RS-593 Variant Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
Published Sunday, July 11, 1999Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) has been identified as a significant economic drain in the poultry (chiefly, chicken) industry. Estimated costs due to damage caused by IBDV infection are several million dollars annually. IBD is caused by virulent field viruses that cause highly contagious immunosuppressant disease condition, which exacerbates...

Continuous Particle Separation
Published Monday, April 12, 1999Separation of biological particles - specifically separation of Polyhedral Inclusion Bodies (PIBs) - from tissue and debris associated with production of virus using insect hosts, is a very difficult procedure. Typically separation is not accomplished. Instead the host insect is processed in its entirety leading to a very impure and diluted final...

Scanning Single Electron Transistor Microscope for Imaging Room Temperature Objects
Published Monday, April 5, 1999The occurrence of wiring defects in computer chips and multi-chip modules is a serious manufacturing problem. Most types of circuit faults can only be localized to more-or less definite regions on a chip simply because they produce failures in a region of the circuit. However, if the circuit defect could be precisely located, then the likely cause...
