Next Generation Software: A Microarray Experiment Management System. Co-PIs: N. Ramakrishnan, R. G. Alscher, L. S. Heath, L.T. Watson, J. Weller EIA-0103660, $600,000, 09/01/2001–08/31/2004. This project supports the design and implementation of Expresso a system for microarray experiment management. The NSF NGS program specifically calls for innovative software designs for emerging application...

The present experiments have been undertaken to measure the permeability of the human erythrocyte to sodium and potassium; to determine the temperature coefficient of these two permeabilities; and to investigate the relationship between external concentration of sodium and potassium and their relative permeabilities. In addition, thermodynamic constants of these two processes have been measured...

Amongst the contributions to the theory of LDPC codes deriving from finite geometries ([13], [12], [9]), we present a study of the code C which has as parity-check matrix H the incidence matrix of the Hermitian curve of PG(2, q) and the q + 1-secant to it. The good performance of C with iterative decoding algorithm is showed by Johnson and Weller in [11]. In this paper we prove the ”double” cyc...

Fellow Society members, distinguished guests, and friends. My sincere thanks to Scott Halstead for his generous introduction. Also, I thank the membership of the society for giving me the privilege to serve as President, for there is no honor greater than recognition by one's peers. I also wish to thank the U.S. Army for a wonderful career in medical re search—but for the record let me say th...

Born in 1944, I grew up in a world in which polio was both a gripping fear and real threat. Then in a matter of a few years-polio was eradicated by a vaccine developed by Jonas Salk. Later I learned that Salk's efforts were built on pioneering work of many others, including John Enders, Thomas Weller and Frederick Robbins (Nobelists, 1954), and David Bodian, who pioneered studies of polio patho...

A continuous culture system suitable for maintaining certain rumen protozoa was developed by modifying the procedure of Walter and Pilgrim (R.A. Weller and A.F. Pilgrim, Br. J. Nutr. 32:341-351, 1974) to include a dialyzing system. The concentration of ciliate protozoa, the pH value, and concentrations of volatile fatty acid and ammonia-N could be maintained within normal rumen limits for more ...
