 | The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training and Evaluation Unit TWO (EODTEU TWO) trains Explosive Ordnance and Disposal (EOD) and Mobile Diving and Salvage (MDS) companies and platoons prior to worldwide deployments. This thesis describes EODSKED, an optimization model designed to assist EODTEU TWO in scheduling platoons that optimizes the use of limited resources and maximizes training value. EODSKED produces an optimized schedule that respects a large number of manpower and materiel ... |

| The ability to return to running and sports participation after lower extremity limb salvage has not been well documented previously. Although the ability to ambulate without pain or assistive devices is generally a criteria for a good limb salvage outcome, many patients at our institution have expressed a desire to return to a more athletic lifestyle to include running and sports participation. The purpose of this study was to investigate ... |

| The United States Navy owns four salvage ships and four towing ships that will reach the end of their 40-year life expectancy in 2019. The program manager for these vessels has a set of desirable performance requirements for a new ship class, T-ARS(X), which combines the capabilities from both the salvage and towing ship classes. The need to develop a recapitalization strategy based on either designing a new ship class ... |

| Most conclusions that we have reached about pulmonary oxygen toxicity at an oxygen partial pressure of 1.3 atm have been obtained from shallow dives with 100% oxygen. To confirm that results are valid for the MK 18 MOD 1, we compared effects of 8-hour dives at a depth of 50 feet (50% oxygen) to those previously attained at 12 to 14 feet. Seventeen U.S. Navy divers dove underwater in the ... |

| The U.S. Army is responsible for thousands of World War II-era wooden temporary buildings that must be removed in order to reduce Department of Defense (DoD) real property inventories. Most of those buildings were used long past their intended service lives and were well maintained. They contain large quantities of reusable wood materials with a significant potential resale value. Standard demolition procedures would destroy the value of that material and ... |

| TTNatural and semisynthetic gangliosides protect neurons from toxin-induced cell death and salvage neurons after toxin exposure. The hydrophilic property of gangliosides restricts their blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, which hinders their use as neuroprotective agents. Gangliosides semisynthetic derivatives with improved cytoprotective properties and BBB permeability can be produced. Even with gangliosides great therapeutic promise, no study has examined ganglioside functional group derivatives that would provide cytoprotection AND effectively cross the BBB; ... |

| The tourniquet has been used for over 300 years for effective hemorrhage control during surgery and trauma. However, tourniquets are far from benign, causing a host of complications collectively known as tourniquet injury. A tremendous body of clinical experience and scientific research has resulted in principles of safe use and advances in tourniquet design, minimizing tourniquet injury under clinical conditions. Unfortunately, battlefield conditions preclude adherence to these safe principles and ... |

| There are long-held beliefs regarding temperature effects on dive outcome. One accepted tenet is that decompression sickness (DCS) risk increases during exposures to cold water. It is also commonly held that post-dive hot water showers encourage the onset of DCS. The question of thermal effects on DCS was raised most recently in response to observations of DCS cases after the introduction of hot water suits during the salvage effort for ... |

| The gas produced during underwater testing of 3 cutting systems was collected and analyzed to assess the explosion hazard related to the 3 processes. The underwater plasma cutting system produced up to 6% H2, while the UK cutting rod produced up to 95% H2. As the lower flammable/explosive limits of H2 in air are 4%, H2 safety issues are potentially related to using both these cutting processes. However, the explosive ... |

| When ships reach the end of their useful lives, the U.S. Government must find ways to dispose of them. Although several options exist, the most prevalent disposal option is to salvage the ships for scrap. Because ships often contain a variety of hazardous substances, ship scrapping can, if done improperly, pose dangers to human health and the environment. Indeed, safety issues have recently risen to the forefront of a national ... |

| The current U.S. Navy fleet diver physical screening test has been found to be a poor predictor of representative physically demanding job performance. A mismatch between diver physical capabilities and job requirements may increase the risk of injury and decrease productivity. To improve physical selection procedures, an Experimental Fitness Battery (EFB) was validated against representative physically demanding diving tasks. The EFB contained measures of body composition, power, muscular strength. and ... |

| The burden on military medical services in handling burn casualties is daunting as all physiological systems will become affected. Severe burns in a battlefield setting have a very low salvage rate, to a great degree because of the immune failure which invariably develops. Evaluations of responses of lymphocytes taken from burn patients over several weeks following the burn (> 30% TBSA), have revealed that the immune failure which follows thermal ... |

| Inhalation injury complicated by bacterial pneumonia is now one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with thermal injury. We have investigated the use of high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) as a means of ventilatory support for these patients. We propose that high- frequency ventilation may decrease the incidence of pulmonary infection following inhalation injury and decrease the incidence of iatrogenic barotrauma caused by conventional ventilation. High-frequency ventilation ... |

| Polyurethane foam is made by mixing MDI (Polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate) and polyol together with a blowing agent such as freon, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen. This mixture expands, then hardens. Battelle investigated developments in polyurethane foam formulations and emplacement equipment, to determine what technology could be adapted for underwater foaming. These studies concluded that the combination of high pressure impingement mixing technology (HPIM) and a fast reacting foam formulation would produce ... |
