 | Physicians, hospitals, and other health care facilities will assume the responsibility for aiding individuals injured by a terrorist act involving radioactive material. Scenarios have been developed for such acts that include a range of exposures resulting in few to many casualties. This consensus document was developed by the Strategic National Stockpile Radiation Working Group to provide a framework for physicians in internal medicine and the medical subspecialties to evaluate and ... |

| The options for the treatment of dermatophytosis being limited, an effective and safe antifungal therapy is highly desired. Fungi-Free(TM) has the potential for use in the treatment of dermatophytosis. Guinea pigs are susceptible to dermatophytosis similar to humans. Their large body surface provides sufficient area to perform experiments. Thus, a guinea pig model of dermatophytosis has been used in efficacy studies of antifungal agents. |

|
 | A biorepellent matrix structure comprises a resin and first and second microcapsules suspended in the resin. The first and second microcapsules each includes a first shell and a second shell respectively, containing a biorepellent material that is released upon penetration of any of the first and second shells, as for example, by a biological organism. The biorepellent material, such as capsaicin diffuses through the first and second shells at different ... |

| Product Manufacturability: Part 5. |
SEP 1989 |
|
| Authors:
J. P. Tanner
|
| Automated assembly, whether for circuit cards or complete products, requires that manufacturability becomes a primary concern of the product design team. The product must be designed so that it can be assembled as a stacked or layered assembly, with all components installed from one direction, usually from above. This allows gravity to assist in the feeding and placing of parts. Excessive lifting and rotating of parts during assembly should be ... |

| Software can make a computer do almost anything. As the computer and its software proliferate on the factory floor, software is also helping manufacturing do almost anything. Software is ensuring that product designs are producible, controlling processes and material consumption with decimal-point accuracy, sending data electronically between manufacturers and subcontractors, helping management meet market needs faster and more creatively than the competition, and more. This special section takes a look ... |

| Electric steelmaking depends on the availability of large tonnages of high quality ferrous scrap. The UK scrap industry has invested heavily in the development of plant to process scrap more efficiently and meet the quality demands of the steelmaking industry. There is also a large export market for British scrap; 3.6 million tonnes, worth L258 million, were exported overseas last year. (Copyright 1989 by the Institute of Metals, London, England). ... |

|
| Our quest for better quality, lower costs, and faster production is behind the use of high-performance sensors in manufacturing. Machine vision systems, smart sensors, electronic and electro-mechanical gages, and coordinate measuring machines now make all sorts of measurements in factories. And there are plenty of parameters to be measured-liquid and gas flow and the level, motion, pressure, temperature, and position of an object. These sensors are made possible by fiber-optic, ... |

| The increased complexity of modern technology requires, however, novel ways of using sensor information. Sensors not only cooperate, sensor information must be convolved, electronic hardware for signal handling must be optimised for efficiency as well as rapidity and decision-making algorithms must be developed. The aim is no longer to select the optimal sensor or even the optimal sensor channel; instead we have to optimise complex systems containing, besides the sensors, ... |

The demand for greater precision in the measurement of distances using US techniques, makes it necessary to compensate for alterations in the sound-speed in the interposed medium due to temperature. In this paper we will describe a method for calculating this correction in order that ... |

| Authors:
M. Greenberger; M. Shea; D. L. Kaplan; A. M. Kaplan; ARMY NATICK RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER MA
|
| In order to compare the effectiveness of fungicidal treatments, wool felt sheet was treated with three fungicides and evaluated for resistance to leaching and microbial deterioration in soil burial, The dihydroxydichlorodiphenyl methane (G-4) treatment was nonprotective against microbial deterioration and the salicylanilide treatment was only marginally protective. Copper-8-quinolinolate was the only fungicide, in this study, that provided durable protection against biodeterioration in soil burial. The data suggest that copper-8-quinolinolate should ... |

W. C. Feist; FOREST PRODUCTS LAB MADISON WI
|
| The natural look of wood siding, and the retention of that look, has become increasingly popular over the past several years. Many new commercial formulations are being offered for use as clear natural wood finishes. A successful finish will retain color, control mold and mildew, and minimize weathering. Some of these formulations contain a chemical as a mildewcide (fungicide, preservative) and/or a water repellent, and some do not. Several chemicals ... |

|
| Insect-Resistant-Treated (IRT) food sacks were evaluated for mold resistance under field conditions, and in the laboratory using plate, tropical chamber and soil burial tests. Penetration of fungal growth through the layers of the multiwall food sacks was also evaluated. Mycotoxin production was determined using known aflatoxin-producing fungus strains as controls. This determination was needed because 15 of the 69 strains of fungi isolated from the food sack samples used in ... |

|
| A new approach has been used both in the laboratory and in field trials, to study the development and performance of special vulcanizates used in sealing applications. The use of conventional, monomeric fungicides has been replaced by polymeric organotin compounds covulcanized into the rubber network. Polychloroprene, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and ethylene-propylene terpolymer are three rubbers commonly used in military equipment and these have been shown to covulcanize with tributyltin acrylate in ... |

| Treating wood surfaces with aqueous solutions of inorganic chemicals by simple brush applications can: retard degradation of the surfaces by ultraviolet irradiation; enhance effective use of polymer coatings transparent to UV; reduce the swelling of wood by water; impart a degree of fungal resistance to the surface and surface coatings; serve adequately as natural exterior finishes. Effective treatments were ammonium chromate, ammonium copper-chromate, ammonium copper-chrome-arsenate, cupriethylene diamine, copper molybdate, and ... |

| XM205 nonmetallic cartridge case materials were prepared with several concentrations of the fungicide zinc pyrithione. The fungicide was used either to treat kraft fibers of the case material formulation prior to the felting operation or was applied as an after-treatment by vacuum impregnation of formed sheets of the case material. The treated case materials were tested for fungus resistance. The results of the tests show that: (1) The control cartridge ... |

| Results are presented concerning the use of liquid polymers as coatings for fibrous and nonfibrous substrates to provide improved weapon accessories such as gun covers and cleaning kit packets. Both pigmented and nonpigmented coatings were investigated. Application of solvent-diluted polymer coatings to woven substrates caused a significant loss in cross-direction breaking strength. Base or tie coats (consisting of liquid diamines applied to the substrate prior to application of liquid polymers) ... |

Marvin Greenberger; Arthur M. Kaplan; ARMY NATICK LABS MASS
|
| White cotton fabrics treated to contain 9 to 12% methylolmelamine resin, which should be sufficient for optimum long-term environmental protection, were subjected to extended soil burial and outdoor weathering exposure. Fabrics treated to contain 9 to 12% methylolmelamine resin by the 'Arigal' process and the 'dry-cure' process of Berard were quite resistant to microbiological degradation during extended soil burial. Despite differences between processes, all treated fabrics containing 9 to 12% ... |
