Science Consortium annual report, FY1990

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5936268

This report synthesizes the results of collaborative research efforts by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), Berkeley, California; Jackson State University (JSU), Jackson, Mississippi; and the Ana G. Mendez Educational Foundation (AGMEF), Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico for FY 1990. The number and quality of interactions among faculty, staff, and students at the three institutions have been at their highest level to date. The Science Consortium funded three joint research projects which dealt with the environment, computer science, and biotechnology/molecular biology. The Computer Database and Models for Human Hemoglobin Genes and Their Functions project will construct a computer database and computer model encompassing the structural, functional and clinical aspects of human hemoglobins produced as as result of mutations in globin genes. The Bioassay of Environmental Toxins project is developing sensitive bioassay for the detection of hazardous agents in the marine environment. The Cloud Chemistry focuses on the importance of aerosol particles in cloud physics. (FL)
