As a part of the Cyber Command and Control (CC2) initiative within the Information Assurance and Survivability program, DARPA is sponsoring development of a prototype Intelligence Preparation of the Information Battlespace (IPIB) application. This effort attempts to map the kinetic warfare Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB) process to cyber defense. This project addresses three i...

In situ spectroscopy, kinetic studies and computational simulations are combined to study the synthesis of Sn-Beta by solid state incorporation, revealing which parameters influence successful preparation catalyst.

Rat lung homogenates contained significant amounts of guanylate cyclase activity in both 100,000 times g (60 min) particulate and supernatant fractions. In the presence of detergent, the particulate fraction contained 40% as much activity as did the supernatant fraction. Detergent-dispersed particulate and partially purified soluble guanylate cyclase preparations were characterized with respect...

The relative bioavailability of polysaccharide--racemic vitamin E preparation in comparison with a commercial product was assessed in a kinetic study of plasma alpha-tocopherol in rabbits. Six male rabbits were used in a cross-over design. Alpha-Tocopherol levels were determined by the fluorometric method. A secondary peak in alpha-Tocopherol plasma concentration--time profiles was observed in ...

The preparation, structural and steady-state kinetic characteristics of contractile proteins from the leg muscle of frogs Rana temporaria and Rana pipiens are described. Actin and myosin from the two frog species are indistinguishable. The proteins have structural and steady-state kinetic properties similar to those from rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle. Chymotrypsin digestion of frog myosin ...

Single crystal catalysts have been used to investigate ethane hydrogenolysis. The apparatus used in these studies allows for catalyst preparation and surface characterization in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) with an in vacua transfer to a second UHV chamber designed for high pressure kinetic studies. Kinetic measurements on single crystals of nickel show the hydrogenolysis of ethane to be “structure s...
