The Department of Defenseisconcerned about adverseeffects ofcircadian rhythm misalignment on sleep hygiene and well-being ofservice members and veterans who suffer from symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Intelligent Automation, Inc., University of Central Florida RESTORES center and Raytheon IDS, proposeto develop PTSD SleepAid, an end-to-end sleep treatment system that monitors an ...

Traumatic injury accounts for 14.2% of all fatalities. Clinical management of trauma often requires massive plasma transfusions. However, in critical combat casualty care or in civilian emergency trauma care, plasma of compatible blood group may not be readily available. Transfusion with incompatible plasma may result in potentially fatal hemagglutination in the recipient. Typeless or universal pl ...

Compact Electromagnetic Pulse Module (EMP) capable of being arranged in series-parallel planar or cylindrical arrays is needed to simulate nuclear weapon effects. High gain optically triggered photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSS) based on Gallium arsenide (GaAs) with low timing jitter enables the development of planar or phased arrays of modular EMP or High Power Microwave (HPM) sources. ...

The discovery and commercial development of licensed vaccines often take many years of research followed by years of pre-clinical and clinical development. We propose to assess the feasibility of using a novel irradiation-inactivation technology to develop vaccines more rapidly. The technology utilizes a manganese-peptide complex to protect antigenic proteins from ionizing radiation while allowing ...

Cornerstone Research Group (CRG) and the University of Texas (UT) will team to develop a fast and accurate automated analysis program for USV scoring. This automated tool will enable greater research efficiency and throughput allowing greater strides in developing treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder through rodent-based research. Building off prior work by UT on a first generation auto-s ...

Ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) provide an excellent behavioral measure that can be used to understand the effects of traumatic stressors on behavior and can be used to screen and identify therapeutic treatments. This provides a strong justification for the use of rodent USVs as a model for emotional processing in PTSD. Since there are no commercially available USV assessment software programs tha ...

Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

The proposed research and technical objectives in this project deal with computerized automatic delayering and polishing system that would be applicable to both commercial and government semiconductor device research and development with applications including Failure Analysis (FA), Fault Isolation (FI), and Reverse Engineering (RE) of semiconductor microelectronic devices. This project could hel ...

Design Interactive Inc. (DI) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) propose to develop an Augmented reality Learning Environment for Refresher Training (ALERT) that provides realistic and relevant Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) scenarios using AR technologies integrated with mannequins for pre-deployment training and humans for deployed training environments. ALERT will facilitate learnin ...
