In the UK, housing has been identified as a major sector for contributing to the 80% reduction in carbon emissions over the 1990 baseline by 2050, required by the Climate Change Act 2008. However, pre-1919 housing stock is the least energy efficient and consequently poses challenges to meeting this target. Using a mixed methods approach, the current study demonstrates that, in actuality, there is a significant potential for reducing emissions among this sub-sector of housing, and that the major...

This volume elaborates on the EU report A Human Security Doctrine for Europe, adding an engaging discussion of international legal consequences and operational demands in the European Union’s quest for domestic security. Introducing the concept of “Human Security from Below,” the editors highlight how people in wartorn countries have no choice but to create their own security arrangements. But such structures, surprisingly, are not unique to war zones, the contributors reveal—human...

We use Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the uncertainty in predictions of total O3 trends between 1979 and 1995 made by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) two-dimensional (2D) model of stratospheric photochemistry and dynamics. The uncertainty is caused by gas-phase chemical reaction rates, photolysis coefficients, and heterogeneous reaction parameters which are model inputs. The uncertainty represents a lower bound to the total model uncertainty assuming the input parameter uncertainties...

Evidence has been presented that the subcutaneous vaccination of dogs with viable Coccidioides immitis arthrospores offers good protection against subsequent respiratory challenge with a large dose of live arthrospores. The administration of oral presolubilized Amphotericin B (Fungizone) following vaccination eliminated the undersirable side effects of the vaccine but did not interfere with the development of immunity. No physiologic or histologic evidence of renal damage attributable to...

A new method (utilizing glass plates covered with a thin layer of fat) was employed in the study of lipoid degradation (especially that of beef tallow) by pathogenic leptospirae. The tested fats were attacked most vigorously by virulent leptospirae belonging to serotypes L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. canicola and L. pomona, to a lesser extent by types grippotyphosa and hebdomadis. No demonstrable lipoid cleavage was evidenced by virulent strains hyos, sejroe and saxkoebing, or by avirulent strains...

The human neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) protein contains a RasGAP domain and is believed to restrain cell proliferation by negatively regulating Ras-mediated signalling. We have characterized a Drosophila NF1 homologue encoding a protein that is 60% identical to the human NF1 protein over its entire length and generated loss-of-function mutations. Flies lacking NF1 are viable and Ras1-mediated signalling downstream of the sevenless and torso receptor tyrosine kinases is normal, indicating that...

The possibility was established for the systematic transfer of hemagglutinating capability, inhibitor- and thermo-resistance, and infectious and immunogenic activity during hybridization with the help of RNA containing preparations, obtained from the viruses of influenza A and A2. In a number of cases the transfer of pathogenicity for mice was observed, and more rarely - the transfer of neurotropic virulence.

Blood loss testing in decreased organ perfusion and subsequent ischemic injury of cardiac and skeletal muscle presents a significant problem for the soldier in combat. Recent findings indicate that different forms of noxious stress including exposure to increased temperature, noxious chemical agents, and schemia lead to increased expression of heat shock proteins (hsp) which have a protective effect against injury induced by noxious stimuli. We wanted to determine in this proposal if a muscle...

A review of the DoD policy on physical fitness and weight control programs establishes a focus for a review and assessment of the Air Force weight and Fitness Programs. The DoD Directive 1308.1 provides straightforward but not totally unambiguous guidance. In implementing the DoD directive, the Air Force elected to shift emphasis from physical fitness to weight control and over the last 20 years transitioned from a physical fitness program to evaluation only. By combining weight control and...

The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System employed by the Army is seen as deficient in that it does not provide systematic feedback to decision makers. Feedback is essential if the Army leadership is to evaluate and improve the quality of their decisions. To that end the Office of the Comptroller of the Army has developed a concept called the Output-Oriented Resource Management System (OORMS) to correct that deficiency. The purpose of this paper is to examine OORMS as a concept...

Alterations in the splicing patterns of key regulatory genes are likely to play an important role in oncogenesis. The ASF/SF2 protein is one of a family of SR splicing factors that have been shown to regulate splice site choice in vitro. We have mapped the ASF/SF2 gene to 17q21.3-q22 in humans, and close to the Ovum mutant locus on chromosome 11 in mice. Our current objective is to examine the role of the ASF/SF2 gene in development and oncogenesis by observing the effects of disrupting the...

It is concluded that the addition of ferrous sulfate to solid nutrient medium exerts a retarding influence on the process of the lowering of virulence of the plague microbe. The mechanism of this phenomenon still remains unclear. It is postulated that an active role is played by the redox ferments of the hemin series, the most important component of which is iron.

Irradiation of aerosols of either Escherichia coli or Serratia marcescens with simulated solar (xenon) radiation caused a significant decrease in viability. When sodium fluorescein was employed to determine the physical loss of organisms from the aerosol, an additional adverse effect upon survival was noted. The decay curves indicated that at least two mechanisms of inactivation were operative, one due to aerosolization, the other to irradiation. After collection from aerosols, both species of...
