The aviation combat element (ACE) provides combat power and operational capability to the MAGTF. Individual aircraft combined and task organized into an ACE, provides a highly capable, responsive, force multiplier to the MAGTF commander. The ACE’s unique capabilities complements other MAGTF elements. The ACE is not a substitute for any MAGTF element. The ACE contributes to mission accomplishmen...

This paper will document the development of the Combat Identification (CombatID) System. The CombatID System was designed to create a platform agnostic payload that could be attached to any fielded Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to assist the Soldier in contingency basing operations. This paper will describe the approach taken to develop the system and provide a detailed description of the syste...

Marine life forms studied in recent years have yielded a variety of organic compounds possessing known or novel pharmacologic and toxicologic activities in mammalian species. Evidence available to date suggests that the sea offers a rich reserve of novel organic molecules which, as such or in structurally modified form, may be useful to mankind either as new drugs to combat disease or as bioche...

Coevolution is a major process operating across biological communities at a range of spatial scales. Rapid ecological change makes it vital that we understand how coevolution proceeds if we are to conserve genetic diversity, combat disease and predict the effects of species invasions.

We discuss the FearNot! application demonstrator, currently being developed for the EU framework V project VICTEC. It details the language structure, content, interactions management and design of the FearNot! Demonstrator, as well as presenting the VICTEC project and its motivations. This paper also focuses on the different sets of Speech Act inspired language action lists developed for the pr...

Effective diagnostic tools are essential in order to combat disease caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. In this study, we compared the commercially available Ridascreen Entamoeba test (R-Biopharm) and the E. histolytica II test (Techlab), and we found that the E. histolytica II test detects E. histolytica infections more accurately.
