TI Technology and tank maintenance: An AI-based diagnostic system for the
   Abrams tank
SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB The U.S. Army holds title to one of the most envied weapon systems developed-the Abrams main battle tank (MBT). Militarily, this weapon represents the epitome of lethality and survivability on today's modern battlefield To combat difficulties associated with maintaining this sophisticated weapon, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School (OC&S) combined technologies from artificial intelligence with Army tank maintenance doctrine to develop an expert diagnostic system to assist Abrams' mechanics. The system, known as turbine engine diagnostics (TED), targets the mechanic's ability to effectively and efficiently diagnose and repair the Abram's engine and transmission The OC&S estimates that TED will save over $8 million annually by enhancing the Abrams mechanic's troubleshooting capabilities. Limited fielding of TED began in July 1994 to 60 National Guard units in 30 stares. Active units of the U.S. Army will receive TED in fiscal year 1996. This paper examines the relevant background, development issues, system overview test results, and future efforts surrounding the TED project.

TI An adaptive hierarchical fuzzy model
SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB Fuzzy models have been designed to represent approximate or imprecise relationships in complex systems and have been successfully employed in control systems, database systems and decision analysis. A hierarchical architecture for fuzzy modeling and inference has been developed to allow adaptation based on system performance feedback. A general adaptive algorithm is presented and its performance examined for three types of adaptive behavior: continued learning, gradual change and drastic change. In continued learning, the underlying system does not change and the adaptive algorithm utilizes the real-rime data and associated feedback to improve the accuracy of the existing model. Gradual and drastic change represent fundamental alterations to the system being modeled In each of the three types of behavior; the adaptive algorithm has been shown to be able to reconfigure the rule bases to either improve the original approximation or adapt to the new system.

TI Artificial neural networks as meta-models of combat processes:
   Applications to line-of-sight computations
SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB Modeling high resolution combat is a computationally intensive activity that often requires compromise in the completeness or fidelity of the model to accommodate existing computer technology. This trade-off will always be necessary, but implicit modeling of some processes can reduce the computational load at run time so CPU cycles may be devoted to other areas of the model. Unfortunately some costly processes, such as intervisibility calculations, are even more expensive (in terms of storage) to model implicitly. This paper examines the potential of artificial neural networks to serve as efficient meta-models for line-of-sight determination.

AB Army maintenance management practices have changed little within the last 50 years. Despite continual attempts to improve upon its doctrine and efficiency; prevailing Army maintenance processes are still reactive rather than proactive. Said another way, the Army's maintenance infrastructure remains in stasis before it cart diagnose the symptoms of any system or component failure. This is true regardless of whether a mechanic is troubleshooting a suspected failure or determining the condition status of a system prior to operation. In either case, the current diagnostic paradigm is essentially a de facto process. It does not allow for real-time assessment of a system's operating stare; nor is it capable of predicting failures. The current maintenance system is designed to verify current operational states-whether they are within or out of tolerance with design parameters. It is this legacy which results in the current ''just-in-case'' focus of supply and maintenance, rather than the ''just-in-time'' support envisioned for Force XXI.

SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB In recent years, the United States Army has undertaken the development of a new type of computerized training facility called the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT). This system will enable future armored and mechanized units at battalion and below to train in virtual environments on a digitized battlefield The major tasks for planning a days' training include the following. First, personnel from the unit undergoing training select training scenarios to be conducted during each training day. Next, the training scenarios are scheduled throughout the planning horizon where multiple scenarios may be scheduled simultaneously. Finally, the type and quantity of training resources for conducting each training scenario are identified and scheduled. Resource quantities vary by training scenario type and may vary within a scenario type as well. CCTT training resources include simulator modules, computer workstations, workstation operators (people) and computer-generated, semi-automated forces (SAF). This paper discusses the development of a hybrid expert system prototype for scheduling training in the new CCTT facilities. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

AB With the increasing pressures imposed by budget constraints many organizations, governmental and private alike, are trying to build distributed architectures that connect existing systems and use their results. In this paper we describe the development of a replanning system that uses the ideas of agency theory in a distributed environment. We assume that the initial plan is generated by an existing planner The replanner will react to plan changes that are required by user input, discovery of new goals, parameter changes or other causes. The architecture developed in this paper is a flexible, modular; decentralized one that can meet the changing needs of a distributed planning system. Transportation and redistribution problems associated with the ship cargo configurations exemplify the replanning concepts. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

TI Crewman's associate (CA) cognitive decision aiding (CDA) applications

SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB The application of artificial intelligence (AI) decision making for the U.S. Army's future main battle tank (FMBT) is currently under investigation by the TACOM crewman's associate (CA) program. McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems is supporting this research by adapting rotorcraft pilot's associate (RPA) program's techniques under study for helicopters to ground combat weapons systems. This research centers on an armored unit mission scenario which contains several key crew decision points where cognitive decision aiding (CDA) is applied The study identifies the mission segment functions where the CDA can augment the crew's decision making process (ie. an en route mission change, actions-on-contact with the enemy, and a hasty attack). The CA program has defined unique crew aiding behaviors (called CABs) which partition the tasks between the FMBT crew and the CDA processors on-board so as to best utilize the advantages of the human crewmember and the computer planner-assessor Crew selectable levels of the associate functioning are possible as illustrated by the implementation of the CABs in various CA advanced technology demonstrations (e.g. combined arms command and control-CAC2, hit avoidance, target acquisition mobility, and crewstation design). The RPA task network logic structure is used to trigger the scenario event file and control the flow of the task partitioning, timing, and interactions. Areas of CDA commonality between the rotorcraft pilot's and crewman's associates are identified CDA applications for the Army's combined arms operations exploit ''interoperability'' in both situational awareness and information transfer between ground maneuver and aviation units. Potential benefits of these CDA applications for the FMBT crew and the armor platoon or higher echelon units are also cited.

SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB Terrain analysis in support of planned military training or combat operations is a task which requires considerable training, skill and experience. Military planners must synthesize knowledge of both their own and their expected adversary's tactics, weapons systems and probable courses of action with descriptions of the physical battlefield area to identify key terrain, those features in the environment which have the greatest potential to influence the outcome of military operations.
   Terrain analysis is the cornerstone activity during the ''intelligence preparation of the battlefield'', an analytic process designed to reduce uncertainty identify likely enemy courses of action, and help select the most favorable friendly course of action Automated tools to assist in this process are now being constructed to support a variety of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs. The tools rely on the combination of several concepts and techniques that have been developed within the artificial intelligence field. These include knowledge representation schemes, spatial reasoning techniques, autonomous agent planning methods, rule-based paradigms, and heuristic search strategies. While no single technique in isolation can fully solve the broad problems of military operations planning, their combination provides a synergy that results in a useful end product.

TI Intelligent simulation of the battlefield (ISB)
SO EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
AB This paper discusses the development of a meta-expert system, the Intelligent Simulation of the Battlefield (ISB) for assisting military commanders with managing battlefield information and decision making. The three main components of the ISB are the Standard Army Training System-Training Exercise Development System (SATS-TREDS), the Janus combat simulation model and the Command Support System (ComSS).
   Integrating simulation with artificial intelligence, the three main components of the ISB merge to enhance the command and control process. ISB creates an environment to measure the effectiveness of battle commanders to focus and operate in a simulated, yet realistic dynamic, information-driven, knowledge-assisted environment. The front-end training preparation component of the ISB structures the exercise based on mission requirements and tasks. Once the training scenario is specified through SATS-TREDS, the ISB utilizes a command interface designed to build information templates for displaying information based on a commander's profile and the particular mission. The ISB system's network is configured to accommodate the flow of information generated by the Janus simulation program. With assistance by ISRA intelligent agents and associates, the information is then pushed to the ComSS decision support system. Due to the enormous flow of information, only certain, preselected data are queried and reported during the battle. Through the SATS-TREDS program the remainder of the information is stored for later reference and review for feedback on future training needs.
   The ISB system promises to be a beneficial tool for classroom, training and operational environments as it conforms to the demanding requirements of realistic, dynamic and flexible simulation users.

We begin by providing the motivation behind the development of the Smart Shock Absorber Test Stand (SSATS). We then describe the theory required to evaluate the condition of shock absorbers. This theoretical discussion leads to a description of the type of data that are acquired during a shock absorber test and how it can be analyzed to determine the condition of a shock absorber: The next section describes how the data are transformed and processed in order to develop a neural network classification scheme. The training and testing process of a fully connected feedforward backpropagation neural network is then described. Finally we explain the integration of the neural network into the SSATS system and the results of utilizing the system to test Bradley Armored Vehicle shock absorbers.

These composite sensors have been used to monitor strain induced in a glass/epoxy laminate produced by cyclic loading. PTCa/P(VDF-TrFE) was embedded in a laminate structure to detect acoustic emission (AE) signals generated on the surface of the laminate by a conventional lead-break technique. The results show that the composite sensor is able to detect AE signals over a wide bandwidth.

AB Future uses of modem ferroelectrics include thin-film resonant microstructures for timing, sensing, and actuation. The frequency range of interest extends from nearly DC through the UHF band. At high frequencies especially, it is difficult to obtain precise material parameters from broadband electrical measurements. We have developed highly accurate lumped equivalent networks for these frequencies, for the two canonical cases of thickness- and lateral-field excitation. Measurements on these circuits permit extraction of the complex dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic parameters of the material. In this paper we discuss both traditional and modern electrical network descriptions of piezoelectric resonators; we also treat how they are modified by the conditions of excitation and inclusion of loss mechanisms. The more general networks are then specialized to yield lumped circuit versions tailored to the particular attributes of ferroelectrics: high coupling and moderate loss. A numerical example is worked by means of illustration.

AB The U. S. Army Missile Command, Research, Development and Engineering Center has been conducting research and development activities on solid-state inertial components for next generation weapon systems for the past decade. The fiber optic gyroscope (FOG), which is on an upward trend as evidenced by the increase in patents and users, warrants a closer examination to address the technology limitations associated with ultraminiature FOG components that are designed to operate in adverse environments. Several FOG testbeds are constructed for the characterization and evaluation of the optical components operating under a series of test conditions. Analytical models are developed to aid in explaining the experimental results. The data are used in assessing the size limitations for the optical components and design approaches that tend to degrade gyroscope performance. Some remarks are made on the effects of bending-induced birefringence in single mode (SM) fiber on the performance of depolarized FOGs. It is found that reducing the inner diameter of the sensor coil below one inch has a detrimental effect on the gyroscope performance. Furthermore, the inherent fiber crossovers in the conventional precision wound coils tend to degrade the performance of the depolarized gyroscope. The findings of out investigation will aid FOG designers in optimizing FOG optical components for applications requiring small or restricted volume for various performance regimes.

AB In a series of studies, attitudes of military and civilian consumers toward military and other institutional foods, e.g. foods served in school cafeterias, hospitals, military dining halls, on airlines, etc., were examined. The goals of this research were to (1) quantify the ex:tent and nature of these attitudes in terms of expected acceptability and expected quality of the food; (2) determine whether these attitudes can be classified as stereotypical; (3) assess the relative importance of presumed causes of poor quality and acceptability in institutional food, e.g. skills of food preparers, ingredient quality, consumption environment, etc.; (4) identify the specific aspects of perceived food quality, e.g. flavor, texture, nutritive value, etc., that most differentiate commercial from military institutional food; (5) quantify the relationship between expectations of acceptability and actual acceptability ratings of military institutional food; and (6) detail the empirical effect of institutional vs. brand name food labeling on hedonic acceptability ratings. The results of these studies showed broad and significant effects of institutional food stereotypes on food acceptance and food quality ratings. The results were interpreted within the context of a psychological model of the role of consumer expectations on food acceptability. The implications of the data for institutional and brand name food marketing are discussed.

AB This paper identifies two categories of students who pose a significant reaching challenge in a college freshman programming class, and then discusses one effective way to improve their performance.
   The most challenging students are those who do not readily adopt a systematic approach to software development. These students tend to fall into two categories:
   a) The High School ''Hackers''
   b) The Haphazard ''Never-Evers
   High School Hackers do not use (and might not acknowledge the value of) a systematic approach to software development. Haphazard Never-Evers have trouble adhering to the systematic approach they are trying to learn.
   Providing these students with a one-page summary which includes the steps of a structured software development methodology-enhanced by detailed instructions for writing the source code-is a very effective way to help them learn and adhere to the systematic approach so critical to their success.

AB At the U.S. Military Academy, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was formed in 1989. Since that time, efforts have been underway to tap the synergism that can be derived from having the complementary disciplines under one directorship. HO scale model trains have become a focal point for a series of three senior design projects over a three year period. The first project was completed by a computer engineering major who was tasked to design and build a model train turntable. The turntable was PC controlled, used optical interrupts for sensing, and required C language text programming. The second project was completed by a team of three electrical engineering majors, two computer science majors, and one engineering management major. Their task was to design and build a rotating crane system that would automatically place the correct load on a designated train car according to selections made via a PC windows interface. The third project incorporated lessons learned from the first Two. Five electrical engineering majors, two computer science majors, and two mechanical engineering majors were required to design and build a more complex gantry crane system that performed the same functions as the rotating crane. This series of projects serves as a basis for examining a variety of issues associated with multidisciplinary design projects. Considerations include ream leadership, evaluation and grading of students from other academic departments, resolution of scheduling conflicts, peer ratings within an interdisciplinary group, methods for trading students between disciplines, and enhanced learning opportunities. Lessons learned from these projects will prove invaluable to graduating engineers and the participating academic departments.

AB Student computer labs are constantly balancing the need to run the most current hardware and software configurations with the added time and expense of setup and maintenance. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (D/EECS) administrators chose Windows NT Workstation v3.51 as a means to optimize the trade offs between the desire to use cutting edge technology and over obligated personnel resources. This paper describes the perceptions the Department had before installing NT Workstation, the method we used to convert the labs from Windows for Workgroups to NT, and the benefits we have seen and expect to see from the new lab configuration.

AB This paper addresses research using the World Wide Web (WWW) as a platform for the delivery of an interactive hypermedia tutorial and simulation package. Developed for active, global learners, the WWW Virtual Computer allows students to learn about and build a virtual computer. As a tutorial, the WWW Virtual Computer provides hypertext and digital movies on each of the components of a computer system. As a simulation, students can configure seventeen different components of the computer. After configuration, the student can run three benchmarks against the system to measure its performance. Each of the benchmarks provides an animation of which components of the computer are being heavily utilized as well as a description of which component of the computer system is the bottleneck. The student can then redesign the system to address performance bottlenecks and improve performance within student-selected constraints.
   As part of over 1.5 gigabytes of hypermedia course material developed to support learning in CS383[1-3], Computer Systems, the WWW Virtual Computer is specifically designed to address the educational needs of active and global learners using Felder''s Learning Model[4-6]. Active learners benefit from the system's ability to actively involve the student in making choices and seeing the results of those choices. Global learners benefit from the ability to clearly see the interdependencies between computer components and how each component contributes to the efficient operation of the entire system. As a component of the CS383 hypermedia courseware, the WWW Virtual Computer supplements the other electronic resources available and addresses the educational needs of students.

AB Undergraduate courses in communications traditionally focus on classical communications theory with little attention given to the actual implementation aspects of analog or digital systems. For the most part, the hardware implementation is predisposed to the electronics curriculum. This paper details a unique new effort in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the United States Military Academy to combine the theoretical aspects of communications systems design with integrated circuit implementation. Through a new project design approach, cadets make the theory of communications systems come to real life using a design, build, test process. It is shown that this is a very effective method to overcome the obstacles in making the transition from theory to practice.

AB PSA experiments using a two-bed, laboratory-scale (100 Standard Liters per Minute [SLPM]) system equipped with in-bed temperature and vapor-phase concentration probes were performed using trichlorofluoromethane (R-ll) as the feed contaminant and air as the carrier. In-bed, vapor-phase concentrations at each axial position were measured and correlated to the magnitude of the temperature swings during a cycle. PSA experiments were then conducted using a full-scale (5,660 SLPM) system with difluorochloromethane (R-22) and 13X molecular sieve. Fourteen temperature probes were placed within a bed at different radial and axial positions. Using the temperature-concentration correlation, it was possible to construct a visual representation of the dispersion characteristics of the larger beds.

AB In certain applications, PSA systems filter contaminants only under transient conditions. This paper presents both experimental and modeling work for the transient, non-isothermal behavior of PSA for air purification. The solutes considered include the refrigerant vapors R-22, R-11 and water vapor and adsorbents activated carbon and 13X molecular sieve. Simultaneous concentration samples at four in-bed locations, product and purge are recorded. In-bed temperature profiles are reported for complete cycles. The in-bed profiles are shown to provide a detailed representation of the progress of the concentration wave for the transient behavior. The non-isothermal effects are examined for several conditions including inert packing, non-adsorbing carrier and a varying purge to feed ratios. Chemical contaminant filtration is presented for strongly and weakly adsorbed vapors. Good agreement is achieved between the model simulation and the measured PSA data.

AB The effects of high Rayleigh number convection for temperature-dependent viscosity at infinite Prandtl number are studied with three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (using a fully spectral method) in a wide box with dimensions 5 x 5 x 1. The form of the temperature-dependent viscosity decreases exponentially with the temperature. Solutions for an volumetrically averaged Rayleigh numbers up to 6.25 x 10(6) have been obtained for a viscosity contrast of 25. Both models with and without viscous dissipation and adiabatic hearings have been considered. There is a distinct difference in the plume dynamics between models with a dissipation number D = 0 and D = 0.3. At zero dissipation number the hot plumes extend up to the top, while plumes at D = 0.3 are cooled due to adiabatic expansion and do not extend throughout the entire layer. The cold descending hows occur in sheets and they form longer wavelength networks and can reach the bottom, regardless of the value of D. A time-varying depth-dependent mean horizontal Bow is produced from the correlation between the laterally varying viscosity field and the velocity gradients. At high Rayleigh number there is also a change in the surface toroidal velocity field to a coherent network of river-like structures and compact vortices. Viscous dissipation is found to increase with the Rayleigh number and is particularly strong in regions of downwelling Bows. In the context of mantle convection, these localized heat sources are observed to be strong with local magnitudes in some places exceeding what Earth-like radioactive heating would be by more than an order of magnitude.

AB The Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, United States Military Academy in conjunction with the United States Air Force Academy conducts a field course in physical geology each summer in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The course is designed to provide cadets with a knowledge and appreciation of the science of geology by presenting concepts in a classroom setting supplemented with extensive field exercises. In an effort to keep the material presented in the course current with techniques being used in the discipline an exercise in geologic mapping focusing on Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing technologies was incorporated into the course. It was felt that this type of exercise would not only expose the cadets to advanced mapping technologies but would also give them a better appreciation of the processes involved, both field and laboratory, in the production of geologic maps. Discussions with cadets following completion of the course indicated that they felt that exercise enhanced their learning experience by demonstrating the importance of combining field expertise with advanced technologies in the production of geologic maps.

AB 1 Since the literature suggested a portion of the overall toxicity of cyanide (CN) may be affected by nitric oxide, we investigated a long acting NO releasing complex (diethylamine/nitric oxide (DEA/NO)) which may exhibit vasodilatory as well as other nitric oxide effects to determine its ability to modify CN toxicity. Sodium nitrite, a vasodilator commonly used to treat cyanide toxicity thought to act by methemoglobin (MHb) formation, can be rapidly transformed to nitric oxide (NO).
   2 Mice (n=10 per dose) were administered one of five doses of sodium cyanide (NaCN) intraperitoneally (4.28,5.08,6.03,7.17 and 8.52 mg kg(-1)). DEA/NO was given intravenously (20 mg kg(-1)) 2 min prior to NaCN. As a control, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), which inhibits NO synthesis, was administered intravenously (70 mg kg(-1)) to mice, 3 min prior to DEA/NO.
   3 Before CN toxicity studies, we determined whether DEA/NO was producing MHb by collecting tail vein blood from mice and measuring MHb levels. For example, 4 min after DEA/NO administration (5,10, and 20 mg kg(-1)), MHb levels were 1.27+/-0.28%, 2.60+/-0.26% and 6.53+/-0.54% respectively. O-2 capacity was also decreased in a dose related manner. Carboxyhemoglobin or percent O-2 saturation, on the other hand, was not significantly inhibited. The LD(50) increased from 5.75+/-0.026 (CN alone) to 7.66+/-0.021 mg kg(-1) (CN+DEA/NO) resulting in a protective ratio of 1.73.
   4 Results suggest the following: (1) L-NMMA, which inhibits the synthesis of endogenous NO, appears to exacerbate the DEA/NO (or exogenous NO) response; (2) DEA/NO appears to reduce the toxicity of CN which suggests that a portion of CN toxicity may be affected by a NO component; and (3) low DEA/NO doses map act via a direct effect while higher doses (40 mg kg(-1)) may allow for formation of a concentration of MHb which can bind CN to form cyanomethemoglobin and reduce the toxicity of CN.

AB The commander (and his staff) will be challenged with a vastly different battlefield during the early part of the 21st Century. New sensor suites, improved processing methods and more powerful computing will bring the capability of fully visualizing the battlefield in real time to the brigade commander and below. The problems that these capabilities introduce change the commander's plight from not having the required information to being overwhelmed with data that actually impedes planning and execution effectiveness. The purpose of the AdvCoVRT research program is to create a design and experimentation environment to evaluate new visualization concepts using soldier involvement from creation of the initial concepts to the evolvement of these concepts during realistic operational exercises. The AdvCoVRT paradigm is a dual filter evaluation methodology that combines the insights of the end user with experimental analysis to converge on visualization concepts that are both operationally and empirically based.
   Visualization involves both situation awareness which requires a thorough understanding of the physical environment and process visualization which implies a teleological understanding of the consequences of battle trends on possible outcomes. AdvCoVRT will focus on design concepts that integrate physical visualization displays with knowledge representation techniques to indicate future battle trends. New display technologies, 3-D representations, spatial reasoning, dynamic terrain fly-through projections, predicative algorithms, configural displays that map multiple battle indicators into 2-D and 3-D spaces, cognitive rule-based systems for knowledge representations are a sampling of the advanced methods that constitute the raw material for AdvoCoVRT concepts.

AB Plastics produced from soy protein and cornstarch were determined to be biodegradable in marine and soil environments. Dialdehyde starch and zein plastics were less readily biodegradable in soil. The plastics were manufactured by extrusion and injection-molding, and by compression-molding the protein/starch mixtures into standard tensile articles. Respirometric studies, measuring CO2 evolution, showed the ground molded protein/starch plastics to have faster biodegradation rates than that of the individual raw materials. This was attributed to the denatured protein and gelatinized starch of the molded specimens, which were more susceptible to microbial biodegradation.

AB The emergence of biodegradable plastics has necessitated the development of standard methods to determine biodegradation rates in various environments. Standardized accelerated marine and soil laboratory biodegradation test systems were developed in which comparative polymer biodegradation rates could be determined by quantifying and plotting the weight loss/surface area of each sample over time and determining the maximum slopes of the curves generated. The results indicate that, in general and depending on the environment, biodegradation rates for unblended polymers were: polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate > cellophane > chitosan > polycaprolactone. Results from blends are more difficult to interpret since different biodegradation rates of the component polymers and leaching of plasticizers and additives can impact the data.

AB Water uptake and glass transition behavior in a series of hydrophilic polyurethane elastomers with a soft segment of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEG) alone or in a mixture with poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO) were studied. In a set of samples with various PEO/PTMO ratios at fixed hard-segment content, the saturation water uptake was almost constant at 2.5 mol of water per mol of ethylene oxide. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed two separate glass transition temperatures (T-g) in the dry, mixed-soft-segment samples (-50 degrees C for PEO and -80 degrees C for PTMO) but only a single T-g at about -80 degrees C in the wet samples. The Delta C-p values for the wet samples were much higher than those for the dry samples. Measurements of the sample with pure PEO from the set just described Indicated an essentially linear dependence of both T-g and Delta C-p on water content.

AB In this paper we discuss some aspects of our development of a natural language (NL) processing system to be used in a virtual reality (VR) environment. Our group is pursuing two lines of work: the Natural Language and Virtual Reality (NLVR) project and the natural language research program. The latter addresses basic research problems in NL processing and the former is an implementation project. The two are, in many ways, parallel and overlapping. The research generates hypotheses that we want to test and the NLVR testbed provides new problems for research.

ID ENERGY-TRANSFER; YAG; OPERATION
AB Energy transfer dynamics pertinent to Ho:Tm lasers are modeled in two steps: A calculation of the parameters controlling the energy transfer process and a calculation of the population densities of all manifolds influencing the laser process, Energy transfer parameters are modeled with the classical dipole-dipole approximation, but several important changes are implemented to better describe laser materials such as Ho:Tm laser materials, This approach was used to calculate energy transfer parameters using measured energy levels coupled with quantum mechanical calculations although spectroscopically measured parameters could be used in principle, Given the energy transfer parameters, a rate equation approach is used with the eight manifolds required for an accurate description of the Ho:Tm laser, Population densities of all eight manifolds can be predicted as a function of time whether or not lasing occurs. Results of the modeling process are compared with experimental results for both Ho:Tm:YAG and Ho:Tm:YLF with different concentrations and a variety of different mirror reflectivities and different pump pulse lengths in a companion paper.

ID WAVE BACKSCATTER; SNOW SPECIMENS; DRY SNOW; RADAR
AB This paper presents 35, 95, and 225 GHz polarimetric radar backscatter data from snowcover. It compares measured backscatter data with detailed in situ measurements of the snowcover including microstructural anisotropies within the snowpack, Observations of backscatter were made during melt-freeze cycles, and measurable differences in the normalized radar cross section between older metamorphic snow and fresh low-density snow were observed, In addition, these data show that the average phase difference between the copolarized terms of the scattering matrix, S-vv and S-hh, is nonzero for certain snow types. This phase difference was found to be related to snowpack features including anisotropy, wetness, density, and particle size, A simple backscatter model based on measured particle size and anisotropy is found to predict the Mueller matrix for dry snowcover with reasonable accuracy.

The switching characteristics of the SiC thyristor were investigated over a temperature range from 23 degrees C to 400 degrees C, with a switched current density of 4900 A/cm(2) being observed under pulse bias condition. The thyristor has shown a dV/dt of 400 V/ms. Both the turn-on time and turn-off time increase significantly at 400 degrees C. The thyristor forward breakover voltage decreases by only 5% when the operating temperature is increased from 23 degrees C to 400 degrees C.

AB Shellfish occasionally present a health risk to consumers due to bio-accumulation of natural marine toxins. One such class of toxin is the brevetoxins (PbTx) which are responsible for neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. Monitoring of commercial produce presently involves the evaluation of toxicity by intraperitoneal injection of a crude lipid extract-of shellfish into mice. We have compared a newly developed ELISA assay for brevetoxins, with a detection limit of 0.25 mg brevetoxin-2 (PbTx-2) per kg shellfish flesh (2.5 ng/mL in the assay), a neuroblastoma-based sodium channel enhancement assay (detection limit 15 ng/mL), and the standard mouse bioassay for evaluation of shellfish samples collected during recent New Zealand algal blooms. Discrepancies among the assays were observed due to the presence of a 'new' lipid soluble, sodium channel active biotoxin.

AB Injection of silicone gel or silicone oil intraperitoneally into BALB/c mice induced the formation of antibodies that reacted by ELISA with highly purified crystalline cholesterol and, to a much lesser extent, antibodies that reacted with a phospholipid (dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol). Although IgM and IgG antibodies to cholesterol were detected, the titers of IgG antibodies were low when compared with IgM. The titers of IgM antibodies to cholesterol in certain sera exhibited activities that reached baseline values at dilutions as high as 1:5000, thus making them equivalent to titers that have been previously published for ascites fluid containing murine monoclonal antibodies to cholesterol. The antibodies to cholesterol induced by silicone compounds are indistinguishable in their binding to crystalline cholesterol from naturally-occurring antibodies to cholesterol in normal human serum. They are also indistiguishable from antibodies induced by a proposed vaccine to cholesterol that is currently in late preclinical development for prevention of hypercholesterolemia in humans. The anti-cholesterol vaccine, which consists of liposomes heavily laden with cholesterol as an antigen and lipid A as an adjuvant, induces antibodies that react with low density lipoproteins (LDL) and opsonize them for removal by liver macrophages. It appears that silicone gel or silicone oil causes recruitment and adsorption of cholesterol at the injection site, and also serves as an adjuvant that may have immunostimulant properties similar to lipid A for inducing antibodies to lipids. Antibodies to lipids such as cholesterol or phospholipids are not harmful to intact cell membranes because of steric hindrance from surrounding lipids and larger macromolecules that block binding of the antibodies.

AB The role of cytochrome P-450 in the regulation of plasma membrane Ca+2 permeability of human peripheral T-lymphocytes by intracellular Ca+2 was examined. We assessed the effect of imidazole inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 on the intracytoplasmic free Ca+2 ([Ca+2]i) response generated using the microsomal ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (THG) to deplete the intracellular Ca+2 stores. Econazole, miconazole and clotrimazole dramatically inhibited the THG mediated increase in [Ca-2]i and induced an increase in [Ca+2]i themselves. This inhibitory effect was previously observed in other cell systems and was attributed to inhibition of cytochrome P-450 by these agents. However, we evaluated a variety of structurally dissimilar P-450 inhibitors and found that none affected [Ca+2]i, indicating that the mechanism of imidazole action does not involve P-450.

AB Various composites of BSTO combined with other nonelectrically active oxide ceramics have been formulated. In general, the composites have adjustable electronic properties which can be tailored far use in phased array antennas and other phase shifting devices. The dielectric constant and the loss tangents have been reduced to enhance the overall impedance matching and thereby lowering the insertion loss of the device. In addition, the overall tunability, the change in the dielectric constant with applied voltage, is maintained al a sufficiently high level. The thickness limitation of the bulk materials is around 3-4 mils which can be used up to approximately 15 GHz. In order to increase the operating frequencies of the phase shifters, thick films were fabricated using non-aqueous tape-casting The tapes were electrically characterized and compared to bulk ceramics. Also, laminated stacks of high dielectric constant and low dielectric constant alternating layers were fabricated.

AB Composites of BSTO combined with other non electrically active oxides have demonstrated adjustable electronic properties which can be tailored for use in various electronic devices.([1, 2]) These novel composites of barium strontium titanate (BSTO) and oxide III compounds have already exhibited promising results in their ceramic form.([3]) The additive oxides modify the dielectric constant, tunability (change in the dielectric constant with applied voltage), and dielectric loss of the material. One application has been for use in phased array antennas and insertion has been accomplished into several working antenna systems.([4]) To further accommodate the frequencies required by these phased array antennas, thin films of the composites have been fabricated. Preliminary studies have indicated that thin films of such composites exhibit similar behavior as their bulk ceramic counterparts.([5]) The purpose of this study is to investigate the properties of the BSTO/oxide III based compounds in thin film form.

