A method was developed to deposit Bacillus subtilis spores via aerosolization onto various surface materials for biological agent decontamination and detection studies. This new method uses an apparatus coupled with a metered dose inhaler to reproducibly deposit spores onto various surfaces. A metered dose inhaler was loaded with Bacillus subtilis spores, a surrogate for Bacillus anthracis. Fiv...

Sequential titration of infective virus and complement-fixing antigen in brain and liver of suckling mice infected with the following virus strains-Dugbe (a new arbovirus), Congo (related to Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus), yellow fever, dengue 1 and dengue 2-showed a progressive increase in titer after infection. High titers of both infective virus and complement-fixing antigen were demonstra...

An efficient Agrobacterium-mediate transformation method was developed by employing different duration of sonication, Agrobacterium strains, type of inoculation medium and concentrations of acetosyringone in Arya cultivar of wheat. Immature embryos were used as an explant for inoculation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring the recombinant pBI121 plasmid. Among the durations of sonication t...

Non-generic feedback refers to a specific event and implies that performance is malleable, while generic feedback implies that task performance reflects an inherent ability. The present study examined the influences of generic versus non-generic feedback on motor performance and learning in 10-year-old children. In the first experiment, using soccer ball kicking at a target as a task, providing...

Although many attempts have been made to inoculate successfully ,the lower animals with portions of tumors from human beings they 'have in the great majority of cases been without results. In some instances the observers have claimed that they have been successful }rot their statements are, as a rule, not convincing. Carl Lewin 1 discusses this question of transplantation at length and reviews ...
