Lave, Lester B.; Seskin, Eugene P. – Science, 1970
Reviews studies statistically relating air pollution to mortality and morbidity rates for respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and infant mortality. Some data recalculated. Estimates 50 percent air pollution reduction will save 4.5 percent (2080 million dollars per year) of all economic loss (hospitalization, income loss) associated…

Descriptors: Genetics, Medical Research, Nuclear Weapons, Radiation Biology

Culliton, Barbara J. – Science, 1983
The National Institute of Health (NIH) is currently seeking a reduction in indirect costs associated with the awarding of research funds. Various issues related to these costs, which are causing tension between university administrators and academic researchers, are discussed. (JN)
Descriptors: Financial Support, Grants, Higher Education, Indirect Costs

Cohen, Stanley N. – Science, 1977
Makes a case for stressing the beneficial aspects of gene propagation, and answers many questions about the potential hazards of this research. (MLH)
Descriptors: Academic Freedom, Biological Sciences, Ethics, Scientific Methodology

Conner, J. D.; MacLeod, Donald I. A. – Science, 1977
Rod-isolation techniques show that light-adapted human rods detect flicker frequencies as high as 28 hertz, and that the function relating rod critical flicker frequency to stimulus intensity contains two distinct branches. (MLH)
Descriptors: Biological Sciences, Eyes, Physiology, Scientific Research

Epstein, Henry F.; Fischman, Donald A. – Science, 1991
Advances in the genetics and cell biology of muscle development are discussed. In-vitro analysis of the renaturation, polymerization, and three-dimensional structure of the purified proteins involved is described. (CW)
Descriptors: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Cytology, Development

Thomas, Arthur L. – Science, 1982
Describes the federal reporting requirements of faculty time on federally sponsored research projects, their context, uses made of the figures, and reasons advanced for objecting to such reports. (Author/SK)
Descriptors: Budgeting, College Science, Cost Effectiveness, Faculty

Crawford, Allan R. – Science, 1981
Presents the viewpoint of a North American industrialist that the support of basic science by industry is essential for its future growth. (CS)
Descriptors: College Science, Cooperative Programs, Financial Policy, Higher Education

Poizner, Howard – Science, 1981
Reviews a study on deaf native sign language. Indicates that the modification of natural perceptual categories after language acquisition is not bound to a particular transmission modality, but rather can be a more general consequence of acquiring a formal linguistic system. (Author/SK)
Descriptors: College Science, Communication (Thought Transfer), Deafness, Expressive Language

Kolata, Gina Bari – Science, 1981
Reviews the issue of how to preserve the fruits of research in high technology while at the same time avoiding restrictions on researchers' freedom. One solution proposed by Congress and the current administration would prevent technical data from being transferred overseas as well as other restrictions. (Author/SK)
Descriptors: Academic Freedom, College Science, Federal Legislation, Federal Regulation

King, Frederick A.; And Others – Science, 1988
Provides an overview of basic and applied studies for which primates are appropriate subjects. Summarizes the advantages, limitations, and constraints of using nonhuman primates in research. (RT)