AB The amplitude and waveform shape of atmospheric acoustic pulses propagating horizontally over a seasonal snow cover are profoundly changed by the air forced into the snow pores as the pulses move over the surface. This interaction greatly reduces the pulse amplitude and elongates the waveform compared to propagation above other ground surfaces. A comparison of experimentally observed blank pistol shot waveforms with waveforms theoretically calculated using a rigid porous media model for the snow and ground can be used to determine the snow cover properties. By varying the source and receiver positions during the experimental measurements, the spatial variations in snow properties near the edge of a forest were sampled at the site of the 1995 Norwegian winter blast tests. An inversion procedure that automatically matches the observed waveforms revealed a very shallow area of snow, just inside the forest, caused by the warming effect of the trees which absorb and reradiate solar energy. These acoustic measurements were in agreement with direct depth measurements and snow pit observations. The waveform inversion procedure is able to accurately determine the snow cover conditions even in the highly variable region at the edge of the forest.

AB In patients with advanced ovarian cancer, high response rates are achieved with chemotherapy combinations that include alkylating agents and platinum coordination complexes. However, few patients experience long-term control of disease, especially when primary resection leaves substantial residual mass. Paclitaxel (Taxol(R)), a new agent with documented activity in platinum-refractory ovarian cancer, has been shown to be well tolerated when given in combination with cisplatin. In this prospective study, we compared the combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin with a standard therapy of cyclophosphamide-cisplatin in patients with suboptimal stage III and stage IV disease. Of 410 patients with advanced ovarian cancer and >1-cm residual masses following initial surgery, 386 met all eligibility criteria. These patients were randomly assigned to receive a regimen of cisplatin (75 mg m(-2)) and cyclophosphamide (750 mg m(-2)) or cisplatin (75 mg m(-2)) and paclitaxel (135 mg m(-2)) delivered over 24 h. Dosage reductions in cyclophosphamide or paclitaxel were permitted for significant toxicity. Among 216 patients with measurable disease, responses were reported in 73% of those randomized to receive cisplatin-paclitaxel and in 60% of those who received cisplatin-cyclophosphamide. Median progression-free survival was significantly longer (P < 0.001) with the cisplatin-paclitaxel combination compared with cisplatin-cyclophosphamide (17.9 vs 12.9 months, respectively). Median overall survival also was significantly longer (P < 0.001) with cisplatin-paclitaxel (37.5 vs 24.4 months). Thus, this study provides compelling evidence that giving the paclitaxel-cisplatin combination as first-line therapy for suboptimally debulked stage III or any stage IV ovarian cancer can increase both the duration of the progression-free interval and the overall survival while maintaining an acceptable toxicity profile.

AB For a rigid/perfectly plastic material with linear thermal softening and power law rate hardening there is a competition between heat conduction and inertia in determining the time of shear band formation. In a finite specimen the nominal strain rate that produces the fastest growth of perturbations corresponds to the minimum critical strain. Similarly for a fixed strain rate in an infinite specimen, there is a finite wavelength with the maximum growth rate. It is argued that this wavelength should correspond to the most probable minimum spacing for shear bands. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

AB A total of 219 strains belonging to the genera Buttiauxella and Kluyvera were studied; 171 of these strains were isolated from mollusks, mainly snails and slugs, obtained from around the world, On the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization data, the strains were grouped into 11 genomospecies, A total of 44 phenotypic characters were used to differentiate the genera Buttiauxella and Kluyvera at the genus level and to identify genomospecies, There were significantly higher phenotypic probability distances between the genomospecies in the genus Buttiauxella and the genomospecies in the genus Kluyvera than between the genomospecies in the same genus, Therefore, the existence of Buttiauxella and Kluyvera as different genera was confirmed, The existence of new species necessitated broadening the definitions of both genera, In two cases, two Buttiauxella species could not be quantitatively differentiated biochemically, and several other pairs of species could be separated only by the results of one biochemical test, Nonetheless, combinations of several characteristics were used to differentiate all of the species with levels of certainty ranging from log 10.79 to log 57.77 (calculated as probability distances), The following new species are proposed: Buttiauxella ferragutiae (type strain, ATCC 51602 [DSM 9390]), Buttiauxella gaviniae (type strain, ATCC 51604 [DSM 9393]), Buttiauxella brennerae (type strain, ATCC 51605 [DSM 9396]), Buttiauxella izardii (type strain, ATCC 51606 [DSM 9397]), Buttiauxella noackiae (type strain, ATCC 51607 [DSM 9401]), Buttiauxella warmboldiae (type strain, ATCC 51608 [DSM 9404]), Kluyvera cochleae (type strain, ATCC 51609 [DSM 9406]), and Kluyvera georgiana (type strain, ATCC 51603 [DSM 9409]).

AB The McLaughlin/Markham ''Super Mini'' microtunneling system was evaluated under a variety of documented, challenging ground conditions at a specially built test bed at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). The McLaughlin/Markham system uses temporary, bolt-together, steel pipes for the initial drive. When the machine reaches the reception shaft, product pipes of approximately the same diameter (24 inch) can be jacked behind the temporary pipes to complete the installation. Alternatively, a reamer assembly can be installed in place of the microtunneling machine at the reception shaft, and the hole enlarged to accept larger diameter (up to 42 inch) product pipe.

AB Thin-film piezoceramic resonators are expected to play an important role in future telecommunications systems as frequency control and selection elements. This stems from their high piezocoupling and low cost; the combination of high coupling with moderate loss values makes electrical characterization difficult. We give here improved electrical equivalent circuits, and contrast them with those circuits traditionally used.

AB Piezoelectric Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 (PZT) thin films for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) were deposited on platinum coated silicon substrates by sol-gel processing using lead acetate trihydrate as the lead source. A thickness uniformity of better than 1% variation over 4 '' wafers was achieved. Auger depth profiling showed good compositional homogeneity through the film thickness, with some lead loss at the film surface. A PbO top layer on the top of PZT thin films gave improved properties. Grazing angle scanning XRD confirmed that the PbO top layer helped prevent the formation of a pyrochlore surface during crystallization. Work on reactive etching of the PZT thin films was also initiated. It was found that Cl-2/CCl4 mixtures could be used to etch PZT with an etching rate of 100 similar to 150 Angstrom/min, and HCFC-124 with a rate of 320 Angstrom/min.

AB Ceramic composites of barium strontium titanate and other non-ferroelectric oxides have been fabricated for use in phased array antennas. These composites have shown superior electronic properties at low and microwave frequencies in that they have reduced dielectric constants, low loss tangents and high tunabilities. However, minimal work (other than x-ray powder diffraction) has been reported on the correlation of these electronic properties to the site substitutions and the sample topography. Raman and FTIR spectroscopy has been used to study the structural properties related to the additions of both strontium to the barium titanate crystal structure as well as the effect of the additions of oxide III on Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (1-x = 0.00, 0.15, 0.30, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.6, 0.7, 0.80, and 1.0). The optical properties of the ceramic composites have been correlated to the electrical properties of the materials such as the Curie temperatures and these results will be discussed in detail.

AB The oxide composites of barium strontium titanium oxide (BSTO) have been fabricated in thin film form by the pulsed laser deposition (PLA) method. The amount of the oxide additive in the BSTO matrix was varied from 1 wt% to 60 wt%. The thin films were deposited on single crystal sapphire substrates. The intent of this work is to study the effect of the oxide additive on the crystal structure of BSTO and compare it to its bulk ceramic counterpart. Glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GAXRD), Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were utilized in this work. Since the bulk ceramics of these composites of BSTO have already been implemented in low loss electronic scanning antennas, it is necessary to characterize the material in its thin film form for applications at higher microwave frequencies (>35 GHz).

AB The reactive ion etching (RIE) method was used for patterning of the oxide composites of barium strontium titanium oxide (BSTO) thin films. In a previous article [1], the excimer laser patterning of the undoped BSTO thin films were attempted. In this article, we will discuss the RIE parameters of not only the undoped BSTO thin films but also that of the oxide composites of the BSTO thin films. The reason for this study is to establish the parameters necessary for patterning the thin films for applications in high frequency coplanar phase shifter elements to be used in e-scan antennas. The thin films were deposited by the pulsed laser ablation (PLD) method.

AB Weertman [1] postulated on theoretical grounds that wet-bottomed ice sheets could, by refreezing of basal meltwater generated by geothermal and frictional heating, incorporate debris from the underlying bed. This "freeze-in" of basal moraine was offered as an alternative mechanism to that of "shearing-in" to explain the origin of so-called shear moraines at the margin of the Greenland Ice sheet. A viable test of Weertman's "freeze-in" hypothesis came several years later with the successful drilling to bedrock of the Antarctic Ice Sheet at Byrd Station. Penetration of the ice/rock interface at this location was accompanied by significant upwelling of water into the 2164-m-deep drill hole. The bottom 4.83 m of ice core from Byrd Station contained abundant stratified debris, testifying to episodic incorporation of bed sediment into the base of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The nature and disposition of this basal moraine, together with stable isotope and entrapped gas analyses of the enclosing ice, are consistent only with a "freeze-in" mechanism as first postulated by Weertman. Formation of debris-laden ice in cores from the bottom of the Greenland Ice Sheet at Camp Century has also been attributed to freeze-in of bed sediment, further reinforcing the notion that it is the likely pre-dominant mechanism of basal moraine formation in ice sheets at their pressure melting points. However, at two other locations in Greenland, where the ice sheet is frozen to the bed, debris in the basal ice has been demonstrated to have originated as ground ice prior to the growth of the present day ice sheet.

AB Following a 4-year controlled trial comparing early and later zidovudine treatment, we conducted an additional 3-year follow-up. Of the original 338 patients, 275 participated. Clinical outcome measures were AIDS and death. In the early therapy group (n = 170), 67 patients progressed to AIDS compared with 85 in the later therapy group (n = 168); the relative risk (RR) comparing early with later therapy was 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.52-0.99; p = 0.044). The early therapy group had 74 deaths compared with 73 in the later therapy (RR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.71-1.36; p = 0.91). The early group had a peak CD4+ count increase at 1-2 months and a delay of 1 year before CD4+ counts fell below baseline. For patients who received zidovudine for more than the median duration (20.3 months) before their first AIDS diagnosis, the RR for death was 2.08 (95% CI, 1.36-3.19, p = 0.001). Additional factors independently associated with poor prognosis following AIDS were a CD4+ count of <100 cells/mm(3) and increased severity of the first AIDS diagnosis, whereas use of another antiretroviral agent was associated with improved survival. We conclude that early zidovudine therapy delays progression to AIDS but does not affect survival. Patients who progress to AIDS while on prolonged zidovudine monotherapy many benefit from a change to other antiretroviral therapy(ies).

AB To define the epitopes present within the V3 loop sequence recognized by five HIV-1 envelope-specific T-cell lines, a panel of V3 LAI peptides bearing sequential truncations from both the N- and C-terminus was synthesized and tested for their ability to induce proliferation. Each individual T-cell line had a different pattern of response against the truncated V3 peptides, demonstrating the presence of a cluster of CD4(+) T-cell epitopes within the V3 loop. To assess the ability of these envelope-specific T-cell lines to recognize and proliferate in response to V3 loops of different viral strains, they were tested against a panel of heterologous V3 loop peptides derived from different viral genotypes within and outside of HIV-1 clade B. There was no proliferative response against heterologous V3 loops by any of the lines, demonstrating that recognition of the V3 epitopes is highly strain specific. One of the defined epitopes was shown to elicit a cytotoxic response as well, suggesting the multifaceted role that the CD4(+) T cell might play in HIV-1 disease.

AB Geographic and demographic correlates of risk for HIV-1 seropositivity were studied in 120,216 young men selected by lottery for service in the Royal Thai Army (RTA). The study population consisted of men selected between November 1991 and May 1993. Venous blood was collected at induction, and a brief demographic questionnaire was administered. HIV-1 seropositivity was established by Western blot confirmation of duplicate reactive ELISAs. Geographic variables provided the strongest correlate of risk, clearly distinguishing residents of the upper north, Bangkok, and the central region from the northeast. Overall 12.2% of men from the upper north were HIV-positive. Men who had lived in rural areas were at less risk in most regions of the country, but had equal risk in the upper north. Unmarried men and these with less education were at higher risk throughout the country, These data provide valuable information on the prevalence of HIV infection in one segment of the general population. Continued surveillance of this group will facilitate evaluation of Thailand's response to the epidemic.

AB As a useful model to examine adhesion at interfaces, we analyze the following problem: Consider two cantilever beams of wood nailed together by n nails per unit area with penetration length L. Optionally, n(row) nails may be placed in a single row at distance a from the beam ends. How does the fracture energy G(lc) and critical load P-cr depend on n, n(row), L, and the deformation velocity V? The solution to this problem is called the 'nail solution'. Using pine wood beams and nails of varying length, we demonstrate that (a) G(lc) 1/2 mu(0) V(a)nL(2), (b) P-cr similar to L root n, (c) G(lc) similar to L(2)n(row)(2), and (d) P-cr similar to Ln(row), where mu(0) approximate to 3000 N/m is the static friction coefficient per unit nail length during the pullout process, and the exponent a = 0. The friction coefficients evaluated by simple tension pullout were found to be the same for cantilever beam debonding and were very sensitive to the pullout angle. The results of this simple friction-controlled fracture mechanics experiment, combined with additional surface energy terms, are used to understand the adhesion strength development in more complex molecular systems such as (1) weak amorphous glassy polymers with molecular weights less than the critical entanglement molecular weight, (2) polymer welding and wetting, (3) incompatible polymer interfaces, (4) interfaces reinforced with diblock compatibilizers, and (5) fiber-reinforced composites.

AB Amorphous silicon-containing diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coatings were deposited by Ar+ ion beam-assisted physical vapor deposition of tetraphenyl-tetramethyl-trisiloxane (704 Dow Coming diffusion pump oil). The steel substrates studied included AISI 4130, 17-7 PH, 440-C, and 4340 (bare and nitride-precoated) specimens. DLC coating thicknesses ranged from 1.8 to 4.31 mu. Deposition rates increased with increasing beam current density and varied with the steel substrate composition. Nanoindentation measurements of the hardness and elastic modulus at two different depths yielded values of 9-10 GPa and 99-128 GPa, respectively. Film cohesion and adhesion failure loads increased with increasing underlying Layer hardness, chromium content in the substrate, or the presence of a titanium nitride precoat. The friction coefficient of a diamond stylus against the coating surface decreased and wear resistance increased with nitride precoating.

ID SILICON-CARBIDE; MONOCRYSTALLINE
AB The electrical characteristics of buried-gate, n-channel junction-held-effect transistors (JFETs) fabricated in epitaxial layers grown on 6H - SiC wafers have been measured as a function of temperature, from 218 to 773 K (- 55 to 500 degrees C). The data are in good agreement with predictions of a model that uses standard abrupt-junction, long-channel JFET device equations for which the carrier concentration is calculated based on a two-level ionization structure for the nitrogen donor. An inverse power-law dependence of carrier mobility on temperature is assumed based on recent measurements of Hall mobility in epitaxial films of comparable doping. The only free parameter of the model is the compensation density, which is chosen by fitting the calculated saturated drain current to the measured value at room temperature. There are some deviations between the calculated and measured I - V characteristics at both temperature extremes (218 and 773 K), which are attributed to increased substrate resistivity at 218 K and to increased gate leakage current at 773 K.

AB Phosgene, a toxic gas widely used as an industrial chemical intermediate, is known to cause life-threatening latent noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Mechanisms related to its toxicity appear to involve lipoxygenase mediators of arachidonic acid (AA) and can be inhibited by pretreatment with drugs that increase adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). In the present study, we used the isolated buffer-perfused rabbit lung model to investigate the mechanisms by which cAMP protects against phosgene-induced lung injury. Posttreatment with dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) was given 60-85 min after exposure by an intravascular or intratracheal route. Lung weight gain (LWG) was measured continuously. AA metabolites leukotriene (LT) C-4, LTD(4), and LTE(4) and 6-ketoprostaglandin F-1 alpha were measured in the perfusate at 70, 90, 110, 130, and 150 min after exposure. Tissue malondialdehyde and reduced and oxidized glutathione were analyzed 150 min postexposure. Compared with measurements in the lungs of rabbits exposed to phosgene alone, posttreatment with DBcAMP significantly reduced LWG, pulmonary arterial pressure, and inhibited the release of LTC(4), LTD(4), and LTE(4). Intratracheal administration of DBcAMP was more effective than intravascular administration in reducing LWG. Posttreatment also decreased MDA and protected against glutathione oxidation observed with phosgene exposure. We conclude that phosgene causes marked glutathione oxidation, lipid peroxidation, release of AA mediators, and increases LWG. Posttreatment with DBcAMP attenuates these effects, not only by previously described inhibition of pulmonary endothelial or epithelial cell contraction but also by inhibition of AA-mediator production and a novel antioxidant effect.

AB Occupational exposure criteria have not been established for sulfur mustard (bis(2-chlorethyl) sulfide), a strong alkylating agent with known mutagenic properties. Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats of each sex, 6-7 weeks old, were divided into six groups (12 of each sex per group) and gavaged with 0, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 or 0.3 mg kg(-1) sulfur mustard in sesame oil for 5 days a week for 13 weeks. No dose-related mortality was observed. A significant decrease (P > 0.05) in body weight was observed in both sexes of rats only in the 0.3 mg kg(-1) group. Hematological evaluations and clinical chemistry measurements found non consistent treatment-related effects at the doses studied. The only treatment-related lesion associated with gavage exposure upon histopathological evaluation was eipthelial hyperplasia of the forestomach of both sexes at 0.3 mg kg(-1) and of males at 0.1 mg kg(-1). The hyperplastic change was minimal and characterized by cellular disorganization of the basilar layer, apparent increase in mitotic activity of the basilar epithelial cells and thickening of the epithelial layer due to the apparent increase in cellularity. The estimated no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for sulfur mustard in this 90-day study was 0.1 mg kg(-1) day(-1) when administered orally.

AB The neurotoxicity of organophosphorus (OF) compounds involves the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing accumulation of acetylcholine (ACh) at synapses. However, cholinergic crisis may not be the sole mechanism of OP toxicity, Adverse drug reactions caused by synergistic toxicity between drugs with distinct pharmacological mechanisms are a common problem, Likewise, the multiple pharmacological activities of a single molecule might also contribute to either toxicity or efficacy. For example, certain OP compounds (e.g. soman) exhibit anti-AChE activity and also act as secretagogues by inducing mast cell degranulation with associated autacoid release and anaphylactoid reactions. Anaphylactoid shock can produce a lethal syndrome with symptoms of respiratory failure and circulatory collapse similar to the physiological sequelae observed for OP poisoning. Moreover, the major classes of drugs used as antidotes for OP intoxication can affect anaphylaxis. Acetylcholine can act as an agonist of autacoid release, and autacoids such as histamine can augment soman-induced bronchial spasm. In concert with the demonstrably critical role of cholinergic crisis in OP toxicity, the precepts of neuroimmunology indicate that secondary adverse reactions encompassing anaphylactoid reactions may complicate OP toxicity.

AB Combinations of the herbicide fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone} and the microbial pathogen Mycoleptodiscus terrestris (Gerdemann) Ostazeski (Mt) were tested for efficacy under controlled-environment conditions against dioecious hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle. Fluridone rates of 2, 5, and 12 mu g/L, Mt rates of 25, 50, 100 and 200 colony forming units (CFU) per mi, and integrated treatments of 2, 5, and 12 mu g/L + 100 and 200 CFU/ml, and 12 mu g/L + 25 and 50 CFU/ml were tested. Although a dose response was noted among fluridone rates, all treatments resulted in linear decreases in biomass, photosynthesis (PTS) and chlorophyll from 14 through 94 days posttreatment. In contrast, Mr applications of 25 and 50 CFU/ml were ineffective throughout the study. Mt at 25 and 50 CFU/ml + 12 mu g/L fluridone showed no differences from the 12 mu g/L fluridone treatment alone. As Mt rates were increased to 100 and 200 CFU/ml, severe initial injury was noted within 5 d; however, PTS and chlorophyll showed strong signs of recovery by 14 d and biomass was fully recovered by 28 d posttreatment. Fluridone at all rates + Mt at 100 and 200 CFU/ml produced rapid injury and biomass reductions of > 90% by 28 d posttreatment. The lack of intact viable tissue prevented sampling of physiological variables past 28 d. No differences were noted between the integrated treatments, indicating a lack of dose response. Mt at rates of 100 and 200 CFU/ml resulted in rapid plant injury; however, only short-term control was achieved. Continuous exposure to fluridone resulted in a steady reduction in biomass over time. Integrating fluridone with Mt at rates of 100 and 200 CFU/ml greatly enhanced control, reduced exposure requirements, and increased susceptibility of hydrilla to fluridone at a rate (2 mu g/L) that was not otherwise lethal.

ID THERAPY; NODULE; IMPACT; CANCER; SCAN
AB Clinical members of the American Thyroid Association were surveyed in regard to their diagnostic assessment, treatment, and long term assessment of differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. For a 39-yr-old female with a 2-cm solitary nodule and no history of radiation (index patient), respondents were asked to provide their preferences for diagnostic evaluation, treatment assuming a papillary carcinoma was focal, and follow-up. Of 408 surveys mailed, 233 (57.1%) were analyzed. Diagnostic studies included thyroid scan (56%), fine needle aspiration (96%), total serum T-4 (49%), and third generation TSH (56%). Treatment included surgery (99%), with 86% preferring near-total/total thyroidectomy. After surgery, 61% recommended I-131 ablation; long term therapy using L-T-4 alone was recommended by 97%, with most preferring suppression to a target TSH level of less than 0.01 mu IU/mL (22%), 0.01-0.05 (38%), or 0.06-0.50 (32%). For variations from the index patient, respondents' treatment were not different for a history of radiation, age of either 16 or 60 yr, nodule size of 1.5 cm, male sex, the presence of less than 1-cm multiple foci in the contralateral lobe, or capsular invasion of the nodule. Treatment and follow-up did change if there was blood vessel invasion or distant metastasis. In summary, our survey indicated consensus on diagnostic assessment of the index patient by fine needle aspiration and management by surgery and I-131 therapy. However, management varied widely for the ablative dose of I-131, the target TSH level after ablation, and the frequency and type of follow up.

AB Two different families of graphite/epoxy laminates with similar layups but different stacking sequences, (0/theta/-theta)(s) and (-theta/theta/0)(s) laminates, were analyzed using three-dimensional finite element analysis for theta = 15 and 30 degrees. Delaminations were modeled in the -theta/theta interface, bounded by a matrix crack and the stress free edge. The total strain energy release rate, G, along the delamination front was computed using three different techniques: the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), the equivalent domain integral (EDI) technique, and a global energy balance technique. The opening fracture mode component of the strain energy release rate, G(I), along the delamination front was also computed for various delamination lengths using VCCT. Although the finite element model did not have an orthogonal mesh, VCCT still yielded accurate results which were in agreement with the global energy balance and yielded similar G distributions across the delamination front as the EDI technique. For both layups analyzed, the matrix crack length influenced the magnitude of G for delamination. Furthermore, the opening mode, G(I), was greatest near the matrix crack and decreased near the free edge. The laminate stacking sequences with a matrix crack in the surface angle ply had a greater G(I) value than the laminate stacking sequences with an angle ply matrix crack in the interior of the specimen thickness. This is consistent with test results in the literature that show delamination occurs earlier in the fatigue life of laminates with matrix cracks in the surface plies than in the interior plies.

AB Critical-sized defects (CSDs) were prepared in 60 rabbit skulls, divided evenly among five treatments and two time periods. The treatments consisted of rabbit demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and four different doses of transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) (0, 0.4, 4, and 40 mu g) delivered in 3% carboxymethyl cellulose and Gelfilm. Quantitative assessments of bone formation in the CSDs were accomplished with computerized radiomorphometry and histomorphometry. Results indicated that rabbit DBM and 40 mu g TGF-beta(1) promoted more new bone formation at 4 weeks than the other treatments. By 8 weeks, bone formation in the CSDs was equivalent for all but the 0-mu g dose of TGF-beta(1). The results from the study suggest a single therapeutic dose of TGF-beta(1) delivered in an appropriate carrier to a critical-sized intraosseous wound should promote bone formation.

TI A study of organic solvent component in the emulsion system for
   decontamination of polymer-thickened chemical warfare agents
SO JOURNAL OF DISPERSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
AB The effects of the mixing process and pH on the available chlorine content of the decontaminant calcium hypochlorite (or high-test hypochlorite, HTH) in the organic solvent-HTH-water mixture have been studied In order to develop new emulsion systems for the decontamination of polymer-thickened chemical warfare agents. A series of water-soluble and water-insoluble organic solvents were investigated. The observed temperature increase during the mixing of the water-soluble organic solvents with HTH and water was found to be mostly resulted from the mixing enthalpy of the solvent with water. It can be minimized by using a new mixing procedure. The effectiveness of HTH as the decontaminant was evaluated by monitoring the available chlorine content of the system at various time intervals after mixing. An increase in the basicity of the solvent-HTH-water system generally leads to a higher chlorine content. For the systems with the water-insoluble organic solvents, there was neither noticeable increase in temperature during the mixing nor significant loss of the chlorine content.

AB Forty-six extracted human teeth, 26 maxillary central incisors, and 20 mandibular incisors were instrumented with flared preparations, The maxillary and mandibular incisors were prepared to #50 and #30 master apical file sizes, respectively, Ten maxillary and mandibular teeth were obturated with a single gutta-percha (GP) cone and Super-ERA cement, Ten maxillary and mandibular incisors were obturated with laterally condensed GP and Roth 801 sealer. Six maxillary incisors were used as controls, Apical leakage of India ink was measured using a stereomicroscope after clearing the teeth, Results showed significantly less leakage in the mandibular incisors filled with GP and Super-ERA (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in leakage when comparing the maxillary central incisors (p > 0.05). In this in vitro study, root canal obturation with a single GP cone and Super-ERA showed promise as an effective way to eliminate or reduce apical microleakage, Further studies are needed to test the ability to use this obturation method clinically.

ID HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE; OZONE DECOMPOSITION; PULSE-RADIOLYSIS; WATER;
   PHOTOLYSIS; RADICALS
AB Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have great potential for the complete destruction of hazardous contaminants; however, the complex kinetics and mechanisms of the free-radical reactions involved often render process optimization difficult. In this paper, a kinetic model and associated rate expressions for AOPs are developed to facilitate evaluation and optimization of treatment performance. The kinetic model has been formulated based on key reactions known to occur in both illuminated and dark AOP systems in the aqueous phase. As a result of fast free-radical chain reactions, the hydroxyl radical (OH .), which is mostly responsible for decontamination, is expected to be at low steady-state concentrations, depending on treatment conditions. Thus, the OH . concentration must be optimized with respect to treatment conditions to promote fast decontamination reactions and reduce wasteful scavenging reactions. A final rate expression is derived for the steady-state concentration of OH . as a function of light intensity, quantum yield, illuminated surface, reaction volume, total absorption coefficient of the water, extinction coefficients of O-3 and H2O2, concentrations of oxidants (i.e., O-3 and H2O2) and OH . scavenger, and pH.

In addition to the expected compounds, the formation of unusual products such as bis(trifluoromethyl) trithiocarbonate, dimethyl(trifluoromethylthio)benzene, bis(trifluoromethylthio) fluoromethane, (trifluoromethylthio) carbonyl fluoride, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, trifluoromethylthiobenzoate, etc. was observed. In some cases, bis(trifluoromethylthio)mercury has been used instead of trifluoromethylthiocopper. The mechanism of formation of the various products and their mass spectral fragmentation behavior are described.

AB The purpose of this paper is to present methods available for engineered remediation of seismically deficient earth darns (not including tailings dams), to review their strengths and weaknesses, to present case histories of the application of these methods, and to draw conclusions about the state of practice. A survey of completed and active rehabilitation projects was made. This survey identified 30 dams with engineering fixes and 22 with operational fixes. Data was obtained and is presented in tabular form for 36 darns. Of these dams, 13 had seismically deficient foundations, 15 had deficient embankments, and 8 had deficiencies in both embankment and foundations. Synopses of case histories are presented for John Hart Dam, Sardis Dam, Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam, and Pleasant Valley Dam.

TI Flux of debris transported by ice at three Alaskan tidewater glaciers

DT Article

AB The stability of a tidewater terminus is controlled by glacial dynamics, calving processes and sedimentary processes at the grounding line. An investigation of grounding-line sediment dynamics and morainal-bank sediment budgets in Glacier Bay. Alaska, U.S.A., has yielded data that enable us to determine the debris fluxes of Grand Pacific, Margerie and Muir Glaciers. Debris flux ranges from 10(5) to 10(6) m(3) a(-1) one to two orders of magnitude lower than the glacifluvial sediment fluxes (10(6)-10(7) m(3) a(-1)). Combined, these fluxes represent the highest yields known for glacierized basins. Large debris fluxes reflect the combined effects of rapid glacier flow: driven by the maritime climate of southeast Alaska; and highly erodible bedrock. Englacial-debris distribution is affected by valley width and relief both of which control the availability of sediment. The number of tributaries controls the distribution and volume of debris in englacial and supraglacial moraines. At the terminus, iceberg-rafting removes up to two orders of magnitude more sediment from the ice-proximal environment than is deposited by melt-out or is dumped during calving events. Rough estimates of the sediment flux by deforming beds suggests that soft-bed deformation may deliver up to an order of magnitude more sediment to the terminus than is released from within the glacier ice.

TI Localized surface-ice weakness on a glacial ice runway
SO JOURNAL OF GLACIOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
AB Following construction of a glacial ice runway on the Ross Ice Shelf Antarctica, and prior to flight operations, the runway was proof-rolled. The proof exercise was designed to simulate typical heavy aircraft. Initial testing produced numerous brittle surface failures in the runway ice. Thin sections of ice cores taken from the failed areas showed large crystals (c axis vertical) of clear. blue ice with long, vertical bubbles. indicative of ice formed directly from meltwater. Uniaxial unconfined compression tests on core samples were used to compare runway ice strength with published data for polycrystalline laboratory ice. Since the frequent failure of surface ice had not been expected, it was critical to understand the formation and mechanical properties of the weak ice to prevent its occurrence in the future and to strengthen the existing problem areas. We discuss the likely scenarios for development of weak ice on the airstrip and the physical properties of this type of ice. Also, the procedure used to repair successfully the runway surface is described, which culminated in test flights, followed by full flight operations.

