?A Diffusible Agent of Mouse Sarcoma, Producing Hyperplasia of Sympathetic Ganglia and Hyperneurotization of Viscera in the Chick Embryo,? by Rita Levi-Montalcini [8] and Viktor Hamburger [9], appeared in 1953 in The Journal of Experimental Zoology [10]. The paper provided the first evidence that nerve growth factor [11] is a diffusible substance. Nerve growth promoting tumors were implanted in...

Applicability of experimental results to a full-size system depends on the scaling criteria on which the test article/fluid medium is used. This paper presents a careful review and assessment of a number of key parameters which influence fluid stability phenomena relevant to the IFE wall protection schemes, and provides guidance for future simulation experiments. The analysis shows that the non...

Research and financial efforts spent on biodefense technologies highlight the current concern for biothreat event preparedness. Nonhazardous but relevant "simulant" microorganisms are typically used to simplify technological developments, testing, and staff training. The bacteriophage MS2, a small RNA virus, is classically used as the reference simulant for biothreat viruses within the biodefen...
