AN IBM-AT-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL SYSTEM-CAMREAD-IS PLANNED. CAMREAD IS AN INEXPENSIVE, REAL-TIME IMAGE-PROCESSING SYSTEM WITH THE CAPABILITY OF HIGH-SPEED CHARACTER RECOGNITION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF CONVERTING PRINTED DOCUMENTS INTO MACHINE-READABLE RECORDS. DIFFERENT FROM OTHER COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE EXPENSIVE MONOFUNCTIONAL READING MACHINES, THIS SYSTEM HAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES. FIRST, IT IS A ...

DUE TO THE DOWNSIZING OF AUTOMOBILES ON U.S. HIGHWAYS, MINI-CARS HAVE BECOME A MAJOR PART OF THE AUTO POPULATION. THE LIGHT WEIGHT AND HIGH CRUSH RATE OF THESE VEHICLES CAN CAUSEHIGH VELOCITY CHANGE LEVELS WHEN IMPACTING MOST EXISTING BREAKAWAY LUMINAIRE SUPPORTS. THIS INCREASES THE PROBABILI-TY OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTSOF MINI-CARS WHEN IMPACTING LUMI- NAIRE SUPPORTS. CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WH ...

IN SPITE OF THE COMMON USE OF SKIN GRAFTS AND SKIN FLAPS IN PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS STILL ARISE. THE COMPLETE OR PARTIAL NECROSIS THAT CAN OCCUR IN SURGICAL FLAPS OR GRAFTS IS DUE TO PROLONGED TISSUEISCHEMIA THAT COMPROMISES TISSUE BLOOD FLOW. PROMPT REVASCULARIZATION OF THE GRAFT OR FLAP BY ANASTOMOSES AND NEOVASCULARIZATION IS A MAJOR DETERMINANT OF THE SUCCESS ...

INCREASINGLY STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING PLACED ON THE DETECTION AND ACCURATE CHARACTERIZATION OF TOXIC ELEMENTS INENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.

THE HUMAN HERPES VIRUS TYPE 6 (HHV-6) IS A NOVEL HERPES VIRUS ISOLATED FROM FRESH HUMAN BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS. ALTHOUGH NOT EXCLUSIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS), HHV-6 MAY PLAY A ROLE IN LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE ABNORMALITIES. AS A RECENT VIRUS ISOLATE, LITTLE IS KNOWN OF THE BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF HHV-6, AND FEW REAGENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO INVESTIGATORS IN THE FIELD ...
