Indoor air flow and pollutant removal in a room with desk-top ventilation

Description: In a furnished experimental facility with three workstations separated by partitions, we studied indoor air flow patterns and tobacco smoke removal efficiency of a desk-top task ventilation system. The task ventilation system permits occupant control of the temperature, flow rate and direction of air supplied through two desk-mounted supply nozzles. In the configuration evaluated, air exited the ventilated space through a ceiling-mounted return grill. To study indoor air flow patterns, we measu… more

Cellular approaches to agricultural genetics. Progress report, December 1, 1975--November 30, 1976. [Potatoes, barley, tobacco]

Description: The intent of this project is to define conditions for the in vitro culture and subsequent regeneration into whole plants of somatic cells of important crop species. Work during this year has focused upon defining the role of several variables in regeneration of cultures derived primarily from potatoes, barley and long term tobacco cultures. Specific variables which were examined included source of the initial explant for in vitro culture, effects of various hormones (primarily 2,4-D and ABA), … more

Nitromethane K-9 Detection Limit

Description: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) trains canine/handler teams to detect explosives for government and other agencies worldwide. After completing the training program the teams are tested on an array containing explosives and numerous other samples designed to distract a canine. Passing this test results in a team's certification. These teams can be considered as ''detection instruments'' freshly calibrated just before leaving the ''factory''. Using these teams to examine special… more

A Measurement Technique to Determine the Sensitivity of Trained Dogs to Explosive Vapor Concentration

Description: Over the years canines have been used successfully to detect explosives. However, exactly what a canine detects in the many thousands of explosive formulations available is still not well understood. LLNL and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) studies over the past four years are beginning to provide better insight into this complex problem. One area that has been addressed is how low a molecular concentration of nitromethane explosive can a canine detect. Forty-one canine/handler t… more

The molecular characterization of the lignin-forming peroxidase. Progress summary report, April 1, 1989--March 31, 1992

Description: This laboratory is committed to understanding the function of plant peroxidases via a multi-disciplinary approach. We have chosen the lignin-forming peroxidase from tobacco as the first isoenzyme to be subjected to this comprehensive approach. The goals which were set out upon the initiation of this project were as follows: (1) utilize a cDNA clone to the tobacco anionic peroxidase to generate transgenic plants which either over-produced this isoenzyme or specifically under-produced this isoenz… more

Altered phenotypes in plants transformed with chimeric tobacco peroxidase genes

Description: Peroxidases have been implicated in a variety of secondary metabolic reactions including lignification, cross-linking of cell wall polysaccharides, oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid, regulation of cell elongation, wound-healing, phenol oxidation, and pathogen defense. However, due to the many different isoenzymes and even more potential substrates, it has proven difficult to verify actual physiological roles for peroxidase. We are studying the molecular biology of the tobacco peroxidase genes, … more
