High-Efficiency Microwave Plasma Jet
­Project ID: D2021-25 Background Plasma jets are currently made with bulky and expensive equipment that consumes a lot of energy. Most commercially available plasma jets utilize high-voltage pulses (e.g., 100s of V to kV) or high-power radio frequency (RF) sources (e.g., 10s of W), even though low-power plasma with effective surface power density...

Artificial Intelligence Based Platform for Medical Training, Skill Optimization, and Drug Use Prevention
Tech Id: D2020-06 Background: Currently, training or education across multiple domains and professions is completed using a “one size fits all” curriculum, where there is no dynamic personalization for a given learner. Instead, mission critical professions such as healthcare, emergency first responders, and the military often use pass/fail...

Emulsion Formation using corona discharge and electrohydrodynamic pumping
Project ID: D2020-22 Background Making water-in-oil emulsions often requires high pressure, ultrasonication, or sensitive inversion techniques that may still only result in a semi-stable colloid. In addition to emulsion shelf life, these techniques have drawbacks, such as having high-energy consumption and narrow/sensitive production parameters, needing...

Fluorescent labeling and B cell phenotyping of PPS specific B cells
Project ID: D2011-08 Description: The phenotype of B cells responsible for the production of anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide antibody has been unclear. Although individuals that respond poorly to the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS) vaccine, Pneumovax, are profoundly deficient or lack IgM memory cells (CD27+IgM+), they are also deficient...

Spontaneous Type I Diabetes Mouse Model
Project ID: D2015-60 Background Although the NOD mouse is the current standard for studies of type I diabetes (T1D), no curative therapies resulting from this model have passed clinical trials. Knock in/out models cannot be used to mimic the total pathophysiology of diabetes. In order to develop a cure for T1D, there is a need for an animal model...

Methods for detecting exposure to cyantoxins
Project ID: D2018-46Background Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are becoming more frequent worldwide due to factors such as temperature increase and pollution. Microcystins (MC) are carcinogenic toxins released by the algae during a blooms. MC exposure can occur via skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion and can cause illness in people and animals. MC detection...
