We will extend recent observations regarding the discovery and characterization of alloreaction-a-ssociated antigen (ARAg), a novel member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily selectively expressedon leukocyte subsets. ARAg surface expression is increased on T lymphocytes in response to allogeneic,but not by mitogenic, stimuli and anti-ARAg monoclonal antibody (mAb) P1C5 specifically blocks this ...

3DGeo will implement a graphical user interface (GUI) built on top of the Globus Toolkit 3.0 (GT3) middleware and complying with the Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) standard. This GUI will be a convenient interface for computational resource discovery, computational resource monitoring, and workflow submission to the Grid. These features will be built into 3DGeo?s Java-based INSP system - ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a grid-enabled environment where large multidimensional seismic data sets can be rapidly accessed, visualized, and interpreted by geographically dispersed users with heterogeneous local resources. The proposed work will transform the Phase I prototype into production-ready commercial quality software, and demonstrate it o ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will implement and demonstrate the feasibility of a new technology that enables enhance seismic resolution and imaging of deep water complex geologic structures by using variable azimuth wave-equation migration (VAWEM). VAWEM will provide much greater resolution and accuracy than what can be accomplished today for towed marine stre ...

The overall objective of this project is to develop an automatic adaptive testing system that rapidly identifies specific cognitive deficits to aid in medical and operational decision making. This system will greatly increase the usability of test systems developed under Army sponsorship during the last 20 years, resulting in a product with broad application in both military and civilian environm ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Activity-based probes (ABPs) for broad protein families will be used to establish protein-based activity profiles for the diagnosis/prognosis/staging of breast cancer and identification of new markers that can be used

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Activity-based probes (ABPs) for broad protein families will be used to identify novel protein targets and small molecule leads relevant to ovarian cancer. Because ovarian cancer is often asymptomatic during its ear

We propose to create a prototype of a shape and structure capture system which can construct accurate, realistic three dimensional models of typical commercial and residential building interiors from video imagery taken with a freely moving handheld camera. A precision inertial motion measurement unit will be developed and mounted on the camera and its measurements recorded with the video. We will ...

We propose to use the principles of projective geometry and image feature extraction, tracking, and matching techniques to construct accurate, detailed three dimensional models from imagery taken with a freely moving airborne or camera. We also propose to develop methods of detecting and segmenting moving objects in complex scenes using an adaptation of existing projective geometry techniques. Cam ...