AB A sensitive ELISA using monoclonal antibodies (mAb) reactive with surface molecules specific for various leukocytes was devised to measure the adhesion of these cells to cultured monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Superantigens, staphylococcal enterotoxin B or toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 were used to activate human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The extent of adhesion of these cells to endothelial cells was assayed by measuring the optical density produced by a complex of peroxidase-labeled streptavidin, biotin-conjugated F(ab')(2) antimouse Ig and monoclonal antibody specific for leukocytes on fixed leukocytic cells that had adhered to endothelial cells. This method was fast and sensitive, and because the detection is by a specific marker on the cell of interest, it can be used in preparations of unseparated mixtures of cells. An increase in adhesion of superantigen-activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes to endothelial cells may contribute to the pathologic mechanism of superantigens.

ID INFECTION
AB In many patients, the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia is not known but may be caused by previously undescribed pathogens in some cases, The recently identified hantavirus Sin Nombre (SN) causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Because sporadic cases have occurred outside the range of its reservoir (the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus), an investigation sought to determine whether hantaviruses contributed to cases of community-acquired pneumonia in a large Baltimore hospital. Acute-phase sera from 385 hospitalized patients with pneumonia were examined using an IgG ELISA technique with antigens prepared from several hantaviruses: prototype Hantaan (HTN), Seoul (SEO), Puumala (PUU), Convict Creek (HN107), and SN. Of 385 sera, 8 (2.1%) showed some reactivity with one or more HTN, SEO, or PUU antigens but none had detectable specific IgM antibodies. No sera were reactive with SN or HN107 antigens. Thus, hantaviruses are an uncommon cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the Baltimore area.

AB Immunization of rabbits with a protein-free formulation consisting of liposomes containing 71% cholesterol and lipid A as an adjuvant induced anticholesterol antibodies that caused complement-dependent lysis of liposomes lacking lipid A. The antibodies, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM), also recognized nonoxidized crystalline cholesterol as an antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effects of immunization against cholesterol on elevations in serum cholesterol and development of atherosderosis were examined in rabbits fed a diet containing 0.5% to 1.0% cholesterol. Although the mean serum cholesterol level, mainly in the form of very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, rose as much as 60-fold in the nonimmunized rabbits, the elevation was significantly less-as much as 35% lower-in the immunized rabbits. Elevation of serum cholesterol was accompanied by an apparent drop in the level of antibodies on initiating the diet, followed by a rebound on stopping the diet, thus suggesting that the antibodies were adsorbed to cholesterol that was present in circulating lipoproteins. When lipoprotein fractions-composed of either very-low-density and intermediate-density lipoproteins derived from cholesterol-fed nonimmunized rabbits or human low-density lipoproteins-were tested as capture antigens by solid-phase ELISA, reactivity was observed with IgG and IgM antibodies present in the serum of immunized rabbits. Immunization also resulted in a marked decrease in the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Analysis of aortic atherosclerosis by quantitative histologic examination and fatty streaks by automated morphometric probability-of-occurrence mapping showed diminished atherosclerosis in most areas of the aorta in vaccine recipients. It is proposed that immunization with liposomes containing 71% cholesterol and lipid A can reduce diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.

Other primary product ions are NO2+ (m/z 46), CH2N+ (m/z 28) and CHN2O2+ (m/z 73), Fragmentation pathways are postulated based on the identity and relative abundance of the product ions, and on the change in relative abundance of the ions as a function of ionizing energy. Comparisons of the 70 eV mass spectra of 2,4-DNI, 4,5-dinitroimidazole (4,5-DNI) and 1,4-dinitroimidazole (1,4-DNI) show that the fragment product ions have the same m/z values in the three spectra but differ in their relative abundance and in the ion that forms the base peak. The base peak for 2,4-DNI and 4,5-DNI is formed by the ion at m/z 30 (NO+) and for 1,4-DNI, the ion at m/z 46 (NO2+). This difference is probably due to the nitramine functionality of 1,4-DNI.

AB Elevation in intracellular Ca2+ acting via protein kinase C (PKC) is shown to regulate tight junction resistance in T-84 cells, a human colon cancer line and a model Cl- secretory epithelial cell. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187, which was used to increase the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, caused a decrease in tight junction resistance in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Dual Na+/mannitol serosal-to-mucosal flux analysis performed across the T-84 monolayers treated with 2 mu M A23187 revealed that A23187 increased both fluxes and that in the presence of ionophore there was a linear relationship between the Na+ and mannitol fluxes with a slope of 56.4, indicating that the decrease in transepithelial resistance was due to a decrease in tight junction resistance. Whereas there was no effect of 0.1 mu M A23187, 1 or 2 mu M produced a 55% decrease in baseline resistance in 1 hr and 10 mu M decreased resistance more than 80%. The A23187-induced decrease in tight junction resistance was partially reversible by washing 3 times with a Ringer's-HCO3 solution containing 1% BSA. The A23187 effect on resistance was dependent on intracellular Ca2+; loading the T-84 cells with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA significantly reduced the decrease in tight junction resistance caused by A23187. This intracellular Ca2+ effect was mediated by protein kinase C and not calmodulin. While the protein kinase C antagonist H-7 totally prevented the action of A23187 on tight junction resistance, the Ca2+/calmodulin inhibitor W13 did not have any effect. Sphingosine, another inhibitor of PKC, partially reduced the A23187-induced decline in tight junction resistance. The PKC agonist PMA mimicked the A23187 effect on resistance, although the effect was delayed up to 1 hr after exposure. In addition, however, PMA also caused an earlier increase in resistance, indicating it had an additional effect in addition to mimicking the effect of elevating Ca2+. The effects of a phospholipase inhibitor (mepacrine) and of inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism (indomethacin for the cyclooxygenase pathway, NDGA for the lipoxygenase pathway, and SKF 525A for the epoxygenase pathway) on the A23187 action were also examined. None of these agents altered the A23187-induced decrease in resistance. Monolayers exposed to 2 mu M A23187 for 1 hr were stained with fluorescein conjugated phalloidin, revealing that neighboring cells did not part one from another and that A23187 did not have a detectable effect on distribution of F-actin in the perijunctional actomyosin ring. The results indicate that elevation in intracellular Ca2+ decreases tight junction resistance in the T-84 monolayer, acting through protein kinase C by a mechanism which does not involve visible changes in the perijunctional actomyosin ring.

AB Ionic conductivity measurements were used to determine the association enthalpies of divalent impurity ions and silver vacancies in silver chloride and silver bromide. The impurities were chosen, cognizant of previous work, to elucidate the effects of the ionic radius, the electronic structure, and host material. Conductance as a function of temperature was successfully measured for single crystals of AgCl doped with V2+, Cr2+, Fe2+, and Co2+, and on single crystals of AgBr doped with Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+. One main result from this investigation is the apparent independence of association enthalpies in AgCl from the size and electronic shell configuration of the first row transition metal ions. As expected, association enthalpy values were found to be smaller in AgBr than in AgCl. Also, a striking relationship between the ionic polarizability and the association enthalpy is demonstrated for AgBr.

ID HYDROCARBON
AB Computational fluid dynamics solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations have been used to numerically simulate the reacting in-bore flowfield for the ram accelerator projectile propulsion system. In this system a projectile and obturator are injected at supersonic velocity into a stationary tube filled with a pressurized mixture of hydrocarbon,oxidizer,and inert gases. Flow stagnation on the obturator initiates combustion of the mixture, before it is discarded. A system of shock waves on the projectile, in conjunction with viscous heating, sustains combustion. The resulting energy release, which travels with the projectile, also generates high pressures that impart thrust to the projectile. Numerical simulation utilizing finite rate chemical kinetics have been used to investigate this flowfield. Numerical results are used to visualize the flowfield, predict the effects of variation in system parameters, and predict projectile in-bore velocity.

SO JOURNAL OF PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY

DT Article
AB Forty-one complete mandibular subperiosteal implant-supported and retained dentures were consecutively inserted between 1952 and 1971, and patients were monitored through 1992. After variables and methods of follow-up were described, the implants were divided into three categories: 14 (34%) nonfunctional implants, 9 (22%) functioning implants, and 18 (44%) functional implants prematurely terminated by death or cause unrelated to implant condition. Five percent of the implants failed by 5 years, 22% failed by 10 years, 34% failed by 20 years, and none failed after 20 years. Nine implants were still functioning 21 to 36 years after insertion, of which five were functioning for more than 30 years. The implants that were developed later were notably superior to earlier implants. The results of this review could be interpreted to suggest consideration of mandibular subperiosteal implants for selected patients, particularly those with resorbed mandibles.

ID PATIENT EDUCATION; INTERVENTIONS; HEALTH; MODEL; CARE; AGE
AB Although prostate cancer is prevalent among older men in the United States today, the problems associated with diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation have received scant attention in the psychosocial community. Controversy surrounding the efficacy of treatment, the reputed equivalency of treatment options, socially unacceptable side effects, and debilitating bone pain in advanced disease can be overwhelming for this group of patients. An innovative, cost-effective, interdisciplinary educational intervention was developed to address these issues and was delivered to 107 men using the teleconferencing method. The hour-long program consisted of three segments: 25 minutes of medical information provided by an urologist, 25 minutes of information about pain management and psychosocial issues provided by a social worker, and 10 minutes of questions and answers. A posttest was administered by telephone after the intervention, and patients were asked to complete a mailed satisfaction survey. The authors offer several recommendations to others interested in conducting educational interventions through teleconferencing: for example, extending the question-and-answer period, administering a test before as well as after the conference, and making an effort to recruit African-American participants.

AB Light transducing phycobiliproteins are encapsulated in optically transparent sol-gel matrices. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies are used to characterize the effect of the sol-gel encapsulation on the conformation and aggregation states of the three major phycobiliproteins present in phycobilisomes: phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin. It is found that the effects of sol-gel entrapment on the spectroscopic properties are significantly different for the three phycobiliproteins. The results indicate that phycoerythrin undergoes only minor change in its native structure when entrapped in sol-gel. However, significant changes in conformation and aggregation state occur when phycocyanin and allophycocyanin are entrapped in sol-gel matrices. A thin film of sol-gel encapsulated phycoerythrin is also coated on an optical fiber surface and strong fluorescence from the evanescent wave excitation is detected. The potential applications of sol-gel encapsulated phycobiliproteins in biosensors are discussed.

A vortex-dominated flowfield is computed at supersonic speeds of M(infinity) = 3.5, 3.0, and 1.9. A time-dependent Navier-Stokes computational technique with zonal gridding was used. The axial force at zero angle of attack was computed and found to be in good agreement with the wind tunnel data at Mach 3.0. The wind tunnel sting effect on the axial force coefficient and the flow pattern was found to be very minor for the present case at Mach 3.5. An additional interesting case was computed at Mach 1.9, and the flow was found to be of the oscillatory (buzzing) type. The frequency of the oscillation was computed as 5333 Hz.

AB Although hirulog, a specific, direct inhibitor of thrombin, can prevent thrombosis in unstable angina and angioplasty without inducing excessive bleeding, it has not been used in a surgical setting. In the present study, the antithrombotic activity of hirulog was assessed in rats undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Three groups of anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats received either intravenous heparin (10 U/kg bolus followed by 90 U/kg/hr, n = 4), high-dose hirulog (0.8 mg/kg bolus followed by 2.2 mg/kg/hr, n = 7), or saline (n = 6) before endarterectomy and until termination of the protocol 30 min later. Platelet deposition, as measured by scanning electron microscopy, in rats receiving this high dose of hirulog was reduced by 63% (+/-14%, SE) compared to controls (P = 0.004) and by 36% (+/-16%) in heparinized rats (P = 0.07). Both groups had prolonged postsurgical bleeding. Infusion of hirulog at a lower dose (0.4 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.0 mg/kg/hr, n = 8) was not associated with prolonged bleeding; however, platelet deposition was reduced by only 16% (+/-27%, P = 0.30), although I-125-fibrin deposition was reduced by 64% (+/-11%, P = 0.004). In the high-dose hirulog group, plasma hirulog levels, as determined with a quantitative thrombin time, were three times higher (95% CI: 1.5-4.5 times) than in the group receiving the lower hirulog dose [11.6 +/- 2.3 (SE) mu g/ml vs 3.9 +/- 0.6 mu g/ml, P = 0.0022]. However, the mean activated partial thrombo plastin time with the higher dose was similar to that of the lower dose (110 +/- 4 vs 90 +/- 13 sec, P = 0.09). The antithrombotic activity of hirulog can be maximized by titrating the dose, monitoring plasma drug levels, and possibly administering the drug after surgery to avoid prolonged bleeding.

AB Objective: To determine the mental health needs and optimal treatments for children and families in ''real world'' settings, data-gathering strategies are needed that can be easily implemented across a variety of clinical settings. To address this need, the authors developed and piloted a ''clinician-friendly'' questionnaire that includes demographic, psychosocial, medical, and family history variables, such as those routinely gathered in standard clinical evaluations. Method: Optical scanning technology was used to encode data from more than 1,900 children, including 1,458 consecutive referrals in four military child psychiatry clinics, 285 consecutive admissions to a civilian psychiatric state hospital, 71 pediatric patients, and a community sample of 113 children. Results: Despite geographic and logistic obstacles, clinical data were reliably obtained across multiple settings. Data analyses revealed meaningful differences across samples in subjects' presenting complaints, and a range of psychosocial, demographic, and background variables. Data were characterized by an apparently high degree of accuracy and completeness. Conclusions: Findings illustrate the importance and feasibility of standardized data-gathering approaches in routine clinical settings and clarify the hazards as well as the opportunities afforded by these research approaches. Such data-gathering tools appear to have significant merit and deserve further implementation and testing across a range of clinical and research settings.

TI Clinical and histopathologic features of hair loss in patients with

DT Article
ID ACQUIRED-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-SYNDROME; ALOPECIA-AREATA; KAPPA-B; HLA-DR;

AB Background: Hair loss is common in patients with HIV-1 infection, and in black patients this loss may be associated with straightening. Possible causes are frequently present in patients with HIV-1. These causes include chronic HIV-1 infection itself and recurrent secondary infections; nutritional deficiencies, immunologic and endocrine dysregulation, and exposure to multiple drugs. However, histopathologic features have rarely been reported in these patients.
   Objective: The objective was to evaluate the changes in the hairs of a group of these patients and to identify the light microscopic and ultrastructural changes in the hairs and the histologic changes in the scalp.
   Methods: Hair plucks and pulls with scanning electron microscopy of the hairs were done on 10 patients with late-stage HIV-1 infection. In addition, scalp biopsy specimens were examined in both vertical and transverse sections.
   Results: All patients had telogen effluvium. Numerous apoptotic or necrotic keratinocytes were seen in the upper external root sheath follicular epithelium in addition to a mild to moderate perifollicular mononuclear cell infiltrate often containing eosinophils. Variable dystrophy of the hair shafts was also a consistent feature.
   Conclusion: Although telogen effluvium is a common response to a wide spectrum of biologic stresses, the presence of apoptotic or necrotic keratinocytes within the upper end of the external root sheath epithelium and dystrophy of hairs may be markers of hair loss in patients with HIV-1 infection.

AB The effects of sodium cyanide (CN, 0.1-10 mM) were studied on the action potentials elicited by stimulation of hybrid NG108-15 neuroblastoma cells differentiated with 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP. Concentration of CN less than 2 mM had no effect on the amplitude or time course of Na+ and Ca2+ spikes. In a suppopulation of cells showing repetitive discharges elicited by a single pulse, CN (2-10 mM), reversibly abolished repetitive firing within 15 min. In cells exhibiting a single action potential with no repetitive firing, CN up to 10 mM produced no change in the amplitude or time course of Na+ and Ca2+ spikes. In both classes of cells, stimulation at 1 Hz in the presence of CN (up to 5 mM) produced no appreciable use-dependent depression of either Na+ or Ca2+ spike. The ATP and phosphocreatine levels were not depressed in NG108-15 cells exposed to CN (0.1-10 mM) for up to 45 min. Action-potential-generating mechanisms were not depressed by CN when ATP reserves in the cells were greatly depleted by prior exposure to the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG). The only significant change was that in the presence of 2-DG cessation of repetitive discharges to single stimuli occurred, even in 0.2 mM CN. This action is most likely due to a reversible depression of the spike after-hyperpolarization. In general, metabolic processes that maintain ionic gradients across the membrane do not appear to be affected by CN at concentrations used in this study, as indicated by the maintenance of membrane potential and the persistence of action-potential generation. It appears that when the oxidative metabolic pathway is blocked by CN via inhibition of cytochrome-e oxidase, energy needs in NG 108-15 cells are met by glycolysis, which is able to sustain the physiological activity of the cell. When both oxidative and glycolytic pathways are blocked by CN and 2-DG, respectively, cellular function continues to be maintained for at least some time despite severely reduced metabolic reserves.

AB We describe the use of flow cytometric methods to analyze DNA damage. Cultured human cells treated with sulfur mustard (HD) were analyzed for DNA strand breakage by three methods. First, we used cell cycle analysis by propidium iodide (PI) uptake for determination of cell cycle disruption and DNA fragmentation after HD exposure. Second, a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) assay allowed for quantitation of DNA strand breaks resulting from treatment with HD. Last, we used immunostaining of the guanine N7 adducts (the primary DNA alkylation product resulting from HD exposure) as a measure of DNA repair. With these methods, it was possible to describe both concentration- and time-dependent effects of HD-exposure in human epithelial cells. We describe applications of these methods to future studies aimed at reducing DNA damage resulting from HD exposure.

AB The effect of pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (soman) on human bronchi in vitro and the ability of a beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist to relax contracture in human airways resulting from exposure to soman have been investigated. On unstimulated bronchi, soman produced variable effects. When bronchi were stimulated continuously by application of an electric field, soman produced sustained contracture in all tissues examined. Application of the beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist isoproterenol elicited relaxations that were larger in magnitude than the contractions resulting from the actions of soman. The duration of the isoproterenol-induced relaxation was variable. Of 12 preparations examined, 3 showed a rapid reversal of relaxation with a T-1/2 of 14 +/- 1 min; 6 reversed more slowly with a T-1/2 of 106 +/- 6 min; and 3 showed no reversal of the relaxation within 120 min. In tissues having a rapid reversal time of relaxation, application of the M(2) muscarinic receptor antagonist []2-[(Diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl]-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepine-6-one (AFDX-116) prolonged the response to isoproterenol. These observations demonstrate that beta(2)-adrenergic agonists antagonize both cholinergic responses to soman and the noncholinergic intrinsic tone that is quite pronounced in human bronchi. The ability of M(2) muscarinic receptor antagonists to prolong isoproterenol-induced relaxation suggests that human airway smooth muscle responses to beta-agonists are modulated by M(2) muscarinic receptors. Isolated human airway smooth muscle is therefore a useful model for the study of toxic chemical agent effects.

AB Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent that has been shown to produce G(2)/M cell-cycle block of human cells. Because protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has been implicated in the control of the normal G(2)/M transition, studies were undertaken to determine the role of PP2A in sulfur mustard-induced G(2)/M block of normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Sulfur mustard-induced G(2)/M cell-cycle block was characterized by markedly increased levels of cycling Bi and hyperphosphorylated cdc2 kinase. The G(2)/M block was completely reversed by a 4-h exposure to 500 nM okadaic acid or 10 nM calyculin A, potent inhibitors of PP2A. Reversal of the block was indicated by a loss of both hyperphosphorylated cdc2 kinase and cyclin B1. Lower concentrations of okadaic acid or calyculin A produced little or no reversal of sulfur mustard-induced G(2)/M block. Tautomycin, a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), was ineffective at concentrations up to 500 nM. Total cellular PP2A activity was not affected by sulfur mustard treatment. These results suggest that PP2A is involved in the G(2)/M block produced by exposure of normal human epidermal keratinocytes to Low concentration of sulfur mustard.

ID INFLAMMATION
AB Human keratinocytes (HK) participate in immunologic events influencing the behavior of resident cells and inflammatory cells in skin. It is clear that cytokines, immunologically active protein molecules that bind to specific receptors on target cells, are produced by keratinocytes. Specifically, keratinocytes have recently been recognized to exhibit the capacity to release interleukin (IL) 1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), which influence the growth, function, and differentiation of dermal and epidermal cells. Since HK have been demonstrated to be a potent source of various ILs, we investigated the effect of bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide [sulfur mustard, HD] in saline upon the expression of these cytokines. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, we found that after a 3-h exposure to 1 mM HD, adult and neonatal normal HK cell cultures show a significant decrease in the expression of all cytokines listed previously, with the exception of TNF-alpha in adult HK, which is only slightly decreased. These results indicate that IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-8 levels in HK cell cultures 3 h after HD exposure may provide a means for measuring the immunologic response.

AB An animal model was developed to examine the pharmacology of the highly toxic organophosphorus compound (OF) ethyl-S-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX) in rats after a subacute exposure in the absence of supporting therapy, such as atropine or an oxime. Male rats (200-220 g: n = 10 per dose level) were continuously exposed via an Alzet osmotic pump to VX in PEG-400 for 14 days at doses of 43, 54, 69, 89, or 109 mu g/kg/day (acute sc LD(50) = 45 mu g/kg). Controls received only PEG-400. At the two highest doses, all animals died within 2 days. Surviving animals lost weight for 4 days and then resumed weight gain at the same rate as controls. Blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in al VX dosed rats was depressed to zero within 2 days and remained depressed throughout the experiment. At 14 days, AChE activity in cortex, brainstem, midbrain, diaphragm, and soleus was depressed between 30 to 60%, depending on the tissue. When rats were exposed to VX at a rate of 57 mu g/kg/day (1.3 median lethal dose/day) and examined at 7 or 14 days, the neurotoxic esterase activity in brainstem, midbrain, and soleus muscle was depressed 75 to 90%. These same animals exhibited muscle myopathy in the soleus muscle. The described model is an initial effort to evaluate the pharmacological and physiological responses that may result when mammals are exposed to VX over a long time in the absence of any supporting therapy.

AB The mechanism of metabolic injury induced by the chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard (2,2'-dichlorodiethyl sulfide, HD) was examined in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK). Although the cell viability and oxidized nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+)) levels were maintained for 8 h after exposure to 0.33 mM HD, glucose utilization and lactate production were inhibited by 50%. The oxidized nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) content decreased linearly during the initial 3 to 4 h, leveling off to between 50 and 60% of control values for less than or equal to 8 h. Exposure to HD at less than or equal to 0.07 mM did not deplete NAD(+) or inhibit the rates of glucose utilization/lactate production for less than or equal to 24 h after exposure. However, exposures at >0.07 mM HD caused a time-dependent decrease in these same parameters. At 0 to 8 h after exposure, concentrations of HD between 0.03 and 0.17 mM caused increased rates of glycolysis in half of the experiments, thus suggesting activation of energy-requiring repair pathways. These results demonstrate that depletion of NAD(+) and inhibition of glucose metabolism are a function of HD dose and postexposure time. NAD(+) depletion and inhibition of glucose metabolism preceded the loss of cell viability as determined by dye exclusion. The various end points measured showed similar, but not necessarily identical, responses to the dose of HD and the time after exposure. HD also induced shifts in the cellular metabolic patterns; this suggests that the alterations in glucose metabolism were not simply a function of NAD(+) depletion. The data are consistent with the conclusion that HEK metabolize glucose primarily via anaerobic glycolysis and that HD induces complex shifts in the patterns of metabolic activity. We conclude that the relationships between HD exposure, intarcellular NAD(+), and the rates of glucose metabolism are more complex than originally proposed.

AB O-isobutyl S-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]methyIphosphonothioate (VR), a structural isomer of the chemical warfare agent O-ethyl S-[2(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate (VX) was characterized with respect to its toxicity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, oxime reactivation, and antidotal treatment. VR was highly toxic in guinea pigs, with an s.c. LD(50) of 11.3 mu g/g. The bimolecular rate constant for inhibition of AChE by VR was 1.4 x 10(8) M(-1) min(-1), which is similar to the AChE inhibition rate constants of VX and of other chemical warfare agents whose toxicity is attributed to their inhibition of AChE. Complete in vitro reactivation of VR-inhibited AChE was produced by oximes, but reactivation with the bispyridinium oximes 1-(((4-(aminocarbonyl)pyridino)methoxy methyl)-2-((hydroximino)methyl)pyridinium dichloride (HI-6), 1-(((4-(aminocarbonyl)pyridino)methoxy)methyl)-2,4-bis(hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium dimethanesulfonate (HL delta 7), and toxogonin dichloride (TOXO) occurred at a much higher rate than with the monopyridinium oxime 2-pyridine aldoxime methylchloride (2-PAM). The reactivation rates with HL delta 7, HI-6, and TOXO were, respectively, 21-, 5-, and 3-fold greater than with 2-PAM. The aging of VR-inhibited AChE to an oxime-resistant state occurred slowly with a half-life of 43 h. Treatment of guinea pigs with equimolar (145 mu mol/kg) amounts of HI-6 (55 mg/kg) or 2-PAM (25 mg/kg) in combination with atropine (16 mg/kg) i.m. 1 min after VR exposure produced protective ratios of 43.9 for HI-6 and 6.5 for 2-PAM. Carbamate pretreatment prior to these oxime/atropine treatments caused no increase in their protective ratios against VR. These observations suggest that VR is a highly toxic anticholinesterase agent that can be effectively treated with an appropriate oxime/atropine regimen.

AB The mechanism of action of the alkylating agent bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide (sulfur mustard, HD) was studied in an in vitro cell culture model. Exposure of mouse neuroblastoma-rat glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells in culture to 0.3 mM HD increased isotopically labeled arachidonic acid [H-3-AA] release from cellular membranes and decreased membrane fluidity. Both changes occurred before any appreciable cell viability loss occurred. Membrane fluidity was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy using 12-doxyl stearic acid as the spin probe. A regression analysis of the relationship between HD-induced AA release and membrane fluidity decrease showed a linear correlation (r(2) = 0.99) indicating that the membrane fluidity decrease was associated with AA release. These results support a proposed calcium-mediated cytotoxic mechanism of HD via AA release and membrane fluidity decrease.

AB This report describes three lines of organophosphorus (OF) nerve-agent anticonvulsant studies: (a) a basic research effort to understand how different pharmacological classes of compounds influence the expression of seizure produced by soman in rats, (b) a drug-screening effort to determine whether clinically useful antiepileptic drugs can modulate soman-induced seizures in rats, and (c) an advanced testing effort in which anticholinergic compounds are evaluated in comparison to the current anticonvulsant treatment (i.e., diazepam) in guinea pigs. Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings were used in all studies. Basic studies were conducted in rats pretreated with HI-6 and challenged with 1.6 x the median lethal dose (LD(50)) soman. Antimuscarinic compounds were extremely effective in blocking (pretreatment) or terminating soman seizures when given 5 min after seizure onset; however, significantly higher doses were required when treatment was delayed >10 min, and some antimuscarinic compounds lost anticonvulsant efficacy when treatment was delayed 40 min. Diazepam blocked seizure onset, yet seizures could recur after an initial period of anticonvulsant effect at doses less than or equal to 2.5 mg/kg. Diazepam could terminate ongoing seizures when given 5 min after seizure onset, but doses up to 20 mg/kg were ineffective when treatment was delayed for 40 min. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake inhibitor tiagabine was ineffective in blocking or terminating soman motor convulsions or seizures. The glutamate receptor antagonists NBQX, GYKI 52466, and memantine had weak or minimal antiseizure activity, even at doses that virtually eliminated signs of motor convulsions. The antinicotinic mecamylamine was ineffective in blocking or stopping seizure activity. Pretreatment with a narrow range of doses of the alpha-2-adrenergic agonist clonidine produced variable protection (40-60%) against seizure onset; treatment after seizure onset with clonidine was not effective. Screening studies in rats, using HI-6 pretreatment, showed that the clinically effective antiepileptic drugs pentobarbital and valproic acid were modestly effective in terminating seizures when given shortly (5 min) after seizure onset. in contrast, phenytoin, carbamazepine, felbamate, magnesium sulfate, ketamine, primidone, and lamotrigine were ineffective. Advanced studies of eight anticholinergic drugs compared with diazepam anticonvulsant therapy were performed in guinea pigs pretreated with pyridostigmine, challenged with soman (2 x LD(50)), and immediately treated with 2-PAM Cl and atropine. The rank of potency for diazepam and eight antimuscarinic compounds, when administered 5 min after seizure onset (scopolamine, biperiden, benactyzine, trihexyphenidyl, azaprophen, procyclidine, aprophen, diazepam, atropine), closely resembles that obtained from the rat model.

AB The TURNS Navier-Stokes analysis was applied in hover to the Black Hawk and 3-to-1 tapered-tip model rotors to evaluate its ability for hover performance prediction, This analysis utilizes a low-dissipative third-order accurate upwinded scheme and a blade-to-blade periodic grid to capture the rotor wake, Calculations were made for two rotors over a wide range of thrust coefficients, The elastic twist and coning measured by experiment were included in the model, Comparisons with experimental torque and Figure of Merit were made, and the flowfield was examined in detail, The correlation with experimental Figure of Merit, using meshes with 380,000 to 950,000 grid points, was considered to be fair for design purposes, The discrepancies with experimental performance data are believed to be due to an inaccurate prediction of the tip-vortex position and strength, resulting in poor loading predictions over the outer span of the blade, The finest grid calculations improved the results, indicating that the results may be improved by more grid refinement and improved meshing, Continued research in the area of grid adaptation and higher-order schemes is necessary to improve the resolution of the tip vortex for the hovering rotor.

SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY

ID HEXAFLUOROARSENATE; ELECTROLYTES; ASSOCIATION
AB In order to determine the solution propertes of Lithium tris(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) methide (LiMe) in water and the aprotic solvents acetonitrile (AN), propylene carbonate (PC), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and nitromethane (MeNO(2)), conductance measurements have been carried out at 25 degrees C. Molar conductivities at infinite dilution (Lambda degrees) and ion pair association constants (K-a) were obtained analyzing the experimental data with the Fuoss-Hsia conductance equation using the expansion of Fernandez-Prini and Justice with and without inclusion of the Chen effect. The results show that according to the ability of the solvents to solvate lithium ion, ion-pair formation is small or nonexistent in solvents with high donor number (water, PC, DMF, and AN) but fairly moderate (K-a=30) in nitromethane. Single-ion molar conductivities at infinite dilution for ClO4-, AsF6-, PF6-, CF3SO3-, N(CF3SO2)(-) and C(CF3SO2)(3)(-) anions, obtained by combining our results with literature data, decrease as expected as the ionic radius increases, and with one exception are always greater than that of the lithium ion. This general trend does not, however, apply in water where the limiting ionic conductance of the lithium cation is greater than that of the methide anion. This anomalous behavior is attributed to significant solvation of the methide ion in water. Voltammetric measurements indicate high electrochemical stability of methide anion. Such anodic stability and the increase in the transference number of lithium ion in LiMe solutions strongly support the use of this electrolyte in high energy, high voltage lithium batteries.

