THIS RESEARCH WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING IMMUNOGLOBULINS AGAINST THE OPPORTUNISTIC ENTERIC INFECTIONSOF HIV-INFECTED NEONATES UTILIZING THE COLOSTRUM FROM HYPERIMMUNIZED COWS OR THE EGG YOLK IMMUNOGLOBULINS AVAILABLE FROM HYPERIMMUNIZED CHICKENS. THESE TWO COMMON DOMESTIC ANIMALS WOULD BE IMMUNIZED WITH THE LABORATORY ISOLATES FROM A MEDICAL CENTER TREATING AIDS NEONATES. HETEROGE ...

ARBUS, INC., WILL EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF, AND SUBSEQUENTLY DEVELOP, A COMPUTERIZED PHARMACEUTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATIONAL DOSAGE FORMS. DURING PHASE I, ARBUS PERSONNEL WILL FULLY DEFINE WHAT PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED AND WHAT METHOD IS PREFERRED FOR THE SYSTEM USERS TO INTERACT WITH THE PROPOSED SYSTEM. KEY DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTATION WILL BE DRAFTED CLARIFYING THE COMPUTER H ...

LARGE NUMBERS OF RESEARCH QUALITY AMPHIBIANS ARE NEEDED ANNUALLY FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE SEASONAL SHORTAGES AND INCONSISTENT SUPPLY OF THE BULLFROG, RANA CATESBIANA AND AXOLOTL, AMBYSTOMA MEXICANUM. THROUGH TEMPERATURE MANIPULATION AND HORMONAL INJECTION IT WILL BE SHOWN THAT THESE AMPHIBIANS CAN NOT ONLY BE CULTURED AND CONDITIONED IN CAPTIVITY TO THE EXTEND NEEDED, BUT THAT ...

A STUDY IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMPUTER BASED MODEL FOR ADMINISTERING ASSESSMENT AND THERAPY TO MENTALLY RETARDED/DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED INFANTS AND CHILDREN. THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF PHASE I IS TO SURVEY CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AS THEY RELATE TO THERAPY AND PROVIDE A BASIS FOR A PHASE II RESEARCH PLAN. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE BASED SIMULATION OF A MODEL WILL BE ...

QUALITATIVE ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAVE LEVELED OFF SUFFICIENTLY TO JUSTIFY THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USER, MULTI-FUNCTION, COMPREHENSIVE VISUAL TESTING INSTRUMENT FOR OPHTHALMOLOGISTS, VISUAL SCIENTISTS, AND OPTOMETRISTS. SUCH A SYSTEM COULD BE DEVELOPED WITH RELATIVE EASE WERE IT NOT FOR THE INDUSTRY STANDARD REFRESH RATE FOR GENERATING VIDEO IMAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, 60 HZ IS TOO SLOW FO ...
