This proposal investigates the feasibility of using a systems analytic approach to model the critical processes supporting proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It uses as a framework for synthesis a previously developed systems analysis model of biological weapons proliferation. The proposed approach consists of four tasks to: 1) extend the BW analytical process to encompass all WMD, 2) d ...

While auditory evoked responses are often used for objective assessment of hearing, especiallyin infants, such responses do not provide an adequate measure of low-frequency hearing. This, in turn,makes more difficult the selection of a hearing aid appropriate for the patient's hearing deficit.Evaluation of the auditory evoked response is especially difficult because of the brain's response totrans ...

This project is intended to provide computational resources to users of Dipole Source Localization(DSL) methods to allow them to decide whether or not their DSL results are distorted by certain errorscalled model misspecification errors. These errors are essentially due to incorrect weighing constantsin the computation of the relationship between source dipole parameters and the surface potential. ...

We will develop a comprehensive, flexible laboratory software system that controls stimuli anddata acquisition in NIH health-related research studies, to meet the needs of research in cognitivepsychology and neurobiology, in terms of both capabilities and convenience. The Phase I workplan ispart of the overall goal, and is to initially develop the software necessary to present full screen graphics ...

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a prototype model of a flight-critical system using AbTech's AIM network synthesis tool and NASA's CLIPS production rule system and to demonstrate the ability of an AIM generated polynomial network to reliably perform sensitivity analysis using variable components of this flight critical system. The resulting adaptive test generation, analysis, and co ...

High-risk newborn infants in an intensive care unit often suffer significant morbidity and mortalitybecause of infectious illnesses which elude early diagnosis and are present in advanced stages withcirculatory shock. Earlier diagnosis and therapy might present in advanced stages with circulatoryshock. Earlier diagnosis and therapy might prevent or reduce late complications and deaths. A strategyf ...

AbTech will survey the hardware and software available to determine what capabilities should be included in an automated office assistant software suite. A language parsing and encoding system in ANN (a leading semantic understanding software package) will be used to parse and encode ASCII output resulting from a voice recognition system such as DragonDictate. The ASCII output from the voice recog ...
