N/A

THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A DISTRIBUTED DATA MANAGEMENT NETWORK FOR CANCER CLINICAL TRIALS. THE NETWORK WILL BE MICROCOMPUTER BASED AND WILL HAVE AS ITS OBJECTIVE A CENTRALIZED DATABASE FOR MONITORING THE PROGRESSOF CLINICAL TRIALS. FEATURES WILL INCLUDE DATA ENTRY USING PREFORMATTED SCREENS, AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING, EDITING FACILITIES, DATA SECURITY, AND DATA TRANSFER CAPABILI ...

NO ABSTRACT AT THIS TIME

THIS RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE PERFORMANCE MEAUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED FOR AN ON-BOARD AIRCRAFT "EMBEDDED TRAINING" CAPABILITY APPLICABLE TO BOTH TRAINING AND MUNITION CONCEPT EVALUATION. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-BOARD SIMULATION OF THE MUNITIONS TO ACCOMPLISH SIMULATED LAUNCH, FLYOUT AND TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT WILL BE DETERMINED. AVAILABILITY OF REAL-WORLD INPUT ...

APPLIED GENETICS LABORATORIES, INC. PROPOSES TO UTILIZE NEWLY DEVELOPED MOLECULAR GENETIC TECHNIQUES TO ANALYZE THE SPECTRUM OF MUTAGENIC EVENTS THAT OCCUR AT THE TK AND HPRT LOCI IN MOUSE L5178Y CELLS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE STUDIES ISTO DETERMINE IF THE SPECTRUM OF GENETIC ABNORMALITIES REGISTERED AT THESE LOCI IS A FUNCTION OF THE HETEROZYGOUS/HOMOZYGOUS NATURE OF THE GENE LOCI INVOLVED, AND TO C ...

N/A

FOR PHASE I, APPLIEDMEASUREMENT SYSTEMS, INC. (AMSI) PROPOSES TO IDENTIFY AND ESTABLISH THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF A SELF-CONTAINED HULL POTENTIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR UNDERWAY SHIPS. THREE GENERIC APPROACHES ARE CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED: 1) MEASUREMENT SENSOR SELECTION, 2) ELECTRONIC/SOFTWARE DESIGN, AND 3) STRUCTURAL ARRANGEMENT DESIGN. MORE TECHNIQUES MAY RESULT FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE LITERATUR ...

THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF PRODUCING ONE-HALF OF A MEGAWATT OF ACOUSTIC POWER UNDERWATER AT A FREQUENCY OF 5 HZ IS ADDRESSED. THE EXPLOITATION OF THE RECENT INTRODUCTION OF NEW RARE EARTH PERMANENT MAGNET MATERIALS, THE CONCEPT OF USING A FLEXURAL DISC RADIATOR, AND THE RECENT CULMINATION OF TWO YEARS OF ELECTRODYNAMIC TRANSDUCER DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED. THE USE OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING, EXP ...

MOVING-COIL TRANSDUCERS ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH LOW POWER, LOW EFFICIENCY, BROADBAND AND VERY LOW FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS. THE RECENT INTRODUCTION OF RARE EARTH PERMANENT MAGNETIC MATERIALS HAVING HIGH ENERGY DENSITIES AND THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER DESIGN TECHNIQUES SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, POWER HANDLING ABILITY, AND HIGH FREQUENCY OPERATION. THE APPLICATION OF THESE IMPROVEMEN ...

HEARING TESTING OF NEWBORNS AND INFANTS USING AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSES (ABR) HAS GAINED WIDESPREAD ACCEPTANCE AND HAS COME TO BE PREFERRED OVER OTHER LESS ACCURATE TECHNIQUES. ABR'S STRENGTH IS ITS DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF AUDITORY FUNCTION, WHICH RESULTS IN HIGH TEST SPECIFICITY AND SENSITIVITY. CLINICAL USE OF ABR, HOWEVER, IS STILL LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE PROFESSIONAL LABOR-INTENSIVE OPERATION ...
