EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AN ...

RESEARCH TO DETERMINE IF ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FOR COUNTIES ON A REASONABLY CURRENT BASIS ARE VALID. THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WHICH ARE AVAILABLE ON A CURRENT BASIS FOR COUNTIES WILL BE COMPARED FOR RECENT YEARS WITH REFERENCE DATA FROM ESTABLISHED STATISTICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD RESOURCES. IF THE CURRENT ESTIMATES ARE RELIABLE FOR S ...

QUALITATIVE ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAVE LEVELED OFF SUFFICIENTLY TO JUSTIFY THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USER, MULTI-FUNCTION, COMPREHENSIVE VISUAL TESTING INSTRUMENT FOR OPHTHALMOLOGISTS, VISUAL SCIENTISTS, AND OPTOMETRISTS. SUCH A SYSTEM COULD BE DEVELOPED WITH RELATIVE EASE WERE IT NOT FOR THE INDUSTRY STANDARD REFRESH RATE FOR GENERATING VIDEO IMAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, 60 HZ IS TOO SLOW FO ...

THIS PROPOSAL CONCERNS DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERACTIVE, MICROCOMPUTER/VIDEODISC TOOL FOR TEACHING LIFE SKILLS TO LEARNING DISABLED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. WE HAVE TERMED IT A LIFE SKILLS SYSTEM (LSS), AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY PRESENT DAY SECONDARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM DEFICIENCIES IN TRAINING LD STUDENTS TO FUNCTION INDEPENDENTLY. THE LSS IS BASED ON FUNCTIONAL CONTEXT TRAINING, AND THUS IS A DISTINCT DEPART ...

THE SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIC- ALLY EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR THE SEPARATIONAND PURIFICATION OF MULTIGRAM QUANTITIES OF HIGH POLYUN- SATURATES (E.G., EICOSAPNOIC ACID, EPA, C20:5W3; DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID, DHA, C22:6W3; AND ESTERS) FROM MARINE/FISH OILS, WITH THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF MAKING THESE AND POSSIBLY OTHER HIGH POLYUNSATURATES AVAILABLE FOR A WA ...

THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A SERUM-FREE CHEMICALLY DEFINED MEDIUM FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH OF MAMMALIAN CELLS IN VITRO. THE SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO SOLUBILIZE, BY MEANS OTHER THAN THE USE OF CARRIER PROTEINS, FATTY ACIDS, ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID, FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS, AND CHOLESTEROL IN AN EXISTENT SERUM-FREE MEDIUM, CHEE'S ESSENTIAL MEDIUM (CEM). BESIDES HORMONES, GROWTH ...

ACCESSORY APARTMENTS BENEFIT OLDER HOMEOWNERS. THEY CAN PROVIDE INCOME, SECURITY, COMPANIONSHIP, AND A SOURCE OF SERVICES IN RETURN FOR RENT REDUCTIONS. THEY ALSO CREATE INEXPENSIVE RENTAL HOUSING, AND, BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS LISTED ABOVE, A MEANS TO HELP OLDER HOMEOWNERS AGE IN PLACE.IN CONTRAST, INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORY APARTMENTS IS RARELY SEEN AS A WAY FOR BUSINESS PEOPLE TO MAKE MONEY.
