Carolyn Albright hopes prospective students will be attracted to the new lab because it offers the unique opportunity to participate in hands-on experiments and lessons. Already outfitted with a metabolic cart that allows classes to conduct VO2 max and other metabolic testing, students can watch real-time data and get a feel for their future career fields. Having this lab also provides opportunities for physical learning for strength and conditioning classes where students learn the science behind and proper techniques for athletic training.

Emergency Management Science and Technology (2023). DOI: 10.48130/EMST-2023-0014 Safety science literature and terminology reveal a limited array of concepts to describe the comprehensive characteristics of system safety and security. The rapid evolution of safety science outpaces the adequacy of these concepts, signaling a pressing need for new, meaningful general concepts. In exploring the origins and development of safety culture, the author proposes the introduction of 'Safety and Security Civilization' (SSC)

Cascaded Variational Quantum Eigensolver (CVQE) algorithm is expected to become powerful tool to investigate physical properties in electronic systems. The CVQE algorithm uses a quantum computer to probe the needed probability mass functions and a classical computer to perform the remaining calculations, including the energy minimization. For decades, NRL has been conducting fundamental research in quantum science, which has the potential to yield disruptive Defense technologies.
