...thought nothing of it. The cut seemed to be clean, and it healed quickly. But within a month, abscesses formed under the skin on the back of her finger and hand. They were not painful, but they were unsightly, and occasionally one of them burst and oozed a sticky fluid until a new scab formed. The woman's 18-year-old son cut his finger on the same tank, and soon he too had an abscess on his hand...
Radiation Cooling. Pratt & Whitney chose to work with these unpleasant fluids because building a nuclear engine for space requires a solution for one overriding problem: how to get rid of heat from the condenser. There is no air to cool it by convection; the only cooling comes from radiation, which increases sharply with temperature. If the working fluid were steam, an enormous condenser would be needed to radiate its low-grade heat. The lithium-potassium combination runs so hot that a fairly small condenser does...
...sign saying clearly which measure they use. The greatest spur to thoroughgoing reform will undoubtedly be British membership in the European Common Market. In time, Englishmen may even order their mild-and-bitter by the liter, and pay in decimal currency-but few last week would bet a fluid dram that they would live...
...waiting for them. Soon the Japanese, emulating their conquerors, began to say kanpai (cheers) over Scotch and soda. Out flowed 86-proof Old Suntory, now $4.50 a fifth. For undemanding palates, Kotobukiya also puts out 74-proof Torys, a throat burner that sells for 85? a near fifth (21.6 fluid oz.).

Plasma (the blood's clear fluid) is supposed to carry most of the blood's circulating protein supply, but there is always some protein outside the bloodstream because it has leaked through the capillaries -surprisingly as much as half of the blood's total stock. By a still-obscure method, the lymphatic system picks up this protein,, which then flows to lymphatic collection points. Biggest of these, in the abdomen, is the cisterna chyli. Others are in the chest. Through large lymph channels-notably the thoracic duct-the protein returns to the blood stream. Most surprising...
