Backed by private and government grants-and aided by a staff that has now expanded to 44 -he devised a series of 2-ft.-high glass columns through which the patient's blood is detoured. The columns are filled with charcoal granules, which filter water-soluble impurities from the blood; additional columns filled with resins are being tested to remove less soluble protein-bound compounds...

Using ground-up newspapers to filter water containing algae, Richard Spray, Neil Meador and Donald Brooker found that the newsprint effectively trapped the single-celled plants, which are rich in protein. After a while, such a thick layer of algae built up on the newsprint that it had a higher content of crude protein than dried beef, soybean meal or skimmed-milk powder. Though the Missouri scientists do not suggest...
