOW QUANTITATIVE INHERITANCE. RECENTLY, HELENTJARIS, EDWA ...
