Docket Number: 95-061R. Applicant: University of Southern
California, 1540 Alcazar, Bldg. CHP 155, Los Angeles, CA 90033.
Instrument: 3-Dimensional Motion Analyser, Model Vicon System 370.
Manufacturer: Oxford Metrics, Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use:
Original notice of this resubmitted application was published in the
Federal Register of August 10, 1995.
Docket Number: 96-095. Applicant: The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, Chemistry Department, CB #3290, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-
3290. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Spectrophotometer, Model SF-61DX2.
Manufacturer: Hi-Tech Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used in kinetic studies performed on oxidation-
reduction chemical reactions between ruthenium and osmium based metal-
organic complexes and several classes of substrates including: the
catalytic oxidation of water, oxidations of organic compounds and
electron transfer reactions between metal-organic complexes in
solution. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: September 5,
1996.
Docket Number: 96-096. Applicant: University of Vermont, College of
Medicine, Burlington, VT 05405. Instrument: IR Mass Spectrometer, Model
Deltaplus. Manufacturer: Finnigan MAT, Germany. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used for studies of amino acid and protein
metabolism in humans to elucidate how the body regulates amino acids
and protein in the body, how it handles dietary intake and how other
nutrients (e.g. carbohydrate and fat) interact with them. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: September 10, 1996.
Docket Number: 96-097. Applicant: Northwestern University Medical
School, Department of Cell Biology, 303 E. Chicago Avenue--Ward 7-143,
Chicago, IL 60611. Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model JEM-1220.
Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be
used for studies of the molecular architecture of tissues, cells and
isolated molecules obtained as part of the experimental data derived
from biomedical research projects. The relationship between cell
structure and function will be investigated. The experiments will
involve determining alterations in cells during different physiological
activities and in pathological states. In addition, the instrument will
be used for educational purposes for graduate students, postdoctoral
fellows, medical students and dental students and faculty. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: September 11, 1996.
