This document provides an overview of the major research priorities of biotechnology and the use of what is known as "regrowing raw materials" in agriculture in the Federal Republic of Germany. Following an introduction, section 2 addresses biotechnology in agriculture, including biotechnology and genetic engineering, the significance of…

As each Wiswesser Line Notation symbol for a structure containing a branching chain and/or multiplied groups is extracted in a left-to-right scan, the symbol to which it was connected in the graphic formula must be jnown. For highly branched structures the program logic becomes quite complex. (Author)

Construction of the locant path, a table of interatom connections, and the molformula from the WLN for complex ring systems (including polycyclic, spiro, perifused, bridged, and pseudo-bridged rings) is described. The procedure has been programmed for a digital computer and has been found useful in manual decoding also. (Author)

Effects of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) on LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release were studied in 26 normal children and six patients (from 1-to 14-years-old) with Turner's syndrome. (Author)

In this study, nutrition therapy was found to be an important variable in the successful treatment of alcoholism. Traditional treatment methods, such as psychological and institutional approaches, social and group therapy, and chemotherapy, are noted. Research on nutritional needs of individuals has led to an orthomolecular concept which holds…

This report was prepared for use by the professional toxicologist. It contains chapters on ingestion exposure, dermal and dye toxicity tests, inhalation exposure, chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity tests, mutagenicity tests, reproduction and teratogenicity tests, and behavioral toxicity tests. In addition, regulations under the Federal Hazardous…

If biochemical substrates and mechanisms could be identified, progress might be made in the detection and remediation of certain learning and memory disabilities. "Memory transfer" or "behavioral bioassay" methodology is a new technique developed for this purpose. It uses the behavior recipient animals to detect whatever…

Discusses in detail the metabolic pathway that synthesizes glucose from pyruvate. Proposes this pathway as a good teaching example of metabolic aspects of cells. (MLH)
