 | Millimeter wave (MMW) source technology has advanced significantly allowing the use of 94-GHz MMWs as a non-lethal weapon. The Air Force Research Laboratory has developed such a non-lethal weapon known as the Active Denial System (ADS). The purpose of this study was to determine the threshold for behavioral aversion to 94-GHz MMW exposure in rhesus monkeys. Aversion was defined simply as an eye blink, head turn, or raising the hand ... |

| Recently, a millimeter wave (MMW) hardware system, called Active Denial System (ADS) has been developed for use as a non-lethal weapon system. The ADS system is capable of generating high power MMWs and is to be used for, but not limited to, crowd management and denying access to restricted areas. ADS achieves this end by using a 94 GHz MMW beam to produce rapid skin heating to a temperature that ... |

| The objective of this project is to develop an in vivo damage model for the study of the mechanisms underlying retinal injuries and other neurodegenerative disorders. For this purpose the small snake eye with its unique suite of ocular properties, combined with the imaging capabilities of the confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope model was selected. Progress has been made in three areas of research necessary to establish the snake eye as ... |

| This study examined the role of oxidative stress and the effect of a single dose treatment with N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on the temporal development of acute laser-induced retinal injury. We used the snake eye/Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) model, an in vivo, non-invasive ocular imaging technique, which has the ability to image cellular retinal detail and allows for studying morphological changes of retinal injury over time. For this study 12 corn-snakes (Elaphe ... |