SO JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

DT Article
DE maturity metric; subsystem reliability; accelerated testing,; maximum
   likelihood estimators; test duration; failure mode rate of occurrence
AB Prior to system integration testing, assemblies and subsystems are frequently subjected to tests that seek to surface failure modes associated with a specified set of environmental conditions. The induced environmental stresses are often elevated above normal usage levels to shorten the test duration necessary to surface the failure modes. One natural question that arises is how long should the unit under test be subjected to the environmental conditions. Once we have surfaced a sufficient set of failure modes, our resources should be redirected toward eliminating the surfaced modes and toward resting additional assembly (or subsystem)/environment combinations of interest. In this paper, we propose a metric for use in deciding when sufficient testing has been accomplished for a complex assembly or subsystem in a specified environment. The proposed metric utilizes the first occurrence times of the observed problem failure modes. We propose a related metric for the discrete case where test duration is measured in terms of trials or duty cycles.

AB Introduction: The effect of resuscitation status on the use of laboratory and radiologic studies was analyzed in patients at the Waiter Reed Army Medical Center's Surgical Intensive Care Unit.
   Methods: A retrospective assessment of laboratory and radiologic charges incurred during the last 48 hours of life by 81 patients who died in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit between 1990 and 1992 was performed. Data were analyzed after separation by patient's resuscitation status. Each patient was assigned a resuscitation category: no limitation, do not resuscitate (no CPR in event of arrest), or limited therapy (specific order limiting care or monitoring).
   Results: There were 4,095 laboratory tests performed for a total charge of $191,247. Arterial blood gas testing accounted for over $75,000 of these charges. Resuscitation status significantly affected test frequency.
   Conclusions: During the last 48 hours of life in an intensive care unit, the use of laboratory tests and radiologic exams has a substantial effect on the cost of care and is modified by the patient's resuscitation status.

AB The NASA Lewis Low-Speed Centrifugal Compressor (LSCC) has been investigated with laser anemometry and computational analysis at two pow conditions: the design condition as well as a lower mass flow condition. Previously I reported experimental and computational results at the design condition ni are in the literature (Hathaway et al., 1993). In that paper extensive analysis showed that inducer blade boundary layers are centrifuged outward and entrained into the tip clearance pow and hence contribute significantly to the throughflow wake. In this report results are presented for a lower mass flow condition along with further results from the design case. The data set contained herein consists of three-dimensional laser velocimeter results upstream, inside, and downstream of the impeller. In many locations data have been obtained in the blade and endwall boundary layers. The data are presented in the form of throughflow velocity contours as well as secondary flow vectors. The results reported herein illustrate the effects of flow rate on the development of the throughflow momentum wake as well as on the secondary flow. The computational results presented confirm the ability of modem computational tools to model the complex flow in a subsonic centrifugal compressor accurately. However, the blade rip shape and tip clearance must be known in order to properly simulate the flow physics. In addition, the ability to predict changes in the throughflow wake, which is largely fed by the tip clearance pow, as the impeller is throttled should give designers much better confidence in using computational tools to improve impeller performance.

AB We study the effect of near dipole-dipole interactions on the electric susceptibility of a coherently prepared collection of three-level atoms in the Lambda-configuration, In particular, we discuss two optical switching mechanisms and mention possible interesting applications. Finally, we use an optimal control technique to optimize the desired atomic response in, e.g., piezophotonic and magnetophotonic switching.

TI Tendon repair by laser welding: A histologic and biomechanical

ID CARBON-DIOXIDE LASER; ALBUMIN; SOLDER
AB Background and Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether welding of tendinous tissue is possible with the application of thermal lasers,
   Study Design Materials and Methods: After sharp transection of a unilateral achilles tendon, 40 male outbred Spraque Dawley rats were divided equally between four treatment groups, Ten animals underwent repair using the modified Kessler suture technique, The remaining animals underwent application of laser after the tendon edges were reapproximated and held in place with a vascular clamp, CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers were applied using 25% human albumin as a solder, Fluorescein dye was added to albumin and used as solder for the Argon laser, Biomechanical and histologic testing were performed immediately and 14 days postoperatively.
   Results: Argon and CO2 lasers successfully fused the tendon ends together. However, immediately postoperative, the resultant tissue weld was tenuous and conventional tensile strength testing was not possible. At 14 days postoperatively, all modes of tendon repair resulted in tensile failure at consistently lower levels of tension than those required for the normal uninjured tendons. The ultimate tensile strength for the suture-repaired, CO2 laser welded, and Argon laser welded tendons were 74%, 59%, and 64% of the strength of the control tendons respectively, No statistically significant difference was found in the tensile strength among the three repair groups. Histologic evaluation at 14 days revealed the greatest degree of inflammatory response in those tendons repaired with the Argon laser, Those tendons repaired with suture demonstrated the least amount of inflammatory change.
   Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that welding of a tendon is possible with the application of laser energy. However, we were unable to produce a weld sufficient to withstand significant tensile loads in the immediate postoperative period. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

TI Effects of substitution site on acetyl amylose biodegradability by
   amylase enzymes
SO MACROMOLECULES
LA English
DT Article
ID TAKA-AMYLASE; CELLULOSE-ACETATE
AB The site-selective syntheses of water soluble (6-O)- and (2-O/3-O)-acetyl amylose polymers (substituted at primary and secondary hydroxyl functionalities, respectively) were carried out. On the basis of H-1 NMR analyses regiospecificities of >95% were achieved. In addition, routine chemical methods which did not employ protection-deproteetion steps provided water soluble (2-O/3-O/6-O)-acetyl amylose polymers. To maintain water solubility, the polymer degree of substitution (ds) was maintained at <0.70. The biodegradation characteristics of these products as a function of site and ds were studied by exposures to the a-amylases from Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Aspergillus oryzae. Quantitation of the biodegradation rate and percent were carried out using the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) reducing sugar assay. Common to all three alpha-amylases was that these enzymes degraded (2-O/3-O)-acetyl amylose polymers much more rapidly and to greater extents than (6-O)-acetyl amylose derivatives of similar ds's and molecular weights (M(v)). The rate of and percent degradation of (2-O/3-O/6-O)-acetyl amylose polymers was intermediate to that of(2-O/3-O)- and (6-O)-acetyl amylose polymers. Thus, the importance of site of substitution on the biodegradability of acetyl amylose polymers was demonstrated. Interestingly, when low ds (similar to 0.20) acetyl amylose polymers were exposed to the exoglycosidase from sweet potatoes (beta-amylase), Little to no polymer degradation was observed. This is believed to result from the rapid formation of substituted chain ends that are not degraded by the beta-amylase, thus terminating further chain degradation events.

AB Over the past several years, there has been a growing interest in improving the safety of pushtowing operations on the U.S. inland waterways. This is the result of several very serious marine accidents in which there has been loss of life. One of the areas of concern has been the training, certification, and licensing of towboat pilots. Historically, tow pilots have been trained ''on-the-job.'' However, some towing companies have recently expressed an interest in simulator training. Several simulator facilities now offer or will soon offer such training.
   Simulating the navigation conditions of the inland rivers requires accurate modeling of the river surface currents to produce realistic training conditions. Because river conditions change dramatically with now rates, a range of river conditions must be modeled. Currents calculated by models developed for navigation channel design have been verified for such studies. These models have been made available to training facilities and are reported to have provided acceptable training exercise areas. Most simulation training to date has focused on ships. The maneuvering requirements and capabilities for tows is quite different and requires different vessel models and training scenarios. Tow models used for design have also been used recently in training.
   This paper will explore the use of these databases for training. The validation and acceptance of training using these models will be described, and any problems in using the models will be presented. Since the conditions of the river systems are subject to change, either due to natural changes or due to modifications by man, the problem of keeping the training program current (particularly in light of engineering changes that are made to the navigation channels to improve ''difficult or dangerous'' conditions) will be addressed as well as other possible future challenges.

AB Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) receivers use satellite transmissions to determine their location. Data recorded from receivers mounted near the bow and stem of a vessel can produce ship track plots. These plots, coupled with a log of pilot commands, provide marine simulators with the opportunity to compare simulator results with actual prototype transits. The pilot's commands can be input during a simulation run and the resulting track plot compared with the prototype. Or, results from a piloted simulation can be compared with the DGPS survey to see if the pilot used the same techniques on the simulator as they do in real life. Analysis of the DGPS survey results suggest DGPS can be an effective tool to assist during simulation model validation.

AB An in-situ formed nano-composite consisting of silicon nitride and amorphous silicon oxynitride has been developed using conventional ceramic processing techniques. The phases present have been identified using x-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The chemical composition has been determined using quantitative chemical analysis. The microstructure has been characterized using TEM. Results have shown a material having 300 nm sized grains of silicon nitride surrounded by 20-50 nm grains of silicon nitride and amorphous silicon oxynitride. The material has a low bulk density of (2.6 g/cc), a Vickers Hardness of 1165 Kg/mm(2) and a modulus of rupture of 200 MPa with an elastic modulus of 150 GPa. The fracture toughness is 1.5 MPa m(1/2). Based on the fracture analysis, it is expected that the strength can be improved substantially. The material has a thermal expansion less than 2 x 10(-6)/degrees C and a dielectric constant of 4.8 at room temperature.

AB A 32-channel system has been designed and built to process large-format Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. Eight Vander Lugt optical correlators operate in parallel, controlled by a single-board VME computer. The full-size images are divided into subscenes to match the processors' SLMs and compared to a stored filter bank. Each correlator incorporates two LCDs, four diffractive optical elements, a large CCD sensor, and a DSP based neural network post-processor. Custom drive electronics drive the LCDs at 60 Hz and double their normal operating resolution. The system is self-calibrating and automatically adjusts for a failure in any of the 8 processors. This paper will present a system level overview and discussion of each of the major sub-systems.

DE MACE; composite filters; coupled modulation
AB A major concern in high speed, aided target recognition is getting enough information through the system, in the shortest possible time, to cover the desired targets while maintaining good target detection performance. With composite filter techniques, one can design a filter to respond over a range of scale and orientation for one target, and therefore, reduce the time required for a complete filter search. A variety of compositing techniques have been discussed on many occasions, and all have advantages and disadvantages. With available spatial light modulator technology, one must implement composite filters on devices with limited modulation states. Juday and others have proposed techniques for mapping desired filter functions onto these devices. This paper will present a filter generation methodology which combines Juday's mapping method with the MACE algorithm for generating composite filters.

DE Gettysburg; civil war; simulation; Janus; history
AB Utilizing Janus (A), we analyzed the decision made by LTG Richard Dwell at Gettysburg, PA on the evening of 1 July, 1863. At this time, LTG Ewell decided not to attack Gulp's Hill. Instead, he waited until the next morning to attack, to permit the mustering of both artillery support and his third division, under command of MG Johnson. Many historians contend that this was a poor tactical decision and was a direct cause of the confederate loss at Gettysburg and possibly the war. We have investigated this issue using a combat simulation model called Janus (Army).
   Prerequisite to the simulation, systems and weapons of the time had to be modeled in the Janus database. To keep this relatively manageable, we decided to model only the most significant system types on each side. These included the Confederate and Yankee soldier armed with a bayonet and a non-repeating rifle; the cannoneer and cannon (12 Ib ball and cannister-shot) on each side. In total, the simulation represented nearly 200,000 systems engaged at Gettysburg.
   Our study employed a two level, two factor experimental design. The two factors were the presence of the corp's artillery and Johnson's division. Both factors were relevant to the decision to delay the confederate attack. The levels corresponded with whether or not each factor was used in the simulation. In all, we conducted three replications of the following four design points (tactical alternatives) from which to base our conclusions:
   Design Point 1 (B): Situation on 1 Jul 1863 (no change). Ewell's Corps attacks. Design Point 2 (B+A): Corps Artillery supports the attack. Design Point 3 (B+J): MG Johnson's Division participates in attack. Design Point 4 (B+A+J): Corps Artillery supports and MG Johnson's Division participates in attack.
   We conclude that LTG Ewell made the correct tactical decision. Without either his corps artillery or Johnson's Division, the corps would have faced annihilation should he have attacked on 1 July. Had he had his corps artillery (6 guns), he probably should have pushed aggressively up the hill. If he had only Johnson's division, he probably could have taken the hill but could not have held it as a tenable position for very long.

   sight on terrain
AB Studies of land combat processes usually deal with interactions between combatants on (and above) specified terrain. When this involves modeling through computer simulation (or even tracking units in a field test over actual terrain), the terrain is usually represented as a digital terrain map for computational purposes. With a digital terrain map, the terrain surface is represented as a simple surface (often a step function) over a two-dimensional domain covered by a tesselation of squares or hexagons. As the size of the underlying units (let us assume squares) in the domain is reduced, the resolution of the map increases, but the computational cost of preparing, storing and using the map increases exponentially. Thus, there is a question of how high the resolution needs to be for a given application. We study this question from the point of view of accuracy of intervisibility calculations as a function of terrain resolution.
   The approach involves computation of theoretical total intervisibility with varying levels of terrain resolution over simple ''pseudo terrains'' having assumed mathematical forms. It is found that intervisibility approximations based on digital terrain rapidly approach the theoretical limiting intervisibility as resolution is increased. Relationships between intervisibility surfaces and current military doctrine concerning location of defending forces at the ''military crest'' are discussed.

AB This paper describes the concept and approach toward the development of a prototype system designed to improve the efficiency and timeliness of creating Janus combat model scenarios that are based upon historical rotations conducted at the National Training Center (NTC). The SEAS project synergistically applies current leading edge technology and ideas which allow the investigation and understanding of the multimedia sources of data collected at the NTC. With the SEAS tools, an analyst or any user can create a Janus scenario that will accurately represent the actions occurring at the NTC. With a scenario of a unit's actual rotation, commanders can conduct extensive pre and post rotation training and investigate 'what if' excursions that are based upon alternate enemy courses of action. SEAS will assist in maintaining a high quality of training in units by providing an added dimension to a commander's training capabilities.

AB The problem of deploying units against an opposing force is of particular importance to ground commanders. Currently, Army tactical staffs do not have a method to minimize the ratio of force. Force ratio is calculated during the G3's (division or corps operations officer) estimate of the situation. We present a simple heuristic for tactically positioning units in a way which minimizes the sum of resulting force ratios. As part of the military planning process, staffs analyze different dispositions of friendly forces proposed as courses of action. Neither the staff nor the commander can determine whether a proposed course of action is one which minimizes the ratio of resulting force. This problem requires sophisticated mathematics and lots of time to find the best solution. However, often times, an approximate solution that can be obtained quickly will do. We present a simple and quick method which obtains a very good, approximate solution to the force ratio problem. The ground commander could then consider an option which incorporates the critical decision criterion of force ratio. Further, with this course of action as the force ratio standard, the commander and his staff could identify potentially critical flaws in defense planning.

AB Weapon acquisition is a very expensive process, especially in today's cost reduction environment. Techniques must be used to conduct operational testing using a minimum of resources while not sacrificing the adequacy and credibility of the test. A coordinated use of a combat simulation and a design of experiment procedure, the Taguchi method, shows promise as an acquisition strategy.
   This research focused on the Javelin medium antitank system which just completed operational testing in the Fall of 1993 and was intended to give the Javelin Project Manager's office information regarding the probable outcome of critical design characteristics prior to the test. Using the Taguchi method, many different design parameters were analysed at several different levels of performance. The method reduced the number of trials required to obtain a desired level of statistical significance while still obtaining the necessary data for each parameter. Once the required number of trials were identified, the janus combat model simulated the operational test trials.
   Results suggest what weapon parameters are critical to the specific measures of effectiveness of survivability, lethality, and engagement range. In a broader view, this tandem use of an experimental design technique and a combat simulation can provide acquisition managers with insights on critical system parameters prior to actual testing.

AB As a result of reduced budgets and personnel levels, the Department of Defense has increased reliance on combat simulations for such diverse areas as training, testing, planning, and analysis. Each area has its own set of needs, goals, and objectives for designing future generations of combat simulation models. However, budget constraints alone mandate the development of multiple-use combat models. The bottom line is that future generations of combat models need to be faster, have higher fidelity and larger scale than current models. Research into emerging technologies for approaches to make computer simulations more effective and efficient is an essential ingredient to developing successful future generations of combat models. One emerging technology that has such potential is Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Potential applications of ANN to combat simulation modeling are discussed. The main results of the author's dissertation Artificial Neural Network Metamodels of Stochastic Computer Simulations [1] are discussed along with the ramifications on combat modeling and recommendations for future research.

AB The dissemination of dengue (DEN) 3 virus in parenterally infected female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes was studied immunocytochemically. Antigen was first detected in fat body cells near the thoracic site of virus inoculation. The intussuscepted foregut, salivary glands and nervous tissue were the first major tissues infected. Nervous tissue appeared to be the primary site of amplification. Muscles, tracheae, Malphigian tubules and the posterior midgut did not become infected. The only part of the reproductive system to be infected was the calyx (71% of specimens 16-22 days post-infection) consistent with low rates of vertical transmission. After 7 days post-inoculation the salivary glands of 100% of the specimens examined were infected. Virus dissemination was slow and the most common sequence of infection following intrathoracic inoculation was as follows: thoracic fat body, intussuscepted foregut, salivary glands, cardial epithelium, thoracic ganglion, brain, compound eye, anterior midgut, intermediate midgut/anterior abdominal ganglia, and calyx/hindgut/posterior abdominal ganglia, Fat body and intussuscepted foregut tissues lost infections after 16 days post-inoculation.

AB A series of 17-substituted-3-hydroxy- or 3-alkoxy- analogs of dextromethorphan [(+)-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan] was prepared and evaluated for their binding affinities at sigma(1), sigma(2), and PCP sites on the NMDA receptor channel, in rat brain. The most potent and sigma(1)-selective compound was 3-ethoxy-17-benzylmorphinan (3e; K-i = 8.0 nM) that was >130 fold selective over sigma(2) sites and >5000-fold less potent at PCP sites. All of the compounds demonstrated low affinity at sigma(2) sites (K-i range of similar to 0.5 --> 10 mu M) and at PCP sites (K-i range of similar to 0.5 - 98 mu M). These compounds may provide useful tools for elucidation of the functional role of sigma(1) receptors in the central nervous system.

AB The conflict between the individual and society is an essential theme in Spanish literature of the eighteenth century, a period that marked the end of the ancien regime and the beginnings of modem Spain. While it is clearly misleading to read literary works as undistorted reflections of their social context, the ways in which eighteenth-century literature deals with the conflict between individual and society can help us to understand the social climate of that transitional period-specifically, which norms society expected the individual to uphold and which ones it allowed him or her to transgress.

AB The Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) Space & Terrestrial Communications Directorate (S&TCD) is conducting a multi-year airborne communications range extension program, primarily in support of the Battlefield Information Transmission System (BITS) initiative. The main objective of this program is to provide beyond line of sight communications (BLOS) capabilities within an area of operations under direct control of the theater commander without using scarce satellite resources. The S&TCD effort includes the planning and implementation of a series of demonstrations and Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs) compatible with overall BITS schedules and goals.
   It is planned to use UAVs as platforms for a High Capacity Trunk Radio (HCTR) relay, and a UAV based Battlefield Broadcast System. Future applications are expected to include an airborne Personal Communications System (PCS).
   The range of coverage provided by practical airborne platforms, a function of altitude and the elevation or look angle of the transmitters or receivers, can vary from 50 to 100 miles for UAVs of interest.
   The platform payload for all applications will be bent-pipe, non-processing, block conversion type transponders with provisions for cross-banding. All antennas are to be wide beam, at least 165 degrees in elevation and 360 degrees in azimuth with the potential for implementing shaped beam or tracking antennas.
   To be effectively applied, airborne relays using UAVs must maintain compatibility with the existing and planned terrestrial and space communications infrastructures. The UAV airborne relay described will not only provide range extension for theater communications, but will also allow new services including wideband communications-on-the-move.

AB The demand for integrated digital voice, video and data communications is drawing the capabilities of circuit-switched and packet-switched technologies together. It is likely that by the middle of the next decade, commercially available services designed around both will be available. With ATM as the choice for Global Grid, an issue is how to provide seamless full-capability communications down through Brigade to the individual tactical platform on-the-move. The forward area battlefield operational environment is sufficiently different that an examination of its demands on communications is warranted.
   This paper reports on such an effort, which - starting with the tactical communication services desired - proceeded through the identification of traffic loads to bound the relevant basic candidate technologies among those projected for the next decade. Both connection oriented alternatives, such as cellular services, and connectionless alternatives, such as fast-packet radio, were then examined. Seven candidate architectures which appear to satisfy the operational constraints were proposed, and high-level descriptions of potential protocols and concepts of operations were provided for each. Detailed evaluation of capabilities and performance is being undertaken as a follow-on effort.

AB The functional capabilities of a Radio Access Point (RAP) demonstrated in a live proof of concept field demonstration are described. An overview of the RAP architecture is first given along with a description of the demonstration setup, which included a mobile vehicle and two RAPS, one in a HMMWV(1) and another in the laboratory. Both voice and video ISDN service were demonstrated from the mobile platform in stationary position and while On The Move (OTM). Among the services demonstrated were 4-way audio teleconferencing, video teleconferencing and whiteboarding, and video collection and transmission. Finally, future design enhancements are discussed. We believe this demonstration war the first to show switched wireless mobile multimedia user services and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services carried over a wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) backbone network.

AB The US Army CECOM Radio Access Point (RAP) is a HMMWV mounted assemblage of transmission and switching equipment that supports voice, data, and video users in the brigade and forward area. It provides both local switching and network access to the ATM backbone, as well as direct support for users on the move. The RAP will support all of the Army 21 requirements for both user and network mobility, network survivability, and security with the RAP itself on the move. The paper opens with a detailed presentation of the RAP functional and operational requirements. The paper then presents a discussion of the high level design of the RAP, including the ATM access to the Amy backbone, RAP to RAP communication provided by the ATM, and finally the interconnection of the N-ISDN to the ATM network to provide access to the ATM network as well as to support radio based network access. The design also includes an interconnection of classic Internet Protocol (IP) gateway to support the IP user population including (but not limited to) those of the Army's Tactical Internet.

AB The Army is currently exploiting commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and technology in its effort to develop a communication system to disseminate wideband data and video to field commanders and the warfighter. The communications scenario being used in this effort is Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), which employs COTS components. The Army is interested in the expansion of coverage from the Continental United Stares (CONUS) to global in order to develop a Global Broadcast Service (GBS) via Satellite Communications (SATCOM). The most recent technology demonstration completed by the Space Technology Branch to date, Joint Warfighter Interoperability Demonstration 1995 (JWID-95), utilized geosynchronous satellites with CONUS coverage plus Hawaii and the Caribbean Islands. A central uplink was located at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC that included all data management and broadcast management facilities. A Ku-band transponder was used to pass 23 Mbps of information for 3 video channels and 5 data channels (ATM and non-ATM data).
   The system has performed well and feedback to date has been highly favorable. In order to develop a fieldable system which will meet the user's requirements, a number of issues are being explored. Issues include acquiring adequate payload resources (satellite, UAV airborne relay, etc.) in the region of interest with access on demand, investigating equipment configuration options for use in a tactical environment data security considerations (COMSEC, INFOSEC, cryptos, KEYMAT etc.), establishing a return link, development of an on-the-move capability and expanding the coverage into worldwide or near worldwide.

AB The world is entering an age where knowledge, technology, and economic wealth often coalesce to form information power bases. In fact, information is becoming a new center of gravity - a strategic asset, inviting attack and requiring protection. In the past, warfare has been described in four operational environments: air, land, sea, and space. Now, information is recognized as the fifth operational environment, and information dominance across the spectrum of conflict is crucial to military success.
   The conflicts in Southwest Asia, Somalia, Bosnia and Haiti have shown that information technology has significantly altered traditional concepts for military operations. That same technology is improving our situational awareness on a global scale and augmenting our ability to generate military options before crises erupt. Once military force becomes necessary, information technology provides numerous options for prosecuting the conflict.
   In recognition of the importance of information technology, the military has commenced an effort to define its information architectures. The purpose of having architectures is to document complex, structural artifacts associated with enterprise elements. The Army Enterprise Strategy in compliance with DoD directives define three architectures, technical, operational, and system, for the military. Architectures are developed or updated using various techniques, which is performed following a strategic plan. DoD directives mandate the use of IDEF to assist in defining various aspects of military architectures. When constructed properly, IDEF0, IDEF1X, and IDEF3 models can be complementary to software engineering paradigms such as developing information systems.

AB The personal radio communication industry has spawned much research into propagation phenomena in the 1 to 3 GHz frequency spectrum, and has provided technological advances that create opportunities for military communications to capitalize on the use of these higher frequencies for tactical communications. However, the interests of the civilian personal communication industry have focused upon propagation path configurations that can be considered ''high-low'' that is, paths in which one end is close to the ground (an individual user) and the other end is al a higher elevation and utilizes an antenna support structure such as a tower or a building, an aircraft, or an orbital satellite. Tactical military communication, on the other hand, usually employs ''low-low'' path configurations-paths between individual soldiers where the antenna heights at both ends of each link will be 1.5 meters above the ground or less. In addition, most of the recent propagation research that has been sponsored in the I to 3 GHz frequency spectrum has centered on propagation phenomena in urban settings to support military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) and the development of personal communication systems. There is a dearth of empirical propagation data in this region of the frequency spectrum that is applicable to tactical military operations.
   The difference in geometry of a ''high-low'' and a ''low-low'' path is rather obvious, but what is not so obvious is the difference in propagation phenomena, especially fading characteristics, of the two types of paths. A ''high-low'' path in an urban area is usually characterized by what is called ''Rayleigh'' propagation in which there is no direct line-of-sight (LOS), i.e., optical path, and all of the energy from radio transmitter to receiver is by forward scatter and reflections. A ''low-low'' path between two soldiers is usually via a direct LOS propagation path, but with insufficient terrain clearance to support what is called ''Gaussian'' propagation. This path is called ''Rician.''
   This paper reviews Rayleigh, Gaussian, and Rician propagation phenomena; describes the different factors that are associated with each of these three types of propagation, and discusses the research and experimental work that is needed to enable more accurate prediction of Rician propagation loss and expected fading under different environmental (terrain, foliage, weather, etc) conditions.

AB Expenditures on family dental care by U.S. active duty soldiers were explored in this 1992 worldwide survey. Of 9,550 respondents (62% response rate), 7,187 claimed dependents and 5,569 provided reliable data. Mean annual expenditures and multinomial regression on a distribution of expenditures were calculated. Results show average family dental care expenditures were as follows: total sample, $135; childless couples, $59; couples with children, $154; and single parents, $120. Between 72 and 83% of families spent 80 on dental care. Excluding non-spenders, overall expenditures averaged as follows: total sample, $531; childless couples, $354; couples with children, $560; and single parents, $470. Regression results show that expenditures on family dental care by soldiers are influenced by different factors depending on family composition. Policy measures to encourage optimal dental care by families of active duty soldiers should focus on increasing insurance coverage and use.

AB The end of the Cold War and the fall of Communism in Europe resulted in profound changes in U.S. defense policy. Those changes led to dramatic reductions in personnel and programs within the Army. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) is also being reduced in size and reorganized. At the same time, the AMEDD is facing escalating health care costs associated with demand and access to medical care. Social work services in Army medical treatment facilities are being directly affected by these system changes. Therefore, the question is raised whether changes in the organization and delivery of social work services are being initiated or anticipated, To what extent are social work chiefs of service involved in these decisions at the medical treatment facility level, and what are the positive and negative effects of reorganization on social work staff and the clients they serve?

AB In this study an all-male population of 256 U.S. Anny basic trainees and 98 armor officer basic course students were surveyed concerning extent of use, knowledge of, and factors contributing to the use of smokeless tobacco (ST). The survey was administered at a dental clinic at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The data were analyzed using the SPSS computer software program, Results showed that more than 17% of this population were either occasional or regular users of ST. Nearly 24% had tried ST and more than 9% were former users, Exactly one-half had not tried ST. A typical user was white, had started ST use at age 14, had used it for 4 years, and was most likely to use snuff or dip, Higher educational level achieved was associated with increased likelihood of ST use. Nearly 22% of college graduates used ST, whereas only 15.3% of high school graduates or those with some college were users. Knowledge about the potential health effects of ST was generally high or moderately high, except for its ability to cause hypertension, This was true for both high school and college graduates, although college graduates were somewhat more informed. Few in this population had a personal attitude of approval toward ST use, and very few perceived that either their parents or their superiors in the military approved of ST use. Perceived attitude of approval was highest from friends and peers, The principle reasons for starting ST use were use by friends and curiosity about taste and effects, Influence from public figures, such as athletes, and from advertising was minimal, Enjoyment of flavor and taste was found to be the main reason for continued ST use, Health professionals were identified by the majority of respondents as the single most important information source on ST. Relatively few (27%), however, stated that their dentist or hygienist had ever discussed ST with them.

TI Reduction and mitigation of thermal injuries: What can be done?
SO MILITARY MEDICINE

DT Article
AB Soon after the introduction of the crashworthy fuel system and Nomex flight apparel, morbidity and mortality rates from thermal injuries in aviation were reduced to zero, Although the incidence of aircraft mishaps involving postcrash fires have remained the same, there has been a recent increase in thermal injury morbidity. These case reports describe three different aircraft accidents in which fire was caused by factors other than the crashworthy fuel system. They also describe sustained thermal injuries and compare them to personal protection equipment. We found that the condition of the personal protective equipment and unauthorized use of unapproved apparel were responsible for the sustained injuries, We maintain that personal protection equipment is effective if worn in the manner for which it was designed. We believe that the lessons learned apply to all military operations where the risk of fire is high, not solely aviation. A proactive program focused on education would reduce the thermal injury morbidity.

AB Among the most stressful experiences soldiers encounter during combat is exposure to dead and wounded soldiers and civilians. This article examines the early (9 months postcombat) psychological reactions of U.S. Army soldiers deployed from Germany who served in frontline combat units during the Persian Gulf War. In particular, the article focuses on stress symptoms associated with soldiers' exposure to death and wounding during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Those soldiers exposed to casualties, especially U.S. casualties, had greater distress scores as measured by the Impact of Event Scale (IES) and a tripartite measure of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptomatology modeled on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., rev. [DSM-III-R]; American Psychiatric Association, 1987) than did those without such exposure. Rank, type of casualty exposure, and current problems with coworkers and chain of command were additively related to explained variance in IES and PTS symptomatology scores. Issues in identifying soldiers most at risk for psychological distress are discussed.

