...when heated according to instructions and tastes better cold. Either a conventional oven or a microwave can be used for heating, but a conventional oven is better for breaded pieces, which should be crisp. As for shelf life, Perdue's method of replacing oxygen with inert nitrogen gives better results, judging from two dozen samples tested. The Holly Farms chilling process requires that the cooked birds be stored at between 28 degreesF and 32 degreesF, a range not always maintained in supermarkets and home refrigerators...
...released altered bacteria into the environment prior to his experiment with the elms. In an Aug. 10 letter to the EPA, Strobel admitted he had released a "new strain of Rhizobium meliloti . . . in South Dakota, Montana, California and Nebraska in 1983-84." The Rhizobium had been altered to enhance nitrogen fixation in alfalfa plants. Though it is not yet clear that those experiments violated regulations in force at the time, they are under investigation by Montana State...
...Colonies of these tiny industrious burrowers have helped mix the nutrient-poor ash and pumice with rich, pre-eruptive soil, creating a more hospitable turf for windblown seeds. Deer mice, ants and beetles have also assisted in the regeneration of the soil. Flowering lupine, with root nodules that convert nitrogen into compounds necessary for plant growth, has seized a foothold on the pumice plain, along with the ubiquitous fireweed and timothy grass...
...field of the magnet, the ship moves forward. Saji has already moved up his timetable and hopes to complete a 100-ton "magship" within four years. "Thanks to the new materials," he says, "magnets will be lighter and easier to handle. Once we can replace liquid helium with liquid nitrogen, the whole process of outfitting the ship will be simplified. It's a fantastic development...
...drawback: the liquid-helium coolant needed for the superconducting magnets is expensive, and a heavy compressor is required in each coach to reliquefy the evaporating helium. That is why maglev engineers are excited by the idea of the new high-temperature superconductors, which would use considerably less expensive liquid nitrogen as a coolant and require far smaller compressors. The developments of the past few months, says Research Chief Kazuo Sawada, who has been in on the project from the beginning, are a "promising sign...
