Administration Building, Urbana, IL 61801. Instrument: Upgrade and
Replacement Parts for Asphalt Testing Equipment. Manufacturer:
Industrial Process Controls Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: This is
an upgrade for existing instrumentation that will be used for studying
asphalt concrete with the objective of improving design of asphalt
concrete in highway and airfield pavements. Application accepted by

produced during studies of the transient behavior of hydrocarbons
produced by internal combustion engines. The
[[Page 62288]]
objectives of these studies are to extend the fundamental understanding
of the hydrocarbon formation process, to extend the fundamental
understanding of how engine transients affect this hydrocarbon
formation and to understand the difference in hydrocarbon formation
between steady-state and transient operation of the engine. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 30, 1997.

Microscope, Model MSM. Manufacturer: Singer Instrument Co., Ltd.,
United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for
dissecting the spores formed during genetic crosses of the mutants in
yeast that are essential to extending studies on the biochemistry,
regulation and genetics of the amines, putrescine, spermidine and
spermine and of the biosynthetic enzymes in S. cerevisiae. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 31, 1997.
Docket Number: 97-094. Applicant: Centers for Disease Control,
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 1095 Willowdale
