Threats of domestic terrorism and international news about germ warfare research have forced us to recognize the potential menace of biological weapons. Both smallpox and anthrax could be used as biological weapons. It is important for physicians to reacquaint themselves with these diseases, because if a domestic attack were to occur, it might first be recognized when patients with unusual symp...

In this paper, we present the use of Principal Component Analysis and customized software, to accelerate the spectral analysis of biological samples. The work is part of the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences sponsored Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats Center, establishing linkages between environmental pollutants and preterm birth.