AB To determine the relation between device- and tank-based gunnery performance in the U.S. Army National Guard, two groups of 29 armor crews were tested on the Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (COFT) 1 day before undergoing live-fire Table VIII evaluation. A significant (p less than or equal to .05) positive linear relation between COFT and Table Vm scores was found for Group 1 (i.e., the normative group) and confirmed for Group 2 (i.e., the cross-validation group), with the Group 1 predictive model accounting for more than half of the variance in the live-fire scores of both groups. An easy-to-use tool was then developed from pooled group data to help unit trainers accurately predict the probability of successful first-run Table VIII qualification for individual tank crews. Additional research needed to maximize the payoff from prediction tool usage is discussed.

ID LIGHT
AB A laser accident patient's parafoveal visual field defect was modeled and his performance on a tank recognition task was compared with that of a participant in the modeled scotoma condition and in two central scotoma conditions. The modeled parafoveal scotoma, and foveal and macular occluding scotomas were stabilized on the retina using a dual Purkinje Eye-Tracker and a multiplane digital image display. The simulated scotomas suppressed military target recognition functions in a manner consistent with previous studies. Neither central nor parafoveal scotomas were sufficient to reduce sensitivity to the patient's level. However, when the foveal and parafoveal scotoma functions were combined to account for the patient's macular damage, prediction for patient performance significantly improved. The data suggest that models of retinal damage from laser exposure must include not only visual field deficits but also deficits in high (visual acuity) and low spatial frequency visual function.

TI Coaching on the ASVAB: Analysis of posttest questionnaire responses
SO MILITARY PSYCHOLOGY

DT Article
ID SPATIAL TEST; PERFORMANCE
AB It is a widely held belief that specific coaching, in addition to practice, can significantly increase test scores on a number of ability and aptitude tests used in personnel research. The military community's concern about the effects of coaching and practice on the long-term predictive validity of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a product of that belief. Although several experiments tried to measure the quantifiable impact of controlled coaching and practice on various aptitude tests and self-report temperament measures, no research effort has explored the extent to which coaching actually occurs in the operational military testing environment. We suggest that coaching on the ASVAB is (a) commonly practiced by military recruiters, (b) somewhat standard procedure used to prepare applicants for taking the aptitude tests, and (c) primarily given to lower aptitude applicants in need of coaching. On the basis of these findings, coaching, as defined in this research, does not appear to threaten the long-term validity of the ASVAB.

AB Structural and thermal characterization is reported for a series of recently synthesized(1) liquid crystalline polycarbonates based on di-methyl substituted stilbene mesogen and methylene-containing flexible spacer of length n. In this work, we focus on the alpha, beta-dimethyl stilbene (DMS-n) polycarbonates and on the comparison between them and alpha-methyl stilbene (HMS-n) polycarbonates(2-4), especially those with heptane spacer. Wide angle X-ray scattering patterns show that DMS polycarbonates are able to form a nematic liquid crystalline phase. However, the liquid crystalline phase is generally not stable with respect to the crystalline phase. In the DMS polycarbonates, no distinct isotropic-to-nematic (i --> lc) transition is seen either by polarizing optical microscopy or by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We suggest that the steric effect of the second lateral substituent results in a less stable, virtual mesophase. For DMS-n, an odd-even effect is observed in the crystallization and melting temperatures for n values between four and eight. The transition temperatures associated with even parity n (n = 4,6,8) are greater than those for odd parity n (n = 5,7,9) and all transition temperatures drop when n exceeds eight. Small angle X-ray scattering studies were performed on the DMS polycarbonates to examine the structure of the crystalline phase. For n in the range from 5-8, DMS polycarbonates generally have higher values of linear crystallinity and crystal thickness than corresponding HMS polycarbonates.

DE painful legs; moving toes; accessory soleus; tarsal tunnel syndrome
ID MYOKYMIA
AB Painful legs, moving toes is a rare syndrome characterized by leg pain and uncontrolled toe movements. We present a 35-year-old man with a 1-year history of unilateral knee, calf, and medial ankle pain with spontaneous movements of second through fifth toes. Electrodiagnostic studies showed an absent lateral plantar nerve response consistent with a tarsal tunnel entrapment neuropathy. Cine magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large accessory soleus muscle compressing the flexor hallucis longus in the tarsal tunnel of the affected extremity. Lidocaine block of the tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa did not stop these movements, but blockade of the medial and lateral plantar nerves distal to the medial malleolus stopped them temporarily. Treatment with foot orthotics and cessation of running activity decreased the symptoms. We conclude that painful leg and moving toes in this patient resulted from a compression neuropathy at the tarsal tunnel possibly caused by a large adjacent accessory soleus muscle.

AB Large lakes and artificial reservoirs are important resources for providing sportfishing opportunities. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) is a significant provider of such opportunities through its system of reservoirs located throughout the United Slates. Although USCOE lakes were constructed primarily for purposes other than fishing, such as flood control, hydroelectric power production, and water supply, recreational activities including sportfishing, has emerged as a dominant use of these lakes. In 1993, more than 372 million visits were recorded at USCOE-managed lakes, and visitors spent more than US$10 billion to engage in recreation at these sites. Effective management of USCOE lakes requires evaluation of competing and changing demands. To ensure a balanced response to these demands, while meeting more stringent environmental requirements, the operation of USCOE lakes must continuously be reevaluated because of changes in land use, population patterns, and environmental laws. We discuss the dynamics of planning, development, and manage ment of large, multipurpose projects, with emphases on providing public access for sportfishing and on the roles of fisheries scientists and outdoor recreation planners in these activities.

AB Aquatic plants are desirable in reservoirs for fish habitat and for water quality benefits. Unfortunately, unvegetated turbid reservoirs may never develop an aquatic plant community because of insufficient plant propagules and inhospitable environments for establishing seedlings. Weedy exotic species such as hydrilla Hydrilla verticillata and Eurasian watermilfoil Myriophyllum spicatum may establish in reservoirs, but these are poor long-term ecosystem components that may lead to serious management and ecological problems in reservoirs. Native plants, in contrast, offer excellent habitat and water quality benefits with few management problems. We review basic ecological considerations for selecting appropriate native plant species and planting locations. Revegetation efforts are most successful when a strategy of establishing founder populations within protective exclosures at carefully selected sites is used. Once successfully established, founder populations change environmental conditions within their vicinity, making the area more hospitable to further colonization and providing propagules to other sites within the reservoir.

AB We review the published literature to investigate: (1) the functional importance of aquatic plants to fish, (2) how aquatic plant and fish populations are measured in vegetated habitats, (3) the spatial scale at which previous investigators have quantified fish-plant interactions, and (4) how proximate fish behaviors influence population structure at a macroscale. Based on results of comparative studies, the typical conclusion has been that intermediate levels of plants promote high species richness and are optimal for growth and survival of fishes. Predictable responses by fishes to aquatic plants were noted: vegetated habitats supported higher fish densities than unvegetated areas, aquatic plants led to reduced risk of predation, and structurally oriented fish exploited aquatic plant beds. Pelagic species and benthic omnivores often declined in abundance with increased plant cover, and phytophilic fishes showed rapid population increases during plant growing seasons. When plants occupied an entire water body, fish growth became stunted due to depletion of food resources. These interactions have been assessed largely at a macroscale where aquatic plants are generally mapped from aerial photography or surface measurements and fish data are averaged as standing crop, density, catch per unit effort, or percent abundance relative to plant coverage. Because direct observation of fish in dense plant beds is difficult, few attempts have been made to define and quantify structural complexity of plants at a scale perceived by fishes. We provide aquatic plant attributes potentially important to growth and survival of fishes and suggest that microscale assessment of fish behaviors can be linked to macroscale fishery management strategies through analysis of areal distribution of aquatic plants.

AB Methods of predicting effects of changes in reservoir operations and water levels on in-pool fish populations are needed for inclusion of reservoir fisheries in multipurpose evaluations of water usage. We describe three methods for relating fish reproductive success in reservoirs to hydrology; responses of young black bass (Micropterus spp.) in Bull Shoals Reservoir, Arkansas, are used as an example. Reproductive success was quantified as biomass (kg/ha) in two length-classes of young largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, sported bass M. punctulatus, and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu from 34 years of August cove rotenone samples. In the first method, we derived hydrology variables from inflow, release, volume, mean area, change in area, and selected ratios of inflow to release or release to volume from time segments ranging from one season to 2 years before fish sampling in August. This segmented-temporal approach produced 36 hydrology variables, many of which were intercorrelated. Biomass of small and intermediate length-classes of black bass were regressed on all hydrology variables in simple-linear regression and on subsets of independent hydrology variables in multiple-linear regression. Although time consuming, this approach usually provided the best-fitting and most easily interpreted predictive models. In the second method, biomass was regressed on variables derived from principal components analysis of 14 segmented-temporal variables. Four components explained 91% of the variation in hydrology variables, but only the first two components (explaining 82%) could be readily interpreted and were significant in regression models. This method was fast and avoided intercorrelations, but interpretation of third and fourth principal components was difficult, and the method did not produce the best-fit models. In the third method, we fit cosine functions to monthly discharge of the unregulated White River (1920-1949) and to end-of-month area of Bull Shoals Reservoir (1955-1993). We derived eight independent variables related to amplitude, phase, differences in the phase of the reservoir from the preproject river, and error in fit of the harmonic function to reservoir hydrology. This harmonic approach provided a good explanation of variations in surface area (r(2) = 0.84; N = 465) and in largemouth bass and spotted bass biomass; however, it did not yield predictive models that were significantly better than the principal components method. All three methods are potentially useful for quantifying effects of operations and hydrology on reservoir fish populations for multiple-use assessments of water resources.

ID TAXOL; PACLITAXEL
AB Docetaxel (Taxotere), a semisynthetic analogue of the antitumor agent paclitaxel, inhibits tubulin depolymerization. Paclitaxel produces a peripheral neuropathy. This study delineates clinically and electrophysiologically the characteristics of a peripheral neuropathy due to docetaxel. In 186 patients receiving docetaxel in phase I or phase II protocols, we performed serial neurologic exams, As patients became symptomatic, quantitative sensory testing and nerve conduction studies were done. Twenty-one patients developed mild to moderate sensory neuropathy on taxotere at a wide range of cumulative doses (50 to 750 mg/m(2)) and dose levels (10 to 115 mg/m(2)). Ten of these patients also developed weakness of varying degree in proximal and distal extremities. Nine of the 21 patients had received neurotoxic chemotherapy before; 16 were treated with docetaxel at a dose level of 100 to 115 mg/m(2). In summary, docetaxel produced a sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy in 11% of our patient population.

AB This study examined the relationships among cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) HIV-1 culture, quinolinic acid (QUIN) levels, and neurobehavioral functioning as measured by reaction time (RT) in HIV-1-infected (HIV+) individuals. Twenty HIV+ subjects completed lumbar puncture, neurological screening, magnetic resonance imaging scan, RT procedures, an estimated IQ measure, and self-reported mood state measures. Routine CSF laboratory studies, including white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count, protein, glucose; and percentage IgG were conducted. CSF was cultured for HIV-1 and assayed for QUIN. Subjects with positive HIV-1 CSF culture (CSF+) had significantly higher QUIN levels than subjects with negative HIV-1 CSF culture (CSF-), although this difference was attenuated when WBC was controlled. Controlling for age and education, MANCOVA showed that CSF+ subjects had significantly slower RTs than CSF- subjects. Controlling for WBC did not change RT findings. Logistic regression indicated that both RT and QUIN contributed to the prediction of culture group. Group differences could not be explained by demographic factors, history, neurologic status, or medical status. Findings suggest a link among ability to culture HIV-1 from CSF, elevated QUIN, and slowed RT. This link, in turn, suggests a potential HIV-1-specific biological marker associated with neurobehavioral change in HIV-1 disease. Findings may be related to subclinical brain inflammation.

AB Specially designed robot work cells combined with nondestructive testing techniques increase laboratory productivity and provide test information needed to assess environmental durability and to guide the specification, design and manufacture of composite materials. This approach enables many different specimens under a variety of accelerated aging conditions (temperature, humidity, radiant and mechanical) to be monitored and analyzed. The application of advanced computing technology and expert system software facilitate real-time monitoring, control and integration of the robot work cells; planning and scheduling tests; and automating data/knowledge acquisition and analysis. The robots automatically handle test specimens, operate equipment, and conduct tests. Some tests, such as measuring water absorption and changes in the dimensions of individual specimens, require not only a high degree of robot dexterity, but also flexibility in sequencing and integrating operations. Results of experimental studies on the durability of an epoxy resin/grass fiber reinforced composite material demonstrate the advantages of combining ''intelligent'' robotics with nondestructive techniques for measuring property changes.

AB In an effort to reduce cost and maximize the utility of each test specimen, our laboratory has incorporated several types of non-intrusive techniques for surface analysis and sample characterization. The newest and one of the most promising techniques is Computer Enhanced Photon Tunneling Microscopy. This paper describes our current Photon Tunneling Microscopy system and its use in the characterization of polymer matrix composite materials surfaces. The technique of photon tunneling microscopy was first made available commercially through a licensee of the Polaroid Corporation (Cambridge, MA) in 1992.(1) Our system was purchased in 1994 and has been used primarily to study the effects of accelerated aging on composite materials.

AB Objective: To compare the effectiveness of commercially available probe covers with less expensive condoms.
   Methods: During a 10-month period, sonographers performed endovaginal ultrasound examinations on patients by randomly testing either commercially available probe covers or condoms on the vaginal probe. After use, the sheaths were tested for damage by filling them with water to observe for leakage and thereby determine the breakage rate.
   Results: Perforations were noted in 15 of 180 probe covers and three of 180 condoms (8.3 versus 1.7%, P <.05; relative risk [RR] 5.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-18.5). Potential contamination of the endovaginal probe occurred during nine of 174 examinations and one of 178 examinations in which probe covers and condoms, respectively, were used (P <.05; RR 9.7, 95% CI 1.2-67.7).
   Conclusion: Condoms are less expensive and superior to commercially available probe covers for covering the ultrasound probe during endovaginal examinations.

AB Successfully managing the coastal zone requires careful consideration of all the components of shoreline motion. Shoreline movement is a complex phenomenon that is the result of both natural processes and man-made effects. Some of these processes occur over millennia, while others are recent and may be cyclic. Understanding changes to the shore requires both a complete understanding of the underlying processes and an ability to accurately measure the changes. Many uncertainties exist, and predictions must be approached with an understanding of potential errors. Agencies using predictions must exercise caution and be prudent in the application of predictions for management decisions. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

AB A rapidly expanding high priority coastal engineering research and development requirement is to provide prototype wave, current and tide information from the littoral coastal zone far computational modeling, experimental investigations, and project design. In the last eight years, coastal data acquisition has grown from a few self-contained systems into three major data collection efforts with a total of 25 near-real-time systems and numerous self-contained systems, To meet the demand for additional field sites, the Prototype Measurement and Analysis System (PMAS) was developed.
   An analysis of requirements determined the entity-objects and attributes necessary to complete data acquisition, storage, and reduction. An object oriented model was applied to these entity-objects resulting in a relational database whose contents are used to central each task. Sample data, sample data descriptors, sensor calibrations, analysis results, and analysis result descriptors are examples of entity-objects.

AB In-situ, long-term, water quality monitoring is necessary to determine natural ranges of environmental variables, evaluate environmental impacts resulting from coastal projects, and correlate changes in water quality as a function of coastal hydrodynamics. Existing methods for water quality monitoring are limited to short-term duration mainly due to biological fouling and/or limited life of system components. Optical instruments are the most susceptible to biological fouling. Long-term data are necessary to accurately determine natural conditions which include the impacts of seasonal variations, meteorological effects, and storm conditions. Long-term data may be compared with data collected throughout coastal operations to evaluate impacts resulting from the operations.
   A methodology for in-situ, long-term, water quality monitoring was developed based on the requirement that instrumentation be resistant to biological fouling. The design focused on instrumentation requiring optical sensors for measurement. A prototype sensor for in-situ, long-term turbidity measurement was developed implementing this methodology. Evaluation of the sensor was conducted through laboratory testing. This paper describes the methodology for in-situ long-term deployment of water quality sensors, and application of the methodology to the measurement of turbidity.

AB Continuing improvements to coastal physical oceanographic instrumentation and data collection and transfer techniques, provide a means of expanding the number of coastal, near-real-time monitored projects. The Prototype Measurement and Analysis System (PMAS) is currently being used to manage the 74 sensors, 42 on-site systems, and related data processing for the 12 projects underway and for addition of future projects. This paper describes how, utilizing PMAS, daily monitoring, quality control, and data transfer and reporting are performed. Coastal engineering parameters monitored include: wave height, period, direction, and spectra; water levels and tides; and currents. Descriptions and examples of the following data products are provided: daily status reports, near-real-time storm reports, monthly summaries, and annual climatic summaries. Possible future PMAS data products are discussed.

AB The purpose of this study was to investigate suprathreshold contrast perception in white and yellow light. The contrast of black-on-white letters was adjusted to match the perceived contrast of yellow-on-yellow letters presented simultaneously on a video display, At lower contrasts (7-15%), the apparent contrast of yellow letters was slightly enhanced compared black-on-white letters (mean enhancement = 23%), but this effect diminished with increasing contrast. The slight enhancement in yellow light was independent of letter size, and could not be explained by luminance differences between yellow and white displays. This effect may relate to the subjective improvement often reported when wearing yellow (blue-blocking) lenses.

AB We have recorded fluorescence spectra and measured fluorescence lifetimes in yttria (Y2O3) single crystals doped with only Tm3+ or Pr3+ ions or codoped with Yb3+, Tb3+ or Ho3+ ions. The crystals were grown in the form of crystal fibers by using the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique. The codoped (Yb, Tm) and (Yb, Pr) crystals were studied for their potential as upconversion laser systems. Evidence is shown of cooperative and multi-step energy transfers giving rise to very efficient visible emissions after pulsed infrared excitation. As to the codoped (Tm, Ho) and (Tm, Tb) crystals, they are studied to examine the effect of the codopants on the infrared emission properties of the Tm3+ ions. Indeed, we found a very attractive fluorescence around the eye-safe wavelength of 1.55 mu m which corresponds to a H-3(4)-->F-3(4) transition of Tm3+. This transition occurs with a large enough stimulated emission cross section to be practical for laser application, and the Tb3+ or the Ho3+ ions are introduced to reduce the problem of bottlenecking due to a lower laser state lifetime longer than that of the upper state.

AB Considerable research has already been conducted on the mechanical response of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) tendons for use in pretensioning and post-tensioning concrete structures. Th is research has been performed primarily outside of the United States and directly by tendon manufacturers. An experimental investigation was undertaken to provide a domestic evaluation of the mechanical performance of ten different aramid, glass, and carbon FRP tendons, with attention paid to the effects of the anchorage device recommended by the manufacturer The first phase of the project herein reported consisted of the verification of some tendon-specific properties, namely: ultimate strength, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate strain. If was determined that, given the limitation of the experimental program, a reasonable correlation exists with data supplied by manufacturers. In most cases, the anchorage devices permitted the tensioning to failure of the FRP tendons. Ultimate load capacity was generally controlled by the anchor rather than the tendon itself, suggesting that anchor efficiency could be improved. If was determined that heating one anchor to 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) had no detrimental effect on the tensile performance of the tendon-anchor system.

AB Desmopressin is a commonly used, well-tolerated agent for the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis and central diabetes insipidus. Intranasal desmopressin provides symptomatic relief with few serious complications. A 29-year-old woman with a long history of primary nocturnal enuresis began treatment with intranasal desmopressin. Although the enuresis ceased, she developed throbbing headaches, nausea, vomiting, paresthesia, lethargy, fatigue, and altered mental status over the next 7 days. When she came to the emergency room her sodium concentration was 127 mmol/L. The history of desmopressin use was not obtained at that time. She was treated with intravenous fluids and discharged. The symptoms returned and worsened over the next 4 days, and she returned to the emergency room stuporous. A repeat sodium was 124 mmol/L, and she was admitted. The history of desmopressin use was still not available. Medical. evaluations included computerized tomography lumbar puncture, complete blood counts, serum chemistries, and serologies. The next morning the woman was improved and informed clinicians of her desmopressin use. Without other causes for the hyponatremia, she was diagnosed with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, presumably caused by desmopressin. Within 24 hours of fluid restriction and cessation of desmopressin, her symptoms and hyponatremia resolved. A review of the literature found 11 children and 2 adults in whom intranasal desmopressin was associated with hyponatremia, all of whom experienced seizures or altered mental status. Our patient illustrates the importance of early recognition and treatment of hyponatremia before the onset of seizures. When vague symptoms develop during desmopressin therapy, hyponatremia must be considered as part of the differential diagnosis. It may also be prudent to screen for electrolyte abnormalities in patients taking this agent to prevent serious iatrogenic complications.

AB The first antibodies that behave as enzymes (abzymes) appeared in the literature almost ten years ago and in the intervening years abzymes have been made that catalyze a variety of reactions, including ester hydrolysis, carbonate hydrolysis, amide hydrolysis and aminolysis. It would be useful to have available an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphorus anticholinesterases (OPA Hydrolase). Such enzymes are ubiquitous in nature, but are generally very inefficient. One approach to the development of an improved OPA Hydrolase is to produce an abzyme with this activity, This involves the synthesis of a pentacoordinate (trigonal bipyrimid) transition state analog that is stable enough to be attached to a protein carrier and then remain in the body of an animal long enough to elicit antibodies, It is apparent that this is not a simple matter; the only elements that have pentavalent forms are in the vanadium or nitrogen families, While some of those compounds are trigonal bipyramids they are universally unstable in water, Today's challenge is to find ways to make pentacoordinate transition state analogs that can be attached to protein carriers and have a reasonable lifetime in an aqueous environment.

DE photoconductivity; spread-spectrum; time-hopped; wideband
AB We have developed a novel opto-electronic transceiver designed to provide a jam-resistant, high-security, low-power rf communications link. By employing picosecond photoconductivity and a time-hopped spread-spectrum architecture, the transceiver can realize multi-octave instantaneous rf bandwidth. The design is capable of processing gains well above those of existing spread-spectrum communications systems. Hence, significant jam resistance is achievable with a minimum of rf power. The transceiver is particularly well suited to serve as the physical layer of a packet radio system and can be packaged in a hand-held unit with Q-switched diode laser technology. We present results from an opto-electronic digital spread-spectrum data link that demonstrate some of the capabilities of this approach.

AB We have compared the predictions of hydrodynamic theory for the properties of an unsupported detonation with the results of a molecular dynamics simulation of such a phenomenon. The model of an energetic crystal consists of heteronuclear diatomic molecules that require energy to break the molecular bonds (at ambient pressure); substantial energy is then released upon association of the products to form homonuclear diatomic molecules. The equation of state used in the hydrodynamic theory is determined from two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of this model at various equilibrium conditions corresponding to volumes and temperatures appropriate to the detonation. The Chapman-Jouguet conditions of detonation were thus determined. The properties of the detonation were subsequently measured directly from two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of the crystal model subjected to shock initiation. The agreement between the hydrodynamic predictions and the measured properties is good. Deviations from exact agreement are attributed to slight differences in material composition in the detonation simulation compared to that of the equation of state calculations. The critical property for sustained detonation using this model appears to be the attainment of the Chapman-Jouguet density.

TI Molecular-dynamics study of detonation .2. The reaction mechanism
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW E

DT Article
ID HOT-SPOT FORMATION; METALLIC IODINE; HIGH-PRESSURE; DISSOCIATION; SOLIDS
AB In this work, we investigate mechanisms of chemical reactions that sustain an unsupported detonation. The chemical model of an energetic crystal used in this study consists of heteronuclear diatomic molecules that, at ambient pressure, dissociate endothermically. Subsequent association of the products to form homonuclear diatomic molecules provides the energy release that sustains the detonation. A many-body interaction is used to simulate changes in the electronic bonding as a function of local atomic environment. The consequence of the many-body interaction in this model is that the intramolecular bond is weakened with increasing density. The mechanism of the reaction for this model was extracted by investigating the details of the molecular properties in the reaction zone with two-dimensional molecular dynamics. The mechanism for the initiation of the reaction in this model is pressure-induced atomization. There was no evidence of excitation of vibrational modes to dissociative states. This particular result is directly attributable to the functional form and choice of parameters for this model, but might also have more general applicability.

AB We study theoretically vibrational properties of microtubules (MTs), which are long hollow cylindrical macromolecules with a diam. of the order of 25 nm and serve as a major component of cytoskeleton in eukariotic cells. Modeling MTs by thin elastic cylindrical shells, we derive the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of confined elastic vibrations in a shell-fluid system. Numerical calculations, based on recently obtained experimental data for Young's modulus of MT, show that MT-water system supports interface elastic waves with maximal frequencies in a gigahertz range. In a long-wavelength limit, there exist three axisymmetric acoustic waves with velocities of about 200 to 600 m/s, and an infinite set of helical waves with a parabolic dispersion law.

AB Several hydrogen related phenomena in the Si-SiO2 system are re-examined to seek improved physico-chemical models. The negative-bias-temperature instability is a starting point for discussion of diffusion, atomic hydrogen anomalies, radiation effects, passivation and depassivation, the oxidation triangle, and fixed oxide charge. It is concluded that models might be substantially improved by inclusion of new hydrogenous species, especially hydronium ions.

DE snow; friction; skis; sliding
AB Snow friction results from a mixture of processes, depending on the amount of meltwater present. With little meltwater, the surfaces are partially separated; with too much water, the contact area increases and there may be capillary attachments. Heat is generated by friction and solar radiation absorption at the interface and is conducted away by both slider and ice particles. The remaining heat is available to generate meltwater which acts as a lubricant. The important processes operate at the ski base temperature that is highly dependent on such things as snow-surface temperature, load and speed. Electrical charges are generated but are drained away quickly on most surfaces. The roughness elements, film thicknesses and contact areas must be characterized better before the basic processes can be understood further.

AB Piezoelectric elements are used in a variety of applications such as optical modulators, microactuators, and certain types of transducers and resonant sensors, where it is necessary to know the maximum amplitude obtainable. Conduction, dielectric, and viscous losses all limit the amplitude.
   We consider high frequency crystal plates in the one-dimensional approximation. By the use of a complex piezoelectric coupling coefficient incorporating all three loss mechanisms, the limiting amplitude of the fundamental mode is found. Examples are given for AT, BT, and SC quartz cuts, along with lithium niobate and lead titanate ceramic.
   The influence of electrode mass loading on amplitude is also determined, along with the magnitude of the interfacial stress. The stress levels can attain significant levels.

AB Ceramic resonators in the form of plates and cantilevers are increasingly being used to perform sensing and actuating functions, in addition to their traditional uses as frequency control and selection devices, because of their attractive attributes of low cost and high piezoelectric coupling. Very often the microelectromechanical structures (MEMS) are designed with insufficient attention to the various dissipation mechanisms involved. For piezoceramics, it frequently is unjustified to make simplistic assumptions about how the loss is to be incorporated, because the loss is generally much greater in ceramics than in substances such as quartz and refractory oxides. We consider four dissipation mechanisms that are representable in the constitutive equations, and show, through equivalent network representations, how each separately influences the resonator critical frequencies. The mechanisms are: acoustic viscosity, DC conductivity, dielectric dispersion, and piezoelectric loss. Using plate resonators as examples, we compute the frequency dependencies on the complex piezocoupling factor as functions of harmonic number for thickness field excitation. The traditional Butterworth-Van Dyke equivalent electrical circuit is extended to give a more accurate representation for ceramics, as well as for other materials with high piezoelectric coupling combined with low to moderate values of loss.

AB In this paper, the fundamental nature of acceleration sensitivity is reviewed and clarified. The driving factor behind the acceleration-induced frequency shift is shown to be the deformation of the resonator. The deformation drives two effects: an essentially linear change in the frequency determining dimensions of the resonator, and an essentially nonlinear effect of changing the velocity of the propagating wave. The basic properties of acceleration sensitivity are illustrated through the simple examples of ''BAW in a box'' and ''STW in a box''. These examples serve to clarify a number of concepts, including the role of mode shape and the basic difference between the bulk acoustic wave and acoustic surface wave cases. Finally, these basic understandings are extended to other cases such as BAW microresonators.

AB A quartz crystal resonator's resonance frequency is sensitive to temperature, and a quartz thermometer can accurately detect temperature changes of microkelvins. Making the resonator in a microscopic scale increases its temperature detectivity as well as enables a large array for an IR sensor. Incoming radiation energy of such an IR sensor needs to be absorbed in the resonator as much as possible, and this requires a different geometry of the electrodes from those of a conventional resonator; e.g., a ring electrode on the IR illumination side and a solid electrode on the other side. The geometry of these electrodes should be optimized in order to obtain a maximum energy trapping, which maximizes the value of Q and minimizes the resonator noise, resulting in maximizing the detectivity. Analytical and numerical solutions of the approximate scalar differential equation of Stevens and Tiersten describing the transverse behavior of essentially thickness modes are obtained for a rectangular resonator with a ring electrode on one side and a solid electrode on the other side. These solutions are used to study the performance of this electrode geometry and a general design is presented.

AB The frequency aging of a quartz crystal oscillator is an important characteristic of frequency stability. Aging estimation for frequency correction of a precision crystal oscillator is a valid approach in improving oscillator performance. This paper presents an estimation and prediction model in which the frequency and frequency aging are described by a family of shifted logarithmic functions. Weights of logarithmic function are estimated recursively based upon the present data inputs and the last data outputs to avoid massive data storage. Outlier points in frequency measurements are filtered using a robust estimation computation. Finally, the frequency of an oscillator is predicted based upon the best estimated weights of logarithmic functions.

AB The U.S. Army builds, operates and maintains small cities. Typically, 25% of the building stock contained within these cities is composed of residential neighborhoods for Army personnel and dependents. Traditional programming, design and construction procedures have procured low-end, housing and neighborhoods that are not energy or resource efficient. Recognizing this, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories developed the Green Neighborhood project.
   The Green Neighborhood/Cool Communities project was developed as part of the Model Energy Installation Program (MEIP) in response to the need for greater energy and environmental awareness in the planning, development and operations of family housing facilities at military installations.
   A collaborative design process under the direction of a multi-disciplinary team focused on life-cycle costs, the reduction of negative environmental impacts, energy conservation and quality of life improvements in military family housing. Results indicate that the integrated design approach yields maximum building energy and resource efficiency at competitive costs.

AB Rationalizing the exclusion of green building practices has generally revolved around the perception that 'green' means increased costs. Past economic assessments have concentrated on low end construction practices compared with state of the art ''green'' building practices disregarding planning, developmental and ancillary costs. This paper attempts to quantify the real costs involved in developing a 'Green Neighborhood' in terms of first costs, landscaping, and incorporating the basic tenets of the Cool communities initiative to help reduce energy consumption and long-term environmental impacts, while enhancing general duality of life standards.
   Costs related to the design and construction of a typical Army family housing neighborhood proposal are evaluated against a prototypical green neighborhood design proposal. The hypothesis that new methods of environmentally sustainable design and construction techniques will markedly increase the first cost of constructing family housing is rejected.

