This SBIR aims at developing a high-fidelity, yet efficient and easy-to-use, composite rotor blade and wing section design environment to facilitate rapid and confident aeromechanics assessment during conceptual design stages. A well-known technical barrier for composite rotor blade and wing section design is the lack of an efficient, user friendly, high-fidelity design tool to realistically repre ...

Not Available Chemical weapons are highly lethal, inexpensive weapons of mass destruction. Present methods for detection of exposure to sulfur mustard are expensive and time-consuming. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for the development of rapid, simple, and reliable detection methods capable of monitoring of toxic compounds for clinical treatment and diagnosis after exposure to sulfur mus ...

Lyme disease is a multi-systemic infection and is caused by the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is the common vector for B. burgdorferi. The purpose of this project is to develop an anti-I. scapularis vaccine to block tick attachment and tick-mediated disease transmission. . Rabbits or guinea pigs infested with I. scapularis acquire antibody- mediated resist ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lyme disease is a multi-systemic infection caused by the pathogen Borrelia burgdorjeri. The black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is the common vector for B. burgdorferi. This tick also transmits the agents of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis and babesiosis. The purpose of this project is to develop an anti-I. scapiilaris vaccine to block tick attachment and tic ...

A commercially viable vaccine for the prevention of West Nile virus infection is the overall objective of this project. West Nile virus was isolated for the first time in the Western hemisphere in 1999, when seven New York patients died as a result of a West Nile virus outbreak. The virus is still present in North America. A vaccine will be an important complement to other public health measures, ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A commercially viable recombinant subunit vaccine to prevent West Nile virus infection is the overall objective of this project. West Nile virus was isolated for the first time in North America in 1999. In less than three years, the geographical distribution of the virus expanded dramatically in the United States. A vaccine will be an important complement to ...
