OXIDATIVE STRESS AND AGING Richard Cutler President and Scientific Director, Human Longevity Sciences. Phoenix, AZ Thursday, February 18, 1999, 10:30AM, Lecture Room A, Administration Building. Antioxidant supplements protect your body from oxidative stress damage, but how does one know they are working. To answer this question, a new diagnostic field has emerged. Oxidative Stress Profiling analyzes key markers within your body to determine an individual's level of oxidative stress and level of antioxidant protection. To learn about this exciting field, Dr. Richard G. Cutler will discuss the current measurement technologies used for analysis and outline the importance of monitoring one's level of oxidative stress.

The High Performance Systems and Services Division of ITL is examining potential issues with respect to our SGI Origin services relative to the Cray. We held our first meeting on January 14, 1999. For anyone who missed the Cray upgrade meeting, all the viewgraphs from the meeting are available online at: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div895/sasg/consult/index.html#Cray It is important for Cray users to benchmark their codes on the SGI Origin system, Amur, to uncover potential problems with respect to correctness or speed of the codes. Problems should be brought to the attention of the consultants: By Email : consult@nist.gov By Phone : (301) 975-2968 In person at the Desk : 1:00 - 4:00 pm ET, Bldg 225, Rm A148, Gaithersburg Boulder users may additionally contact John koontz at x5180
