In a previous National Science Foundation SBIR project, the developer created an online platform that uses songs to support mathematical learning. In the current project, the team will develop a prototype of a component of a platform to guide students in creating and producing their own music videos about algebra. The prototype will include a video production application, features to enhance learn ...

Check-in Check-out (CICO) is a widely used behavioral intervention for elementary and middle schools centered on goals, feedback, and communication with parents about daily behavioral performance. This project will develop a prototype platform to streamline and automate the delivery of CICO. The prototype will include an app, a user-friendly interface, and a dashboard to track progress and capture ...

Military working dogs (MWDs) have been an integral part of the US military since its inception. Currently, these working dogs are assigned to every branch of the US military and are deployed worldwide. These dogs are frequently deployed into military field environments that can at times be quite hazardous. Current decontamination protocols for military working dogs are limited and fail to address ...

Moving target defense (MTD) is a cyber defense strategy in which a set of system configurations are dynamically changed to increase uncertainty and complexity for adversaries that try to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. While MTD is considered as a potential game changer in cyber defense, existing MTD solutions for military networks (and enterprise networks) are not sufficient in thwarting ad ...

To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) requires a container for the safe transportation of chemically or biologically contaminated materials, in accordance with DOD, federal and international standards.These materials must be packaged in a manner so that they arrive at their destination in good condition and without presenting a hazard to nearby persons during transport.The packaging requir ...

The novel RFCAT technology will allow for safe and rapid decontamination of biological agents on railroad and subway cars. The technology creates biocidal conditions on external and internal surfaces of the rail and subway cars. The technology has been demonstrated on building materials and will be modified for the surfaces found in rail and subway cars. Additionally the system will kill odor and ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur when the population of cyanobacteria in fresh or salt water explodes. HABs cause $14B in damages every year world-wide, because cyanobacteria release toxins into the water that threaten humans, livestock and native aquatic life. The only way to mitigate the damage from HABs is to detect them early and treat them with algicides as soon as possible. The problem is t ...

This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the development of novel low-cost multiparameter sensors that use a new lab-on-a-chip technology platform for enabling real-time, on-line and maintenance-free deployments within water distribution systems as well as most water collection systems (i.e., storm water, grey water, etc.). At the present time, increasingly stringent local, state, ...

Polyurethanes (PUs) are made by reacting two components, one of which has two or more hydroxyl (OH) groups (diol or polyol) while the second has two or more isocyanate (NCO) groups. Unfortunately, not only is the isocyanate component a powerful irritant, but sensitized subjects can suffer severe asthma attacks and even death when exposed to trace quantities that are well below permissible exposure ...
