...tips with an upward motion. When bismuth powders or pulverized lead glass were blown deep into the lungs of anesthetized cats, Dr. Barclay and his associates found that the dust in dry form remained in the windpipe and its branches, never penetrating into the little sacs (alveoli) which absorb oxygen from the air and eliminate carbon dioxide from the blood. They could see by X-ray the foreign particles moving from the base of the lungs up & out. The movement they discovered was spiral and (viewed from above) clockwise. Particles traveled 1½ inches per minute within...
Contrary to popular opinion, Oxygen starvation does not seriously impair the judgment of pilots flying above 10,000 feet and cannot therefore be blamed for recent air tragedies, according to Ross A. McFarland '23, assistant professor of Industrial Research at the Fatigue Laboratory...
...suggested fortnight ago by Arthur E. Raymond, Douglas' vice president in charge of engineering. He pointed out to the Chamber of Commerce in Washington that there are three good reasons why transcontinental transport planes will never have to fly much higher: 1) the higher they fly, the more oxygen and pressure equipment is necessary, which subtracts from potential payload (passengers and freight); 2) the overwhelming majority of U. S. passenger business is in short hauls, for which "substratosphere" flight is useless, since the time used for climbing and gliding eats up what is saved by high flight; 3) because...
...added oak twigs to her diet in Chicago's Brookfield Zoo. Unaccustomed to such rugged fodder, Su Lin caught a twig in her throat. Same day the twig was removed, but Su Lin fell into a decline, sank lower & lower. Desperate zookeepers placed her under an oxygen tent, tried to keep her alive by artificial respiration. But Su Lin died.* Mrs. William Harvest Harkness Jr., who last year brought back Su Lin and this year brought back another baby female panda, Mei-Mei, to serve as Su Lin's companion, promptly planned a third expedition to save...
Coach Ulen declared that the tests had been concluded and that no more oxygen would be used at all. The chief value of the tests, he said, was a psychological one--in other words the use of a non-stimulant aid such as oxygen, by Hutter, has showed the Crimson star that he is really capable of the remarkable times erroneously thought to be induced mainly...
