THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A HIGH LEVEL COMPUTERIZED EVALUATION MODEL THAT WILL PREDICT THE WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES OF A GIVEN DEFINED ARCHITECTURE AGAINST A GIVEN THREAT WITH RESPECT TO ANTI-AIR WARFARE (AAW). THE AAW FORCE LEVEL ATTRIBUTES/DRIVERS AS DEFINED BY SPAWAR 314, AAW DIVISION OF WARFARE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE, WILL BE ADDRESSED IN TERMS OF TH ...

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. AS A ...

Improving particulate matter (PM) analysis technology for on-vehicle measurements remains a significant challenge. The requirement for accurate and highly precise real-time measurement, capable of on-vehicle applications, is rapidly increasing. Expanding demand for compliance measurements, and assessing and evaluating engine performance development and emergent exhaust aftertreatment technologie ...

To address the need to mitigate cooperative and noncooperative in-band interference in airborne anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems, ARiA will develop and demonstrate the feasibility of signal and information processing algorithms for mitigating various types of in-band interference. ARiA will develop and evaluate (1) model-based adaptive signal processing in space, time, and Doppler to mitigate ...

Adiabatic reversible logic provides a way to dramatically reduce power dissipation by recovering the energy used to encode information, rather than dissipating the energy to heat, as is done in conventional CMOS. For Phase I we will design test circuits that will evaluate the energy savings in adiabatic reversible logic, as compared to conventional logic. In addition to these smaller circuits, a M ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND TEST A HEALTH-PROMOTION-ORIENTED DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR INDUSTRY. THE PROGRAM WILL USE DRUG AND ALCOLHOLABUSE PREVENTION STRATEGIES APPROPRIATE FOR WORKING ADULTS, CAST IN A HEALTH PROMOTION FRAMEWORK. PHASE I ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: (1) DEVELOPING A MODEL OF HEALTH PROMOTION/HEALTH BEHAVIOR RESEARCH LITERATURE, THE INTERVIEWS WITH H ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Approximately 30,000 people in the United States are diagnosed each year with pancreatic Cancer (PanCa). Over 90% of these will die of the disease making PanCa one of the most devastating human malignancies. The current 5-year survival rate of less than 4% has changed little in the last 20 years despite improvements in therapy including the introduction of chem ...

The safe disposal of spacecraft upon mission completion is necessary to preserve the utility of high-value orbits. It is forecasted that up to 2,600 nanosatellites and microsatellites will be launched into orbit over the next five years, and plans for large commercial constellations consisting of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit are currently in development. nbsp;NASArsquo;s Small ...
