DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ABC transporters pump a variety of small molecules and peptides across cell membranes. Mutations in ABC transporter genes cause severe defects in man. Drugs that modulate ABC transporter function would have utility as anti-microbials through inhibition of essential microbial ABC transporters, as well as in the states of atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, di ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ABDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE REASONING ALGORITHMS THAT WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (FCS) MAINTENANCE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND THAT WILL OVERCOME MANY OF THE LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGY. A FOCUS OF THE EFFORT WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CAPABILITY TO REASON ABOUT FSC FAULTS AT A SYSTEM LEVEL WITH UNCERTAIN INFORMATION. ...
