|
| Problems resulting from the use of low-Cetane Number (CN) JP-8 in military diesel engines are mainly caused by the poor autoignition quality of the fuel that requires a long period between the start of injection and the start of combustion. A detailed analysis of the processes which occur during the ignition delay period clearly shows that the start of combustion is preceded by a long period where the Low Temperature ... |

| Modern medium and heavy duty Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) diesel engines take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies to deliver excellent performance while meeting the most stringent emissions legislation. While some of these technologies offer significant advantages in terms of engine efficiency, performance and weight versus traditional military engines, others are driven purely by the need to meet emissions standards. In order to successfully adapt these COTS engines for military use ... |

| The circumsporozoite surface protein is the primary target of human antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites, these antibodies are predominantly directed to the major repetitive epitope (Asn-Pro-Asn-Ala)n, (NPNA)n. In individuals immunized by the bites of irradiated Anopheles mosquitoes carrying P. falciparum sporozoites in their salivary glands, the antirepeat response dominates and is thought by many to play a role in protective immunity. |

| The introduction of prototype heavy-duty hybrid vehicles introduces a number of challenges in assessing emissions performance compared to conventionally powered diesel or gasoline-fueled, heavy-duty vehicles. Difficulty is encountered because the engine may be operated on an intermittent basis (as a function of load or state of charge of the energy storage system) and in a narrow speed/load range. An engine test alone would not characterize the hybrid vehicle's emissions or ... |

| A unique contribution of this program is the discovery of potentiation of botulinum neurotoxin (BoTx) A protease activity by tyrosine phosphorylation. This key finding underscores the requirement to screen for potential blockers using the pharmacologically relevant target, namely tyrosine phosphorylated neurotoxin, presumably the biologically active form within the cells. A most exciting outcome is the ability to design peptides that selectively block neurotransmitter release. The proteolytic products of the BoTx ... |

| This program is aimed at the molecular characterization of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoTxA) domains implicated in its potent neurotoxicity. The N- terminal half of the heavy chain (HC) forms ion channels in lipid bilayers. We demonstrated that a synthetic peptide denoted BoTxATM, with sequence GAVILLEFIPEIAIPVLGTFALV (659 - 6811) contained in the HC, forms ion channels when reconstituted in bilayers. In contrast, a peptide with the same amino acid composition as ... |
