Advanced Fire Suppression Technology (AFST) Research and Development Program (1997)

Wilson, M. A., Moran, J. D.

Halon 1301 has been widely used in aircraft fire suppression systems because of its ability to efficiently extinguish fires. Unfortunately, halon production was banned in 1994 because it is an ozone...

Kinetic analysis of the amplification phase for activation and binding of C3 to encapsulated and nonencapsulated Cryptococcus neoformans.
