...suppose you were to return home one day and find a stranger camped out in your living room and peacefully eating the ham sandwich you saved for dinner. You would be tempted to throw him out in the street. Almost everyone could agree that you had the right to eject...
...Games have previously posed problems for the Taiwanese. In 1959 the I.O.C. voted to eject the Chinese National Olympic Committee, as Taiwan's members were then known, in an initial attempt to add mainland China to the organization. In the 1960 Rome Games the Taiwanese participated under a compromise similar to the one they rejected last week. Later, the I.O.C. accepted the name Republic of China, and in the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympics the Taiwanese took part under that designation...
...workshop and praised it to General Washington, who later described it as "an effort of genius." But Bushnell has been having trouble with the vessel: the pump broke down and had to be replaced; the ventilator had to be altered to draw in fresh air through one tube and eject stale air through another. To help out, the Connecticut Council of Safety decided last February to award Bushnell £60 to carry on his work...
...outside the company, this description emerges: Kodak will introduce at least two cameras, one priced at about $40, the other possibly ranging up to $180, v. Polaroid's range on its SX-70-type models of from $66 to $179. Both cameras will, like the SX-70, eject a card that in a few minutes turns into a color photo before the viewer's eyes...
Continuing his research after transferring to California in 1967, Stoeckenius found that the pigment, called bacteriorhodopsin, functioned as a sort of pump, converting sunlight directly into electrochemical energy. Light striking a pigment molecule causes it to eject a hydrogen ion-or proton-that passes through the cell's membrane. The movement of the positively charged protons through the membrane leaves an excess of negative charge on one side of the membrane. That produces a voltage gradient and results in an electrical current flowing through the membrane. In the process, which involves at least five separate steps, each bacteriorhodopsin molecule...
