THE AIR FORCE REQUIRES STIFF, STRONG, LIGHWEIGHT, AND THERMALLY STABLE MATERIALS. THESE MATERIALS ARE NEEDED FOR ACCURATE METEROLOGICAL DATA GATHERING. IMI-TECH CORPORATION WILL THESE NEEDS THROUGH THE APPLICATION. OF POLYIMIDE CHEMISTRY, REINFORCEMENTS, AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY . WE WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING CELLULAR, REINFORCED MEATERIALS, WHICH HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL F ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR EXTENDING STUDIES RELATED TO THE EVALUATION OF POLYCATION HEXADIMETHRINE (HDM) AND ITS COMPONENTS AS ANTICANCER AGENTS. THESE INVESTIGATORS HAVE DEMONSTRATED A DIFFERENTIAL EFFECT OF HDM ON MIXED LYMPHOCYTE CELL CULTURE (MLC) AND ON L1210 CELLS. AT THE DOSES WHICH INHIBIT (3)H-THYMIDINE INCORPORATION INTO L1210 CELLS BY 50 PERCENT, THE RESPONSE OF THE MLC WAS STIMULATED TWO-FO ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP AN IMMUNOLOGICALLY SPECIFIC ADSORBENT FOR USE IN EXTRACORPOREALSYSTEMS TO REMOVE IMMUNOREACTIVE IGM FROM THE SERUM OF PATIENTS FOR PRIMARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS (PBC). BY STANDARD IMMUNOLOGIC TECHNIQUES, ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN IGM WILL BE ISOLATED. THESE ANTIBODIES WILL BE COVALENTLY LINKED TO SILICA TO PRODUCE A SPECIFIC IMMUNOADSORBENT. THIS ADSORBEN ...

SPIRULINA ALGAE WILL BE USED AS A MEANS TO RECOVER NUTRIENTS FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ALGAE WILL RENOVATE THE WASTEWATER IN A COST-EFFECTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE MANNER ALLOWING RESEARCHERS TO HARVEST AN ECONOMICAL, RELIABLE AND SAFE SUPPLY OF PRO- TEIN. COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF THIS CONCEPT INCLUDE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF A HIGH PROTEIN ALGAE FOOD OR FEED AS WELL AS ...

OVERFISHING HAS DEPLETED NATURAL STOCKS OF BIVALVE MOLLUSCS USED TO PRODUCE PROCESSED CLAM MEAT. PRESENTLY LARGE CLAMS ARE SHUCKED, EVISCERATED AND REMAINING MEATS EITHER MINCED OR SLICED INTO STRIPS. IF THE WHOLE MEATS OF JUVENILECLAMS COULD BE USED TO MAKE THESE PRODUCTS, THESE COULD BE CULTIVATED IN MASS PRODUCTION IN A FEW WEEKS AND PROCESSED INTO VERY INEXPENSIVE PRODUCTS. RESEARCH IS PROPOSE ...

SUFACE PASSIVATION LAYERS SUCH AS DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON ARE OFTEN PRODUCED ON LASER WINDOWS, WIND SHIELDS OF HYPERSONIC AIRCRAFT, FIBER OPTICS AND MANY OTHER SURFACES. DESPITE ATTRACTIVE PROPERTIES OF THE COATING MATERIALS, LACKING OF PROPER ADHESION BETWEEN HOST AND COATING MATERIAL FREQUENTLY LIMITS THE USEFULNESS OF THE COATING TECHNIQUES. THE PROPOSED PROCESS IS A PRE-TREATMENT TECHNIQUE WHICH P ...
