60064-3095. Instrument: Electrode Puller, Model PD-5. Manufacturer:
Narishige Co., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for
investigations of the cellular and network properties of the nervous
system in the marine mollusk Tritonia diomedea that underlie decision-
making and learning. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
July 20, 1998.
Docket Number: 98-038. Applicant: The Salk Institute for Biological
Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037. Instrument:
Diffractometer and X-Ray Generator, Models DIP-2030H and MO6X.
Manufacturer: MAC Science Co., Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to collect x-ray diffraction data
from crystals made with certain biological macromolecules in order to
study phenomena such as signal transduction, ion conductance and
protein DNA recognition. The experimental plan will consist of
purifying the proteins, crystallizing them in an optimum condition in
the wet bench laboratory, then recording the diffraction pattern using
the x-ray instrument and imaging plates system. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: July 24, 1998.
Docket Number: 98-039. Instrument: Laser Optics, Version 2.
Manufacturer: Radiant Dyes Laser Accessories, GmbH, Germany. Docket

Spectron Laser Systems, United Kingdom. Applicant: Princeton
University, Purchasing Department, Armory Building, 110 Washington
Road, Princeton, NJ 08544. Intended Use: The instruments will be used
for studies of the atmospheric constituents sulfuric acid and water.
Experiments will consist of mixing sulfuric acid and water vapors and
ionizing them with multi-photon ionization using the Nd-YAG and dye
lasers to determine the rate of formation of particles from sulfuric
acid and water mixtures. Applications accepted by Commissioner of
Customs: July 30, 1998.
