"We propose an innovative technique for ultra rapid, sensitive detection ofcancer specific chromosome rearrangements in solution to facilitate bulkquantification of aberrant chromosomes for early detection of metastatictumor cells. (I) We will apply DNA hybridization in suspension to humanbreast cancer cell lines by combining two separate, novel techniques 1)hybridizing chromosomes in suspension; ...

"The goal of this Phase 1 proposal is to examine the technical feasibility of a cognitive performance self-assessment wearable computer system for operational deployment. We will use the standardized and validated software for assessment of cognitiveperformance, ANAM - Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics, which is a set of computer administered and scored tests of cognitive processing ...

"The team of Artis, LLC, Noesis, Inc. and Brandeis University will address four objectives in Phase I. First, we will develop a system, the Virtual Motion Induction System (VMIS), that couples the sensed motion in the environment to a simulatedenvironment. The purpose of VMIS is to reduce the onset and severity of motion side effects. Second, we will test VMIS on multiple laboratory motion plat ...

"Current commercial market offers many products that may form the basis from which to proceed, these devices were not designed with the original intent to perform in the austere environment of combat by minimally trained personnel where evacuation andaccess to higher echelons of medical care are likely to be significantly delayed. The overarching challenge will be to design robust light-weight an ...

This study will extend the current research base on effective teaching by creating and validating a set of prototypical teacher performance assessments. These assessments will take the form of multimedia web cases of teaching and learning in science and mathematics. This study will determine the extent to which the conceptions of effective teaching practices held by professionals involved in all s ...

"Corrosion costs for DOD are believed to be >$10 billion annually with $2.5 billion of that associated with the Army. It is estimated that one third of this cost is avoidable. Additionally, undetected corrosion can impact safety and readiness of criticalequipment and structures. In extreme cases, it can cause catastrophic failure with fatalities. The most common corrosion protection scheme is ...
