EFFECTIVE LOW POWER GAS-LIQUID SEPARATION SYSTEMS ARE IMPERATIVE FOR THE OPERATION OF COST-EFFECTIVE TWO-PHASE FLOW SYSTEMS IN SPACE. THE LIMITATIONS ON THE VOLUMES AND WEIGHTS TO BE CARRIED FOR SPACE EXPERIMENTS MAKE IT IMPERATIVE TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO SEPARATE GASES FROM LIQUIDS IN ORDER TO RECYCLE AND REUSE BOTH. ONE EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO SO IS TO USE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. MANY PHASE SEPARATORS DEVICES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AND INVESTIGATED USING THIS FORCE AND PASSIVE SEPARATORS REQUIRING NO MOVING MECHANICAL PARTS AND LOW POWER HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED INTENSIVELY OWING TO THEIR SIMPLICITY AND DEPENDABILITY. MCQUILLEN ET AL. [1-3] AT NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER HAS DEVELOPED THE CASCADE CYCLONIC SEPARATION DEVICE (CSD-C). THIS FREE VORTEX SEPARATOR (FVS) IS VERY EFFICIENT FOR MID-RANGE VOID FRACTION (FROM 40 TO 80% OF GAS) WITH AN EFFICIENCY APPROACHING 100%. HOWEVER IT IS NOT AS EFFICIENT FOR LOWER VOID FRACTION.

ICORPS- A NUMERICAL PLATFORM FOR MICROBUBBLE ENHANCED SONOTHROMBOLYSIS -  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF PREDICATE SBIR OR STTR PHASE I GRANT AND TEAM THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF THE PARENT SBIR PHASE I AWARD THAT STARTED ON SEP. 17, 2024 IS TO DEVELOP A NUMERICAL PLATFORM WHICH CAN SERVE AS A RESEARCH TOOL DURING THERAPY DISCOVERY AND A TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM (TPS) DURING PRE-OPERATION PLANNING IN CLINIC, TO SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATE THE CLINICAL DEPLOYMENT OF MICROBUBBLE-AUGMENTED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (MBAFUS) FOR NON- OR MINIMALLY INVASIVE THROMBOLYSIS. SONOTHROMBOLYSIS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED IN THE LAB OF OUR NCSU PARTNERS TO PRESENT BOTH IMPROVED EFFICACY AND ENHANCED SAFETY OVER CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT METHODS FOR THROMBOSIS, WHICH IS A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AND DISABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COMPLEX MULTIPLE INTER- COUPLED MECHANISMS INVOLVING MB DYNAMICS, VISCOELASTIC STRUCTURE DYNAMICS, MB-FLOW AND MB CLOUD- BLOOD CLOT INTERACTIONS, THE PHYSICS OF MBAFUS FOR THROMBOLYSIS IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD YET, THUS FINDING OPTIMIZED TREATMENT PARAMETERS FOR A PATIENT-SPECIFIC CONDITION IS DIFFICULT. THIS POSES A MAJOR BARRIER TO EFFECTIVE CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND CALLS FOR A POWERFUL TPS OF SONOTHROMBOLYSIS. DURING THE 1ST WEEK OF PROJECT KICKOFF AND EXECUTION, WE REALIZED A) THE RISKS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT DUE TO THE INTERDEPENDENCY OF MAJOR TASKS; AND B) THE DIFFICULTIES TO CONDUCT SUFFICIENT EXPERIMENTS DUE TO THE BUDGET LIMIT OF PHASE I; ALSO THERE’RE C) POTENTIAL PITFALLS OF TPS DESIGN DUE TO THE LACK OF EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES FOR A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF CUSTOMER NEEDS. TO ADDRESS A), THE MAIN TASKS ARE DECOMPOSED INTO SUB-TASKS WHICH ARE ABLE TO BE CONDUCTED IN PARALLEL AMONG DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE THE STRUCTURE SUBGROUP IS WORKING ON THE MODELING AND CODING OF CLOT STRUCTURE DYNAMICS, THE MB SUBGROUP HAS STARTED THE PARAMETRIC STUDY OF MB CLOUD INTERACTING WITH AND RESULTING STRESS ON A RIGID STRUCTURE, WHICH REVEALS THAT A SPHERICAL MB CLOUD LEADS TO MUCH MORE DISRUPTIVE POWER THAN A CYLINDRICAL MB CLOUD. THIS TREND WILL BE VALIDATED FIRST IN EXPERIMENTS AND THEN USED TO GREATLY NARROW