A 412 KeV Compton spectrometer has been designed at Warwick, and commissioned at the SRC Rutherford Laboratory. The performance of the system was highly satisfactory, but routine operation of the equipment has been hampered by deterioration in the resolution of the detector, and delays have occurred as a result of faults in the computerised data acquisition system. The Compton profile of vanadium has been measured, and is found to be in disagreement with theory, the anisotropies being smaller...

The first phase of the development of a new anticoagulant formulation for extended storage of platelets is largely complete. Compounds which inhibit plasma proteases or platelet activation were screened for irreversible effects on platelets in short-term storage studies. Several combinations of reversible compounds were used as new anticoagulant formulations in long terms storage studies which showed remarkable improvements in platelets viability by in vitro markers for up to 15 days at room...

Understanding how we make intuitive decisions and how we can develop this quality in junior leaders is important for an Army confronted with unfamiliar environments, rapidly changing circumstances, and surrounded by a seemingly ubiquitous media able to draw attention on the outcomes of heretofore innocuous junior leader s decisions. This challenge is particularly salient as we consider operational unit junior company grade officer leader development. Unit level commanders retain the critical...

The effectiveness of immunization with live brucella vaccine from the 19-BA Brucella abortus strain was studied under conditions of a radiation influence. It was considered necessary to determine whether or not the virulent properties of a brucella vaccine strain changed as a result of residence in the organism of irradiated animals. Based on the capacity for spreading in the organism of 20 cultures, checked after 3, 10, 20 and 30 days residence in an irradiated organism, they essentially do...

Representative strains of Neisseria meningitidis were found to be sensitive to holding in Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB) at 20 C, after aerosolization and collection. The viability losses observed during holding were suggestive of aerosolization-induced damage. The strains of N. meningitidis examined were also found to be sensitive to freezing and thawing. Of several cryoprotective agents examined, only dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) at concentrations between 5 and 10% was found to provide protection...

Isolated human PMNs served as a model to determine oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) binding and the effects of oxymyoglobin (oxyMb) or oxyHb on production of both nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O2-) and the resulting cytotoxicity. Physiologically relevant concentrations of NO and H2O2 oxidized, to a similar extent, 2,7-dichlorodihydro-fluorescein (DCFH) loaded into polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Activation of PMNs with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) markedly increased the internalization...

Arthrospira platensis is a rich source of essential amino acids, vitamins and it is used as a feedstock for energy sources. The high cost of the growth medium used in its cultivation is a problem for increasing the production viability. The present study aimed to compare the technical viability and the cost elementsin different growth medium for A. platensis cultivation. For that purpose, it was proposed the use of three different growth medium, named as M1, M2 and M3 in a lab scale. The...

Ensuring the best use of limited conservation resources requires comprehensively assessing the relative importance of multiple threats, some of which occur at local and some at regional spatial scales. Multiple threats are rarely modeled in traditional population viability analyses (PVAs) due to the high data requirements necessary to parameterize age or stage based population models. Count based PVAs have been shown to provide robust results, and count data are readily available from many...

Future human missions to Mars will require effective communications supporting exploration activities and scientific field data collection. Constraints on cost, size, weight and power consumption for all communications equipment make optimization of these systems very important. These information and communication systems connect people and systems together into coherent teams performing the difficult and hazardous tasks inherent in planetary exploration. The communication network supporting...

Planetary exploration using unmanned spacecraft capable of returning geologic or atmospheric samples have been discussed as a means of gathering scientific data for several years. Both NASA and ESA performed initial studies for Sample Return Missions (SRMs) in the late 1990 s, but most suggested a launch before the year 2010. The GENESIS and STARDUST spacecraft are the only current examples of the SRM concept with the Mars SRM expected around 2015. A feasibility study looking at SRM...

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main concepts of viability theory, we provide a general map of the contributions and next discuss them by area of application, including ecosystems and population biology, climate change, forestry and others. We conclude by pointing out issues that deserve more attention and should be part of a research agenda.

The goal of the project is to test experimental therapies for hearing loss in transgenic mouse models. We have identified a list of targets of the Atoh1 transcription factor which is a key to regenerating hair cells. We have shown that another candidate pathway, the Notch signaling pathway, is no longer active in the mature animal, and thus is not a viable therapeutic target for hearing loss. We have also generated the means to activate Atoh1 and a supporting factor, Gfi1, in deafened mice to...

BACKGROUND: Approximately 37 million people throughout the world suffer from blindness with up to 20% having only visual light perception or less. The permanent nature of vision loss is largely due to the inability of retinal ganglion cells to regenerate. Whole eye transplantation (WET) gives the opportunity to provide viable retinal ganglion cells and the entire optical system to recipients with vision loss and irreversible injury to the eye. We have recently established a whole eye transplant...

In 1877, Lord Salisbury, commenting on Great Britain's policy on the Eastern Question, noted that the commonest error in politics is sticking to the carcass of dead policies.

Salisbury went on to note that the cost was enormous because this preoccupation with anachronism...

The growth of two plants, wall cress and short-day red goosefoot, was traced for their entire lifetime in weightlessness. In the beginning both plants grew normally: the seeds sprouted in the normal periods, and the shoots did not differ in any way from the control plants. It is true that certain roots lost their normal orientation and did not go deeper into the nutrient medium, but rather crept over its surface. But then both the wall cress and the goosefoot slowed down their normal rate of...
