 | This report covers efforts by the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawaii under the ONR-funded HEET Initiative that addresses critical technology needs for exploration/utilization of seabed methane hydrates and development/testing of advanced fuel cells and fuel cell systems. Methane hydrates work included: hydrate thermochemistry and kinetics; environmental impacts of methane release from seafloor hydrates; hydrate engineering applications; and international collaborative R&D. For fuel cells accomplishments included: test ... |

|
| The Army EQT Ordnance Environmental Program (OEP) is dedicated to funding replacements for substances causing environmental and/or occupational risks to health. As part of this program, each work unit is evaluated for environmental and occupational health impacts. The primary purpose of this work unit (PYRO 06-08) is to eliminate potassium perchlorate from the flash composition of the formulations for the M118 and M119 simulators. These simulators are used in training ... |

|
| The Worldview-2 satellite, scheduled for launch in 2009, will have a multispectral sensor with several additional spectral bands not available on current multispectral sensors. This research investigates the use of the additional yellow spectral band to derive bathymetry. A hyperspectral image acquired from the AVIRIS sensor was used as a substitute image for the Worldview-2 multispectral sensor. The image was processed using the Stumpf et al. (2003) ratio method to ... |

|
| The submarines of the U.S. Navy have normally been utilized as independent strategic assets throughout the history of the force. This vision of submarine operations must change. As the military continues to shift to operations focused on joint capabilities, the submarine force must break from the closed, protective, and risk averse culture of its past and push forward to increase its relevance to the operational commander. This break from the ... |

|
| Dot-ELISA, a technique that shares the same principles as the enzyme immunoassay, useful for detection of anti-Schistosoma mansoni antibodies in the sera of patients with Schistosoma mansoni infections. The antigens were fixed to the nitrocellulose strips, blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin in 0.05% Tween 20. Patient sera (40) and normal laboratory personnel sera (9) were applied to the sheet directly, without cutting the strips into small discs. The nitrocellulose ... |
