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 Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report presents the HITEC evaluation plan for U.S. Gypsum's Sight and Sound Screen. The Sight and Sound Screen is a post-and-panel wall system designed to act as a sight and sound barrier for highways and as a privacy system for residential and commercial property owners. The HITEC evaluation will measure the performance of the barrier against the criteria presented in this report, which reflect the needs of the highway community. Although this evaluation plan was tailored to one product, as a service to state and local transportation officials the report was expanded to provide guidelines that can be adapted for use with other types of sound wall systems.
