DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current Phase I SBIR Grant application by Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation proposes to test the antinociceptive effect of a novel A1 receptor agonist in rat models. As preliminary data we present evidence in

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a newly recognized illness that has rapidly spread throughout Asia, North America and Europe. SARS has been found to be a highly infectious disease with high mortality,

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of the proposed research are to develop further an alphavirus replicon particle vaccine against human cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV causes a chronic, persistent infection and is an important cause of morbi

75602-Nitric acid production is currently the largest source of nitrous oxide emissions in the chemical industry. Reductions in these emissions are urgently required because nitrous oxide is both a strong greenhouse gas and an ozone layer depleter. Although measures exist to eliminate nitrous oxide emissions from adipic acid plants, they cannot be applied to eliminate nitrous oxide emissions fro ...

Data Fusion has emerged as a critical technology to be developed and deployed for military projects encompassing Space Situational Awareness, and Offensive/Defensive Counterspace to increase the warfighter's ability to identify, characterize, geo-locate and assess attacks. Fusion has also been identified as a major risk to be mitigated for the NASA/Air Force Joint Space Launch Initiative (SLI) Re ...

Intellite, Incorporated will team with the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona to develop an adaptive optics system that will project a diffraction-limited spot on the retina by pre-correcting the laser beam for all significant optical aberrations of the specific eyeball under test. The system will use real-time feedback from a low-power laser reflected from the retina to measure ...
