NASA is seeking proposals for innovative research in the areas of on-orbit positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). Tahoe RF is proposing to build a fully integrated radiation hardened beam steerable GPS receiver front end system that will support NASA's requirements for onboard navigation systems for on-orbit near-earth missions. This frontend system, termed "BeamDirect", will not only provide NASA with a software configurable radio receiver for all of the GPS frequency bands, but will also provide ability to do beamforming and beamsteering under software control. Tahoe RF is uniquely positioned to develop this system for NASA for two reasons. First, Tahoe RF has a proven core competency for the design of high performance multiple integrated GPS receivers on a single die. Second, Tahoe RF has recently demonstrated the feasibility of an integrated monolithic beamformer Integrated Circuit (IC) that employs LO phase-shifting techniques through coupled oscillator array. Both of these systems (GPS receiver ICs and beamformers IC) were developed in IBM SiGe process that inherently provides radiation tolerance. Hence by integrating both of these technologies, Tahoe RF can uniquely provide a fully integrated, miniaturized, radiation hardened beam-steerable GPS frontend receiver system.

A key component of NASA's human exploration programs is a system that monitors the health of the crew during the space missions. The wearable physiological monitor proposed by Linea Research Corporation can be used to continuously observe the beat to beat blood pressure. The monitor can be used to observe the physiological effect of various countermeasures against prolonged exposures to reduced gravitational environments. The proposed device will allow the monitoring of the pharmacological effect on blood pressure over prolonged periods. Currently, beat to beat monitoring of blood pressure is done primarily in hospital settings through invasive procedures involving percutaneous insertion of catheters into the radial or brachial arteries. While non-invasive beat to beat blood pressures based on either the Penaz method or arterial applanation tonometry are currently available, they each have limitations. In addition, all monitors are based on large stationary equipment that requires the subject to be immobile. Successful implementation of the proposed program will result in an accurate wearable beat to beat blood pressure measurement.

Toxic outbreaks of species of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium have become pervasive in the Puget Sound region over the last two decades, escalating the threats to human health, but a newer algal threat from the toxigenic diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia, appears poised to repeat this toxic invasion. Increasing anthropogenic influences have been suggested to facilitate and exacerbate these harmful algal blooms (HABs), but there is preliminary evidence that advection of seed blooms from outside Puget Sound instead may be responsible for some of these toxic outbreaks. Attaining a predictive capability for these bloom events in Puget Sound and identifying steps to mitigate their effects depends on quickly gaining an understanding of the conditions that promote bloom initiation, maintenance, and transport. The existing monitoring and management program for paralytic shellfish toxins in Puget Sound is not designed for, or capable of monitoring these increasing alternate HAB outbreaks, nor can it ascertain what steps might be taken to potentially limit the spread of these alternate HABs throughout Puget Sound, as occurred with Alexandrium. To better attain these goals, the Partnership for Enhanced Monitoring and Emergency Response to Harmful Algal Blooms and Vibrio in Puget Sound (SoundToxins) is proposed as a regional forum for collaboration and cooperation among federal, state and local agencies, coastal tribes, marine resource-based businesses, public interest groups, and academic institutions to manage the prediction of and response to the above HAB species and Vibrio species in Puget Sound using a practical blend of emerging and proven technologies. The project objectives are as follows: 1. Identify logistically-feasible and management-relevant sentinel sampling sites for studying the early onset and establishment of toxic HABs and Vibrio. 2. Identify the subset of environmental conditions that promote the onset & flourishing of HABs and Vibrio. 3. Determine whether HABs or Vibrio initiate in Puget Sound or develop from seed populations advected into the Sound from the ocean or British Columbia. 4. Coordinate with Vibrio sampling and determine what linkages there are to Vibrio outbreaks and certain species of phytoplankton, including HABs. Dataset contains oceanographic data (e.g. Temperature, Salinity, Chlorophyll), nutrient concentrations, marine toxin data, relative abundances, and cell counts of harmful algal species such as Pseudo-nitzschia, Alexandrium, Heterosigma, and Dinophysis for various locations in Puget Sound.

