TAC PROPOSES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF DETECTION AND LOCALIZING OIL DRUM SIZE OBJECTS ON/IN THE BOTTOM OF SURF ZONES. THE APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE PROBABILITIES AND DESIGN FEASIBILITY OF LOW FREQUENCY (20 TO 500 HZ) ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGNS IN A TOWABLE, SUBMERGED HYDROFOIL CONFIGURATION. DETECTION SYSTEMS WOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR LOCALIZATION BY EITHER NAVIGATIONAL FIX METH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP NEW ANALYTIC METHODS FOR CHARACTERIZING MINE WARFARE EFFECTIVENESS. IT WILL USE A COMBINATION OF A PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF SEQUENTIAL CHOICE OUTCOMES AND UNCERTAINTY IN SEQUENTIAL OUTCOMES. THE APPROACH WILL BE TO DEVELOP A SEQUENTIAL DESIGN ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE FOR INDIVIDUAL MINE FIELDS WHICH FULLY CHARACTERIZES SYSTEM PERFORMANCE LINKED TO OBJ ...

A STUDY IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMPUTER BASED MODEL FOR ADMINISTERING ASSESSMENT AND THERAPY TO MENTALLY RETARDED/DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED INFANTS AND CHILDREN. THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF PHASE I IS TO SURVEY CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AS THEY RELATE TO THERAPY AND PROVIDE A BASIS FOR A PHASE II RESEARCH PLAN. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE BASED SIMULATION OF A MODEL WILL BE ...

THE SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIC- ALLY EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR THE SEPARATIONAND PURIFICATION OF MULTIGRAM QUANTITIES OF HIGH POLYUN- SATURATES (E.G., EICOSAPNOIC ACID, EPA, C20:5W3; DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID, DHA, C22:6W3; AND ESTERS) FROM MARINE/FISH OILS, WITH THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF MAKING THESE AND POSSIBLY OTHER HIGH POLYUNSATURATES AVAILABLE FOR A WA ...

MAJOR AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON) ARE ESSENTIAL SIGNPOSTS FOR SAFE PASSAGE ALONG COASTAL AND OFFSHORE SEAWAYS. PRESENTLY, THEIR SIGNALS ARE POWERED BY ON-SITE ENGINE GENERATORS REQUIRING CONSIDERABLE AND COSTLY MAINTENANCE. ATON AUTONOMY WILL BE GREATLY INCREASED WITH DEEP DISCHARGE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY PROVIDING THAT ON-SITE CHARGING SOURCES ARE USED. AMONG NATURALLY AVAILABLE SOURCES, THE UNCEASING ...

THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A SERUM-FREE CHEMICALLY DEFINED MEDIUM FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH OF MAMMALIAN CELLS IN VITRO. THE SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO SOLUBILIZE, BY MEANS OTHER THAN THE USE OF CARRIER PROTEINS, FATTY ACIDS, ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID, FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS, AND CHOLESTEROL IN AN EXISTENT SERUM-FREE MEDIUM, CHEE'S ESSENTIAL MEDIUM (CEM). BESIDES HORMONES, GROWTH ...

QUALITATIVE ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAVE LEVELED OFF SUFFICIENTLY TO JUSTIFY THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USER, MULTI-FUNCTION, COMPREHENSIVE VISUAL TESTING INSTRUMENT FOR OPHTHALMOLOGISTS, VISUAL SCIENTISTS, AND OPTOMETRISTS. SUCH A SYSTEM COULD BE DEVELOPED WITH RELATIVE EASE WERE IT NOT FOR THE INDUSTRY STANDARD REFRESH RATE FOR GENERATING VIDEO IMAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, 60 HZ IS TOO SLOW FO ...