AB Numerous enabling technologies are being embodied into a single system to develop a new and unique nondestructive high-frequency, high-resolution ultrasonic pulse-echo (UPE) technology for assessing the condition of concrete bridge decks. There are no commercial UPE systems available in the world for assessing the condition of concrete. The US. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station is developing a UPE field device to evaluate concrete bridge decks for delaminations. The system has been named the SUPERSCANNER, the acronym for Scanned Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo Results for Site-Characterization of Concrete Using Artificial Neural Networks and Expert Reasoning. The SUPERSCANNER is composed of a number of technological features. Currently, the only standard method of detecting delaminations is the chain drag (ASTM Standard D 4580, ''Standard Practice for Measuring Delaminations in Concrete Bridge Decks by Sounding''). Significant progress has been made in the development of the SUPERSCANNER, and the field system is scheduled to be commercial in 1997.

AB Seven reaches of the lower Pearl River system were sampled with bottom set gill nets from 1992 through 1995. One hundred fifty-eight Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) were captured in 3 reaches. Mean fork length (FL) was 734 mm, and weight (W, g) to length (FL, mm) relation was: W = 1.786 x 10(-6)(FL)(3.204). Mean weight loss during summer was 1.9 g/day. Ninety-two percent of Gulf sturgeon were captured in the West Middle River reach which is comprised of deep holes and little current. Radio telemetry indicated that the West Middle River was an important summer habitat for juveniles and subadults. Estimated mean summer population size in the West Middle River, determined from mark and recapture, ranged from 67 to 124 individuals, but low intra-year tag return indicated this may be part of a larger population. Annuli on pectoral fin rays were formed during May-July and 94% of fish aged were <6 years old. Adults (those >1.2 m FL) were scarce, suggesting excessive mortality.

AB The US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) conducted a field demonstration project in which a variety of expedient surfaces were constructed and trafficked to test stabilization techniques for thawing soils. The project was conducted at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, during the 1995 spring thaw. Cooperating partners included the Wisconsin National Guard, the US Army Engineer School, the USDA Forest Service (USFS), Terramat, and Uni-Mat International, Inc. As part of the overall project, the stabilizing techniques were evaluated for expediency, ease of construction, performance during trafficking, and vehicle mobility enhancement. The test and evaluation program generated recommendations for construction of expedient roads under thawing conditions to be incorporated into military engineering decision aids and simulations. The information is also applicable for non-military purposes such as timber- and pipeline-access in the logging, oil and gas industries. This paper provides a general description of the techniques tested and installation methods used as well as some difficulties associated with each. It also briefly describes the tests performed and types of data gathered. Greater detail and results are provided in Kestler et al. (in prep).

AB An in-situ electrical resistivity probe was evaluated for use in monitoring the vertical distribution of petroleum hydrocarbon in contaminated soil. By installing the probe to intersect the water table, it continuously monitors the presence of free-phase hydrocarbons by detecting electrical resistivity changes corresponding to the degree of oil saturation in the sediment pores. At a field site where diesel contamination occurs within a fine-grained sand, the results from the probe were compared to chemical analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) of soil borings and measured free product (light non-aqueous phase liquid-LNAPL) thickness and groundwater level in wells. The resistivity probe was also used to study LNAPL behavior under fluctuating water table conditions in a controlled laboratory environment. Results from the resistivity probe reflect the distribution of the contaminant within the sediment on a continuous basis and more accurately than contaminant thickness measurements in wells.

AB This study was designed to investigate the geophysical characteristics of fracture zones associated with photolinear features in West-central Florida and to determine the most effective geophysical profiling methods for rapid field characterization. Multiple surface-geophysical techniques were employed to verify the geologic significance of two photolinear features at the study site. Interpretation of the geophysical data was constrained by using multiple geophysical methods, site lithologic data and information obtained in previous studies of photolinear features in West-central Florida.
   Closely spaced horizontal-loop electromagnetic (HLEM) and very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF) tilt-angle data were used to locate geophysical anomalies associated with the fracture zone. Resistivity profiling data correlate well with the results of the HLEM and VLF methods. The optimum-offset, seismic-reflection technique accurately delineates the large-scale fracture zone; however resolution is insufficient for detailed stratigraphic interpretation. Self-potential data show a negative-streaming potential associated with the center of the fracture zone. Microgravity data along a section of the fracture zone indicate lateral variations in density that correlate well with anomalies identified with the other geophysical methods. Future studies of photolinears in West-central Florida should use high-density VLF and HLEM surveys as rapid reconnaissance techniques to locate anomalies associated with photolinears. High-resolution, shallow, seismic reflection, resistivity, SP and gravity methods can be used to provide additional correlation.
   Geophysical and lithologic data from the study site are incorporated into a geologic model of the fracture zone. Data suggest that the two photolinears are related to a large-scale fracture zone in the Floridan Aquifer. The fracture zone appears to be greater than 700 m wide with a 100 m wide sand-filled bedrock low. The bedrock low is flanked by zones of higher bulk density approximately 200-400 m wide. The zones of higher bulk density are interpreted as zones of recrystallized limestone caused by the precipitation of calcite along the fracture zone. The recrystallized limestone zones appear to host multiple limestone pinnacles and clay-filled fractures. The observed photolinears correspond to a sand-filled bedrock low and a zone of dense, recrystallized limestone adjacent to the bedrock low.

It also discusses the role of a domain specific software architecture, and describes the use of the Honeywell MetaH tool - an automatic code generation tool that was used to automate a significant portion of the software reengineering effort. The conclusions point to areas where reverse engineering technology may be particularly helpful in the context of these process activities.

AB Ohmic contacts are usually formed by indiffusing a dopant atom into an already heavily doped film often by an alloying process. In a novel interpretation we show that the dominant effect of doping the film is to form an n(+)-n junction that contributes to the contact resistance, which can be reduced by forming a stepped doping profile. We also show that the contact resistance can be reduced by tunneling to deep states, and they could be formed by metallic dopants such as Au and Pd. For contacts to HEMT structures we show that penetration to the 2DEG is important because the AlGaAs/GaAs n-n heterojunction can provide a significant resistance. The lateral uniformity of the emitter contact of an HBT is important for device uniformity, and it can best be achieved by an epitaxial Ge contact.

AB As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and state regulators increase the stringency and enforcement of regulations concerning emissions produced by open-air detonation of energetic materials, research must provide the means of obtaining emissions data. The BangBox emissions testing program established the technical foundations for emissions characterization which have been accepted by the USEPA and other regulatory agencies; the technical issues remaining are nettlesome and require new approaches in test procedures. Characterizing emissions produced by the open burning (OB) or open detonation (OD) of chlorine-containing energetics is an excellent example. Highly reactive, chlorine combines with a number of materials found in most testing environments, e.g., metal in sampling devices and moisture in the air, thus greatly complicating the testing situation. This paper describes the materials tested, special considerations in preparing the test facility, the means used to account for chlorine, and preliminary results of a developmental test on solid rocket-motor propellants conducted in July and August 1995 at the BangBox test facility at the U.S. Army West Desert Test Center in Utah. The paper also projects how the creative processes used in developing the means for testing chlorine-containing energetics can be applied in resolving other emissions-data needs of the explosives industry such as supporting OB/OD permit applications and responding to notices of deficiency and notices of violation.

AB Full-density tungsten-titanium (W-Ti) alloys have been fabricated by a new, hot-explosive compaction technique. The alloy billets that are formed consist of W grains embedded in a generally discontinuous, preferentially oriented Ti-rich matrix. The effects of the use of different types of precursor powders, the W:Ti stoichiometry on the dispersibility of the W grains in the alloy, and the post-consolidation anneal control of the Ti-rich matrix were of primary interest. The alloy billets were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The major features of the technique and the microstructural properties of the W-Ti alloys will be discussed.

AB BACKGROUND. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a most valuable tool for the early detection of prostate cancer; however, it has a high false-positive rate as presently used in prostate cancer screening programs. Patients with persistent PSA elevations, normal digital rectal examinations, and multiple negative biopsies present a clinical dilemma. We prospectively evaluated whether free PSA improves the specificity of PSA and can be useful as a clinical guide to avoid repeat prostate biopsies in a group of such patients.
   METHODS. Sixty-seven men with persistent PSA elevations (mean 9.6 ng/mL; range 4.1-24.8 ng/mL), normal digital rectal examinations, and two or more prior sextant biopsies (mean 2.8), had serum collected for measurement of total and free PSA. All patients were rebiopsied to determine the receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) of total PSA vs. percent free PSA for prostate cancer detection.
   RESULTS. This study by biopsy identified 11 new prostate cancer cases. The median percent free PSA was significantly higher at 18.1% among men without prostate cancer, compared to 6.4% in men with prostate cancer (P < 0.00005). When sensitivity was plotted against I-specificity, the area under the receiver-operating curve (ROC) for percent free PSA was 0.95, compared to 0.75 for free PSA density, 0.59 for PSA density, and 0.54 for PSA. In patients with elevated total PSA levels, normal digital rectal examinations, and two prior sets of negative sextant prostate biopsies, a cutoff of 10% free PSA would maintain sensitivity at 91% with a corresponding specificity of 86%.
   CONCLUSIONS. Selective measurement of percent free PSA in cases of uncertain diagnosis can significantly improve the specificity of prostate cancer detection compared to total PSA alone. A low percent free PSA (< 10%) appears to be a significant predictor of prostate cancer even after two or more negative prostate biopsies. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

AB The skills needed to perform ultrasonographic (US)-guided interventional procedures in the breast can be learned by practicing the key maneuvers on a tissue phantom. Use of a tissue phantom rather than a synthetic phantom provides the tactile feedback from transducer movement against tissue and from needle insertion into tissue, which more closely simulates the performance of the procedure in a real breast. There are three key transducer motions-sweeping, rocking, and rotating-that are used to achieve three important goals in US-guided procedures: finding the needle, maximally visualizing the needle, and correctly aligning the needle shaft and ultrasound beam. For each transducer maneuver, there is a corollary needle motion that can be used to achieve the same goal. Either the transducer or the needle should be moved during a procedure, not both simultaneously. Longitudinal alignment of the needle shaft with the ultrasound beam is best achieved with the perpendicular approach. The perpendicular approach is preferred because it allows superior needle visualization, orientation parallel to the chest wall, and location of the needle shaft at the focal zone. With use of a tissue phantom, the radiologist-in-training can practice the key procedures and tailor them to his or her individual preferences.

ID TRAP MASS-SPECTROMETER
AB Laser-induced denitration of nitrocellulose has been investigated using an ion trap mass spectrometer, Selective dissociation of nitro groups into predominantly nitric oxide was observed when nitrocellulose was exposed to pulsed UV laser radiation, The wavelength dependence of denitration shows the simple trend that shorter wavelength UV laser light induces more dissociation of nitro groups, The weight-loss rate of the sample (nitrogen content 13.6%), due to denitration induced by 266 nm laser light, was measured to be 4+/-0.4 mu g/J. This represents a 5.8% photon-to-nitro group conversion efficiency. A laser intensity threshold is observed, above which thermal decomposition occurs.

AB The proteins isolated from the whole cells of bacterial pathogens and related non-pathogenic simulants were analyzed directly, with minimal sample preparation by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry, Inspection of mass spectrometric profiles obtained from direct MALDI-MS analysis of the protein extracts revealed specific biomarkers for individual bacterial cells, The observed biomarkers enabled us not only to detect pathogenic bacteria (Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis and Brucella melitensis), but also to distinguish them from the corresponding non-pathogenic species, By examining a series of strains of several Bacillus species (anthracis, thuringiensis, cereus and subtilis), it was possible to derive genus, species and strain-specific biomarkers from the measured molecular masses of the intact proteins, Additional series of biomarkers were obtained from direct mass spectrometric analysis of tryptic digests of the protein extracts. The application of this technique for rapid chemotaxonomic classification of microorganisms is demonstrated.

ID COMBINED POSTERIOR CONTUSION; INFECTIOUS ENDOPHTHALMITIS; OCULAR TRAUMA;
   PIG EYE; MANAGEMENT
AB Purpose: A swine model of penetrating ocular trauma was used to determine the delivery of systemically administered cefazolin to the vitreous cavity of traumatized and nontraumatized eyes.
   Methods: Thirty-one pigs received a scleral laceration to the right eye under anesthesia and then were given intravenous cefazolin every 8 hours. Seven pigs received nine doses al 17 mg/kg. Seven animals received three doses of 36 mg/kg, and six others received nine doses of this regimen. Six pigs received three doses of 79 mg/kg and five others received three doses of 190 mg/kg.
   Results: Vitreous levels of cefazolin averaged 15.6 mu g/mL in traumatized eyes but were less than 1 mu g/mL in control eyes of animals receiving three doses at 190 mg/kg (P less than or equal to 0.025). Mean serum concentration in these animals was 49.3 mu g/mL. Vitreous levels were less than 1 mu g/mL in traumatized and control eyes in animals given lower doses of cefazolin (range, 17-79 mg/kg) despite multiple treatments over 2 and 3 days.
   Conclusions: These data demonstrate that systemically delivered cefazolin achieves levels ten times the minimum inhibitory concentration for Staphylococcus epidermidis in injured eyes. Therapeutic intraocular levels can be obtained through intravenous dosing, provided that therapeutic serum concentrations are achieved.

AB The US Army Corps of Engineers monitors Total Dissolved Gas (TDG) below its dams in the Columbia River Basin to provide information for operational decisions. Gas supersaturation conditions produced in the water downstream of the dams need to be managed to minimize gas bubble trauma in fish and other aquatic organisms. One critical element of the monitoring program is to determine the magnitude and direction of bias between fixed monitors and river concentrations.
   The study found bias in both directions at all eight of the fixed monitors studied. The magnitude of the bias was 0.0 to 6.0 % saturation and the range was -4.7 to 6.0 % saturation. The magnitude of the bias is dependent on TDG concentrations upstream of the dam, the total river discharge, discharge through the powerhouse, discharge over the spillway, and the mixing characteristics downstream of the dam.

AB The Corps of Engineers now requires risk-based analysis in the formulation of flood damage reduction projects. This policy is a major departure from past practices and is viewed as a significant step forward in improving the basis for Corps project development. The risk-based approach explicitly incorporates uncertainty of key parameters and functions into project benefit and performance analyses. Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess the impact of the uncertainty in the discharge-probability, elevation-discharge, and elevation-damage functions. This paper summarizes historical project development study methods, describes the risk-based analysis approach, presents application results, and discusses project design implications of the new policy.

AB This paper describes development of the Mississippi-Missouri UNET [1] Forecast Model. This project utilizes the UNET unsteady flow model and much of the geometric and now data developed in the Floodplain Management Assessment study (FPMA) [2]. This effort includes development of a graphical user interface (GUI) reflecting the unique needs of real-time forecasting and design of data protocols for storage, retrieval, presentation and transfer of forecast information from upstream to downstream offices. The data management system uses the Hydrologic Engineering Center's (HEC) Data Storage System [3]. The modeling system is being developed to encompass low flows, routine day-to-day forecasting needs (such as lock and dam operations), as well as the simulation and forecasting of flood events. The status of this effort is described herein.

AB Many species of the west African ''soap tree'' Dracaena are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In continuation of our search for antiinfective agents from plants implicated in traditional medicine, we evaluated the biological activities of saponins from extracts of Dracaena mannii and Dracaena arborea by using a battery of test systems such as radiorespirometry, Cytosensor(R), bioautography, and agar dilution methods and molluscicidal tests.
   Bioassay-directed fractionation of the methanol extracts of seed pulp using a combination of chromatographic techniques, gel filtration, droplet countercurrent chromatography (DCCC), and low-pressure liquid chromatography (Lobar), led to the isolation and characterization of spiroconazole A, a pennogenin triglycoside [3 beta-O-[(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2),alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-17 alpha-hydroxyl-spirost-5-ene] (Fig. 1). As the active constituent, spiroconazole A exhibited pronounced antileishmanial, antimalarial, and molluscicidal activities. This paper also reports on the fungistatic, fungicidal and bacteriostatic activity of spiroconazole A against 17 species of fungi and 4 of bacteria.

AB Background: In the past decade, the US Army has evaluated small volume resuscitation of hemorrhagic hypotension in animal models and found that a single dose of HSD could achieve equal or better resuscitation compared to lactated Ringer's (LR), at about 10% of the volume. However, questions concerning whether HSD would be effective in dehydrated soldiers or with repeated doses have not been addressed adequately.
   Methods: In the dehydration study, adult sheep, deprived of water for 4 days, were bled to 50 mmHg mean arterial pressure. After a 2 h hypotensive period, animals were resuscitated with 4 ml/kg HSD or an equal solute load of LR (37 ml/kg).
   Results: Both solutions were effective in restoring cardiac output with no evidence of adverse renal effects, as assessed by histology, glomerular filtration rate and urinary dextran molecular size distribution, observed over 7 days. In other studies, multiple HSD doses were investigated in swine bled until aortic blood flow was half that of control levels. HSD, 4 ml/kg, was then infused and effects on hemodynamics noted. This hemorrhage-resuscitation sequence was repeated until HSD no longer increased cardiac output to baseline levels. HSD was effective in restoring hemodynamic function in this severe hemorrhage model through 2, and in some animals, 3 cycles, although acid-base derangements (decreased pH, increased base excess, etc.) were not improved.
   Conclusions: These data suggest that HSD retains its volume expansion properties in moderate dehydration and a second dose, if necessary, should be safe and effective. However, under conditions of recurrent hemorrhage, administration of 3 or more doses of HSD should be avoided.

AB Burn injury results in a rapid loss of intravascular volume as wound edema forms, which reduces the circulating blood volume and generates the need for fluid therapy to combat hypovolemia. Fluid resuscitation of a burn patient is usually carried out with isotonic, sodium- and chloride-containing fluids, such as lactated Ringer's solution. The initial 24 h resuscitation volume is based on the burn size and body weight of the patient, Following a successful resuscitation, the burn patient develops stereotypic neurohormonal and metabolic responses that, depending on the extent of injury, last for several weeks or months. Breathing of incomplete products of combustion by the fire victim produces inhalation injury, the incidence of which rises with increasing burn size and the severity of which is proportional to the duration of exposure, Systemic hypoxia from carbon monoxide toxicity causes early death; chemical airway injury increases mortality and predisposes to subsequent pneumonia that further reduces survival, The diagnosis of inhalation injury is made by bronchoscopy and/or xenon scan and therapy involves support of ventilation. Thermal destruction of the cutaneous mechanical barrier and the presence of nonviable avascular burn eschar as well as impairment of other host defenses render the burn patient susceptible to local as well as systemic infections, Care following resuscitation is focused on topical antimicrobial therapy, burn wound excision, and wound closure by grafting. Nutritional support and the prevention and control of infection are constant themes in burn patient management, A progressive improvement in general care of the acutely injured patient, prevention of shock, effective means of maintaining organ function, prevention and control of burn wound and other infections, and physiologically based metabolic support have significantly increased burn patient survival in recent decades.

AB We have undertaken deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements on pn junction diodes formed from newly available high-purity 6H-SiC epitaxial layers. The epitaxial layers wee grown with a novel method known as site-competition epitaxy which has previously been shown to control the doping concentration of nitrogen and aluminum, and boron impurities We report that site competition epitaxial growth also influences the concentration of the deep boron-related defect known as the D-center as measured by DLTS.

ID CAPACITANCE SPECTROSCOPY; SILICON-CARBIDE; DEEP LEVELS; BORON
AB Room-temperature yellow luminescence is a distinctive signature of boron-related deep level defects in 6H-SiC. This yellow luminescence is associated with the boron-related D-center, rather than the mon shallow boron acceptor. However, the reported activation energy for photoluminescence (0.70-0.73 eV) is in disagreement with the D-center's reported thermal activation energy (0.58-0.63 ev)as determined by Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS). We show that this discrepancy can be eliminated by correcting the DLTS results for the temperature dependence of hole capture at the D-center. By use of independent capture and emission measurements, and a two-stage deep-level capture model, the D-center's ground state is resolved to be E(v) + 0.74 eV +/- 0.02 eV, in good agreement with photoluminescence data.

AB The effects of intravenous fluids on hematocrit are debated. We sought to determine whether maintenance or bolus fluid therapy causes a significant change in the hematocrit and other hematologic parameters included in the complete blood count. Nine subjects completed a randomized three-period crossover designed trial in which they were given no fluid, maintenance fluid, or a bolus of fluid followed by maintenance fluid. We measured complete blood counts at baseline, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours. In the bolus fluid trial, the hemoglobin and hematocrit values (mean +/- SEM) decreased by a maximum of 1.5 +/- 0.1 g/dL and 4.1 +/- 0.3% at 1 hour. There was no difference in hemoglobin or hematocrit during the no fluid or maintenance fluid treatments. No significant changes occurred in white blood cell or platelet counts. We demonstrated that maintenance fluid infusions do not significantly alter the complete blood count. Saline bolus is associated with a significant decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit, but these parameters trend toward baseline over time.

TI Bayesian analysis of noninvasive versus oral temperature measurements to
   determine hypothermia in postoperative patients
SO SOUTHERN MEDICAL JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
ID THERMOMETER
AB Measurement of body temperature in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) is an important parameter in patient management. Failure to reach minimal acceptable body temperature standards has been associated with physiologic derangements, the application of additional therapy and prolonged PACU stays. Newer methods to monitor temperature introduced into the PACU have been touted to be adequate for detecting clinically significant changes in temperature. In this study, skin core-temperature-corrected liquid crystal thermography (LCT), axillary (AT) electronic, and infrared tympanic membrane (ITT) temperatures were compared with oral thermistor thermometry (OT) in 205 PACU patients. Regression analysis suggests that when compared with the oral method, ITT tends to overestimate and AT and LCT tend to underestimate oral temperatures. Mean temperatures obtained by LCT (35.5 +/- 1.0 degrees C), AT (35.1 +/- 0.9 degrees C), and ITT (36.3 +/- 0.8 degrees C) differed significantly from OT (36.0 +/- 0.7 degrees C) mean temperatures. We applied Bayesian analysis to assess the sensitivity and specificity of each method, using a hypothermia reference of < 36 degrees C. Results suggest that the definition of hypothermia may depend on the modality used to assess body temperature in the PACU.

AB During a routine preflight inspection at Ft. Hood, an outboard barrel nut was found to be cracked on an Army helicopter. The part was fabricated from UNS N07718 material according to AMS 5662F "Alloy Bars, Forgings, and Rings, Corrosion and Heat Resistant". Subsequent inspections at Ft. Hood and Ft. Rucker revealed an additional seven barrel nuts with large cracks. The components are used in many critical applications. The failures under investigation in this study were relegated to the vertical stabilizer of the aircraft. The failures were all attributed to hydrogen induced cracking. Galling between the unlubricated bolt and the nut threads provided the sustained hoop stress while galvanic corrosion of the carbon steel retaining clip in contact with the barrel nut generated hydrogen as a result of the corrosion process. Microstructural analysis of the material used to fabricate the nut revealed excessive banding consisting of a Widmanstatten phase and MC carbides which ran parallel to the fracture plane. The grains were almost completely surrounded by an undesirable acicular delta phase. No evidence of Laves phase was observed. Recommendations were made to utilize a corrosion inhibitive lubricant on the threads of the barrel nut and mating bolt to reduce galling and the consequential high stresses which result from metal to metal contact during torquing. A stress analysis of the part showed that the high strength level of the material could be reduced to increase fracture toughness and resistance to hydrogen cracking. The acicular delta phase should be avoided in accordance with AMS 5662F and the extrusion direction of the material should be parallel to the principal loading direction. Salt fog testing of the proposed barrel nut configuration revealed that the shoulder height base thickness should be increased. Future vendors should qualify their product by conducting a prescribed salt fog test incorporating the revised torque requirements. Finally, the material used to fabricate the retaining clip should be changed to prevent galvanic corrosion.

AB In infrared hot-electron transistors, the energy distribution of the injected electrons after passing through the base can be directly measured at the collector. In this work, a theoretical calculation on the evolution of the electron energy distribution in the base is presented. We applied the calculation to devices with different doping densities, and obtained quantitative agreement with the experiment. The result of this calculation can be used for device optimization. We also derived a generalized expression between noise and capture probability of a QWIP. The noise of a QWIP was found to be larger than the conventional expression for generation-recombination noise. (C) 1996 Academic Press Limited

AB Background. Bile acid exposure produces cellular hypercalcemia in gastric and hepatic cells. It is not Known, however, whether this event contributes to cell injury or if it results from passive equilibration of calcium ion concentrations across the membranes of irreversibly damaged cells. This study was performed to determine whether the cellular hypercalcemia produced by bile acid exposure in gastric cells is reversible and to determine whether the source of this hypercalcemia is from intracellular stores of calcium extracellular sources, or both.
   Methods. Cytosolic free calcium concentrations ([Ca](i)) were measured in rabbit gastric mucosal cells that had been loaded with the intracellular probe FURA-2. Measurements were performed in suspensions of dispersed cells by using standard spectrofluorometry and in primarily cultured cells by using fluorescence videomicroscopy. Measurements were made before and after exposure to 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol/L deoxycholic acid (DC). These measurements were made in the presence of 1 mmol/L extracellular calcium and in the absence of any extracellular calcium (0.5 mmol/L EGTA).
   Results. In experiments with dispersed cells and spectrofluorometry, [Ca](i) increased from a pretreatment level of 194 +/- 8 nmol/L to 396 +/- 21 nmol/L within 3 minutes of exposure to 0.2 mmol/L DC. When these cells were washed and resuspended in DC-free medium, [Ca](i)] decreased to 180 +/- 5 nmol/L. In experiments with cultured cells and florescence videomicroscopy, rapid, reversible hypercalcemia was observed after exposure to 0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L DC. Removal of extracellular calcium from the incubating medium reduced both the magnitude and duration of the observed hypercalcemia.
   Conclusions. These data show that the cellular hypercalcemia that accompanies DC-induced injury in gastric cells is a reversible event. The initial increase in [Ca](i) appears to come from both intracellular and extracellular sources, although sustained hypercalcemia requires a source of extracellular calcium. As a reversible event, cellular hypercalcemia may be an important pathophysiologic feature of bile and induced injury of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

AB In order to model high strain rate deformation and texture evolution in commercially pure tantalum (Ta), a description for the thermal-elastic-viscoplastic behavior of Ta single crystals is considered along with an associated polycrystal averaging scheme. The description incorporates a temperature dependent model for pencil glide on the planes of maximum resolved shear stress. Calculated stress-strain data and texture evolution for this model are compared to those of a restricted glide model and to experimental data.

AB Metalloid impurities have a very low solubility in Tantalum, and therefore prefer to segregate at the grain boundaries (GBs). In order to analyze the energetics of the impurities on the Tantalum GB, the first principles calculations were performed on a simple 8-atom supercell emulating a typical (capped trigonal prism) GB environment. The so-called "environment-sensitive embedding energies" were calculated for Hydrogen, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur, as a function of the electron charge density due to the host atoms at the impurity site. The calculations showed that, at the electron density typical of a GB, Carbon has the lowest energy (followed by Nitrogen and Boron) and thus would compete with the other impurities for the site on the GB, tending to displace them from the GB. The above energies were then used in a modified Finnis-Sinclair embedded atom approach for calculating the cohesive energies and the equilibrium interplanar distances in the vicinity of a (111) Sigma 3 tilt GB plane, both for the clean (CL) GB and that with an impurity. These distances were found to oscillate, returning to the value corresponding to the equilibrium spacing between (111) planes in bulk BCC Tantalum by the 10th-12th plane off the GB. Carbon, Nitrogen and Boron somewhat dampen the deformation wave (making the oscillations less than in the CL GB), while Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulphur cause an increase of the oscillations. The cohesive energies follow the same trend, the GB with Carbon being the most stable. Thus, Carbon, Nitrogen and Boron may be thought of as being cohesion enhancers, while Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulphur result in decohesion effects.

AB High oxygen (250-450ppm) content in P/M forged materials are characterized as having a higher flow stress and greater work hardening than wrought high purity tantalum. The initial stage of work hardening is greater at a low strain rate than at a higher rate. This behavior may be due to the intergranular tantalum oxide particles. In spite of the higher oxygen content, P/M forged tantalum exhibits favorable ductility. TEM study was performed on extruded and forged PM tantalum annealed at different temperatures. A comparison was made between these microstructures and in other microstructures previously revealed in tantalum that has been processed differently.

DE composites; impact resistance; textile reinforcement
AB Composites made from textile preforms are currently being evaluated for use in aircraft structures. Textile composites have the potential for significant cost savings through automated preform fabrication and low-cost resin transfer molding (RTM). Another benefit of textile composites may be improved impact properties over composites made from unidirectional tape. Laminated composites made from unidirectional tape are very susceptible to delamination from out-of-plane loads due to their relatively low interlaminar properties. Textile composites may improve the through-the-thickness properties through nesting of preform layers or direct reinforcement in the thickness direction. This report summarizes a series of tests that was run to characterize the impact damage resistance of a variety of textile composites that included 2D braids, 3D weaves, and stitched and non-stitched uniweaves. All materials had a nominal thickness of 6.35 mm (0.25 in.). The specimens were evaluated using a quasi-static indentation (QSI) test method. The impact damage resistance was summarized in terms of the contact force required to initiate large delaminations and a delamination resistance parameter. The delamination resistance parameter, Q*, related delamination diameter to impact force over a range of delamination sizes.

DE titanium; surface preparation
AB The objective of this effort was to investigate the feasibility of utilizing non-chromatid non-carcinogenic surface preparation processes on commercially pure (CP) titanium substrates for structural adhesive bonding. Phase One of this effort consisted of a market survey, literature search, OSHA/EPA impact studies, and waste treatment cost analyses of potential non-chromatic alternatives to the CAA and Pasa-Jell processes. Based on Phase One results, the following processes were selected for laboratory evaluation: P2 etch anodization, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) anodization, and sodium hydroxide/hydrogen peroxide (NaOH/H2O2) anodization. In Phase Two of the study, CP titanium substrates treated with the three low toxicity (''lotox'') processes were compared to the baseline CAA and Pasa-Jell 107 processes. Evaluations performed on a ''fast track'' iterative basis consisted of tensile lap shear strength tests at 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) and at 93 degrees C (200 degrees F, after soaking in water for 24 hours at 200 degrees F), and wedge crack extension tests. The data generated indicated that the NaOH anodization and the NaOH/H2O2 anodization processes exceeded the performance of the Pasa-Jell 107 process and were statistically equivalent to the CAA process. Results for several of the P2 anodization iterations appeared promising. However, due to sample size and data reproducibility, additional work is needed to fully determine optimum processing parameters for the P2 anodizing method.

