The same year saw the establishment of the U. S. Army Biological Warfare Laboratories ( USBWL ), responsible for pioneering research into biocontainment, decontamination, gaseous sterilization, and agent purification.

After work by Johns Hopkins University in the 1950s there was a concept for Direct Injection Antipersonnel Chemical Biological Agent ( DIACBA ) where flechettes were grooved, hollow pointed, or otherwise milled to retain a quantity of chemical biological warfare agent to deliver through a ballistic wound.

To do so, the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization provides a reference preparation of the agent, arbitrarily sets the number of IUs contained in that preparation, and specifies a biological procedure to compare other preparations of the same agent to the reference preparation.

The Australian Flinders University Biological scientists Dr Kirsten Benkendorff and Dr Catherine Abbott, investigating the anti-cancer potential of the local species of sea snail Dicathais orbita or Australian dogwhelks found the bioactive compounds involved in the production of a purple dye which have many possible medicinal uses, including a novel anti-cancer agent that proved effective in curing breast cancer.

The army combined elements from the former United States Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command and the former Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization to consolidate the Army's chemical agent and munitions storage and demilitarization functions under a single organization.

Biological warfare ( also known as germ warfare ) is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war.

Biological vectors are often responsible for serious blood-borne diseases, such as malaria, viral encephalitis, Chagas disease, Lyme disease and African sleeping sickness.

* Biological toxicants include bacteria and viruses that can induce disease in living organisms.

Both viruses cause severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates in the form of viral hemorrhagic fevers and both are Select Agents, World Health Organization Risk Group 4 Pathogens ( requiring Biosafety Level 4-equivalent containment ), National Institutes of Health / National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Category A Priority Pathogens, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category A Bioterrorism Agents, and are listed as a Biological Agents for Export Control by the Australia Group.

Biological psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry where the focus is chiefly on researching and understanding the biological basis of major mental disorders such as unipolar and bipolar affective ( mood ) disorders, schizophrenia and Organic Mental Disorders such as Alzheimers disease.

Anakinra is not considered a ' Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug ' ( DMARD ) but rather a ' Biological Response Modifier ' ( BRM ) because its able to selectively target the pathologic element of the disease.

Biological scientists can now manipulate the genetic material of animals and plants, attempting to make organisms more productive or resistant to disease.

The US Biological Program also had a microflechette to deliver either botulinum toxin A or saxitoxin, the M1 Biodart, which resembled a 7. 62 mm rifle cartridge.

Category: Biological toxin weapons

* Biological toxicity, see toxin and poison.

* Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, the use of a pathogen or toxin as a weapon of war

Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of any organism ( bacteria, virus or other disease-causing organism ) or toxin found in nature, as a weapon of war.

Biological control is preferable over toxin use on lawns as crabgrass emergence is not the cause of poor lawn health but a symptom, and crabgrass will return annually if the lawn health is not improved by fertilization and proper watering.

Biological warfare can also specifically target plants to destroy crops or defoliate vegetation.

The US military has specialized units, which can respond to a bioterrorism event ; among them are the US Marine Corp's Chemical Biological Incident Response Force and the U. S. Army's 20th Support Command ( CBRNE ), which can detect, identify, and neutralize threats, and decontaminate victims exposed to bioterror agents.

Biological viruses can reproduce, but only by commandeering the reproductive machinery of cells through a process of infection.

Seed and DNA stocks can be obtained from NASC or the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center.

Biological agents such as parasites, microorganisms, plants and animals can have varied effects when exposed to the skin.

Biological material can provide models for many industrial materials and structures.

Biological toxicity can be difficult to measure because the " threshold dose " may be a single organism.

Two environmental conservation areas can be found in this city: " Delta do Jacuí " ( Jacuí Delta ) State Park and Lami Biological Reserve.

Here one can find Environmental Protection Areas at Itacaré / Serra Grande and the Lagoa Encantada in Ilhéus, the Biological Reserve of Una and the Ecological Reserve of Prainha at Itacaré.

Biological factors can also influence landforms — for example, note the role of vegetation in the development of dune systems and salt marshes, and the work of corals and algae in the formation of coral reefs.

Biological indicators (" bioindicators ") can also be used to independently confirm autoclave performance.

# Biological controls: Natural biological processes and materials can provide control, with minimal environmental impact, and often at low cost.

Biological controls can be used to stop invasive species or pests, or they can be they route by which new pests are introduced.

Biological research: observations on DHS's analyses concerning whether FMD research can be done as safely on the mainland as on Plum Island: report to congressional committees.

Biological control can work using antagonists.

MILES 2 was released in 1991-92, and the SAWE ( Simulated Area Weapons Effects ) add-on was first fielded in 1992 using GPS and RF messages so that vehicles and individual soldiers can be killed from a central location due to artillery strikes, or Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical weapons strikes.

Biological hydrogen can be produced in an algae bioreactor.

Biological hydrogen can be produced in bioreactors that use feedstocks other than algae, the most common feedstock being waste streams.

) from the Una Biological Reservation, in a journey that passes by the beautiful beaches of the Southern coast of Ihéus, the Una Ecopark begins in the middle of a rubber plantation where visitors can see the manual extraction of the sap of the rubber tree.
