...some doctors were already recommending amputation. But Dr. Massart was reminded of other stubborn, non-healing sores that he had seen, mainly on aged and debilitated patients; he remembered that such sores had responded to injections of callicrein (Kallikrein in Germany and trade-named Padutin by Bayer), a byproduct of insulin extraction. Why not try the same stuff on the radiation sores? Medical scientists had always considered radiation burns distinct from all other types of injury. Naive or not, Dr. Massart figured that there was little to lose. He gave the technician injections of callicrein...
...some of the remaining photographic experiments that required them to use the thrusters to get into a picture-taking position. Ground control was also worrying about the fuel-cell system again. The process of generating electricity by mixing hydrogen with oxygen was producing much too much of that inevitable byproduct: water. Ground control feared that the spacecraft was running out of storage space for water and that it threatened to back up into the cells and knock them out. Kraft informed Conrad of the problem and asked, "How's that for a surprise?" Cracked Conrad: "Nothing surprises me after...
...space flights. Unlike conventional batteries, they can supply electricity for as long as they are fed their fuel−an ideal trait for long-duration power supplies. They produce electricity through the continuous chemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen, and in the process they form water, a most valuable byproduct...
...tons of uranium ore (which is now in oversupply throughout the world and may in time be available on the open market). This would assure the aspiring nuclear power a yearly output of some 20 kilograms of plutonium, the raw material for bombs, which reactors produce automatically as a byproduct of peaceful operation. The final bridge between a nation's peaceful and military programs is a chemical or gaseous diffusion plant (construction time: two years) to turn the raw plutonium into weapons-grade material...
...DESERT. Director Michelangelo Antonioni's first color film is a provocative, painterly essay on alienation in a young wife (Monica Vitti) whose troubles appear to be a byproduct of heavy industry in Ravenna...
