Project 8 Phase III Design Concept

MICRO-HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT PHASE III Design Team

Phase III development of a micro-hydroelectric power generating system is focused on enhancing the system designed by Phases I and II. The previous phases focused on the use of the Gorlov Helical Turbine (GHT) to derive power from a fresh water environment, specifically the Stevens River in Vermont. Phase III exclusively focused on deriving power from an ocean environment and the construction o...

The Cornell TIPSTER Phase III Project

The overall objective of the Cornell University TIPSTER Project was to improve end-user efficiency in information retrieval systems by reducing the amount of text that the user must process [1]. The project focuses on high precision IR, near-duplicate detection and context-dependent summarization. The two main foundations of the research are the latest version of the Smart system for informatio...

Design of Phase III Clinical Trials

Phase III trials of targeted anticancer therapies: redesigning the concept.

Randomized phase III trials provide the gold-standard evidence for the approval of new drugs: an experimental treatment is compared with the current standard of care to identify clinically relevant differences in a predefined endpoint. However, there are several problems relating to the current role of phase III trials in drug development including the limited clinical benefit observed for some...

The Music Ball Project: Concept, Design, Development, Performance

We report on the Music Ball Project, a longterm, exploratory project focused on creating novel instruments/controllers with a spherical shape as the common denominator. Besides a simple and attractive geometrical shape, balls afford many different types of use, including play. This has made our music balls popular among widely different groups of people, from toddlers to seniors, including thos...
