BROACH warhead

Development of BROACH began in 1991 when Team BROACH consisted of British Aerospace RO Defence, Thomson-Thorn Missile Electronics and DERA.

Clinical chemistry

Urinalysis - chemical analysis of urine for a wide array of diseases, along with other fluids such as CSF and effusions

Haijiu-class submarine chaser

Original SJD-3 sonar on earlier Type 037 class submarine chaser is replaced by a 13 kHz (2 frequency ranges) French Thomson Sintra SS-12/DIP 12 hull mounted (HM)/variable depth sonar (VDS).

Khalid bin Sultan

At the end of the 1990s, Prince Khalid had business contacts with French electronics group Thomson-CSF.

Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel Project

Fenco sub-contracted various portions of the project to first tier subcontractors Thomson‐CSF Canada, MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates, Tecsult Eduplus Inc and Halifax Dartmouth Industries.

Post viral cerebellar ataxia

A more complicated test that is performed for research analysis of the disease is to isolate viruses from the CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid).

Thomson-CSF

The semiconductor businesses of Thomson CSF was merged with Finmeccanica.

::Evaluation of novel immune-based therapies using interferons, GM-CSF, G-CSF, thalidomide, IL-2, IL-12, cyclosporin (CsA), prednisone, cytotoxic agents, therapeutic immunization

Bohol Island State University

These were the: Bohol Agriculture College (BAC) in Bilar; Bohol School of Arts and Trade (BSAT)in Tagbilaran City; Bohol School of Fisheries (BSF) in Cogtong, Candijay; Clarin School of Fisheries (CSF) in Clarin; and Calape National School of Fisheries (CNFS)in Calape.

The Collège de la Sainte Famille (CSF) (English: School of the Holy Family), (Arabic) مدرسة العائلة المقدسة often referred to as "Jésuites", is a private Jesuit French school for boys in the Faggala (preparatory and secondary section), Daher (primary section), and Heliopolis (primary section) districts of Cairo, Egypt.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis

In EG cytokines IL-3, IL-5 and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may be behind the recruitement and activation.

History Teachers' Association of Victoria

As an organisation it represented teachers of History in the development of the Victorian Certificate of Education, the Curriculum and Standards Framework (CSF) and it successor the CSFII and more recently AUSVELS.

Interleukin 10

IL-10 is capable of inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-3, TNFα and GM-CSF made by cells such as macrophages and regulatory T-cells.

Interleukin-5 receptor

In fact, the β-subunit of the IL-5 receptor is also found in IL-3 and GM-CSF receptors where it is associated with IL-3Rα and GM-CSFRα subunits respectively.

Intermittent explosive disorder

Impulsive behavior, and especially impulsive violence predisposition has been correlated to a low brain serotonin turnover rate, indicated by a low concentration of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Jennerex

To engineer JX-594, human GMCSF gene (encoding granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor or GM-CSF; driven by a synthetic early/late promoter) and lacZ gene (encoding β-galactosidase or β-gal; driven by the p7.5 early/late promoter) were inserted into the TK gene (encoding thymidine kinase or TK) in the J segment of the Wyeth strain vaccinia virus.

Malcolm A. S. Moore

In collaboration with Amgen, recombinant G-CSF (Neupogen) was developed and in 1987 the first clinical studies were begun at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in cancer patients and pediatric patients with a genetic form of neutropenia.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1

The expression of this gene can be induced by a subset of cytokines, including IL2, IL3 erythropoietin (EPO), GM-CSF, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ).

Victorian Essential Learning Standards

In the state of Victoria, Australia, the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) is the curriculum framework for Preparatory to Year 10 school levels, which replaced the Curriculum and Standards Framework II (CSF 2) in 2006.
