...supplies the chromium atoms (one for every 5,000 aluminum atoms) that cause the laser action. Excited Atoms. Both ends of the crystal rod are highly polished and silvered to act as mirrors, one highly reflective, the other partially transparent. Wrapped around the rod in the form of a coil is a flash tube similar to the strobe lights used by photographers...
...come in a variety of shapes and sizes as well as prices, all of them work on the same basic principle of dialysis, or "separating through." The patient's blood, loaded with body wastes that his own diseased kidneys cannot remove, is piped from an artery into a coil or container made of permeable cellulose. This is immersed in a swirling bath, containing bloodlike salts and acids, known as dialysate. The blood's impurities (but not the blood cells or vital proteins) pass into the bath through minute porosities in the cellulose, and then go down the drain. Some models...
...York Philharmonic, has many qualities that have made Harris, at 70, an important American composer: logical structure, transparent textures and a broad melodic sense.

In the second section, an elegiac fugue turned slowly on itself, then began to meander...
...than a speeding bullet, but they can also do things like liquefy and multiply, or fell a foe with a laser-beam glance.

Yet of all the offspring of TV's comic book culture, the most lethargic is Video Boy. He doesn't do anything. He just sits there, sucks his thumb and stares at the tube...
...within five days; on July 22 about 100 people were killed and 300 injured in a series of shocks that struck 50 towns near Adapazari. Like previous Turkish quakes (see map), the latest disasters were located along the Anatolian Fault, a particularly lethal segment of the earthquake belts that coil around the globe. Along the Anatolian Fault, some 40,000 persons have lost their lives in eleven earthquakes since...
