THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP NEW ANALYTIC METHODS FOR CHARACTERIZING MINE WARFARE EFFECTIVENESS. IT WILL USE A COMBINATION OF A PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF SEQUENTIAL CHOICE OUTCOMES AND UNCERTAINTY IN SEQUENTIAL OUTCOMES. THE APPROACH WILL BE TO DEVELOP A SEQUENTIAL DESIGN ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE FOR INDIVIDUAL MINE FIELDS WHICH FULLY CHARACTERIZES SYSTEM PERFORMANCE LINKED TO OBJ ...

THE TASKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUND MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF SLUDGES FROM INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPERATIONS ARE COMPLEX AND EXPENSIVE. THE RECOVERY OF VALUABLE RESOURCES FROM SLUDGES MUST BE AN IMPORTANT INTENT OF THE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE, IF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WASTE DISPOSAL OPERATIONS ARE TO BE CONTAINED. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS AIMED AT D ...

A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS PROPOSED TO DEMONSTRATE AN ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE FOR PREDICTING THE SHOCK RESPONSE OF SHIPBOARD AIRCRAFT SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. THE PREDICTED RESPONSE OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS, SUCH AS CRT'S, TAPE DRIVES, AND PC BOARDS, WOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY COMPARED TO EITHER THE COMPONENTS SPECIFICATIONS OR TEST DATA AND THE USER WOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THOSE COMPONENTS WITH RESPONSE LEVELS EXCEEDI ...

THE PROPOSED FEASIBILITY STUDY IS AN ANALYSIS OF TRACKS OF TRACKED VEHICLES TO EVALUATE ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO DAMPEN STANDING WAVES IN THE TRACKS WHICH OCCUR WHEN THE TRACKED VEHICLES OPERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE STANDING WAVES ABSORB POWER AND REDUCE DRIVETRAIN EFFICIENCY. A RUGGED, INEXPENSIVE MEANS OF DAMPING THE STANDING WAVES IS DESIRED.

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 ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS COMMERCIAL EVALUATION OF NEW ANALYTICAL REAGENTS AND METHODS DISCOVERED AND BEING DISCOVERED BY THE CENTER FOR BIOANALYTICAL RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. THE SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY WHICH WILL BE EXAMINED IS CONCERNED WITH NEW ANALYTICAL METHODS WHICH WOULD ALLOW SEVERAL-FOLD GREATER SENSITIVITY IN MEASUREMENT OF AMINO ACIDS AND PEPTIDES IN BIOLOGICAL MATRICE ...

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 ...

THIS PROPOSAL DETAILS THE PLANNING PHASE OF A STUDY OF MODEL POSTSECONDARY PROGRAMS AIMED AT IMPROVING THE TRANSITION OF HANDICAPPED STUDENTS FROM SCHOOL TO WORK. THEPLANNING PHASE WILL INVOLVE A LITERATURE REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS, FORMATION OF AND CONSULTATION WITH AN ADVISORY PANEL, SITE SELECTION, CASE STUDY PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY CASE STUDIES, AND A FINAL REPORT. THE LITERATURE REVIEW ...
