...earth's atmosphere, have led to the production of Pyroceram dishes that can go from the housewife's freezer to oven without cracking. The increasing complexity of astronavigation has fostered the development of swifter and smaller computers that find no end of applications on earth. The fuel cell used to supply electric power for Gemini spacecraft is being developed for commercial use, and its production of electricity from oxygen and hydrogen without burning hydrocarbons may be one answer to the smog problem that is increasing all over the world. Some scientists are already speculating about giant orbiting mirrors...
...freezing results in the formation of ice crystals. Some water to make the ice is drawn from inside the cells, many of which are damaged in the process. As the water freezes, its dissolved salts are expelled. The permeability of cell membranes is altered; capillaries are injured; countless enzyme systems are ruined. Much of the damage may not develop until the organ is thawed...
...University of Virginia's Surgeon Leslie E. Rudolf has tried a number of variations, including supercooling with DMSO, under different oxygen pressures, to reduce the cell's metabolism. Dr. Rudolf believes that ways of reducing the metabolism still further may provide the key to preservation of a single whole organ. Even that comparatively modest achievement, starting with a live organ, still lies in a distant future. The prospect of restoring function to a whole human body, with dozens of organs and cell types, which must first be brought back to life, is even more remote...
...catalyst in the making of chlorine and caustic soda for the expanding chemical, paper and plastics industries. A corrosive poison in some forms (mercury bichloride), a therapeutic salve in others (mercury ammonium chloride), fickle mercury also goes in hefty quantities into such disparate products as dental fillings and dry-cell batteries, antibarnacle paint and electrical control apparatus. Hatmakers, however, have ceased using the stuff to soften felt. Reason: poisoned by mercury vapor, almost one U.S. hatter in ten developed shakes and mental disturbances. The resulting cliche, mad as a hatter, survives...
...evident from the moment its opening hisses, murmurs, and shouts began to fill the darkened theatre, while both Her helplessness and humanness came through largely from Miss Mandac's presence on stage. She turned in a superb performance, as she passed from a small chair to a prison cell, a drab bedroom and, finally, a huge bare, rehearsal stage, she movingly conveyed everything from lyrical calm to the hopeless despair which reduced her by the end to shouting "Go away!" at the entire theatre. Berio's score creating exactly the right atmosphere of darkness, supporting Miss Mandac's more lyrical...
