The goal of the BRAMS effort is to develop a Blood Reserve Availability Assessment, Tracking, and Management System that will supplement the Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) by allowing users to manually enter data via a web-based system. The BRAMS Phase I effort successfully developed a web interface for collecting blood data and exporting that blood data to JMAR in the format specified by ...

We propose to design and develop Blood Reserve Availability Assessment, Tracking, and Management System (BRAMS) that will supplement the Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) by allowing users to manually enter data via a web-based system. BRAMS will implement data integrity and access control mechanisms to ensure that the data entered is valid, and not duplicated by other data sources. Our expe ...

Nanomodified Carbon/Carbon Composites (NCCC) for intermediate temperature structures will be developed by combining selective nanoparticles in cyanate ester via optimum processing, followed by curing, carbonization and densification. These NCCC materials will exhibit improved thermo-oxidative stability beyond 700oF limit, involve lower cost NCCC materials, and replace titanium for structural comp ...

Our goal is to facilitate visualization of event information using a novel event extraction paradigm that achieves accuracy close to that of human analysts and allows both a simplified customization to new domains and extraction of complex events expressed as an event extraction framework. The event extraction framework replaces the pattern-based paradigm with predictate-argument structures that a ...

Our new computational paradigm, Correlithm Object Technology, provides a fresh approach to the development of polymorphic and/or metamorphic software tools. We will use this paradigm to develop tools to transform software applications and input data into high-dimensional bounded spaces where actual program execution will occur, then transform output data back into standard formats. While in the hi ...

With the ever increasing importance of reducing the environmental impact of CO2 and nitrogen oxide (NOx) producing vehicles and aircraft, designers of vehicle propulsion systems are facing greater and greater challenges. In addition to reducing emissions in these systems, any modifications to existing systems must adhere to strict safety, performance, and cost requirements. Electric vehicle prop ...

Rapid detection and unambiguous identification of chemical warfare agents is vital for efficient use of military and civil defense resources. While a variety of detection technologies are currently available, field-deployable systems such as the M21 passive IR standoff detector and the CAM/ICAM ion mobility detector are prone to false alarms due to the presence of interfering species. Combining ...

With increasing numbers of US Military personnel engaged in overseas missions the Army Corps of Engineers are involved in the construction of necessary runways, bridges, and other structures needed for the rapid forward deployment of troops. Many of these construction endeavors will require altering the physical properties of the soil surrounding the construction site such as dewatering or soil h ...

In order to obtain and maintain battle space dominance through rapid force insertion it is necessary to have the ability to construct and maintain theatre landing zones, runways etc., that may be undersized, under strength or severely deteriorated. Modern construction and engineering techniques does not have the capabilities to rapidly upgrade or construct contingency sites to support future forc ...
