ENERGY INCORPORATED (EI) PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH A PROGRAM TO GATHER PLANT-SPECIFIC DATA FOR THE NUCLEAR PLANT DATA BANK (NPDB). THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INCLUDES GEOMETRIC AND OPERATING DATA FOR THE PRIMARY SYSTEM SECONDARY SYSTEM, BALANCE OF PLANT, AND THE TRIP AND CONTROL SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH, EVERY COMMERCIAL REACTOR IN THE U.S. HAS UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURES, MANY SHARE A COMMON BASIS BY WHICH THEY CA ...

AS PREVENTION BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT IN THE FIELD OF MODERN MEDICINE, EFFICIENT DATA COLLECTION AND RECORDING BECOMES A MUST. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVISE A SYSTEM WITH A NEW TYPE OF DATA PROCESSING ALORITHM THAT ALLOWS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN MEMORY NEEDED FOR DATA STORAGE. IT WILL BE ACHIEVED BY USING AN INNOVATIVE TIME-VARIANT DATA COMPRESSION TECHNIQUE. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IN DATA STORAGE BETWEEN ...

PHASE I WOULD INVOLVE STUDY TO DETERMINE THE PARAMETERS OF THE REQUIRED SYSTEM AND TO ASCERTAIN THE FEASIBILITY AND BEST APPROACHES. VISUAL STIMULI REQUIREMENTS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE VISUAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY THIS ARMY LABORATORY WOULD BE ASCERTAINED. THE CAPA BILITIES OF THE EXISTING HARDWARE WILL THEN BE EVALUATED. FINALLY, THE DESIRED TYPES OF USER INTERACTIONS WITH THE SYSTEM WILL BE EXPLOR ...

TURBINE METERS CAN DIRECTLY MEASURE FLUID VELOCITY. PRESENTDESIGNS, HOWEVER, USING NEEDLE, ROLLER OR BALL BEARINGS, ARELIMITED TO RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE, PARTICULARLY AT LOW VELOCITIES AND UNDER SUDDEN PULSE LOADINGS. CONVENTIONAL UNITS ARE ALSO LIMITED IN LIFE DUE TO BEARING FOULING AND WEAR UNDER SEVERE OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO REPLACE THE USUAL BAL ...

A MICROCOSM OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA RESISTANT TO ANTIOBIOTICS HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED IN OUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA RESULTING FROM CLOSE CONFINEMENT OF PATHOGEN-CARRYING ANIMALS FROM THROUGHOUT THE NATION. OUR LABORATORY ROUTINELY SCREENS HUNDREDS OF CLINICAL SAMPLES MONTHLY FOR BACTERIAL IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY. IN PHASE I RESEARCH, RECENT RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY WILL BE APPLIED TO ...