DE adhesive bonding; artillery rounds; phenolics
AB Glass filled phenolic has been used extensively as a heat insulator and erosion inhibitor on a series of Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) artillery rounds. To achieve extended range, designers are increasing the potency of the rocket propulsion systems; this produced a mole erosive environment due to the hot rocket gasses. Insulating materials become increasingly more important to protect electrical components,nozzle orifices, explosive components, and fuzes from hot gun and rocket gasses. Historically, phenolic insulators have been fastened with a variety of adhesive bonding materials/processes which were labor intensive and were not compatible with assembly line procedures. The operations tend to be time consuming, operator dependent and costly. This study evaluated the bond between a glass filled phenolic insulating material and a high carbon steel, using-several different adhesives and processes over a wide temperature range. The study ranked best candidate systems not only on performance but on their ability to be incorporated into production. Production requirements taken into account were surface preparation, mixing, application, tooling/fixturing pot life, and handling strength.

AB In order to comply with the regulations set forth in the Montreal Protocol and the Clean Air Act, a challenge was presented to identify alternate materials, which are ozone depleting chemical (ODC) free, to seal the casemouth on small caliber ammunition. The existing casemouth sealant material is an asphalt resin with a 1,1,1 trichloroethane (TCA) solvent. A series of ODC free materials were evaluated, ranging from 100% solids to a variety of water-borne materials.
   Top ranking alternates were categorized based on their ability to meet environmental regulations, OSHA safety requirements, compatibility with explosives and existing application equipment without compromising performance requirements. Initial fast track testing was used to down select best candidates. Fast track testing included viscosity, vacuum leak, bullet pull, and profile bulge. Chemical analysis and ballistic qualification testing were performed on the best candidates. Chemical analysis techniques used were FTIR and Mass Spectroscopy. Ballistic qualification testing was conducted under a variety of environmental conditions over a wide temperature range. Based on the results obtained, the most promising candidates were found to be waterborne asphalt resin materials.

AB A parametric model has been developed to predict the performance of body armor systems under impact by a chunky steel projectile of arbitrary mass, shape, impact velocity, and impact obliquity. The model, which is based on a six-dimensional nonlinear regression analysis of extensive test data for Kevlar 29, is capable of predicting the performance of these body armor systems with user-defined areal density. The model partitions the energy absorbed by the body armor system into strain and kinetic energy; at impact velocities well above the ballistic limit of the system, the predominant mechanism of energy absorption is through kinetic energy transfer. The implications of this fact on the design of lightweight armor systems are discussed, along with the development of the model and suggestions for its use in designing, optimizing, and evaluating the functional utility of body armor systems.

AB The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrum from 500 to 4000 cm(-1) was measured for several Ge films deposited on GaAs using ultra high vacuum (UHV) E-beam deposition at substrate temperatures ranging from roam temperature (RT) to 500 degrees C. The spectra indicate oxygen incorporation at low deposition temperatures whether or not the native oxide was removed from the substrate prior to film deposition. Previously, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has shown that all of the Ge films deposited on GaAs (100) at room temperature and those deposited at 100 degrees C on GaAs (100) having a native oxide are amorphous while those deposited at 100 degrees C on oxide free (100) GaAs are crystalline, but highly defective. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements show that the films deposited at RT contain more than two orders of magnitude more oxygen than the films deposited at 100 degrees C or a single crystal film deposited at 400 degrees C. O-16/O-18 diffusion studies definitively show that the excess oxygen in the films percolates in from the atmosphere. SIMS studies further reveal that thermally removing the GaAs substrate surface oxide or depositing a 1200 Angstrom polycrystalline Au film on top of the Ge film has little effect on the incorporation of oxygen.

As a prerequisite to the lubrication analysis, this paper is devoted to the study of worm gear geometry. A general methodology, the method of enveloping, is used to produce the worm gear geometry. Contact properties, particularly those which are needed in the lubrication analysis, are obtained. The influence of two geometrical parameters, i.e., the pressure angle and the apex angle, on the contact properties are discussed in detail.

AB Previous effort conducted in the 1970's involved chemical neutralization techniques for non-detonative destruction of the TNT explosive charge in landmines for countermining operations. Two specific techniques were (1) an essentially isothermal solvent/amine "wash-out" system that simultaneously dissolved and neutralized the TNT into a non-explosive, nearly inert residual composition and (2) a highly exothermic hypergolic chemical initiation system that achieved an autocatalytic non-detonative self-consumption of the TNT. Based on this earlier work, this humanitarian demining effort was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of chemical neutralization methodology to achieve in situ neutralization of landmines, with emphasis on anti-personnel mines, and to extend the work to Composition B sind RDX explosives in addition to TNT. The objective was to demonstrate one or more systems that could be implemented quickly and simply to neutralize surface-emplaced landmines. A number of delivery systems were evaluated as well as numerous chemical reagents that were hypergolic with the explosives and would initiate an autocatalytic self-consumption in them. The first system, referred to as "bullet with chemical capsule", used about 15 mt diethylenetriamine in a plastic capsule that was placed just above the surface-emplaced landmine. A bullet, shot through the capsule and into the mine, ruptured the capsule, penetrated the casing of the mine, and entered into the explosive charge, causing the amine hypergol to contact the somewhat fractured explosive and initiate the highly exothermic autocatalytic complete destruction of the explosive. The second system, referred to as "chemical-filled projectile", shot a bullet/cartridge projectile into the mine in such manner that the bullet would penetrate the mine casing and enter the explosive, rupture the cartridge to release about 10 mt of diethylzinc (with 20 percent toluene diluent) into the penetrated explosive to similarly achieve at highly exothermic autocatalytic complete destruction of the explosive. Both systems were effective against TNT and Composition B. The major advantage of this chemical neutralization methodology is that complete, non-detonative neutralization of the explosive component in the landmines is achieved, yielding products that are environmentally acceptable and without detonation damage to the area or contamination by mine-casing debris, especially in the case of metal-encased landmines.

AB An experimental and chemical modeling study of neat and NH3-doped H-2/N2O/Ar flames (Phi similar to 1.1) is conducted to understand the fundamental mechanism for NO formation and destruction and to predict the efficacy of NH3 on the rate of conversion of NO to NP Species concentration and temperature profiles are measured with a molecular beam mass spectrometer and thin-wire thermocouple, respectively. Species profiled include H-2, N2O, NH3,. N-2 NO, and Ar. The experimental mole fractions are compared to both equilibrium and premixed laminar flame code calculations. The flame code employs a chemical mechanism consisting of 87 reactions and 20 species with rate constants obtained from a critical literature review. Equilibrium calculations are in very good agreement with both experimental and flame code calculations for N2O, N-2, and H2O in the postflame region of both neat and doped flames. However, they underpredict the Ho and NO mole fraction in both flames, proving that NO is not in equilibrium and prevents full energy release. The flame code profiles of the majority of the species agree well with experiment for the neat flame and reasonably well for the doped flame. A 55% reduction in the NO male fraction for 4% dopant is predicted in the postflame region, in good agreement with that observed experimentally. The flame calculations overpredict the NH3 mole fractions in the postflame region, however, suggesting that refinements in the model are necessary. Rate and sensitivity analyses reveal that the decrease in NO mole fraction results from less NO formation by the reactions N2O + H = NO + NH and N + OH = NO + H and more of its consumption to N-2 by reactions NO + NH2 = N-2 + H2O and NO + NH2 = NNH + OH.

ID SPECTROSCOPY; FLAMES
AB A multichannel infrared absorption technique has been developed and applied to the study of steady-state, self-sustained combustion of solid propellant flames at elevated pressure. An infrared light source, windowed pressure chamber; and spectrometer-diode array detector formed the basic experimental setup with which in situ absorption measurements were made. Spectra were obtained over the wavenumber range of 2300 to 6000 cm(-1). Within this range, absorptions for HCN, H2O, N2O, CO, CO2, and CH4 hare been detected through the use of a 1024-element platinum silicide array detector with die ability to read complete spectra in 10 ms. Experimental dark zone results for a nitramine propellant (XM39) and a double-base-like propellant (JA2) have been obtained, and these absorption spectra analyzed with a full spectrum, multivariate, nonlinear, least-squares-fitting pc progam that makes use of the HITRAN database for the required molecular information. In some cases, the absorption spectra of the molecule had sufficient detail and fidelity to allow determination of both temperature and absolute concentration. This occurred for HCN and N2O in XM39 propellant and for H2O and CO in JA2 propellant. Dark zone temperatures (1185 K for XM39 and 1433 K for JA2) obtained in this fashion are in good agreement with reported values. All six of the species were found in XM39, and absolute concentration or upper-limits are given. No evidence of HCN or N2O absorption uas observed in the dark zone of JA2, thus, four dark zone species concentrations are reported for this propellant. Comparisons of species concentration and dark zone temperature measurements are made with other published measurements under conditions of steady-state, self-sustained propellant combustion.

AB In previous work, the authors designed and built a laboratory apparatus that subjects a confined bed of granular propellant to essentially a planar hot-gas ignition wave. Diagnostics include wall-mounted pressure transducers to monitor the time history of the pressure held, and fast-response thermocouples protected within custom sting-mounted steel holders which protrude into the propellant bed to measure gas temperature. The present investigation examines convective ignition behavior of five different granular solid propellants under nearly identical flow conditions. This was made possible by employing special lots of M10 (single-base), JA2 (double-base), M30 (triple-base), M43, and XM39 (nitramine composites), each as identical-sized 7-perf grains. Since the initial Row characteristics of these propellant beds are the same, differences in chamber ignition response are the direct result of propellant composition. Ignition delays for M10, JA2, and M30 are essentially within the range of 2.3-6 ms; the response is independent of composition. However, the nitramine composite M43 (energetic binder) exhibits delays of 220-300 ms, during which the gas-phase temperatures within the bed drop from 1100 K to below 400 K before a runaway reaction finally ruptures the shear disc in the chamber. It is more difficult to ignite the nitramine composite XM39 (inert binder); time delays can exceed 600 ms. The data also suggest an inverse dependence on pressure, which is consistent with the hypothesis that gas-phase chemical reactions are controlling chamber response. When the chamber configuration is altered to promote a rapidly rising pressure field, ignition delays for both nitramine propellants are reduced to less than 1 ms.

AB Objectives. Although antiandrogens have been used as monotherapy and in combination with other treatment modalities for management of metastatic prostate cancer, their major role to date has been one in which they are used in conjunction with surgical or medical castration for treatment of Stage D (T4/Nx/M1) carcinoma of the prostate. The widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is increasing the number of men who are diagnosed with earlier stages of this disease, thus resulting in a greater number of definitive therapeutic procedures. Also, PSA has become the primary modality for following these patients after definitive treatment. Because the use of PSA results in the discovery of lower volume of disease and in discerning earlier recurrence of disease, the question arises as to whether an antiandrogen alone could be an adequate treatment in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.
   Methods. As data accumulate that point to the efficacy of combined androgen blockade in metastatic disease, a protocol has been developed to test the hypothesis of intermittent combined treatment in patients who present with minimal disease and good performance status. In this study, the antiandrogen bicalutamide will be used in combination with the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue goserelin acetate. Also, short-term combined androgen ablation continues to be investigated prior to both radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy for localized disease.
   Results. Two groups of patients are ideal candidates for the use of antiandrogen monotherapy following radical prostatectomy: those whose PSA values do not fall to undetectable levels and the far larger group of men who have capsular penetration or positive surgical margins with nondetectable PSA levels. Protocols have been developed to assess the clinical potential of bicalutamide as the sole adjuvant therapy in these postprostatectomy patients, based in no small part on the relative paucity of side effects of this antiandrogen.
   Conclusions. Antiandrogens in general, and bicalutamide in particular, are poised to play an increasing role in the treatment of all stages of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The safety profile of bicalutamide, combined with its long half-life, resulting in once-a-day dosing, makes it an ideal choice for clinical trials evaluating an antiandrogen, either alone or combined with reversible medical castration, in earlier stages of prostate cancer as well as in various combination regimens in metastatic disease.

AB The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RAAP) produces nitrocellulose (NC) as a major ingredient in tank and artillery ammunition propellant. Through the process of NC production, wastewater is generated which contains large quantities of NC in the micron and sub-micron size range. These suspended and colloidal particles are collectively called NC fines. Under the impetus of a proposed Ammunition Procurement and Supply Agency suspended solids effluent limit of 25 mg/l and a greater emphasis on pollution prevention. significant research has been conducted into the areas of waste minimization and NC fine removal at the RAAP. One aspect of the current research involved a field study at the RAAP. The purpose of the field study was to inspect and discuss the entire NC production process with the operators, foremen, and NC production supervisor. With the information collected at the RAAP, it was possible to propose several waste minimization schemes and NC fines removal alternatives. From existing data, it was calculated that the proposed pollution prevention ideas could save the RAAP approximately $1,500,000 annually. Copyright (C) 1996 IAWQ.

AB Treatment of wastewater containing nitrocellulose (NC) fines is a significant hazardous waste problem currently facing manufacturers of energetic compounds. Previous studies have ruled out the use of biological treatment, since NC has appeared to be resistant to aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation. The objective of this study was to examine NC biotransformation in a mixed methanogenic enrichment culture. A modified cold-acid digestion technique was used to measure the percentage of oxidized nitrogen (N) remaining on the NC. After 11 days of incubation in cultures amended with NC (10 g/L) and methanol (9.9 mM), the % N (W/W) on the NC decreased from 13.3% to 10.1%. The presence of NC also caused a 16% reduction in methane output. Assuming the nitrate ester on NC was reduced to N-2 the decrease in CH4 represented almost exactly the amount of reducing equivalents needed for the observed decrease in oxidized N. An increase in the heat of combustion of the transformed NC correlated with the decrease in % N. There was no statistically significant decrease in % N when only NC was added to the culture, or in controls that contained only the sulfide-reduced basal medium. The biotransformed NC has a % N comparable to nonexplosive nitrated celluloses, suggesting that anaerobic treatment may be a technically feasible process for rendering NC nonhazardous.

AB Biofiltration is becoming an established economical air pollution control technology for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from waste air streams. This study utilizes diethyl ether as a VOC substrate and nitrate as a nitrogen nutrient source to investigate the effect of nitrate on VOC removal. Two trickle bed biofilters with pelletized media were operated co-currently at ether loading rates of 1.78 and 3.56 kg COD/m(3) . day respectively, with a low empty bed retention time of 25 seconds, inlet gas flow rate of 8.64 m(3)/day and nutrient liquid flow rate of 1 l/day. The ether removal efficiencies improved from 7295 to over 99% with increasing influent nitrate concentration from 66.7 to 266 mg NO3-N/l in the higher loaded column. Throughout the experiment, nitrate persisted in the liquid effluent. The lower ether removal at low influent nitrate concentrations was not due to nitrogen shortage, which suggests that the nitrate diffusion in the biofilms is rate determining. The higher COD:N consumption ratio in the biofilter with higher ether loading also indicates that ether removal may benefit from the utilization of nitrate as an alternative electron accepter in the deeper layers of the biofilm where the oxygen may be limited.

TI Wine as a digestive aid: Comparative antimicrobial effects of bismuth
   salicylate and red and white wine
SO BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
ID SUBSALICYLATE
AB Objective-To test whether red and white wines are as potent as bismuth salicylate against the bacteria responsible for traveller's diarrhoea to try to explain wine's legendary reputation as a digestive aid.
   Design-Red and white wine, bismuth salicylate, two solutions containing ethanol (diluted absolute ethanol and tequila), and sterilised water were tested against suspensions of salmonella, shigella, and Escherichia coli to determine relative antibacterial activity. Suspensions of 10(7) colony forming units of shigella, salmonella, and E coli were added to the test solutions and plated on standard nutrient agar at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 minutes and 24 hours. Dilutions of wine and bismuth salicylate were then tested with E coli as the test bacterium, and the experiment repeated.
   Main outcome measures-Exposure times necessary for eradication of organisms for the different solutions; decreases in colony counts at the different exposure times for dilutions of wine and bismuth salicylates.
   Results-Undiluted wine and bismuth salicylate were both effective in reducing the number of viable organisms (by 10(5)-10(6) colony forming units) after 20-30 minutes. Dilutions of wine were much more effective in decreasing colony counts than were similar dilutions of bismuth salicylate.
   Conclusion-The antibacterial property of wine is largely responsible for wine's reputation as a digestive aid.

AB Secondary transmission of Ebola virus infection in humans is known to be caused by direct contact with infected patients or body fluids. We report transmission of Ebola virus (Zaire strain) to two of three control rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) that did not have direct contact with experimentally inoculated monkeys held in the same room. The two control monkeys died from Ebola virus infections at 10 and 11 days after the last experimentally inoculated monkey had died. The most likely route of infection of the control monkeys was aerosol, oral, or conjunctival exposure to virus-laden droplets secreted or excreted from the experimentally inoculated monkeys. These observations suggest approaches to the study of routes of transmission to and among humans.

These condensates were screened in vitro against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum and shown to be active at concentrations in the nanomolar range. The most active chalcone derivative, 1-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-(4-quinolinyl)-2-propen-1-one (7), had an IC50 value of 200 nM against both a chloroquine-resistant strain (W2) and a chloroquine-sensitive strain (D6). The resistance indexes for all compounds were substantially lower than for chloroquine, suggesting that this series will be active against chloroquine-resistant malaria. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the chalcones in the context of a homology-based model structure of the malaria trophozoite cysteine protease, the most likely target enzyme, are presented.

AB A novel class of artemisinin analogs, N-alkyl-11-aza-9-desmethylartemisinins 17-29, were synthesized via ozonolysis and acid-catalyzed cyclization of precursor amides 5-16. These amides were prepared through condensation of an activated ester of the known intermediate acid 2 with the, corresponding primary amine. The analogs were tested in vitro against W-2 and D-6 strains of Plasmodium falciparum and found in some cases to be more active than artemisinin. A comparison of the in vitro testing methods of Milhous and Makler was conducted and gave similar relative antimalarial activities for these artemisinin analogs. Log P values were determined for most of the compounds, but no apparent correlation between log P and in vitro activity was found.

AB Glaciochemical time series developed from Summit, Greenland, indicate that the chemical composition of the atmosphere was dynamic during the Holocene epoch. Concentrations of sea salt and terrestrial dusts increased in Summit snow during the periods 0 to 600, 2400 to 3100, 5000 to 6100, 7800 to 8800, and more than 11,300 years ago. The most recent increase, and also the most abrupt, coincides with the Little Ice Age. These changes imply that either the north polar vortex expanded or the meridional air flow intensified during these periods, and that temperatures in the mid to high northern latitudes were potentially the coldest since the Younger Dryas event.

AB Resonant-cavity-enhanced light-emitting diodes (RCE LED's) are of increasing interest as a low-cost alternative to lasers for short-distance applications. We report on the characteristics of thin-film AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs double-heterostructure RCE LED's with metal mirrors on both sides fabricated by means of epitaxial liftoff and bonded to silicon host substrates. The devices exhibit: typical turn-on voltages of 1.3 V, operating resistances of 31 Ohm, linewidths of 10.4 nm, efficiencies of 1.4%, dispersion half-angles of 23.7 degrees, and stable output over more than 1700 h. These devices exhibit significant improvement over conventional LED's without additional complicated processing or growth steps, resulting in a manufacturable, low-cost device.

AB To prevent mother-to-child human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission, it is important to identify its determinants, Because HIV-1 RNA levels can be reduced by antiviral therapy, we examined the role of maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA level in mother-to-child transmission, We used quantitative competitive PCR to measure HIV-1 RNA in 30 infected pregnant women and then followed their infants prospectively; 27% of the women transmitted HIV-1 to their infants and maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA level correlated strikingly with transmission. Eight of the 10 women with the highest HIV-1 RNA levels at delivery (190,400-1,664,100 copies per mi of plasma) transmitted, while none of the 20 women with lower levels (500-155,800 copies per mi) did (P = 0.0002), Statistical analysis of the distribution of HIV-1 RNA loads in these 30 women projected a threshold for mother-to-child transmission in a larger population; the probability of a woman with a viral RNA level of less than or equal to 100,000 copies per mi not transmitting is predicted to be 97%. Examination of serial HIV-1 RNA levels during pregnancy showed that viral load was stable in women who did not initiate or change antiviral therapy. These data identify maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA level as a major determinant of mother-to-child transmission and suggest that quantitation of HIV-1 RNA may predict the risk of transmission.

ID BUFFER LAYER; GAN FILMS; GROWTH
AB Measures of the mosaic dispersion of a series of self-nucleated AlxGa1-xN thin films, grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition in a nitrogen carrier gas, have been accumulated by a combination of reciprocal space x-ray scattering patterns and real space images from scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopies. The films are shown to be dense mosaics of highly oriented islands whose in-plane and out-of-plane orientational coherence and in-plane island size decrease with increasing x. The highly correlated reductions in island size and orientational coherence are believed to be attributable to a decrease in surface mobility of reactants, which is independent of nucleation layer or carrier gas.

AB A new continuously tunable submillimeter source for spectroscopy and other high-resolution applications has been developed. In this source the optical spectrum of a mode-locked femtosecond laser is downconverted into the submillimeter region by the demodulation process of a photoconductive switch. The power generated is subsequently radiated into free space by an antenna which is integrated along with the switch on low-temperature grown GaAs. The very high resolution is ultimately traceable to the cavity length of the laser and the stable mode-lock frequency which results. Among the most important attributes of the sources are straightforward absolute frequency calibration, very high spectral purity, and the potential for spectral multiplexing.

AB The Fas/APO-1 Ag, a member of the TNF-R family, mediates apoptosis (programmed cell death, PCD). PCD has been recognized to be important in the regulation of normal and autoimmune responses. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully known. To elucidate the role of the Las Ag in lymphocyte activation, we investigated the influence of Fas Ag cross-linking on CD3/TCR-mediated signal transduction in IL-2-dependent human T cell lines, Early signal transduction events were evaluated in 10-day-old T cell lines using anti-fas and anti-CD3 mAbs. Incubation of Indo-1-loaded cells with anti-Las mAb (10 mu g/ml), but not with an isotypic control mAb almost completely inhibited the anti-CD3-mediated Ca2+ influx, This inhibition was mAb concentration dependent and was detected after incubation for at least 15 min. Cross-linking of the Fas Ag did not affect the anti-CD3-mediated release of Ca2+ from the internal stores or the thapsigargin-mediated Ca2+ influx. Anti-Fas mAb-incubated cells also showed decreased CD3-mediated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production. Preincubation of cells with anti-fas mAb inhibited the anti-CD3-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular proteins. Cross-linking of the Fas Ag for up to 6 h did not alter the expression of CD3 on the surface of the T cells, Preincubation of Indo-1-loaded EBV-transformed B cells with anti-fas mAb did not affect the anti-lr. Ab-induced increase in intracellular calcium ([Ca2+](i)), Our results show that cross-linking of the Fas Ag can suppress the receptor-mediated signaling process in human T but not B cells.

AB Serine esterases and proteases are rapidly and irreversibly inhibited by organophosphorus (OF) nerve agents. To overcome this limitation, we selected several residues that were predicted to be within 3-10 Angstrom of both the active site Ser O-gamma and the oxyanion hole of human butyrylcholinesterase for mutation to His (G115H, G117H, Q119H, and G121H). In remarkable contrast with wild-type (WT) and all other His mutants tested, G117H underwent spontaneous reactivation following OP inhibition to regain 100% of original esterase activity with maximum ks values of approximately 6.8 x 10(-5) and 16 x 10(-5) s(-1) for GB (sarin) and VX, respectively, in 0.1 M Bis-Tris, 25 degrees C. The free energy of activation for k(3) was 19 kcal mol(-1), and measurement of pH dependence suggested that reactivation resulted from an acidic group with pK(a) 6.2. To evaluate further the importance of His in achieving this result, we changed the same Gly to Lys (G117K) and compared its substrate and inhibitor kinetics with those of G117H. Both mutants retained esterase activity with K-m values similar to those of WT for neutral ester hydrolysis, but G117K did not reactivate. Complete reactivation proves that G117H is not irreversibly inhibited but instead functions as a catalyst for OP hydrolysis. Dephosphonylation is the rate-limiting step, and G117H effects overall rate constant enhancements of approximately 100- and 2000-fold above the uncatalyzed hydrolysis of GB and VX, respectively, at pH 6.0, 25.0 degrees C. We conclude that an appropriately positioned imidazolium ion in the oxyanion hole catalyzes dephosphonylation and, thereby, confers a novel organophosphonus acid anhydride hydrolase activity upon butyrylcholinesterase.

AB Burn injury may result from the operation or maintenance of motor vehicles. We reviewed the experience of one burn center with injuries related to motor vehicle use over the 6 year period 1987-1992. One hundred and fifty patients with motor vehicle related burns were identified comprising 11.3% of all admissions for this period. The mean extent of burn injury was 22.8% total body surface area with a mean full thickness (third degree) burn size of 11.7%. The average hospital length of stay was 42.41 days. The most common mechanisms of injury were collisions resulting in fire (n = 48), carburetor priming (n = 37) and scalding from radiator fluid contact (n = 27). Burns resulting from vehicle operation or maintenance are costly and potentially preventable.

ID QINGHAOSU
AB Large differences were observed in the H-1 NMR chemical shift pattern of the protons adjacent to the ether linkages of two diastereomeric artemisinin derivatives. These differences can be explained by the shielding/deshielding effects of the nitrophenyl group on these protons. The crystal structures of these diastereomers (one as the ethyl ester and the other as the acid analog) showed that the nitrophenyl group is positioned on opposite sides of the fused ring system in the two diastereomers. The upfield or downfield H-1 NMR signal of the protons adjacent to the ether linkages [H(10) and H(12)] of the individual diastereomers correlates with whether the phenyl ring sits under or beside the proton. The crystal structure of the acid analog contains an infrequently observed intermolecular hydrogen bond between the carboxylic acid proton and an ether O atom [O(11)]. However, since the NMR spectra in solution are consistent with the crystal structures, packing forces do not appear to be responsible for the orientation of the nitrophenyl group.

ID DEPTH; PERMEABILITY; ADHESIVES
AB Purpose: To evaluate the interfacial morphology (SEM) of two bonding systems to superficial and deep dentin using a reverse-sandwich technique, coupled with measurement of micro-tensile bond strengths (MTBS). Materials and Methods: Superficial and deep dentin disks were prepared from the same tooth in freshly-extracted human third molars. All-Bond 2 (total etch versus no etch) or Imperva Bond (total etch versus no etch) were applied to superficial versus deep dentin surfaces and the two disks were bonded together into a reverse-sandwich configuration. Results: SEM revealed that All-Bond 2 and Imperva Bond applied under total etch conditions formed thicker resin-infiltrated layers (4-8 mu m) on deep dentin than on superficial dentin (2-4 mu m), and that All-Bond 2 and Imperva Bond applied to unetched dentin formed very thin resin-infiltrated layers (less than 0.5 mu m) on both dentin substrates. MTBS of All-Bond 2 and Imperva Bond were more than 20 MPa irrespective of dentin depth and were not significantly different. Without acid etching, the MTBS of both systems to deep dentin was significantly lower than to superficial dentin. These results suggested that for the total-etch systems, dentin depth affected the thickness of the resin-infiltrated layer, but the thickness of the resin-infiltrated layer had no significant relationship with MBTS. The present data also indicated that the acid-etch technique could prevent the decrease of bond strength seen in deep dentin in the absence of etching.

DT Article
ID SCRUB TYPHUS
AB Recent unpublished reports from northern Thailand of severe and sometimes fatal cases of scrub typhus, despite appropriate antibiotic therapy, suggest that resistance may occur. Current antibiotic susceptibility methods that use direct microscopic counts of Giemsa-stained cells or mouse protection assays are slow, labor-intensive, and expensive. We explored the use of flow cytometry to measure rickettsial infection in vitro in L-929 cells treated with and without doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol. It was possible to detect the rickettsiae down to a level of 83% of the cells infected, mean of 37 rickettsiae per cell, and 40% of cells with too many rickettsiae to count. This level of sensitivity was sufficient to determine the inhibitory effect of all four drugs at standard screening concentrations. At lower concentrations of doxycycline, flow cytometry detected inhibition of rickettsial growth at a concentration of 6.25 X 10(-2) mu g/ml but not at 6.25 X 10(-3) mu g/ml, suggesting that the minimum inhibitory concentration is somewhere between these two values. The data from this study show that Row cytometry permits the rapid screening of numerous rickettsial isolates for their susceptibility to a variety of antibiotics, but that visual counts of infected cells provide a more precise indication of rickettsial growth.

AB Plasmodium falciparum parasites develop in the liver before being released into the bloodstream, where they exert the potentially lethal effects characteristic of malaria. Our understanding of the hepatic phase of the life cycle is limited by the parasite's requirement for fresh human liver cells in which to mature. In this work, liver parasites completed their development within a Thai human hepatoma cell line (HHS-102), and the presence of ring-form parasites in erythrocytes overlying the liver cell culture confirmed that an entire liver cycle was completed, culminating in the production of viable blood-stage parasites. The HHS-102 cell line allows investigation of the undefined liver stage of falciparum malaria previously unavailable in the laboratory.

AB Background: Some patients with subepidermal blistering diseases show clinical, histologic, and immunopathologic features of both linear IgA bullous dermatosis and bullous pemphigoid. Such patients can be further characterized by defining the target of their circulating autoantibodies. We present the first case report of a child with linear deposits of IgA and IgG with circulating autoantibodies characteristic of both linear IgA bullous dermatosis and bullous pemphigoid.
   Observations: Widely distributed subepidermal vesicles showing neutrophils in the dermal papillae developed in a 3-year-old boy. Direct immunofluorescence microscopy of perilesional skin revealed linear deposits of IgA, IgG, and C3 in the epidermal basement membrane. The patient responded to therapy with dapsone, and after 6 months, it was possible to discontinue treatment. Circulating IgA antibodies from this child bound the epidermal side of 1-mol/L saline-split skin and immunoblotted the 97-kd linear IgA bullous dermatosis antigen. Circulating IgG antibodies bound the epidermal and, at low titer, dermal sides of split skin. These IgG antibodies immunoblotted and immunoprecipitated bullous pemphigoid antigens 1 and 2.
   Conclusions: Linear deposits of IgA and IgG in the epidermal basement membrane of patients with subepidermal bullous lesions may signify the coexistence of circulating autoantibodies directed against linear IgA bullous dermatosis and bullous pemphigoid antigens.

