Combat Orders

Combat orders are written or oral communications used to transmit information pertaining to combat operations. 

FM 100-5 —Field Service Regulations (paragraphs 88, 89, 263, 268, 443, 514, FM 101-5 —StaflF Officers Field Manual-The StaflF and Combat Orders (para-... 

Human bodies are constantly exposed to a plethora of bacteria, viruses, and other inflammatory substances. To combat these infections and toxic agents, the body has developed a carefully regulated inflammatory response system. Part of that response is the orderly migration of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. Leukocytes literally roll along the vascular wall and into the tissue site of inflammation. This rolling movement is mediated by reversible adhesive interactions between the leukocytes and the vascular surface. 

Taking this into account I look forward to a productive NATO Summer School with new motivation to shift to energy conservation techniques of the new millennium in meeting Kyoto Targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat climate change. 

In order to combat this, the rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) techniques can be employed. An in-depth discussion of how this technique works is outside the remit of this book but suffice to say, in the ROESY methods (1- and 2-D), NOE data is acquired as if in a weak r.f. field rather than in a large, static magnetic field and this assures that all NOEs are present and positive, irrespective of tumbling rate and magnet size. It is possible that some TOCSY correlations can break through in ROESY spectra but these will have opposite phase to the genuine ROESY correlations and so should therefore not be a problem - unless they should overlap accidentally with them. A 2-D ROESY spectrum of the naphthalene compound is shown below (Spectrum 8.6). 

CSF levels in normal human serum are usually low or undetectable. During infections, the immune system responds by activation of leukocytes, and often this is accompanied by an increase in numbers of specific leukocytes in the circulation in order to combat the infective agent. Thus, it is not surprising that many pathogens activate CSF production, which then results in increases in numbers of progenitor cells in the bone marrow and spleen, and subsequent increases in numbers of mature leukocytes in the circulation. 

The need to standardize olfactometric measurements is growing in the Netherlands. In 1984 interim limit values on odour concentrations were published in the Indicative Multiyear Programme to combat Air Pollution 1985-1989. This is a revised version of the 1983 proposal (3, 5). In 1988 or 1989 these interim limit values will be laid down in a General Administrative Order. By that time a standardised olfactometer must be available. In the meantime air quality standards will be set for about 30 so called priority substances. For some of these, well defined threshold values are necessary. On behalf of... 

We had made it easy for the volunteers by providing for all their basic needs, and scheduling their tasks in an orderly manner within a clearly demarcated life space. It was clear that greater realism would have shown even more plainly how completely disabled a similar team would be in an actual combat environment. In a more realistic situation, stimulus overload would undoubtedly cripple their capacity to function. 

The temperature tuning coefficient of TeOa is 0.025 nm/°C, so it is clear that in order to combat the effects of thermal heating of the crystal due to incident optical and aconstic power, as well as environmental considerations, a good level of thermal control is needed. This can be in the form of a thermo-electrically cooled enclosure. This will deal to a certain extent with the need to achieve analyzer wavelength repeatability. However, it does not address the issue of wavelength reproducibility between AOTF modnles, which impacts the transportability of calibrations and datasets between analyzers. 

Other actors of the public sector and the civil society can contribute to combating counterfeit medicines. Purchasing organizations and NGOs should seriously consider the risk that their operations can be affected by counterfeits and develop appropriate procurement procedures and be vigilant on the field in order to be able to signal suspected cases. 

It is on this basis that WHO has lead the establishment of the International Medical Product Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce, IMPACT (www.who.int/ impact). IMPACT aims at gathering and mobilizing all key stakeholders at the international, regional and national level in order to effectively combat counterfeit medicines within the guiding principles enshrined in the Declaration of Rome (Box 7).
