THE DIAGNOSIS BY LOW INTENSITY X-RAY IMAGING AND COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANNING (CAT SCANNING) OF EARLY TUMORS IN RODENTS SERVING FOR SAFETY EVALUATION OF CHEMICALS IN CARCINOGENESIS BIOASSAYS COULD GREATLY REDUCE THE TIME REQUIRED (AND HENCE THE COST) OF SUCH BIOASSAYS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TEST SUBSTANCE IS CARCINOGENIC. COMBINED WITH COMPUTERIZED IMAGE ANALYSIS TO MEASURE THE CROSS SECTIO ...

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK TO ASSIST IN ENERGY CONVERSATION ON A NATIONAL SCALE, BY PROVIDING A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR DETERMINING ENERGY INEFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS. DIAGNOSTIC EXPERTISE TO FACILITATE THIS TASK MUSTBE MADE AVAILABLE WIDELY ON A LOW COST PER SITE BASIS. HOWEVER, THIS EXPERTISE MUST BE DEPLOYED IN A TIMELY FASHION, PRECLUDING AN ACADEMIC TRAINING APPROACH. SIGNIFICANT EN ...

CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT OF WASTE WATERS IS GENERALLY EXPENSIVE, AND THE METALS REMOVED ARE NOT USUALLY RECOVERED.RECOVERY OF THESE STRATEGIC MATERIALS AWAITS THE DEVELOPMENTOF COST-EFFECTIVE, LOW-ENERGY-REQUIREMENT TECHNOLOGY. THIS PROGRAM RESEARCHES THE FEASIBILITY OF AN INNOVATIVE SEPARATION PROCESS BASED ON THE ADVANCED CONCEPTS OF MAGNETIC ABSORBENTS, BOUND LIQUID MEMBRANES, COUPLED TRANSPORT A ...

UNLIKE OTHER LIVESTOCK, THE EATING HABITS OF A POND FULL OF FISHES CANNOT BE DIRECTLY MONITORED. THIS LEADS TO IMPROPERFEEDING AND LIMITS THE FARMER'S ABILITY TO DETECT DISEASE AND CULTURE PROBLEMS. THIS PROPOSAL INVOLVES STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY OF MONITORING FISH FOOD CONSUMPTION BY INCORPORATING TRACE LEVELS OF ENCAPSULATED FLUORESCENT DYES IN FISH FOOD. THE TRACER RELEASE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF TH ...