DOWN THE EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS, I.E. TO OVERCOME NOT ONLY A) BUT ALSO B). FINALLY, CONCERNING C), WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH THE INDUSTRY EXPERT (IE) THROUGH I- CORPS PROGRAM WHICH WILL RESULT IN NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP TO MAKE IT PRODUCT- ORIENTED, RATHER THAN TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN. THEREFORE, BY LEVERAGING THE I-CORPS DISCOVERIES, THE COMPLETION OF THE PARENT SBIR PHASE I WILL NOT ONLY SUCCESSFULLY REACH THE OBJECTIVE OF PROOF OF CONCEPT, BUT ALSO LAY A SOLID FOUNDATION OF COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN FOR THE POTENTIAL PHASE II AND ITS FOLLOWING FULL COMMERCIALIZATION. DURING THE PARENT PHASE I, THE SPECIFIC AIMS BELLOW WILL BE ACHIEVED: AIM 1: ENABLE TPS-MBAFUS TO PREDICT STRUCTURE DYNAMICS, SUCH AS BLOOD CLOT SURFACE MORPHOLOGY AND CLOT RUPTURE IN THE MB CLOUD-ENHANCED ACOUSTIC FIELD, BY DEVELOPING AND INCORPORATING, IN AN IMPLICIT FLUID- STRUCTURE INTERACTION (IFSI) MODE, CONSTITUTIVE MODELS FOR MIXTURE MATERIALS INVOLVING TISSUES AND BLOOD CLOTS, ALONG WITH A TWO-WAY COUPLED LAGRANGIAN MB MODELING. AIM 2: CONDUCT WELL-CONTROLLED AND HIGH-QUALITY EXPERIMENTS (IN VITRO IN PHASE I AND IN VIVO IN PHASE II) TO VALIDATE CODE PREDICTIONS, SUCH AS MB CAVITATION AND INDUCED FLOW, CLOT MORPHOLOGY, MB CLOUD MOTION, AND CLOT LYSIS RATE UNDER VARIOUS MB, ULTRASOUND, AND CLOT CONDITIONS. AIM 3: AN EFFECTIVE, PRODUCTIVE AND PRACTICAL COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN FOR PHASE II APPLICATION OUR PROPOSED I-CORPS TEAM WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING THREE MEMBERS, WHO ARE ALL COMMITTED TO THE TIME REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAM.

THE PROJECT SITE HAS NUMEROUS RECORDS OF STATE-LISTED SPECIES INCLUDING STATE SPECIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN STAR-NOSED MOLE (CONDYLURA CRISTATA) AND EASTERN BOX TURTLE (TERRAPENE CAROLINA CAROLINA), STATE THREATENED BRANCHED BUR REED (SPARGANIUM ANDROCLADUM) AND AWNED OVAL SEDGE (CAREX STRAMINEA), STATE ENDANGERED SPOTTED TURTLE (CLEMMYS GUTTATA).THE GOAL OF THIS HABITAT PROJECT IS TO ERADICATE NON-NATIVE INVASIVE PLANTS WITHIN THE WETLAND AREAS AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES TO FLOURISH. HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS ON NON-NATIVE INVASIVE SPECIES WILL BE CONDUCTED IN A TARGETED AND SELECTIVE MANNER BY A PROFESSIONAL HABITAT RESTORATION CONTRACTOR ON 8.6 ACRES WHERE HIGH QUALITY NATIVE SPECIES ARE ALSO PRESENT. THE CONTRACTOR MAY OPT FOR A BROADCAST BLANKET TREATMENT APPROACH ON 4.1 ACRES OF INVASIVE TARGET SPECIES MONOCULTURE STANDS AS MAPPED. THE HABITAT RESTORATION ACTIVITIES WILL FAVOR THE DIVERSE REMNANT PLANT COMMUNITY SUPPORTING NUMEROUS WETLAND-DWELLING MIGRATORY BIRD SPECIES INCLUDING A VARIETY OF WRENS, SPARROWS, WARBLERS, AND FLYCATCHER SPECIES IN ADDITION TO POLLINATORS, INSECTS, REPTILES, AND AMPHIBIANS. THE PARTNERS BIOLOGIST WILL COORDINATE WITH THE LANDOWNER TO DEVELOP A RESTORATION WORK PLAN, CONDUCT AN ON-SITE INVESTIGATION PRIOR TO RESTORATION ACTIVITIES, PROVIDE PROJECT OVERSIGHT, AND PERFORM A POST-RESTORATION SITE INSPECTION TO VERIFY COMPLETION OF THE HABITAT RESTORATION WORK. THE PARTNERS FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE 12,299.33 COST-SHARE TOWARDS THE WETLAND HERBACEOUS WEED TREATMENT OF NON-NATIVE INVASIVE SPECIES DURING THE 2024 GROWING SEASON. THE LANDOWNER WILL PROVIDE 7,700.67 FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE TREATMENT IN 2024, AND 2,000.00 FOR THE FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT IN 2025. TOTAL CASH MATCH IS VALUED AT 9,700.67.

