Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of protozoal infections caused by Kinetoplastida, Apicomplexa, Anaerobic protozoa and Mircosporidia comprising 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclohexyl]-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone or a physiologically acceptable salt or other functional derivative thereof as active ingredient and to a method of treating or preventing siad protozoal infections in an animal which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of siad compound.

Abstract: An expendable underwater vehicle for use in training naval forces in anti-submarine warfare in ocean waters, including shallow waters, is between about three to five feet in length and about five inches in diameter, and it includes various improvements which make successful operations in shallow ocean waters, and improved operation in all ocean waters, possible. The improvements include a one-piece nose cup which allows the expendable underwater vehicle to be air launched into shallow water, a scuttle plug which allows water to fill the expendable underwater vehicle after the vehicle is expended and drops to the bottom of the ocean, and rudders and elevators of increased surface area which improve controllability of the vehicle in the water.

Abstract: Novel combinations of an antiprotozoal naphthoquinone and a 4-pyridinol or an alkanoic ester thereof wherein the antiprotozoal activity of the combination is potentiated with respect to the corresponding activity of the components of the combination. The combinations are especially useful for the treatment or porphylaxis of malaria.

Abstract: A sonobuoy having a terminal weight and sensor for deployment beneath the surface of the water after the buoy has been launched from an aircraft and impacted the water. A circuit assembly and antenna for processing output from the sensor and for transmitting a signal is provided. A cable for connecting the sensor and circuit assembly is also included. A housing for the sonobuoy is a blow molded seamless thermoplastic shell which surrounds the circuit assembly.

Abstract: 1,4-Naphthoquinones of formula (I), methods for their preparation, veterinary formulations thereof, and the use thereof in animal therapy are disclosed. ##STR1## Particularly preferred compounds of formula (I) are, 2-[trans-(4-t-butylcyclohexyl)methyl]-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, and 2-[trans-(4-t-pentyl cyclohexyl)methyl]3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. The compounds are of value as anti-protozoal agents, in particular as anti-theilerial agents.
