...Following this wavelength of deconstructing the layout of the store, Schor backtracks to the place she first stopped when we came in, and explains "the decompression zone...
...HETE-2 satellite, which will study not only gamma-ray bursts but also their lingering afterglow of X rays and optical light. Three years later, a larger satellite with keener vision will conduct similar work in more depth. "Classical astronomers thought stars produced a steady emission in one wavelength," says Gehrels. "Now we realize we have all these flashing, transient things going on." Modern astronomers --with their modern machines--may at last determine what some of those strangest things...
...rays. It used to be that the only part of the ultraviolet spectrum you had to worry about was short-intensity, UV-B radiation, which is primarily responsible for sunburns and the most likely cause of skin cancer. But then researchers discovered that UV-A, which has a longer wavelength than UV-B, does more than just promote wrinkles. It can also damage the skin's underlying connective tissue and possibly even dampen the body's immune system. Could UV-A, therefore, play a role in triggering cancer...
...Artie "The One Man Party" alternates between conversation in the studio with Skip and their wowed visitors and occasional 10 second quips on the air between breaks. Artie demonstrates the VoxPro computer system which records all of the phone calls which he receives. The screen displays the sound frequency wavelength of the call so that Artie can go back to edit the conversation later. When heactually plays calls on the air, he is playing theedited version rather than the live version. Atapproximately 9 p.m., Artie congratulates the 12thcaller in a contest to win some arcane collectionof gifts. He points...
...very similar kind of thing," says Moore, comparing his two linemates. "We are on the same wavelength and we know what the other is doing. It just makes the game more fun when you're on the same page...
