THE SPECIFIC AIM OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS TO PURIFY TO HOMOGENEITY ACIDIC A-D-MANNOSIDASE FROM HUMAN PLACENTAS AND BOVINE KIDNEYS. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT BY EMPLOYING A COMBINATION OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES ON AFFINITY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANION EXCHANGE, AND/OR HIGH PERFORMANCE GEL FILTRATION MATRICES, HOMOGENEOUS ACIDIC A-D-MANNOSIDASE WILLBE OBTAINED. THIS WILL PERMIT THE GENERATION OF POLYC ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MINIATURIZED ALL SOLID STATE MAGNETIC SENSOR CHIP IS PROPOSED. THE SENSOR EXPLOITS THE MAGNETOELASTIC RESPONSE OF AN AMORPHOUS METAL FILM. PHASE I RESEARCH IS DIRECTED TOWARDS ESTABLISHING THE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF THE PROPOSED SOLID STATE MAGNETIC SENSOR, IDENTIFYING THE CRUCIAL MATERIAL PARAMETERS THAT DETERMINE THE MAGNETIC SENSOR PERFORMANCE, AND DETERMINING THE PROPOS ...

A NOVEL APPROACH TO SENSITIVE DIRECT ANALYSIS OF III-V COMPOUNDS AND OTHER SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS IS PROPOSED. FEASIBILITY DEPENDS ON THE SUCCESSFUL MODIFICATION OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE OF A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS SPECTROMETER (ICP/MS). FOR ROUTINE BULK ANALYSIS OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATES, EPITAXIAL FILMS, DOPANTS, OR SOURCE MATERIALS, THE FOLLOWING CONCEPT IS PR ...

DEFEAT OF COMBAT VEHICLES IS PRINCIPALLY SOUGHT THROUGH DIRECT-FIRE WEAPONS AND THE EFFECTS OF CONVENTIONAL MUNITIONS. THE DESIRED EFFECT IS FIRST TO ACHIEVE A CATASTROPHIC KILL (K-KILL) OR, FAILING THAT, TO INFLICT A FIREPOWER OR MOBILITY KILL. ADVANCEMENT IN ARMOR PROTECTION HAS SHOWN, HOWEVER, THAT ANTIARMOR WEAPONS/MUNITIONS CAN BECOME MARGINALLY EFFECTIVE IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD. CHEMICAL AGEN ...

A PHASE I PROGRAM IS PROPOSED TO METHODICALLY EXAMINE AND ORGANIZE BATTLEFIELD METEOROLOGICAL DATA AND INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF ARMY MISSION AREAS. A KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING PROCEDURE IS DISCUSSED THAT WILL FIRST IDENTIFY KEY AVAILABLE BATTLEFIELD METEOROLOGICAL RESOURCES AND SECONDLY DEVELOP AN EXPERT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE. IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF THE EXPERT SYSTEM WILL ALSO BE UNDERTAKEN. ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM CONSISTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TECHNIQUE AND A SYSTEM TO MEASURE THE RADIOACTIVE DECAY OF OF RADWASTE CONTAINED IN STORAGE CANISTERS, CASKS AND VAULTS. THE SYSTEM BEING CONSIDERED DEALS WITH THE DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF THE AFTERHEAT BEING GENERATED IN THE RADWASTEVOLUMES. THE SYSTEM TO BE USED TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH MEASURE MENTS CONSISTS OF A HEAT FLUX SENSOR ENVELOPE THAT SURROU ...
