Many of the most important radio sources in space broadcast in this higher range, Lilley said. For the first time, Harvard astronomers will be able to listen in on waves produced by heated hellum, oxygen, and carbon in vast clouds of gas between stars...
...hour, it had done three-quarters of the work normally done by the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber. What suddenly killed DeRudder last week was a rupture of the left lung. A plastic tube slipped through a small cut in his windpipe had been delivering oxygen under pressure to his lungs. What actually caused the rupture was a mystery...
...BASIC OXYGEN FURNACES. Developed in Europe, the oxygen process is now catching on so fast that it should oust open-hearth production as the U.S. norm by the end of next year. As a spectacle, the oxygen furnaces of such firms as Bethlehem, National, Republic and Kaiser out-inferno Dante. When a pipelike lance stabs the molten iron with a Mach 2 jet of high-pressure oxygen, the cauldrons burst into a maelstrom of 3,000° metal, boiling noxious smoke and spewing fireworks. The process not only enables steelmen to cook a batch of steel in 40 minutes instead...
...many-lined the 9½-mile motorcade route to Mexican President Díaz Ordaz's residence in Chapultepec Park. The procession was often forced to crawl, and Secret Service agents, already tired by the rarefied (7,800 ft.) atmosphere, dropped back in relays for rejuvenating whiffs of oxygen from their own cars...
Their breathing apparatus-a system of tracheae that wander through the body like arteries of air-feeds oxygen to the organs up to 431 times as fast as lungs do. Their circulatory system frequently includes a mechanism that reverses blood flow when a clot obstructs the heart. A male moth's numerous "noses" are so keen that he can smell a female more than a mile away. And as for sex, insects hold the patents on mass reproduction. The East African queen termite lays 43,000 eggs a day, and in a single summer two common houseflies can multiply...
