The rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fascicle (riMLF) contains premotor neurons essential for the generation of rapid vertical eye movements. The Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related cytoskeletal changes and beta-amyloid deposits in this nucleus were examined in 30 autopsy cases and compared to the involvement of three associated nuclei - Edinger-Westphal nucleus, nucleus of ...

Experiments were undertaken to understand the relationship between dynamic accommodative refractive and biometric (lens thickness (LT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and anterior segment length (ASL=ACD+LT)) changes during Edinger-Westphal stimulated accommodation in rhesus monkeys. Experiments were conducted on three rhesus monkeys (aged 11.5, 4.75 and 4.75 years) which had undergone prior, bil...

Mice immunized intravenously 10 days earlier (but not those immunized 2 months earlier) with an attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL3261 aroA live vaccine and tested for delayed-type hypersensitivity by injection of crude Salmonella extracts in the footpad can die within 24 to 48 h of an unexplained allergic reaction. The lethal reaction could be prevented by prior administration of anti-tumor ...

The Front Cover illustrates a vortex that engulfs entire laboratory equipment and turns it into single chip unit on the other side. In their Full Paper, H. Westphal, R. Warias et al. present method to study immobilized organocatalysts performance in stereoselective transformations. This is done by utilizing chip-based device combining packed bed microreactor running truly continuous fashion min...

Although endotoxins have been studied intensively by competent investigators during the past several decades, exact relationships between chemical constitution and capacity to evoke characteristic reactions in mammals remain largely unknown. As ordinarily isolated, endotoxins are complexes of lipid, polysaccharide, and protein or peptide-like substances; but the proportions of each have been fo...

This work unit is part of a coupled 6.2-6.4 development effort to implement rapid transition of aerosol prediction and EO tactical decision aid capability to the Fleet and is carried out by NRL-Montery and SPAWAR-SSC. The coupled program will improve the components of the Target Acquisition Weather Software (TAWS) and couple operational EO tactical decision aids (TDA's) to numerical weather pre...
