The results of the administration to healthy beagles of a secondary antigenic stimulus (booster dose) of Leptospira canicola and infectious canine hepatitis virus (ICH) are reported. Twelve previously vaccinated animals were used. Six were exposed to a 335 r dose of x-irradiation. Three controls and three irradiated dogs received the booster dose two days after the irradiation and the remaining...

OBJECTIVE Work breaks are underutilized opportunities to promote health. The Booster Break program is a co-worker led physical activity group session devoted exclusively to standard 15-minute work breaks. The purpose of this study was to report the fidelity, attendance, feasibility, and sustainability of the Booster Break program and to explore its potential impact. PARTICIPANTS The study sit...

We investigated the chlorine plasma reaction with graphene and graphene nanoribbons and compared it with the hydrogen and fluorine plasma reactions. Unlike the rapid destruction of graphene by hydrogen and fluorine plasmas, much slower reaction kinetics between the chlorine plasma and graphene were observed, allowing for controlled chlorination. Electrical measurements on graphene sheets, graph...
