Concentrations of most circulating hormones and their metabolites are too low for existing test strip technologies to measure. Laboratory measurements are based upon immunological binding of these hormones. Color tests utilizing colloidal gold or enzyme mediated color changes have been linked to immunological binding and applied to hormones to yield non-quantitative yes or no tests. These methods ...

The proposed research seeks to develop an automated method for searching a reuse reposing or and retrieving reusable software components using algebraic specifications. Each component in the repository has an associated algebraic specification that describes both the type signature of its interface and its computational behavior. The OBJ3 language and system is used to do equational reasoning vi ...

Enterprises today rely heavily upon a wide variety of modeling methods and modeling technologies for the development of requirements for complex, software intensive systems. In general, however, (i) the different modeling methods provide very different perspectives on system information, (ii) models created with these methods are expressed in very different modeling languages, and (iii) models ar ...

Omni-directional microstrip antenna system integrally located on a soldier's helmet for secure and reliable communications in the battlefield is the subject matter of this proposed innovative research. The antenna system consist of (N+1) circular microstrip patch elements integrally located on the soldier's helmet to provide omni-directional coverage with acceptable antenna gain for all positions ...

DMA is now publishing its city graphi product at 1:25,000 scale in the Vector Product Format (VMap 3). The problem is that the level of detail in the product is insufficient when measured against the needs of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) and the Modeling and Simulation (M&S) communities. The SOF requires highly detailed information for planning and rehearsal, particularly for Operations O ...

This proposal responds to the DOD requirement for a dendrimer-based coating to protect materials from chemical agent contamination and degradation due to environmental and POL (petroleum, oil, lubricant) exposure. The benefits of such protection include enhanced reliability, improved safety, reduced maintenance costs, and extended service life. The development of a low energy coating based on th ...

We have developed a new ground penetrating radar (GPR) which exploits stepped frequency technology and uses innovative spatial and temporal signal processing techniques to produce detailed, three dimensional images of buried objects. The resulting images are a significant improvement of ver images produces by conventional GPR. Our new GPR uses a pair of transmit-receive antennas and stepped freq ...

Radiometric Corporation proposes to apply a new microwave technology to profiling of atmospheric water vapor. Water vapor is the most significant and most highly variable of greenhouse gases. It is also the most significant and highly variable atmospheric constituent in the formation of weather and in the transfer of atmospheric heat. Yet it remains one of the most poorly characterized of meteo ...
