...says, is only the first step. It permits men to stay under water for considerable periods, but it involves a lot of expensive and bothersome apparatus. A better system, says Cousteau, would be to provide man with artificial "gills" through which his blood could flow and pick up oxygen. Even better would be a true Homo aquaticus, a fishman able to get his oxygen directly from the water as the fish...
...research project will investigate the phenomenon by which the infant makes energy by metabolizing only sugars in the first 36 hours of life, then apparently switches over to fats and proteins. At the same time, instead of exhaling only as much carbon dioxide as the oxygen it inhales, the newborn child begins to change the ratio and soon puts out ten volumes of CO² for seven volumes of inhaled oxygen. Nobody understands just why, but with uncannily delicate instruments, which will measure gas ratios to an accuracy of one part in a million, the Stanford researchers hope to learn...
...money have produced countless efficiencies. In the stockyards of Chicago and Omaha, steers are turned into sirloins aboard conveyer belts that help packers to process 70 cattle an hour, compared with 40 a few years ago, and to do the job with 60 men instead of 150. Jones & Laughlin oxygen steel furnaces in Cleveland recently poured 491 tons of steel in one hour, compared with 60 tons for a similar-sized open hearth shop. Last week Reynolds Metals Co. announced that it had developed a laboratory method of turning bauxite into aluminum without first reducing it to alumina powder...
Died. John Clifford Garrett, 55, founder (in 1936) and chairman of the $206 million Garrett Corp., who built his company on thin air, pioneering aircraft pressurization in World War II, and expanding with the industry until today Garrett supplies 2,000 aerospace products, including the oxygen gear for the Mercury astronauts; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills...
When they passed the proper hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide and oxygen near a chunk of fiercely radioactive cobalt 60, the gamma rays from the cobalt knocked a hydrogen atom off the hydrocarbon molecules, making them highly reactive. After enough of these free radicals had been formed, the cobalt 60 could be removed, and the reaction proceeded without further stimulation. The result was SAS (sodium alkane sulfonate), a long-chain detergent that washes clothes and dishes every bit as well as the troublesome...
