In this Phase II project, we will demonstrate a prototype in an operationally-relevant environment for Climatize®, a cloud-based software platform with the novel capability to determine and deliver user-specific thermal comfort information for weather-ready decision-making. People and organizations in a Weather-Ready Nation adapt to weather changes and environmental events with resilience. A chal ...

As aquaculture increases productivity to meet worldwide demand, it faces an increasing threat from the spread of disease, aquatic organisms, and pathogens. However, biosensor technologies have not kept pace with the need to monitor these ever-increasing threats. In particular, biomonitoring has been limited by the need for continuous human presence, whether at the point of collection or in the lab ...

The team will develop a prototype of an augmented reality product for high school biology topics focusing on cellular and molecular functions. Students will be able to manipulate models and view cell processes in an engaging and informative series of hands-on group-learning lesson modules. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 10 high school biology teachers and 100 high school students, th ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype app of a screening assessment for children who are Spanish-English Dual Language Learners (SE-DLL) in early education. The prototype will provide formative assessment reports to teachers to guide their decision-making, and will include a series of videos to increase knowledge on core competencies of supporting SE-DLL children. At the end of Phase ...

The nBeacon system will push localized, timely, relevant NOAA data products to public users’ smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices in a convenient, unobtrusive, accessible, easily understandable format. In essence, the nBeacon system will provide a new distribution channel for NOAA data products and services to the general public.

Innovative Design Labs (IDL) proposes to create a system which helps guide wheelchair users along the best path through complex urban landscapes. Since the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) were established in 1990 the ability of wheelchair users to navigate has greatly improved. However, there are still many areas in which modification for accessibility was not “r ...

The project will create an affordable system to monitor adolescent athletes in contact sports to identify individuals at risk for traumatic brain injury from continual sub-concussive impacts. The need is to reduce the risk of long term brain injury by providing tools to tell when it's risky/safe to play and find areas where strength training and technique may reduce risk on an individual level. Th ...
