The Radiation Monitoring Container Device [is made of various components]. In the Radiation Monitoring Container, layers of cosmic ray detectors and bacteria spores(Bacillus subtilis), maize seeds(Zea mays), and shrimp eggs(Artemia salina) are sandwiched together and enclosed on all sides by dosimeters, gauges that measure radiation doses. The radiation detectors are sheets of plastic materials(TS 16 and CR 39) that record the tracks of cosmic rays three dimensionally. The dosimeters are made of lithium fluoride and magnesium-silica-terbium, which are thermoluminescent materials. When moderately heated after exposure to radiation, these materials emit visible light proportional to the dose of radiation received. The experiment in its box-like container is mounted on the aft end cone of the Spacelab, an area where radiation shielding is somewhat lower than in other locations. The specimens in the device are exposed to cosmic radiation throughout the IML-1 mission. 3, record 6, English, - radiation%20monitoring%20container%20device

In the framework of the multicentre evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity(MEIC) programme, the first ten chemicals of the prescribed list were tested for acute toxicity in four standardized cyst-based aquatic invertebrate tests, consisting of two rotifer species(the estuarine Brachionus plicatilis and the freshwater Brachionus calyciflorus) and two crustacean species(the halophilic anostracan Artemia salina and the freshwater anostracan Streptocephalus proboscideus). 1, record 7, English, - cyst%2Dbased%20toxicity%20test
