Inadequate and lacking sanitation and wastewater treatment systems can lead to the spreading of diarrhoeal diseases. One contributing factor in the lack of such treatment systems is the lack of economic incentives for stakeholders throughout the service chain. However, the organic fraction of the waste is high in valuable plant nutrients and could be reused in agriculture and as animal feed. Fo...

in England. The course thus adopted cut short the rather animated discussions of the Home papers on the subject, and for the present the question as to the best means, direct and indirect, of protecting the soldier from the effects of unavoidable exposure to heat is left in the stage of theory. Under these circumstances Indian experiences might reasonably be expected to afford a clue to the pre...

Not infrequently it happens that as a result of an injury or infection a soldier has to be invalided out of the Army on account of the partial or total loss of the index finger, or of its impaired mobility through ankylosis of the smaller joints. Though the injury is often trivial and the man is perfectly fit otherwise, not being able to grip the rifle and pull the trigger efficiently, he is us...

For the past 6 years, personnel from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have served as the independent evaluation team for two major Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs. DARPA ASSIST (Advanced Soldier Sensor Information System and Technology) is an advanced technology research and development program whose objective is to exploit soldier-worn sensor...

The spined soldier bug, Podisus maculiventris (Say), is an important biological control agent of agricultural and forest pests; and it preys on eggs and larvae of lepidopteran and coleopteran species. Genetic variability among field samples collected from Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Florida and established laboratory colonies was examined using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism-Polyme...

The Northrop Grumman Cordless Communications System (CCS) is a state-of-the-art, wireless communications system targeted for tomorrow’s armored battlefield. Through a single, hand-held or body-mounted Personal Communications Unit (PCU), the CCS provides the soldier with access to a digital, fullduplex wireless intercom, as well as the capability to simultaneously communicate over a point-to-poi...

Every year Soldiers become lost or injured. This project gives the ability to track where Soldiers are at any given moment. Search and rescue efforts become minimized in time and resources. Additionally, with alert feature Soldiers will be able to communicate their distress with GPS coordinate information. Location tracking has been of great importance since World War II, when military planners...
