Debatable edibles: bioengineered foods.

-We observed the growth of 2 sublines of leukaemia L1210 in histocompatible DBA2 mice given 103 cells i.p. and studied the protective effect of Corynebacterium parvum (CP). The growth of subline 1,1210 -M was unaffected by pretreatment with CP or admixture with 105 peritoneal cells (PC) from CP-treated mice. In contrast, the growth of subline L1210-C was inhibited; CP pretreatment increased the...

In-Suit Sensor Systems for Characterizing Human-Space Suit Interaction

Although the U.S. has studied space suit performance for decades, relatively little is known about how the astronaut moves and interacts within the space suit. We propose the use of insuit sensor systems to characterize this interaction and present our results using pressure sensors and inertial measurement units (IMUs) inside the David Clark Mobility Mock-Up and the Mark III space suit from NA...