ID WORKLOAD
AB Background: The initial M43 aviation protective mask was fielded without provisions for optical corrective devices. Contact lenses, an interim solution, were not entirely acceptable since a small segment of the population could not be fitted adequately with contacts. This study evaluated visual performance affects and user acceptance of the M43A1 mask with frontsert correction modifications. Methods: The investigation was divided into three phases: 1) a helicopter simulator evaluation designed to experimentally test the suitability of the M43A1 frontserts, both in single vision and bifocal forms, for use in the aviation environment; 2) a static cockpit evaluation, designed to identify aircraft-specific problems with the frontsert system; and 3) an inflight evaluation to examine the stability and usability of the frontserts under actual flight conditions. The subjects were 30 U.S. Army aviators (28 men and 2 women). Results: Objective data from flight simulation evaluations suggested there were no significant differences between flight performance with and without the mask, despite refractive status. Subjective data from static and flight evaluations reflected positive user acceptance of the new mask and frontserts. Problems may exist in smaller cockpits (OH-58 A/C, D), but evidence suggested that this may have been an artifact resulting from testing the mask while wearing protective body armor. Conclusions Within the range of flight conditions and profiles examined, the M43A1 frontsert system meets U.S. Army aviation needs for optical correction when mission requirements dictate flying with chemical-biological protective masks.

AB The U.S. Army Aviation Epidemiology Data Register (AEDR) was queried for Army aviators with the finding of glycosuria, hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus (DM), use of oral hypoglycemic agents, or use of insulin for the period 1988-92. The study tabulated the incidence and age-specific annual rates of DM, and tabulated the distribution and reasons for aeromedical dispositions of aircrew with DM. U.S. Army aeromedical planners can expect an incidence of 0.47 cases of DM per 1000 aviator-years per year. Aviators over 35 yr old were at the greatest risk. About 78% of the aviators with DM will be removed permanently from Army flying duties. This was due primarily to an inability to gain dietary control of their condition or the discovery of other significant medical conditions, such as coronary artery disease.

Response rates at week I defined by 50% reduction in HAM-D-31 and HAM-D-31 score < 8 were 62% and 27%, respectively. At week 2, however, 65% had a 50% reduction in HAM-D-31 and 62% had a HAM-D-SI score < 8 (chi-square = 6, p = 0.01). Four patients (15%) who were nonresponders at week I responded after 2 weeks. The results show a statistically different outcome after 2 weeks of treatment and suggest the necessity of longer trials of phototherapy.

AB Pyoderma gangrenosum is a poorly understood, ulcerating cutaneous disorder which is rarely seen in the paediatric age-group. We report a 3-year-old boy who developed an ulcer over the left frontoparietal scalp at the age of 1 year. A 9-cm area of underlying cranial bone was destroyed. The appearance on radiographs and CT scan was suggestive of eosinophilic granuloma, osteomyelitis, or other destructive processes. Biopsies of the scalp lesion and calvaria showed granulation tissue and degenerating bone. After the biopsies the scalp lesion increased in size, and wound dehiscence occurred. Ulceration developed at the site of a PPD skin test, which on biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum. Pyoderma gangrenosum should be added to the differential diagnosis of cutaneo us disorders which can result in osteolytic/ostenonecrotic defects.

ID LINEAR-SYSTEMS; GMRES
AB DASPK solves large-scale systems of differential-algebraic equations. It is based on the integration method in DASSL, but instead of a direct method for the associated linear systems which arise at each time step, the preconditioned GMRES iteration is applied in combination with an inexact Newton method. Two parallel versions of DASPK have been developed: DASPKF90, a Fortran 90 data parallel implementation, and DASPKMP, a message-passing implementation written in Fortran 77 with extended BLAS. The parallel versions have been implemented for the Thinking Machines Corporation(TMC) CM-5, a massively parallel multiprocessor, keeping the user interface relatively simple while allowing for portability to other massively parallel architectures, The codes have been demonstrated on several large-scale test problems, including three-dimensional formulations of the heat equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation and a multi-species reaction-diffusion problem. The formulations are described, including detail on preconditioning the Krylov iteration, timing results and performance analysis.

ID FOOT; MANAGEMENT
AB OBJECTIVE - To evaluate bone and soft tissue pathogens resulting from puncture wounds among diabetic and nondiabetic adults.
   RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - We used a case-control design to compare bacterial pathogens in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects with foot infections precipitated by puncture injuries. We used ICD-9-CM code E920.8 to identify 77 diabetic and 69 nondiabetic patients admitted to the hospital for infected puncture wounds. We identified surgical bone and soft tissue cultures and number and type of organisms per culture.
   RESULTS - Nondiabetic subjects had significantly less osteomyelitis (13 vs. 35%, P < 0.01) than diabetic subjects and were infected by fewer organisms. Pseudomonas was the most common cause of osteomyelitis among nondiabetic subjects (P < 0.001). Staphylococcus aureus was more common in diabetic bone (P < 0.001) and soil tissue (P < 0.001) infections. Polymicrobial osteomyelitis was more common in diabetic subjects. There was a longer delay until diabetic subjects received medical treatment compared with nondiabetic subjects (8.7 vs. 5.3 days, P < 0.002). Diabetic subjects were more likely to have neuropathy (P < 0.001) and to have sustained their injuries while barefoot (P < 0.006).
   CONCLUSIONS - Puncture wounds in diabetic subjects were commonly associated with polymicrobial infections. Pseudomonas was the most common cause of nondiabetic osteomyelitis. These results have implications for differential emergent and chronic treatment of puncture wounds in diabetic versus nondiabetic subjects.

ID GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER
AB BACKGROUND: Selenium deficiency has been associated with cancer risk in several organs. This association was investigated in neoplasia of the colorectum. DESIGN: A case-control study is reported with two patient series, colorectal cancer and colorectal adenomatous polyps, and a control group found to be free of colorectal neoplasia. Diagnosis was determined by colonoscopy and histologic review of suspected neoplasms. Serum drawn at the time of colonoscopy was subsequently assayed for selenium content, and quartiles based on selenium were defined. Crude and adjusted odds ratios with 95 percent confidence intervals for adenoma related to selenium were calculated, controlling for known or suspected risk factors including gender, age, race, body mass index, family history, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, serum beta carotene, serum alpha tocopherol, and serum ferritin. RESULTS: There were 138 controls who had no neoplastic disease, 139 adenoma patients, and 25 cancer patients. For adenoma, comparing higher quartiles of selenium to the first (lowest selenium), the adjusted odds ratio for the second quartile was 1.7 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.8-3.7), the third quartile was 1.4 (0.7-3.2), and the fourth (highest selenium) quartile was 1.8 (0.9-4). The odds ratios for cancer patients were 0.8 for the second quartile, 1 for the third quartile, and 1.7 for the fourth quartile. CONCLUSION: No trend could be detected toward a protective effect of higher levels of serum selenium for colonic benign or malignant tumors.

AB Concentrations of magnesium isotopes in the iron meteorites Charlotte, Picacho, Tlacotepec, and Grant between 0.15 and 5 ppbw have been measured by glow discharge mass spectrometry, typically with a precision of 15%. The Mg-25/Mg-24 and Mg-26/Mg-24 ratios are well above terrestrial values in most samples indicating the presence of a component produced by cosmic rays. Inferred concentrations of cosmogenic Mg-26 range from barely detectable to 0.255 ppb by mass. Al-26 and Be-10 activities were measured in the same four and other iron meteorites by accelerator mass spectrometry. Cosmic ray exposure ages based on the cosmogenic Mg-26/Al-26 ratios are comparable to, but not precise enough to distinguish between discordant, published ages obtained from other isotopes. Measured primordial or common magnesium contents are in the range between 0.2 and 4.6 ppb.

AB Because of its presumed high levels of dioecy (separate male and female plants), study of the native Hawaiian angiosperm flora has been important in development of many hypotheses about conditions favoring the evolution of dioecy. The importance of ecological correlates with dioecy has proven difficult to assess, however, because of lack of data on the origins of dioecy in the Hawaiian Islands. Clearly, these correlations are of greater interest in taxa where dioecy evolved in the Hawaiian Islands (autochthonous evolution of dioecy) than in taxa that are the result of dioecious colonists with subsequent speciation in the Hawaiian Islands. Because the Hawaiian flora is small and extremely isolated, colonists can be identified and their breeding systems hypothesized, thus allowing inferences on the origins of dioecy. Using current taxonomic information, the incidence of dioecy in native Hawaiian angiosperm species is 14.7%, lower than previous estimates, but still the highest of any known flora worldwide. Ten percent of the colonists were sexually dimorphic (dioecious, gynodioecious, polygamodioecious, and subdioecious), and over half (55.2%) of current dimorphic species are in lineages arising from dimorphic colonists, showing that dimorphism is high in part because colonists were dimorphic. Autochthonous evolution of dimorphism occurred in at least 12 lineages (e.g., hermaphroditic colonists of Bidens (Asteraceae), the Hawaiian Alsinoideae (Caryophyllaceae), and Hedyotis (Rubiaceae) led to species-rich lineages that include many dimorphic species). One-third (31.8%) of current dimorphic species are in lineages arising from monomorphic colonists. Dioecy in the Hawaiian Islands is a result of both dimorphic colonists as well as evolution of dioecy in Hawaiian lineages from hermaphroditic colonists. The high incidence of dimorphism is not because dimorphic colonists evolved more species per colonist than monomorphic colonists. Detailed studies of individual lineages are critical to elucidate causal factors in the evolution of dioecy.

AB The angiosperm flora of the Hawaiian Islands, with its high incidence of dioecy, has been central in development of hypotheses about the evolution of dioecy. Based on a recent taxonomic treatment of the Hawaiian angiosperm flora, we analyzed biogeographic patterns of dioecy as well as the association of dioecy with ecological traits potentially important in the evolution of dioecy for native current species and genera. We also analyzed patterns for presumed colonists of the flora to control better for phylogenetic patterns in these traits. Dioecy is associated with woodiness, especially trees; however, this pattern does not hold for gynodioecy. Within woody species, dimorphism (dioecy, gynodioecy, subdioecy, polygamodioecy) is associated with mesic habitats and occurs more frequently in species with lowland and lowland-montane distributions. In contrast, in the endemic Hawaiian Alsinoideae (Schiedea and Alsinidendron) and in Bidens (two groups with autochthonous evolution of dimorphism), dimorphism is associated with more xeric habitats, and for the former group, with wind pollination. For the entire angiosperm flora, dimorphic species are associated with flowers that are small and green. Woody dioecious species and genera are disproportionately associated with wind pollination; hermaphroditic species are disproportionately bird pollinated primarily because of one species-rich lineage in the Campanulaceae. There was no association of dimorphism and pollinator type for colonists. Because of a few species-rich lineages, dimorphism is associated with dry fruits at the specific level, but at the generic level and for colonists, dimorphism is associated with fleshy fruits.
   Dioecious and gynodioecious species are found more often on older islands, a result of speciation of dimorphic colonists as well as autochthonous evolution of dimorphism. Single-island endemism is not associated with dioecy in the flora as a whole or with dimorphism within lineages evolving dimorphism autochthonously; thus Baker's law is not supported within the Hawaiian Islands. Because the Hawaiian angiosperm flora originated from a minimum of only 291 colonists, many of the associations of dimorphism with ecological traits occur because of the influence of only a few species-rich lineages. Better knowledge of phylogenetic patterns and further ecological studies, particularly within those groups evolving dioecy autochthonously, are needed to determine causality.

AB Physicians who are responsible for the care of patients with thyroid nodules are increasingly aware of the need for safe, expedient, and cost-effective management of this common disorder. Recent information has led to a questioning of both the safety and efficacy of established management practices for patients with thyroid nodules. Optimal management is contingent on a careful synthesis of factors such as patient preference, clinical and laboratory indicators of malignancy, and a current understanding of the benefit and potential harm inherent in conservative (i.e., nonsurgical) management. The advantages and limitations of various diagnostic tools and management practices are reviewed, and a practical approach is suggested for the evaluation and treatment of the thyroid nodule.

AB Estuarine and marine amphipods have been chosen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in standardized 10-d sediment toxicity tests. An interlaboratory comparison (round robin) was conducted to evaluate the precision of these methods. This comparison included three species, Ampelisca abdita, Eohaustorius estuarius, and Leptocheirus plumulosus. Each species was exposed for 10 d under static, nonrenewal conditions to four sediment treatments using standardized, species-specific test protocols by at least six independent facilities. Sediment treatments were selected for each species to include one negative control sediment and three contaminated sediments. Highly contaminated sediment from Black Rock Harbor (BRH), Connecticut, was diluted with species-specific, noncontaminated control sediment, creating test sediments that ranged in relative contamination from low to high. Laboratories showed strong, logical agreement in rank survival for all species, with control sediment consistently exhibiting the highest survival, and sediment with the greatest proportion of BRH consistently exhibiting the lowest survival. Although instances of considerable interlaboratory variability occurred, laboratories showed acceptable survival and variability in control sediments, significant agreement in ranking sediment toxicity, and agreement in the categorization of sediments as toxic or nontoxic for all three species.

TI CHROMIUM STABILIZATION CHEMISTRY OF PAINT REMOVAL WASTES IN
   PORTLAND-CEMENT AND BLAST-FURNACE SLAG
SO HAZARDOUS WASTE & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
LA English
DT Article
AB The use of cement based systems for solidification and stabilization of hazardous wastes has been proposed. The stabilization of Cr contaminated paint removal wastes in ordinary Portland cement and in a Portland cement and blast furnace slag matrix was investigated. A loading by volume of 75% waste and 25% cement (or cement + slag) was used. The expression of pore solution was utilized to determine the chemical environment encountered by the waste species in the cement matrix. The highly alkaline conditions of ordinary Portland cement determined the stability of the metal species, with Cr being highly soluble. The replacement of 25% of the Portland cement by blast furnace slag was found to decrease the [OH-] of the pore solution resulting in a decrease of the Cr concentration. For cement wastes forms hydrated for 28 days, the Cr concentration decreased in the expressed pore solution. During the TCLP tests the cement waste form and extraction solution were found to react, changing the chemistry of the extraction solution. The expression of pore solution was found to give a direct measure of the chemistry of the waste species in the cement matrix. This avoids the reaction of the TCLP extraction solution with the cement matrix which changes the solubility of the hazardous metals.

ID PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM; SMALL-AREA VARIATIONS; POPULATION; ENGLAND
AB Objective. This study investigates the determinants of primary care office visit rates.
   Data Sources. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa subscriber information was sorted by residence into geographic health service areas. Cost-sharing information was also obtained from Blue Cross. Physician supply data were obtained from The University of Iowa, Office of Community-Based Programs. Hospital data were reported by the Iowa Hospital Association.
   Study Design. Cases were classified into ambulatory care groups (ACGs). Use rates were computed for each group in each service area. Ordinary least squares regression models were developed to model geographic variation in each ACG-specific primary care visit rate.
   Principal Findings. Regression models were not significant for five out of eleven ACGs studied. Out-of-pocket expense significantly affected utilization in three out of six. The number of primary care practices per capita had a significant effect on utilization in two ACGs. The supply of hospital outpatient services was significant in one ACG.
   Conclusions. Study findings reveal that some ACGs are price-sensitive and some are not. Policies aimed at changing levels of primary care use should take into account whether varying cost-sharing will influence consumer behavior,in the desired direction.

AB Following exposure to a stressor, plasma prolactin (PRL) rises in most species. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of social conflict or of footshock stress on PRL responsiveness in male Syrian hamsters. Contrary to expectations, PRL was significantly lower in subordinate hamsters than in their dominant opponents or in controls following one, five, or nine exposures to social conflict. Similarly, PRL was reduced in hamsters subjected to a mild footshock stressor. By contrast, adrenocorticotropin, another stress-responsive hormone, was elevated following exposure to each of these stressors. We also demonstrate that PRL release is inhibited by dopamine as it is in other species by showing that there is a dose-dependent increase in PRL release following treatment with the dopamine receptor blocker, domperidone.

AB Previous experiments have raised the possibility that abnormal oculomotor functioning could be the substrate for visual problems among aviators who use helmet-mounted displays. However, until the present investigation, no direct evidence linked the two. In our experiments, experienced Apache helicopter pilots, using the same helmet-mounted display that they use in flight, viewed Apache symbology and sensor imagery while we measured their accommodation and vergence eye movements in the laboratory. We found three circumstances that frequently occur in flight in which aviators with visual symptoms had different oculomotor responses than did asymptomatic aviators. Further work needs to be done to determine why symptomatic aviators respond differently from asymptomatic ones.

AB A modified field effect transistor (FET) topology is used which enhances the real space transfer of carrier out of the channel toward a special collector terminal. The drain current rises, peaks, and then reduces as gate voltage is increased due to a steep rise in collector current with gate voltage, When biased near the peak, the ac drain current induced by the gate is folded over becoming frequency doubled. The device exhibits functional multiplexing being operable as either a positive transconductance, negative transconductance, or frequency doubling element setable via quiescent gate voltage.

AB A novel method of measuring the relative complex permittivity (epsilon = epsilon' - j epsilon '') and relative complex permeability (mu = mu' j mu '') of material at K-a Band (26.5-40 GHz) using a partially filled waveguide (PFW) (rectangular) and a vector network analyzer (VNA) is presented. The method is based on 1) placing a material sample of length (L) over tilde, width (a) over tilde (waveguide width), and height (d) over tilde less than or equal to (b) over tilde ((b) over tilde is the waveguide height) in a rectangular waveguide, 2) measuring the S-parameters of the sample using the VNA, and 3) inferring the epsilon', epsilon '', mu', and mu '' parameters by comparing the experimental S-parameters with numerically generated S-parameters. The paper presents a method of moments analysis and also a variational formulation of the scattering that occurs from a finite length sample that partially fills a waveguide. Formulas to calculate the complex Poynting power and energy in the waveguide are derived to check the degree to which the numerical solutions obey the conservation of complex power. Numerical methods to extract the material parameters from the S-parameter data are proposed. The experimental PFW S-parameters of a radar absorbing material are measured and its dielectric material parameters are inferred.

AB A new failure mode in ferroelectric, non-volatile memories in a radiation environment has been identified. Exposure to ionizing radiation in combination with a series of unipolar pulses, which could be found in a read-only or read-mostly memory application, has been found to create a preferred memory state in the ferroelectric storage cell. This preferred memory state, or imprint, causes a significant asymmetry in the retention of polarization. While ferroelectric materials remain highly radiation tolerant, a new, more stringent testing method should be adopted for hardness assurance. The creation of a preferential memory state, or 'imprint,' in ferroelectric films and memories has previously only been reported in elevated temperature situations.

Effects of annealing are reported. The measured introduction rates obtained with proton irradiation for energies up to 10 MeV, and for the heavy ions agree reasonably well with Rutherford scattering, NIEL calculations and the TRIM simulation.

AB Background. Although Shigella dysenteriae type 1 has been responsible for large outbreaks of severe dysentery in many parts of Asia, relatively few cases of this disease have been reported from Thailand and have generally not involved nalidixic acid resistant strains.
   Methods. Beginning March 1991, all patients with diarrhoea seen at the hospital outpatient department (OPD) in Suan Phung, Thailand (a western district near the Burmese border) were cultured for enteric pathogens. Shigella dysenteriae 1 was first recognized in July 1992, and an OPD-based case-control study was conducted to pinpoint the source of the outbreak in the community. For each case of culture confirmed S. dysenteriae 1, one control person without diarrhoea, matched by age and date of visit, was randomly selected from the OPD registry.
   Results. Of 197 patients treated for diarrhoea at the hospital OPD in July and August 1992, 79 (40%) had bloody diarrhoea, compared with 86/561 (15%) patients seen during 16 months of previous surveillance (P < 0.0001). Shigella dysenteriae 1 was isolated from 33/197 (17%) patients. Compared to matched controls, patients with S. dysenteriae 1 were more likely to attend one of the local elementary schools (odds ratio = 6.74, P = 0.025), or live in the community surrounding this school (odds ratio for non-school age people = 18.0, P = 0.008). A cross-sectional study conducted at the school indicated that 50 (10%) of 485 students had dysentery in July. A coconut milk dessert prepared at the school was identified as the vehicle of transmission (relative risk = 24.9, P < 0.0001).
   Conclusions. Nalidixic acid resistant S. dysenteriae 1 emerged in a community in Thailand, and was traced to a point source outbreak at a local school.

ID BODY-WATER; EXERCISE; INGESTION; DEHYDRATION; TEMPERATURE
AB Glycerol ingestion has been shown to mediate hyperhydration; however, the mechanism(s) responsible for this improved fluid retention is not well understood. This study examined the hormonal, renal, and vascular fluid responses to glycerol hyperhydration in 11 resting male volunteers who ingested one of two experimental solutions and then a water bolus. The volume of fluid ingested was determined from the subjects' measured total body water (TBW; total volume = 37 ml/l TBW, 1,765 +/- 162 ml). Experimental solutions (5.0 ml/l TBW) were matched for color and taste and differed only in that one contained 1.5 g glycerol/l TBW (total osmolar load = 777 +/- 24 mosmol). Nine of the 11 subjects also completed a control trial during which no fluid was ingested. Glycerol ingestion (GI) resulted in greater fluid retention than the ingestion of water alone (WI; 60 vs. 32% 3-h posthyperhydration, P < 0.01). This improved fluid retention with GI resulted from lower urine flow rates (peak 6.2 vs. 10.5 ml/min, P < 0.01) associated with lower free water clearance rates (peak = 1.2 vs. 8.2 ml/min, P < 0.01). Hyperhydration had no effect on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations. Changes in plasma aldosterone were unrelated to differences in fluid retention. Antidiuretic hormone concentrations (ADH) were significantly reduced from prehyperhydration levels during both hyperhydration trials but tended (P = 0.07) to rise during GI compared with WI at the very time urine flow and free water clearance differences were also evident. This suggests that ADH may, in part, be responsible for glycerol's effectiveness, although differences in ADH concentrations were small and near the assay's sensitivity limits. Alternatively, glycerol's effectiveness may result from its directly increasing the kidneys' medullary concentration gradient and, hence, water reabsorption.

AB There is virtually no published information on muscle fatigue, defined as a gradual decline in force-generating capacity, during conventional dynamic (D) leg exercise. To quantitate progression of fatigue, we developed 1) a model featuring integration of maximal voluntary static contraction (MVC) of knee extension (KE) muscles with ongoing DKE and 2) a device that allows frequent rapid transfer between DKE isolated to the quadriceps femoris muscles and measurement of KE MVC. Eight healthy men performed graded and submaximal constant work rate one-leg DKE to exhaustion while seated. Work rate, a product of a contraction rate (1 Hz), force measured at the ankle, and distance of ankle movement from 90 degrees to 150 degrees of KE, was precisely controlled. Lack of rise in myoelectric activity in biceps femoris of the active leg during DKE and MVC was consistent with restriction of muscle action to quadriceps femoris. The slope of the linear relationship between O-2 uptake and work rate was 13.7 mi O-2/W (r = 0.93). This slope and the increase of heart rate relative to increasing work intensity agreed with published values for D leg exercise. Test-retest values for O-2 uptake were similar (P > 0.05) for matched DKE work rates. To track fatigue, MVC (90 degrees knee angle) was performed every 2 min of DKE. After 4 min of DKE at work rates corresponding to (mean +/- SE) 66 +/- 2, 78 +/- 2, and 100% of peak DKE O-2 uptake, MVC fell to 95 +/- 3, 90 +/- 5, and 65 +/- 7%* of MVC of rested muscle, respectively (* P < 0.01 from previous work rates). Virtually identical declines in MVC were observed by the end of graded work rate DKE and submaximal constant work rate DKE tests. Quantitation of progressive muscle fatigue during D leg exercise provides a framework to study the effects of a variety of interventions on the fatigue process and may permit unique insights into the involved mechanisms.

TI Tendon-healing to cortical bone compared with healing to a cancellous

SO JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY-AMERICAN VOLUME
LA English
DT Article
ID ATTACHMENTS
AB This study was performed to test the hypothesis that attaching a tendon to a trough in cancellous bone results in tendon-healing that is biomechanically superior to that after direct fixation of a tendon to cortical bone.
   Twenty adult female goats were treated with a bilateral tenotomy of the infraspinatus tendon with subsequent reattachment of the tendon, In shoulders randomized to the cancellous-fixation group, a cancellous bed was prepared with a motorized burr and a template measuring twenty by five by five millimeters, The repair in the shoulders randomized to the cortical-fixation group was performed in the same manner, except that the tendon was attached to cortical bone.
   Three outcome measures were assessed, six and twelve weeks after the repair, with the Student paired t test and analysis of variance: load to failure, energy to failure, and stiffness, The types of repair were not significantly different with regard to any of the three outcomes, When the six and twelve-week data were combined, an average difference in load to failure of 3.9 per cent in favor of cancellous repair was observed but it was not significant (p = 0.78). The associated 95 per cent confidence interval for the difference ranged from 10.5 per cent in favor of cortical repair to 18.3 per cent in favor of cancellous repair.
   Histological analysis at six and twelve weeks revealed progressive maturation and reorganization of the bone-tendon interface with re-establishment of collagen-fiber continuity between the tendon and bone, This process was indistinguishable between the cortical and cancellous specimens.
   This study demonstrated no significant benefit from the creation of a trough to expose the tendon to cancellous bone, In this model, at both six and twelve weeks, the tendon-to-bone healing process of the two groups appeared similar and the biomechanical properties were approximately equal.

AB Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of docetaxel in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) resistant to doxorubicin or mitoxantrone.
   Patients and Methods: Docetaxel 100 mg/m(2) was administered as a 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks to 42 patients registered at four centers. Patients must have received at least one but no more than two prior chemotherapy regimens for MBC (in addition to any prior adjuvant therapy). One of the regimens for metastatic breast cancer must have included on anthracycline or anthracenedione and the cancer must have progressed on that regimen.
   Results: Objective responses were seen in 20 of 35 assessable patients (three complete responses [CRs] and 17 partial responses [PRs]), for an objective response rate of 57% (95% confidence interval [CI], 39% to 74%) and in 21 of 42 registered patients (50% response rate [RR]; 95% Cl, 34% to 66%) entered onto the trial. The median response duration was 28 weeks. The most common toxicity in this study was grade 4 neutropenia, which occurred in 95% of patients. Other clinically significant nonhematologic side effects included stomatitis, skin reactions, neurosensory changes, asthenia, and fluid retention, Patients who received dexamethasone premedication had a later onset of fluid retention than those who did nor receive dexamethasone (onset at a median cumulative docetaxel dose of 503 mg/m(2) and 298 mg/m(2), respectively).
   Conclusion: Docetaxel at this dose and schedule has a high level of antitumor activity in patients with treatment-refractory advanced breast cancer, and appears to be one of the most active agents for the treatment of this patient population. (C) 1995 by American Society of Clinical Oncology.

AB Purpose: A phase II study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of docetaxel in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma.
   Patients and Methods: Between June 1992 and March 1994, 40 patients with metastatic malignant melanoma and no prior chemotherapy were treated with docetaxel 100 mg/m(2) administered intravenously over 1 hour every 21 days, None of the patients had brain metastasis. Toxicity and follow-up data are provided.
   Results: One patient had a histologically confirmed complete response that lasted for 14+ months. Four patients held partial responses, bringing the overall response rate to 12.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6% to 30%). A patient with a partial response had a single chest-wall metastasis and was rendered free of disease surgically after a maximal response to docetaxel and remained free of tumor recurrence after 18+ months. Tumor was stabilized in 22 patients. The overall median survival time was 13 months, The main hematologic toxicity was neutropenia, which was severe but transient. Peripheral neuropathy was the limiting nonhematologic toxicity in three patients. Other important toxicities included cutaneous toxicity, fluid retention, oral mucositis, and hypersensitivity reactions, Preadministration of dexamethasone and diphenhydramine reduced the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions, cutaneous toxicities, and fluid retention.
   Conclusion: Docetaxel has definite but low-level activity against malignant melanoma. Further investigation of this drug should be conducted in multidrug combination programs. (C) 1995 by American Society of Clinical Oncology.

AB The response of a wave field to turning winds following the passage of two cold fronts off the U. S. East Coast around St. Valentine's Day, 1991 is studied using data collected as a part of the Surface WAve Dynamics Experiment (SWADE). The data include hourly wind and directional wave observations from National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys, wide-area coverage airborne radar estimates of wind speed and directional wave spectra, and wind and surface current analysis fields from numerical models. The data permit the wave field evolution to he tracked over a three day period and over a large area with both fine temporal and spatial resolution. Initially fully developed under similar to 12 m/s southerly winds, the wave field evolves through a state of mixed wind, sea and swell under westerly winds to a final, purely fetch-limited state under similar to 14 m/s northwesterly winds. Analysis of the directional response of the wave field is complicated by a spell of low and variable winds between the two cold fronts. However, by making use of both spatial and temporal data, we arrive at credible estimates of the directional relaxation parameter as a function of frequency. The inferred relaxation rates, although faster than observed by HASSELMANN et al. (1980), are consistent with the numerical results of YOUNG et al. (1987). The observed fetch-limited growth rates agree with those of WALSH et al. (1989). The remotely sensed winds agree well with the in situ data. The radar spectra agree with the buoy data in higher sea states but exhibit poor response in low sea states.

AB The navigation mission of the US Army Corps of Engineers entails maintenance and improvement of about 40,000 km of navigable channels serving 400 ports, including 130 of the nation's 150 largest cities. The Corps dredges an average annual 230 million cu m of sedimentary material at an annual cost of about $400 million (US). The Dredging Research Program (DRP) was conceived as an applied R&D program to meet documented needs of the Corps' division and district offices for technological advances to optimize its dredging activities. The $35 million (US), 7-year DRP was initiated in 1988. Many distinct products have been developed by the DRP for which annual and one-time direct and indirect benefits are quantifiable. For the first time in the US, a detailed study has been conducted to accurately quantify and document the economic benefits of a federal R&D program. The DRP applied private industry uncertainty analyses to quantify in dollars Corps-wide use of DRP products. A computerized Monte Carlo simulation, skewed to the right, allowed conservative benefit certainty to be developed from DRP benefit estimates. The certainty simulations provide a 90 percent confidence level ascertaining that application of DRP products will benefit the US at]east $14 million (US) annually in 1994, and at least $109 million (US) by 1998, in 1994 dollars.

AB This paper describes field and laboratory measurements of the evolving physical and mechanical properties of first-year sea ice through a growth season. The primary objectives were to (1) examine sample size effects on the in situ strength and constitutive behavior; (2) improve understanding of the interrelations between physical and mechanical properties; and (3) verify models based on small-scale isothermal behavior. Replicate sets of observations were made at a site in Elson Lagoon, near Barrow, Alaska, covering fall, midwinter and spring conditions. Each set consisted of in situ fracture, creep, creep recovery, and cyclic loading experiments and laboratory measurements of flexural strength along with a complete description of the physical properties. In situ experiments employed square double cantilever beam specimens ranging in size from 0.25 m to 30 m. Electromagnetic and acoustic emissions generated by fracturing were monitored. Small-scale isothermal laboratory experiments were performed to profile the flexural strength of the sheet.
