Because of its efficiency, a wireless computer could assess a variety of factors in volved in guiding missiles such as computing launch angles far more easily than current technology, scientist...
...Naito used the work of Dr. Geyer, Dr. Clark, and another scientist at the University of Pennsylvania to initiate his own industrial venture. Green Cross subsequently made its own discoveries such as processes for fluorocarbon mass production and stabilization of the substance for freezing. Still the majority of the necessary research was done in the United States...
...current situation could not be less propitious, or the dilemma more obvious. It was articulated clearly by a top Administration military scientist, Richard DeLauer, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, about six weeks after Reagan's original Star Wars speech. The proposed defensive system, said DeLauer, could be overcome by Soviet offensive weapons unless it was coupled with substantial controls on offensive arms. "With unconstrained proliferation" of Soviet warheads, he added, "no defensive system will work...
...epidemiologist with an advanced degree from Harvard. Curran heads the AIDS task force at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, where more than 100 researchers have been working to discover exactly what Gallo claimed to have found. To test Gallo's claim, Curran had provided the NIH scientist with 205 anonymous blood samples, some taken from AIDS patients, some from healthy individuals. To make the test more challenging, samples were included from people with hepatitis and other infections. Gallo's task was to identify which samples had come from the AIDS patients on the basis of whether...
...describe Gallo's isolation of a virus that appears to be the cause of AIDS. "He is going to nail it down cold," predicts AIDS Researcher Anthony Fauci of NIH. But as word of the discovery began to leak out last week-notably in an article in New Scientist magazine based apparently on advance copies of Gallo's papers-a scientific team in Paris rushed to call attention to their own work on an AIDS virus. A Nobel Prize was possibly at stake, and Epidemiologist William Blattner of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) observed: "People are racing...
