Terahertz signatures of biological-warfare-agent simulants
SPIE Proceedings, 2004ABSTRACT This work presents spectroscopic characterization results for biological simulant materials measured in the terahertz gap. Signature data have been collected between 3 cm -1 and 10 cm -1 for toxin Ovalbumin, bacteria Erwinia herbicola, Bacillus Subtilis lyophilized cells and RNA MS2 phage, BioGene.

Biological Warfare Agents, Toxins, Vectors and Pests as Biological Terrorism Agents
2004The threat and use of biological agents for warfare and terrorism purposes has a long history. As human, animal and plant pathogens and toxin lists will be hard to define we propose several tables of enlisted pathogens and toxins with important criteria on the basis of which a decision can be made to include in or exclude from a list of biological ...

SAMPLING EQUIPMENT FOR BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGENTS
1964Abstract : The Drager pump of the German sampling equipment and the vacuum pump of the American equipment are suitable for taking air samples to examine their germ content. The US equipment, however, has several advantages over the German equipment. These consist (1) of the greater capacity (ca.
