Abstract:Distracted driving could have severe repercussions leading to loss of life, loss of property, and expensive lawsuits. While there can be many reasons for the driver to get distracted, research shows that the probability of accidents from texting/web-surfing while driving is an order of magnitude… more
Abstract:Congestion due to a work zone can cause accidents, as the drivers may not be prepared to take sudden actions ahead of a work zone or in some cases may not have enough visibility/time. Transmitting alert messages in advance can enable the driver to take safety precautionary measures so that it is… more

Abstract:In Phase II, the PCCI Team will conduct the research and development required to extend the design of the multi-occupant, flexible, hyperbaric chamber to withstand an internal pressure of 165 feet of sea water (fsw), up from the 70 fsw design goal of the Phase I SBIR. This increased pressure rating… more
Abstract:Zeigler Bros., Inc. (ZBI) has teamed with Harrisvaccines, Inc. (HV) to develop a new aquafeed manufacturing platform for the practical application of underutilized feed additives. These include enzymes, immune-stimulating compounds and biologics that require specialized protection to ensure they… more
Abstract:Lack of decontamination in the event of a FAD outbreak amplifies the spread of disease and makes the outbreak even more challenging to contain,
despite strict regulations that enforce sanitation processes. The impact that widespread disease could have on the export market is along the lines… more
Abstract:The proposed project will result in an anthropometrically realistic and viable simulator for the testing, evaluation, and validation of firearms and
associated ammunition. The approach being taken to achieve the end device is to capture both the active and reactive system loads and dynamics of
both… more
Abstract:A Neutron detection device is an indispensable tool for power, medical, defense, and homeland
security applications. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons
is a serious threat in today’s world. Low cost, low power, high performance, rugged and portable
neutron… more
Abstract:The ideal semiconductor detector for the nuclear non-proliferation application should have good energy resolution, high detection efficiency, compact size, light weight, easy portability, low power requirments and low cost. In the proposed effort, we plan to continue our development of thallium… more
Abstract:The ideal semiconductor detector for nuclear monitoring should have good energy
resolution, high detection efficiency, compact size, light weight, easy portability and low
cost. In the proposed effort, we plan to develop a detector module for nuclear monitoring
based on thallium bromide (TlBr), a… more
Abstract:Proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat.
Prevention of their spread has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years. One of the
ways to passively determine the presence of nuclear weapons is to detect and identify
characteristic… more
Abstract:The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear missiles and “dirty bombs”
is a serious threat in the world today. Preventing the spread of these nuclear weapons has reached
a state of heightened urgency in recent years, more so since the events on September 11, 2001
and its… more
Abstract:At present, trains use various dissipative braking systems to slow and stop, and this significant braking energy is ultimately converted to heat and wasted. APEI, Inc. has proposed a hybrid tender which can capture and reuse a significant fraction of this braking energy (at least 50%). The hybrid… more
Abstract:Solid-state storage media, particularly solid-state drives (SSDs), present new challenges to forensic investigation that need to be addressed. The lowlevel
behavior of these drives is dramatically different than for mechanical hard disk drives-including what low-level data is available, how that… more
Abstract:Purpose: In education research, the standardized mean difference (symbolized by d) is the predominant effect size index. It is calculated as the difference between the treatment-group and control-group means, divided by the pooled standard deviation. Using d allows the impacts of education… more
Abstract:Hyperspectral remote sensing in the microwave offers the opportunity to substantially improve the atmospheric information provided to numerical weather prediction data assimilation systems, enabling advancements in forecast skill.
This Phase I project proposes a numerical study leading to… more
Abstract:The primary technical objective to be achieved during Phase II is the transition from the developed laboratory prototype, which clearly demonstrated the feasibility and superior outcomes of the approach, to a deployable system consisting of two key elements (the reference station - compression side… more
Abstract:Successful growth of novel halide scintillators SrI2:Eu and CLYC depends on a supply of highly pure precursor materials. CapeSym and SAFC will partner to provide holistic analysis of the nature of precursor impurities and their impact on scintillator performance. We will characterize light and heavy… more
Abstract:TlBr is a promising gamma radiation semiconductor detector material primarily due to its high Z component and high density. TlBr detectors, however, suffer from polarization at room temperature and degrade rapidly under applied bias. Polarization is associated with ionic conductivity in this… more
Abstract:The recent discovery of Eu activated alkali-earth halide scintillators promises to revolutionize

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