THIS PROJECT WILL RESTORE 42.9 ACRES OF REMNANT FORESTED HIGH DUNES AND OAK SAVANNA AT THE STOCKWELL WOODS NATUREPRESERVE PROPERTY LOCATED IN LAPORTE COUNTY, IN. ENCROACHMENT BY AGGRESSIVE NON NATIVE INVASIVE WOODY SPECIES,INCLUDING BUSH HONEYSUCKLE (LONICERA SPP), TREE OF HEAVEN (AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA), AUTUMN OLIVE (ELAEAGNUSUMBELLATA), ORIENTAL BITTERSWEET (CELASTRUS ORBICULATUS), MULTIFLORA ROSE (ROSA MULTIFLORA), JAPANESE BARBERRY(BERBERIS THUNBERGII), WINGED BURNING BUSH (EUONYMUS ALATUS), AND BUCKTHORN (RHAMNUS ATHARTICA) HAVE DEGRADED THEPROPERTY OWNED BY THE SAVE THE DUNES CONSERVATION FUND. IN ADDITION TO THE INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT, TREETHINNING IS NEEDED TO HELP RESTORE AND MAINTAIN THE OAK SAVANNA COMMUNITY AND STRUCTURE THAT HAS BECOMEOVERCROWDED WITH WOODY SPECIES FROM YEARS OF FIRE SUPPRESSION. THE TREE THINNING EFFORTS WILL TARGET A 5 ACREAREA OF OAK SAVANNA.SEVERAL STATE VULNERABLE, RARE, OR THREATENED SPECIES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AT STOCKWELL WOODS INCLUDING JACK PINE(PINUS BANKSIANA), EASTERN WHITE PINE (PINUS STROBUS), COMMON JUNIPER (JUNIPERIS COMMUNIS), SPOTTED WINTERGREEN(CHIMAPHILA MACULATA) AND SAND HEATHER (HUDSONIA TOMENTOSA). A PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT PERFORMED ON THE PROPERTY RECORDED A NATIVE FLORISTIC QUALITY INDEX (FQI) OF 48.6 COMPRISED OF 87 NATIVE SPECIES.THE GOAL OF THIS HABITAT PROJECT IS TO ERADICATE NON NATIVE INVASIVE PLANTS, IMPROVE SAVANNA STRUCTURE, ANDPROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY THE HERBACEOUS LAYER, TO FLOURISH. HERBICIDEAPPLICATIONS ON NON NATIVE WOODY SPECIES VIA CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL TREATMENTS WILL FAVOR THE DIVERSE REMNANTPLANT COMMUNITY SUPPORTING NUMEROUS MIGRATORY BIRD SPECIES INCLUDING A VARIETY OF WOODPECKERS, WARBLERS,FLYCATCHERS, AND VIREOS. APART FROM THE BENEFITS TO MIGRATORY BIRDS, THE CANOPY OPENING, AND INVASIVE SPECIESCONTROL WILL ALSO BENEFIT POLLINATOR SPECIES INCLUDING THE KARNER BLUE AND MONARCH BUTTERFLY BY ENHANCING FLORALRESOURCES. THE ORGANIZATION S LONG TERM GOAL IS FOR THE STOCKWELL WOODS PROPERTY TO BECOME A DEDICATED STATENATURE PRESERVE.THE PARTNERS BIOLOGIST WILL COORDINATE WITH THE LANDOWNER TO DEVELOP A RESTORATION WORK PLAN, CONDUCT AN ON SITEINVESTIGATION PRIOR TO RESTORATION ACTIVITIES, PROVIDE PROJECT OVERSIGHT, AND PERFORM A POST RESTORATION SITEINSPECTION TO VERIFY COMPLETION OF THE HABITAT RESTORATION WORK. THE PARTNERS FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE PROGRAM WILLPROVIDE 10,585.00 COST SHARE TOWARDS THE TREE THINNING DURING THE WINTER OF 2022 2023 AND THE INVASIVE SPECIESCONTROL IN SUMMER FALL OF 2023. THE LANDOWNER WILL PROVIDE 3,948.00 CASH MATCH TOWARDS THE INVASIVE SPECIESCONTROL IN 2024 AND CONTINUE RESTORATION EFFORTS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT TO IMPROVE THE WILDLIFE HABITAT VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
