Orcas is a two-movement work for chamber orchestra embodying traditional forms with twentieth-century timbres, textures and rhythms/ It is scored for twenty-two strings, six woodwinds, three brass and one percussionist. The purpose of this work is to make a contribution to the chamber orchestra literature which employs both traditional and contemporary elements, textures and styles.

This five movement cantata is scored for large SATB chorus, bass and soprano soloists, piano, organ, and percussion (2 players). The text, sung in Hebrew, comprises selections from the Psalms, Isaiah, and the Jewish daily prayer book. A transliteration into the Roman alphabet and an English translation (not for singing) are provided.

The problem addressed in this paper was the appropriateness of fiber, especially in the form of fabric, as an art medium. Relevant statements by crafts makers, philosophers, art critics, and artists were investigated along with historical and contemporary art and craft works.

The ability of various subsets of human mononuclear cells to produce human lymphotoxin (LT) was examined. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were seperated into OKT4+. OKT8+ and Leu-lla+ subpopulations by flow cytometry.

The number of tissue eosinophils were counted and phospholiphase B activity was assayed in the intestines of nonsensitized and sensitized and sensitized mice infected with Trichinella spiralis.

the toxic effects resulting from acrylic monomer exposure can pose as occupational risk factors for those involved in the manufacture, distribution, and use of the monomer and as potential risk factors for those accidentally exposed. This study is a toxicological assessment of the in vivo (intact animal) and in vitro (isolated human cell culture) responses to acute methyl (α)-chloroacrylate (MCA) exposure.

Physiological and behavioral effects of exposure of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) to selenate-selenium (Se) and nitrite were investigated.

Enzymatic activity has been identified in cultured cells which catalyzes the removal of intact mono(ADP-ribose) residues which are bound to protein at arginine. Other activities have been detected which catalyze the removal of ADP-ribose via the sequential removal of AMP and ribose-5-phosphate.

The effect of ribavarin (1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide), a synthetic nucleoside, on a series of cellular properties which characterize the transformed state was studied using normal rat kidney cells (NRK) and cloned derivatives transformed by a wild type avian sarcoma virus, B77-NRK, and by a temperature-sensitive mutant of the virus, LA31-NRK.

Glycopeptidolipid (GPL) antigens isolated from Mycobacterium intracellulare were used to sensitize BALB/c mice. Primary footpad challenge of mice sensitized with GPL antigens suspended in phosphate buffered saline demonstrated an increased footpad swelling reaction.

This research deals with the changes in cellular morphology of Azotobacter vinelandii cultured on nutrient agar. In particular, this study is concerned with the formation of intracellular particles and a description of their size and sequence of appearance. Changes in morphology of Azotobacter vinelandii grown on nutrient agar are contrasted photographically with morphology of Azotobacter vinelandii grown on Burk's nitrogen free medium.

The effects of rat fibroblast interferon and a retinoid (Ro 10-9359) on the transformed state were investigated using normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblasts and its derived cell lines, B77-NRK, transformed by temperature-sensitive mutants of Rous sarcoma virus.
