| Authors:
Dennis Perzanowski; Brian Potter; NAVAL RESEARCH LAB WASHINGTON DC
|
| This report describes InterFIS, a syntactically based natural language interface to a model-based expert system, FIS (Fault Isolation Shell). FIS diagnoses probable cause of failure of avionics in an interactive troubleshooting session and assigns blame by using probabilistic reasoning. InterFIS provides the FIS user with a non-tool-specific interface and permits linguistic complexity and paraphrasability in natural language interactions. InterFIS, driven by the Proteus chart parser, maps syntactic-semantic representations into domain ... |

I. G. Grishkin; FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY DIV WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OHIO
|
| In patients with protracted and chronic broncho-pulmonary tuberculosis positive reactions to streptococcal and staphylococcal allergens are found. Allergic tests were often positive in patients with simultaneous afflictions of the lungs and nasopharynx. The frequency of positive tests did not increase significantly with the progression of pulmonary tuberculosis. Intradermal tests with bacterial allergens subthreshold doses have a sufficiently high degree of specificity. |

|
| The observations give evidence that the stimulus for Morgan's toxicoinfection, being for Rhesus monkeys conditionally pathogenic and not inducing in artificial infection the appearance of an infectionary process, on x-ray irradiation of these animals at sub-lethal doses, produces the development of a severe process of infection concluding in a number of cases with the animals' death. The illness, appearing in relation to irradiation, does not differ as a whole from ... |

|
| The successful hybridization of Proteus with E. coli chromosomal genes provides a potentially useful model for studying molecular genetics with a combined genetic and biophysical approach. It is now conceivable to expect that bacterial hybrids consisting of appropriate portions of chromosomal genes derived from various genera will be constructed. Such hybridized strains would be useful for the investigation of virus-bacterial host interactions, the genetics basis of bacterial virulence, evolutionary and ... |

| Attempts to produce L-forms of fungi were unsuccessful. Examination of the biosynthetic pathway to ornithine in 2 L-forms and their parent bacteria, two yeasts and seven Mycoplasma revealed a similarity between Mycoplasma, L-forms and bacteria. Likewise the mechanism of biosynthesis of lysine in Mycoplasma and bacterial L-forms is bacterial-like. Preliminary studies on the nature of forces binding membrane subunits together to form the cytoplasmic membrane of Mycoplasma indicate involvement of ... |

| Authors:
CORNELL UNIV NEW YORK MEDICAL COLL
|
| The studies indicate that oxygen is effective in killing C. perfringens and C. tetani in vitro. However, oxygen under pressure (at 30 p.s.i.a.) is no more bactericidal than air at atmospheric pressure (15 p.s.i.a.). Furthermore, blood and muscle markedly inhibit the anticlostridial effect of oxygen. Protection of mice against death from infection with C. perfringens can be demonstrated only if the model is carefully chosen. Oxygen will not protect mice ... |

| Conditions favorable to the survival of microorganisms in the frozen state are now quite well defined and there is evidence that the method is sufficiently reliable for the maintenance of stock cultures. The obvious disadvantages in comparison to the more tedious freeze-drying process include the shorter anticipated storage life and the risk of mechanical failure in refrigeration. However, in actual practice, a limiting factor in the use of this technique ... |
