  • This second Supplement to the EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Data Base (NSRDS-NBS 63) presents an additional collection of 6557 verified mass spectra of individual substances compiled from the EPA/NIH mass spectral file. The spectra are given in bar graph format over the full mass range. Each spectrum is accompanied by a Chemical Abstracts Index substance name, molecular formula, molecular weight, structural formula, and Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number. A cumulative index has also been issued which provides access to the entire file of mass spectra.
  • This is the report of the Workshop on Opportunities in THz Science, held on February 12-14, 2004 in Arlington, VA. This workshop brought together researchers who use or produce THz radiation for physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and materials science to discuss new research opportunities and common resource needs. The charge from the sponsors of the workshop was to focus on basic science questions within these disciplines that have and can be answered using THz radiation.
  • Data on 13,000 persons 15 yr of age or older obtained during detailed clinical examinations, including radiologically recorded heart size, were correlated with sex, age, height, and weight of subjects to arrive at a standard heart size for Hiroshima residents. The information will be used in investigations of cardiovascular disease in the population. (C.H.)
  • The Radiation Oncology Branch (ROB) is located in the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The occupants of the ROB facility have expressed dissatisfaction with the air-quality within the facility for several years. To identify the sources of the air quality problems in the ROB facility and to obtain recommendations for their solution, the Center for Building Technology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly The National Bureau of Standards) conducted an indoor-quality investigation of the ROB facility. Results revealed several deficiencies in the design and current condition of the ROB ventilation system, suchmore » as significant differences between the design airflow rates and those recommended in current standards and guidelines. The airflow measurements showed many instances in which measured airflow rates were different from their design values and revealed the existence of airflows leading to the potential for pollutant transport within the building. The contaminant measurements fell generally well below the maximum values in the ASHRAE air-quality standard. Thermal-comfort measurements revealed instances when the temperature and relative humidity were outside of ASHRAE comfort limits. Recommendations are made to remedy the deficiencies noted and to control the conditions contributing to the building's air-quality problems.« less
