This invention relates to the forming, shaping, control and use of fluids, fibers and particles such as for example the formulation of a pesticide, shaping it into droplets, and the distribution of the droplets over a field to control pests or the formulation of a soluble chitosan, the shaping of it into fibers or mats or sheets and the use of the fibers, mats and sheets such as for example in biomedical applications.
It is known to shape and spray fluids and suspensions with spraying systems. In some applications, the fluids and suspensions are formed into droplets or aerosols and sprayed by the spraying systems. In other applications, the fluids form fibers, or powders or particles.
One use of such spraying systems is to apply agricultural inputs to agricultural fields.This interagency agreement provides funding support for the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Aging Studies from the National Institute on Aging, Behavioral and Social Research Program (BSR). The long term objectives of this interagency agreement between NIA and the Census Bureau, Population Division are to represent within the Census Bureau the interests of NIA and the aging research community, to coordinate aging-related activities and materials produced by the Census Bureau, to cooperate with international agencies on aging-related work, and to provide reliable and internationally comparable statistics on and analyses of population aging in disparate societies. The interagency cooperation between the Census Bureau and NIA on aging issues has and will continue to enhance aging research by utilizing the research expertise of the Population Division of the Census Bureau
