  THE RICE ALLIANCE FOR TECHNOLOGY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ("RICE ALLIANCE") PROPOSES TO COLLABORATE WITH NASA TO ESTABLISH FOUR PRIZES FOR THE 2011 RICE BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION ("COMPETITION"). THE COMPETITION WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 14-16, 2011. THE RICE ALLIANCE PROPOSES TO OFFER, FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR, THE NASA EARTH/SPACE LIFE SCIENCES INNOVATION PRIZE ("LIFE SCIENCE AWARD"), TWO NASA EARTH/SPACE ENGINEERING INNOVATION AWARDS ("ENGINEERING AWARD"), AND FOR THE SECOND YEAR, THE NASA "GAME CHANGER" COMMERCIAL SPACE INNOVATION PRIZE. THE LIFE SCIENCE AWARD WILL BE GRANTED TO THE TEAM/COMPANY AT THE RICE BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION THAT PRESENTS THE BEST BUSINESS PLAN WITH LIFE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY WHICH HAS APPLICATION TO BOTH THE NASA SPACE PROGRAM AND TO EARTH-BASED ACTIVITIES. THE LIFE SCIENCE AWARD WILL BE FOR $20,000. THE ENGINEERING AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED TO TWO TEAMS WITH THE BEST BUSINESS PLANS IN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY WHICH HAS APPLICATIONS TO BOTH THE NASA SPACE PROGRAM AND TO EARTH-BASED ACTIVITIES. THE ENGINEERING AWARD WILL BE PRESENTED TO TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS AND EACH FOR $20,000. THE $50,000 NASA "GAME CHANGER" COMMERCIAL SPACE INNOVATION PRIZE WILL RECOGNIZE THE TEAMLBUSINESS PLAN WITH THE BEST IDEA IN COMMERCIAL SPACE INNOVATION. ALL FOUR AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE TEAMS DURING THE AWARDS BANQUET ON SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 2011.

  THIS PROPOSAL AIMS AT FULLY EXPLOITING THE LARGE BODY OF X-RAY AND MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONAL DATA ON TEV GAMMA-RAY BRIGHT BLAZARS FOR A DETAILED COMPARISON WITH STATE-OF-THE ART BLAZAR RADIATION TRANSFER SIMULATIONS. THE AIM OF THIS INVESTIGATION IS TO DEVELOP DIAGNOSTICS ON CRITICAL JET PARAMETERS AND SHOCK PHYSICS, SUCH AS THE MAGNETIC FIELD, THE KINETIC ENERGY CONTENT IN THE JETS, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHOCK ACCELERATION MECHANISMS, AND THE DETAILED INFLUENCE ON GEOMETRY ON THE OBSERVED SPECTRAL VARIABILITY FEATURES. OUR PROJECT WILL COMPRISES A SYSTEMATIC, UNIFORM RE-ANALYSIS OF THE RELEVANT (IN PARTICULAR, X-RAY) DATA SETS. WE WILL EXTRACT TIME-DEPENDENT SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS, LIGHT CURVES, AND INTRA-BAND AS WELL AS INTER-BAND TIME LAGS FROM THE AVAILABLE DATA. THE MODELING TASKS WILL START WITH A QUICK SWEEP THROUGH PARAMETER SPACE USING A SEMI-ANALYTICAL INTERNAL-SHOCK MODEL. THIS WILL HELP TO NARROW DOWN PARAMETERS SUCH AS THE LORENTZ FACTORS OF INTERACTING EMISSION REGIONS, THE OVERALL ENERGY REQUIREMENTS, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ELECTRON DISTRIBUTIONS ACCELERATED AT INTERNALSHOCKS, AND THE MAGNETIC FIELD. THE PARAMETERS OF THIS SEMI-ANALYTICAL INTERNAL-SHOCK MODEL THAT ALLOW FOR A REPRESENTATION OF TIME-DEPENDENT SEDS, LIGHT CURVES AND INTER-BAND TIME LAGS, WILL FORM THE STARTING POINT FOR OUR DETAILED MODELING USING OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART TIME-DEPENDENT MULTI-ZONE MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION CODE. USING THAT CODE, WE WILL EXPLORE IN MORE DETAIL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PARTICLE ACCELERATION IN ACTIVE REGIONS AND THE INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS GEOMETRIES ON THE OBSERVABLE FEATURES. BY CAPITALIZING ON ARCHIVAL DATA OF SEVERAL NASA SPACE ASTROPHYSICS MISSIONS OUR PROPOSAL IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE NASA ADAP RESEARCH OBJECTIVE, "THE ANALYSIS IO NASA SPACE ASTROPHYSICS DATA THAT ARE ARCHIVED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN AT THE TIME OF SUBMISSION", AS STATED IN THE NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT.
