Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF Innovation Center. This report outlines the HITEC Technical Evaluation Plan for large seismic isolator and energy dissipation devices. The plan is designed to characterize the fundamental properties and performance characteritics of a wide range of devices produced by U.S. and overseas manufacturers. It describes a program of full-scale dynamic tests, the results of which should provide guidance to the transportation-engineering community regarding the performance of large seismic devices.

Papers from the June 1995 symposium describe recent discoveries in the genetics, biochemistry, biology, pharmacology, and clinical aspects of neuropeptide research. After a history of the field, coverage includes the use of transgenic and knockout mice in neuropeptide research; CRF- receptor subtypes; individual differences in responses to the behavioral actions of peptides; new peptide-processing enzymes; neuropeptidase gene regulation; interactions and coexistance of neuropeptides and serotonin in spinal autonomic systems; and peptide modulators of serotonin pathways.

Prepared by the Environmental Technology Evaluation Center (EvTEC), a service center of CERF/IIEC. This Technology Verification report describes the nature and scope of the environmental evaluation of the performance of the Plasma Enhanced Melter? (PEM?) system for waste treatment. The evaluation was conducted through a cooperative program established in 1998 between the Washington State Department of Ecology, Integrated Environmental Technology Inc., Allied Technology Group, and the Civil Engineering Research Foundation. The goal of this report is to provide potential users and purchasers of the PEM? system with information they need to make more informed decisions regarding the performance of PEM? as an equivalent or alternative to incineration for treating hazardous waste.
