A portable fluorometric spectral analyzer for rapid field or shipboard diagnosis of Campylobacter enteritis and Shigella dysentery Is proposed for Phase I feasibility demonstration. All living cells are fluorescent and exhibit "fingerprint" spectral patterns that allow for their detection and Identification. The Campylobacter and Shigella bacteria have specific fluorescent patterns that may ...

BONN Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on a methodology that computes an optimal target search in near-real-time, with the capability of accommodating user-definable optimality based upon time / pathlength, probability of target detection target value, and survivability in a dense threat environment. This methodology will be extensible to address multiple airborne platforms and multipl ...

Protein is the most expensive component comprising a catfish feed; thus, a reduction in feed cost can most likely be achieved by either reducing the concentration of dietary protein, by using less expensive plant proteins, or by a combination of these factors. Feedstuffs of animal origin are expensive yet they are generally considered to be essential in catfish feeds. If low-protein, all plant-p ...
