GREAT, Graph-based Extraction and Analytical Tool will enable teams of subject matter experts (SMEs) to author knowledge bases directly and easily without knowledge engineers serving as intermediaries. 21st Century Technologies and BBN Technologies shalldemonstrate rapid knowledge formation of complex problem solving patterns and concepts using graph pattern matching technology to increase the spe ...

We propose the Graph Matching Intrusion Detection (GMID) system, a novel approach to detecting insider and coordinated insider-outsider threats based on our algorithms for solving the subgraph isomorphism (graph matching) problem. GMID performs datafusion on information from dense sensor networks inside and outside the secured system to build a graph representation of network topology, user activ ...

The Future Combat System is drawing from the Operation and Organization Plan and Operational Requirements Document a concept of having a 72 combat pulse, with rotation of the combat elements back to the MSS for resupply and rest before rotating back intoanother 72 pulse. During the combat pulse, there would three periods of intense activity, separated by lulls. These lulls, called maintenance pu ...

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a prototype advanced diagnostic system for the T800 turboshaft engine using a hybrid polynomial network and production-rule expert system. The resulting system will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a revolutionary diagnostic capability which can model the engine at a system level, detect failures before they become signficant isolate faults, ...

Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS) have emerged as the most important arthropod-borne viral diseases of humans. There are four distinct dengue virus types (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), each capable of causingdisease in humans. The conserved 3¿_-noncoding sequences of four dengue virus serotypes have been successfully utilized to develop as a TaqMan-based ...

Our phase 1 objective is to build a prototype immunochromatographic test device which is capable of detecting IgM and IgG antibodies specific for Orientia tsutsugamushi in blood, serum or plasma samples from soldiers or civilians. A filed use rapid assayto detect scrub typhus infection that is rapid, one-step, utilizes stable reagents and requires no special storage or equipment requirements.

Bonded repair is a preferred technique for repairing localized damage in aircraft structures that can provide an efficient method for restoring the ultimate load capability of the structure. However, the effectiveness of a bonded repair depends heavilyupon the integrity of the bonding interface between the repair patch and the host structure. Currently there are few inspection methods available to ...

This STTR project will develop and validate a robust, scalable computational capability for the simulation of weapon-target interactions of interest to the Army. The proposed algorithm is based on the FLIP (Fluid Implicit Particle) - MPM (Material PointMethod) - MFM (Multiphase Flow Method) approach and the CartaBlanca nonlinear solver environment developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Car ...

Active Signal Technologies proposes a thoroughly planned systematic development effort to produce a system that will meet the requirements of rugged operational monitoring to provide continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) and ventilation data on activelydeployed personnel. The program starts with a comprehensive literature survey across a broad range of life sciences, technology and government resear ...

Data from original and archival sources will be used to compile normative values for both single and repeated administrations of selected ANAM test batteries. These norms will then be used to develop and evaluate strategies for creating cognitive statusreports (CSRs) for use by clinicians, field commanders, and other decision makers. Predictive subsets of the data generated by the test batteries ...
