The Internet and the Web are perceived to have a potential impact comparable to the telephone and the printing press. A salient feature of this populist hypermedia is its universality: the Web is so valuable because it thrives from contributions in terms of technology and content from around the world. Despite its value, the Web s utility is limited in various ways: content-and user-neutral tra...

Council on the grounds that protests by animal rights campaigners outside the facility would snarl up traffic and could become a nuisance to local residents. A subsequent public inquiry also recommended that the primate laboratory should not be built on the grounds that it was not of national importance.

Racecadotril, an enkephalinase inhibitor, was subjected to hydrolysis (acidic and alkaline), oxidation, photolysis and thermal stress, as per ICH specified conditions. The drug showed extensive degradation under acidic, basic hydrolysis and oxidative stress conditions whereas, it was stable under other stress conditions. A total of seven degradation products (DPs) were observed. The chromatogra...

It is important to resolve the issue of whether extra infonnation can help assign the probability for failure of a pilot or Naval Flight Officer (NFO) in some phase of flight training. This assigned probability for failure could be based simply on empirical data gathered over some relatively long period of time. However, if scores from selection tests, personality tests, vision exams, psychomot...

Dioxins is a compound family among persistent organic pollutants toxics produced by industrial wastes. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo -p-dioxin (TCDD) is a typical representative of dioxins, which not only exhibits systemic carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, immunotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, endocrine disruption and waste syndrome to humans, but also has effects on physiology and pathology of human ski...

Operating in a dangerously sensor-limited closed environment, submarine sonar operators are plagued by primitive sensory interfaces inherited from earlier hardware designs. The inefficient match to the operator’s perceptual capability is exacerbated as submarines increasingly operate in the littoral where, at now reduced ranges from quieter threat targets, detection requires immediate action fo...

The chimpanzee is the only representative of the Great Apes that is extensively involved in biomedical research in primate laboratories. These apes are used as animal models in a variety of studies, including research on infectious disease, parasitic disease, pharmacokinetic studies, neuroscience, cognition, and behavior. Chimpanzees used in biomedical research in the United States reside large...

Engaging students in research early on in the college experience may help reduce the number of students who drop out of STEM after experiencing one of the gateway courses, such as the introductory laboratory courses. Typical introductory laboratories do not show students the nature of scientific careers, the application of science in everyday life, and how science is interdisciplinary. Undergra...