Advanced composite materials processable by cost-effective manufacturing play an important role in developing lightweight structures for future exploratory missions. With growing demand for improved mission performance and reductions vehicle mass, advances in polymer systems with extreme thermo-mechanical properties are critical. The primary objective of ATSP Innovations' Phase I work will be to fabricate and test low cost aromatic thermosetting copolyesters (ATSP): (1) for high performance composite structures for high temperature applications, (2) with high resistance to microcracking at cryogenic temperatures for use in next generation spacecraft missions. Our team partner, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will assist ATSP Innovations to perform advanced characterization and provide technical support for this project. ATSP Innovations and UIUC have developed ATSP for high performance composites that are stable at high temperatures and have an intrinsic resistance to microcracking. The liquid crystallinity of the polymer results in a local matching of CTE between fiber and matrix yielding minimal thermal residual stress in composites and higher fracture toughness than current resin systems. These capabilities allow the ATSP to address a wide range of current and future applications (at both cryogenic and high temperature regimes) critical to future NASA missions. The synthetic development of ATSP was a major innovation in the field of polymer science. ATSP shows excellent performance as adhesives, flame resistant foams, and tribological wear coatings. ATSP resins possess the unique attribute among high temperature thermosets of solid-state bonding in a fully cured state to produce chemically contiguous specimens by Interchain Transesterification Reaction (ITR). This may open new modes of fabrication with relevance to NASA missions and the wider aerospace industry.

Nest density and nest success of ducks in native and nonnative grasslands within the Devils Lake WMD, Northeastern North Dakota. Waterfowl representing 8 species of prairie nesting ducks were systematically surveyed from lateApril thru late August, 2010 2013 to compare nest density, nest success and vegetative structure used by nesting ducks in either native restoration sites or nonnative planted vegetation commonly known as dense nesting cover DNC. We located 4,286 waterfowl nests over 4 breeding seasons. Nest densities in native restored uplands averaged 1.13 .48 nests per acre compared with 1.41 .12 for DNC. These results indicated that sampled nest densities were not equal .25 P .50 within these 2 cover types. Nest densities for 5 species of prairie nesting puddle ducks showed that they did not nest evenly across both habitat types examined .10 P .25. Average Mayfield nest success equaled 38 18 for natives compared to 48 10 for DNC; Mayfield results in either cover type over the 4 year study period is well above the minimal nest success of 15 needed to maintain prairie nesting waterfowl across northeast North Dakota. However, late season nest success in 2011 was lower than 15 in native restored uplands suggesting that perhaps predators, nest cover, prior years management, field location or all combined factors may contribute to explain the poor performance during that particular year. Nest success results for 2010, 2012 and 2013 indicated a more normalized and consistent nest success result within native vegetation; nest success remained very consistent in DNC sites throughout the 4 years of investigations. Finally, habitat structure at waterfowl nest sites differed, vegetation height and visual obstruction were significantly lower .10 p .05 in Native habitat versus DNC, litter depth was not significantly different in either field type. Performance within either native or nonnative cover type indicated that both restoration techniques used to restore upland habitats works well for prairie nesting ducks, but DNC has higher productivity both from a nest density and nest success perspective, especially for mallard and gadwall. However, plant species richness typified by native restoration sites may provide a more resilient habitat type especially in the face of more frequent climatic oscillations, and may provide more niches and more habitat structural diversity for a greater diversity of wildlife species. Published data suggests that nonnative grassland restorations lack resilience in the face of severe drought, and may be prone to accelerated invasion by noxious weeds and other nonnative invasive species. Also, Native upland restoration techniques may play a more pivotal role towards diversifying prairie landscapes in the long term as DNC is a much shorter lived habitat type. Native habitat restoration methods have proven to be adequate for producing adequate nest cover for prairie nesting ducks. A more diversified and resilient landscape is argued by climate scientists as one critical activity needed to retard impending climate change, this study provides a baseline effort showing that localized waterfowl production objectives can be achieved with native vegetation while potentially addressing a larger ecological question.
