Alphavirus infection, which may cause encephalitis and death, are recognized as potential biological warfare agents. There are no approved medical countermeasures against diseases caused by Alphaviruses. In this project, thermostable single domain antibodies capable of crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB) and neutralizing encephalitic viruses will be developed using Abzymes proprietary in vivo S ...

Rock West Solutions' Phase 1 objective is to design, model, and report performance on a radiation spectrometer for use in drive by, low signal count, applications.We will design a custom sensor for DTRA's unique mission and apply our Sparse Signature Identification algorithm to provide isotope identification with confidence assessment for DTRA's mission.

Recent advancements in sensor simulation tools [2] have improved our ability to model radar, lidar, camera, and GPS with software/hardware in the loop. Of course, our ability to model the physics of heavy trucks [3] is quite mature as well. To address the challenge of developing the STE, we will provide our autonomy algorithms as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). The focus of this topic ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype of SuperChem VR, a game to support high school students' basic chemistry learning. The prototype will include a set of web-based laboratory modules which will be integrated within a virtual reality headset to allow for a 360-degree visual exploration of the environment. The prototype will also include teacher resources for classroom implementatio ...

Patterns of electricity generation and consumption in the United States have rapidly changed over the past decade and are forecasted to continue doing so in coming decades. On the supply side, increasing generation from renewable sources has raised concerns about the ability of the electrical grid to stay stable given renewables’ intermittent and distributed nature, and has increased calls for n ...

Abstract

To address CBDs need for development of analytical approaches to fuse sensor data from multiple modalities to provide common operationalpictures in threat environments, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Wavelet-based Approach for Signal Processing andAnalysis (WASP). WASP is based on novel application of wavelet-based analysis to multimodel, multidimensional data available fr ...
