Detection of Biological Warfare Agents

Peer-Reviewed Literature:

The use of a laser in place of a mechanical keratome for flap creation was a turning point in the field of refractive surgery. Visible and near infrared laser light are absorbed by the refractive structures of the eye and allowed to pass freely into the eye without effect at low-power densities. At high-power densities, the nonlinear optical properties of the cornea lead to absorption, generati...

Autism: Peer‐Reviewed Analysis

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that involves social, language, sensory, and motor deficits, behavioral abnormalities, and may also be associated with mental retardation. Kanner coined the term “autism” in 1943 to characterize a group of children in whom he identified a complex set of characteristics that clustered together, including abnormalities in social development, verbal and...

Biological warfare.

Dr. Lederberg, a research geneticist, is past president and Sackler Foundation Scholar, The Rockefeller University. He was a pioneer in the field of bacterial genetics with the discovery of genetic recombination in bacteria. In 1958, at the age of 33, Dr. Lederberg received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this work and subsequent research on bacterial genetics. Since 1966, he has been concerned...
