| Authors:
William T. Matthew; ARMY RESEARCH INST OF ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE NATICK MA
|
| A micro-computer controlled system for 10 channel high precision temperature data acquisition has been developed. The temperature sensing elements are Platinum Resistance Thermometer Devices (RTD's). Probe construction, using standard, commercially available RTD elements is described and wiring and switching requirements for the 4-wire resistance measurements are noted. The system consists of a Digital Equipment Corp. MINC-11 Computer linked, via IEEE-488 interface bus cables, to a HP (Hewlett-Packard) 34555A Digital Volt/Ohm ... |

| Authors:
R. L. Farrand; ARMY ARMAMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMAND ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD CHEMICAL SYSTEMS LAB
|
| Because of public and political opinion, rising costs, and regulations, the use of some types of laboratory animals has been limited. As a result, small mammals - in particular, white rats - have become an acceptable alternative to canines for use in toxicological testing. In this report, a method is described by which unanesthetized and comfortably restrained rats are exposed by inhalation to yield fairly complete pulmonary information. |

|
| The price the Corps of Engineers paid to acquire Crystal Springs Ranch fish hatchery in Twin Falls County, Idaho, has been extremely controversial because many people in the area associated with the trout farm industry believe the price was too high. In addition, steelhead trout, which will be raised on the site, could possibly be purchased from commercial hatcheries at a substantial savings to the Government. In view of the ... |

| DNA may be regarded as a program for constructing and maintaining an organism. The field of Automatic Programming studies computer programs which synthesize new and different programs, or which modify and improve themselves. When DNA molecules do this, we call it Evolution. Biological research has to date identified several mechanisms which change DNA (substitution, insertion, deletion, translocation, inversion, recombination, segregation, transposition, etc.) Current theories assume the basic process of evolution ... |

| The pathogenesis of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was studied in 42 cattle experimentally infected with different isolates from Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Nineteen of the cattle died or were terminated in extremis 3-60 months post inoculation. Nine of 11 isolates tested produced central nervous system (CNS) disorder in the cattle. The CNS disorders developed early (3 months) in some animals and later (60 months) in others. Parasites were difficult to find ... |

| Cell-associated syncytiogenic viruses were previously isolated from a calf (72-P-535) with experimentally induced malignant catarrhal fever. The isolate recovered from leukocytes was investigated by studying its growth and cytopathology in low passage fetal bovine cells. Antigenic studies with this virus and other 72-P-535 isolates using direct and indirect immunofluorescence techniques revealed that each isolate was related to agents of the measles, canine-distemper, rinderpest group. The 72-P-535 leukocyte isolate induced polykaryons ... |

| In areas where public health and sanitary conditions are such that man comes in frequent daily contact with animals in his environment, rodent- borne human diseases are an important health hazard. Because of the year-round warm, humid climate in the tropics, inhabitants of such areas spend a considerable portion of their time out of doors. In tropical nations, such conditions are conducive to less than optimal health conditions; frequently the ... |
