THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CURRENTLY USE REDWORMS TO PROCESS ORGANIC KITCHEN WASTE TO REDUCE WASTE GOING TO LANDFILLS AND INCINERATORS. TEACHERS REPORT THAT A CLASSROOM WORM BIN EXCITES CHILDREN AND PROVIDES MULTIDISCIPLINARY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. RESEARCHERS ARE IDENTIFYING SUITABLE MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS TO IMPROVE THEIR TEACHING OF SCIENCE. EARTHWORMS PROVIDE ...

THE POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE HIGH INSULATING VALUE BY THE USE OF EVACUATED GLASS MICROSPHERES HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SOME TIME. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO SOLVE THE PRINCIPAL OBSTACLE TO THEIR USE, WHICH HAS BEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE TECHNIQUE TO PRODUCE EVACUATED MICROSPHERES. IF HOLLOW GLASS MICROSPHERES CAN BE EVACUATED AND COATED COST-EFFECTIVELY, THEIR UTILITY AS INSULATI ...

A DIFFUSING-VORTEX METHOD, FOR SOLVING THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESS NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION, WILL BE EXTENDED AND APPLIED TO THE EXTERNAL INCOMPRESSIBLE VISCOUS FLOW OVER A GENERALLY SMOOTH BLUNT BODY. THE NUMERICAL ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER LAGRANGIAN VORTEX METHODS WILL BE FURTHER DEMONSTRATEDBY REDUCING TOTAL CPU TIME AND BY AVOIDING CUT-OFF PROCEDURES. THE NEW APPROACH WHICH IS AN APPROXIMATE EXP ...

THIS PROPOSAL OUTLINES A SIX-MONTH RESEARCH PROGRAM AIMED ATFUNDAMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF METAL SULFIDE CLUSTER-OXIDE SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR HYDRODESULFURIZATION (HDS). HYDRODESULFURIZATION REMAINS A POORLY UNDERSTOOD REACTION DESPITE VERY EXTENSIVE STUDY. THE USE OF CLUSTER-DERIVED CATALYSTS FOR HDS REPRESENTS A VERY NOVEL APPROACH TO ADVANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSIOCHEMICAL NATURE OF THE A ...

KMSF PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A REAL-TIME DISPLAY CAPABLE OF HOLOGRAPHICALLY PROJECTING A 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE. DURING THE PHASE I EFFORT, KMS WILL RESEARCH AND EXAMINE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART, ANALYZE EXISTING ELECTRONIC HOLOGRAPHY SYSTEMS, DESIGN A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A PROJECTED HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY FOR HOLOGRAPHIC STEREOGRAMS AND DEVELOP AN OPTIMIZED DESIGN FOR A HOLOGRAPHIC AUTO-ST ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO APPLY RADIATION TRANSPORT METHODS DEVELOPED TO STUDY CONTROLLED FUSION TO SIMULATE THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS. VIEWFACTOR METHODS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF TIME DEPENDENT RADIATION TRANSPORT IN ENCLOSURES. CODES DEVELOPED AT KMS FUSION, INC. (KMS) HAVE THE ABILITY, BELIEVED UNIQUE FOR VIEW FACTOR CODES, OF SOLVING TIME DEP ...
