...help. One of the government's latest initiatives is the New Earth 21 project, which is aimed at meeting the threat of global warming. As envisioned by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, it will promote two activities: the development of technologies designed to reduce production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and the sharing of those methods with developing countries. miti is financing an ambitious effort to generate clean-burning hydrogen, which would not contribute to global warming, by using genetically engineered bacteria. There are also tax breaks and low-interest loans available for environmentally sound industrial...
...women in October, Jack Kevorkian has again charged into the center of the debate over physician-assisted death. According to Geoffrey Fieger, his lawyer, the Detroit doctor counseled Susan Williams, 52, for months and was at her side last week when she took a dose of "self-administered carbon monoxide." Williams suffered from severe multiple sclerosis that had left her incapacitated and blind. "Her life, for all intents and purposes, was meaningless," said Fieger. He insisted that his client, the inventor of a suicide machine, had not assisted in the death. Fieger said Kevorkian would turn himself over...
...woven fibers that offer greater strength and can maintain sail shape better in all directions, making the sail more able to adjust to wind changes. America 3's technical director, Heiner Meldner, a physicist who once designed nuclear weapons, says his sails are a composite of fibers, including carbon and liquid-crystal polymers. The Italians use a woven carbon-and-Kevlar fiber glued to a Mylar backing...
...researchers transplanted the gene for PHB from the bacteria into relatives of the mustard plant. Using energy from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air, the plants manufactured significant amounts of phb. Unfortunately, the process also stunted their growth. But eventually, Poirier expects, scientists will learn how to regulate the hybridization procedure well enough to keep these plastic producers healthy, and perhaps one day alleviate guilt over discarded bottles and wrappers...
Rescue workers described charred bodies hanging from unscorched trees, indicating that some of the victims were already burned when they fell out of the sky. Autopsies also disclosed lethal doses of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide in body tissues, proving that the fire and explosion occurred while the passengers were still breathing. I. Irving Pinkel, a former NASA expert who also investigated Apollo 1's fatal fire, found two fuselage holes with an "outward pucker," indicating an explosion from within. Finally, four members of the refueling crew swore there was no icing problem before the plane took...
