Defects of mitochondrial performance limit physical and cognitive endurance, and resistance to age-related deterioration and trauma. However large scale screens to identify drug-like compounds that improve mitochondrial function have not taken place, bec

Currently large capacity cryostats, capable of hosting experiments for many qubits, require expensive and hard to obtain liquid cryogens. A few small cryo-free systems exist but they are non-ideal for this use. An opportunity exists for a large scale, c

An eye-safe optically pumped laser based on a gas-filled hollow optical fiber will be demonstrated to lase at both near infrared (IR) and mid IR wavelengths. These lasers will be the first in a new class of IR lasers, based on the combination of hollow-f

The development of advanced, realtime, operator-in-the-loop tire/track/soil models, which can predict power and energy requirements, is an essential requirement for determining operational profiles for vehicles, especially hybrids, during the design and d

We propose to develop variable fidelity acoustic propagation models and combine them with GIS, optimization, and visualization software in order to create site-specific real-time decision aid tools for optimal sensor placement. High fidelity finite-differ

The Phase I effort was successful in experimentally showing feasibility of a combined isotope transmitter that can be developed and demonstrated under the Phase II program. The initial experimental results give the window of gas mixtures for a stable discharge. Laser extraction tests were accomplished with C12/C13 mixtures to give guidance for further work to increase laser gain. For application ...
