We are developing methods to derive gene transfer vectors capable of accomplishing targeted gene delivery to metastatic breast cancer cells. In this regard, strategies have been explored to modify adenoviral vectors by altering their binding tropism. Genetic methods employed have allowed for the modification of the native adenoviral binding protein (fiber) to incorporate cancer-relevant cell-binding ligands. Immunologic methods have yielded an antifiber antibody which specifically ablates...

The Air Force Air Logistics Centers (AF-ALCs) generate large quantities of sludges from their industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWTPs). While these sludges are not toxic based on toxicity characteristic leachant procedure (TCLP) values, these are still classified as "F-waste" (e.g., F002, F005, F006) since the waste waters originate in plating and other metal finishing operations. The Acurex-Battelle Team (ABT) was contracted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/MLQ) to...

Three types of experiments have been carried out to determine interface properties: single fibre pull out, transverse tests on unidirectional composites and peel tests on single fibres. The pull out tests were shown to give misleading results: interfaces which pull out suggested were as strong or stronger than the matrix, yielded transverse strengths which were low, and transverse fracture surfaces which had abundant bare fibres on them. Transverse tests showed that composites are weakened by...

This grant began with a collaboration between Oncormed and Dr. Timothy O'Leary from the Department of the Army. Dr. O'Leary was to provide the samples for the evaluation of the Molecular Staging Assay and its applications for detection of micrometastasis in breast cancer. The samples Dr. O'Leary provided were from a retrospective study. When these samples were collected, the protocols in use at the time were not compatible with retaining the genetic material intact. As a result, the DNA that...

The HER-2/neu proto-oncogene is developmentally expressed as a 185 kDa trans-membrane tyrosine Idnase. Overexpression of HER-2 occurs in up to 30% of human adenocarcinornas and has been most extensively studied in breast and ovarian cancers, where it predicts poor prognosis for survival of the patient. Although HER-2 gene amplification is a common mechanism for overexpression, many human tumors and cell lines display HER-2 mRNA and protein overexpression in excess of the level accountable by...

We investigate the reliability of a semi-automated system designed to locate the Maltese front from satellite AVHRR and SAR imagery.

A spectrum of higher-order schemes is developed to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in finite-difference formulations. Pade type formulas of up to sixth order with a five-point stencil are developed for the difference scheme. Viscous terms are treated by successive applications of the first derivative operator. However, formulas are also derived for use in a mid-point interpolation-differentiation strategy. For numerical stability, up to tenth-order filtering schemes are developed. The...

Mutations of the APC tumor suppressor gene are linked to a number of hyperplastic events in humans and in mice, including breast cancer. Recent evidence indicates that the APC gene product may play an active role in the wnt-1 signaling pathway as a regulator of cytoplasmic B-catenin, a known mediator of transcription. Cytoplasmic B-catenin signaling may contribute to the transformation of cancerous cells, mediating the acquisition of a more aggressive, invasive phenotype. This project proposes...

Disseminated malignancies are commonly treated with cytotoxic agents (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation) which target the unregulated growth associated with tumors. However, many of these procedures have proven unsuccessful due in part to the acquired resistance of cancer cells to these regimens. Mounting evidence suggests that one underlying mechanism by which malignancies are protected from cytotoxic agents is through aberrant activation of a pathway generally referred to as the "stress...

Nuclear weapons will continue indefinitely to play an indispensable role in U.S. national security policy: as a hedge against uncertainties, to deter potential aggressors who are both more diverse and less predictable than in the past, and to allow the United States to construct a more stable security environment. Recent nuclear tests by India and Pakistan make it clear that nuclear weapons remain part of the security setting. The aggressive pursuit of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons...

The document provides the central message for DoD, that in the 21st century, every DoD element must focus on supporting the operations of the Unified Commanders in Chief (CINCs). Everything else that DoD does from furnishing health care to developing weapons should support that effort. Recommendations made throughout the report seek to concentrate all of DoD's activities toward that end. Military operations are planned and conducted by joint forces under the direction of the CINCs, not Military...

Because education in the United States is largely determined at the state and local levels, there has been considerable interest in how the performance of students in individual states compares with each other, with the United States as a whole, and with other nations. The comparison of state performance with other states and the nation as a whole is made possible by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). In 1996, NAEP assessed mathematics and science in the United States. The...
