Ozone is a form of oxygen that has three instead of the usual two atoms of oxygen in each molecule of gas. It is formed when ordinary molecules of oxygen are ripped apart by radiation or discharges of electricity, and is most noticeable after a lightning storm, when it can be detected by its pungent smell. Most of the ozone in the air is concentrated in a layer some 15 to 30 miles above the earth, where it absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Trouble is, ozone is far from stable; it readily gives...
...sudden fervid couplings. Several years pass. Johan gets married again, but not to the student. So does Marianne. They meet. The old libidinous magic still works. They head for a clandestine weekend in a country cottage, free at last, or so Bergman would have us believe, to breathe the oxygen of joy that marriage to each other had throttled...
...team led by Physicist Albert Ghiorso and Chemist Glenn Seaborg, the former Atomic Energy Commission chairman who won a Nobel Prize for synthesizing element No. 94 (plutonium). The Berkeley scientists used a newly beefed-up particle accelerator called Super-HILAC (for heavy ion linear accelerator) to send nuclei of oxygen atoms barreling into another artificial element, californium. As occasional collisions occurred between the oxygen and californium nuclei, they fused and formed the heavier nucleus of element 106-but not for long. Like most artificial elements, No. 106 is extremely unstable. It has a half-life of only nine-tenths...
...world will eat itself up," says Hop Holmberg of Boston, who agrees with his wife Judy that two children are all they should have. Mrs. Mary Libretti of Madison, N.J., mother of eight, frequently encounters hostility. One woman told her that she and her brood were consuming "too much oxygen and too much space...
...blood of 29,000 donors at blood centers in 18 areas of the U.S. They accepted as the danger threshold the one laid down by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act: a 1.5% concentration of car boxy hemoglobin (COHb)-the proportion of the body's oxygen-transport system that has been usurped by CO. Nonsmokers breathing pure air, they found, had a natural concentration...
