PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT As people age they steadily lose bone mass and their bones become fragile and increasingly prone to hip and other fractures and this can prove fatal The American College of Radiology therefore recommends that assessment of bone mineral density BMD be performed in post menopausal women and all people over the age of every two years If indicated preventive measure ...

For effective protection against EMP and HPM threats, it is important to understand the physics of the threats, and also to quantify the effects they have on electrical systems. EMP and HPM vulnerability testing requires delivery of high peak power and electric fields to distant targets. The most practical solution to simulate such environments is to develop a modular, optically-isolated MV-antenn ...

ABSTRACT Traditional approaches to drug development for Alzheimer s disease are becoming increasingly expensive and in many cases disappointingly unsuccessful Based on preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies we have identified a novel small molecule methyl dimethyl oxo dihydrobenzo c naphthyridine carboxylate UK that significantly decreases A production and pro in ...

Establish a radiation-aware analysis capability in a commercial EDA design flow that will enable first-pass success in radiation-hardened by design (RHBD) for DoD ASICs in much the same way that existing EDA design suites ensure first pass functionality and performance success of complex ASICs destined for commercial applications. Layout-aware, calibrated single-event radiation models that captur ...
