...sound medical practice but also plain common sense to keep a newborn baby warm-especially if it has difficulty beginning to breathe. In such cases, doctors have a standard treatment: with the baby held head down, they suck fluids out of his nose, mouth, throat and bronchi, and give oxygen. If after five minutes the baby still does not breathe, they may try artificial respiration or give more oxygen. But with the baby kept warm...
...excellent community image that impresses local customers. The company recognizes, of course, that it cannot meet its challenge from the East with good will alone. It is spending $125 million this year for a computerized hot strip mill, a tin-plate cold rolling mill and two 250-ton oxygen furnaces at its huge Indiana Harbor complex in East Chicago, the most concentrated facility in the industry...
...Hybrids have no such difficulty. Their fuel can be hopped up with a high proportion of high-energy powdered metals or metallic hydrides, but in the absence of an oxidizer, they remain as inert as an auto tire. The oxidizer may be a fiercely reactive fluid such as OF2 (oxygen difluoride), but since it stays in its own tank until needed, it behaves itself. When the two components come together, they burn with extremely high specific impulse, the measure of rocket power. Best of all, say their boosters, hybrids are free of the complicated plumbing demanded by the liquids...
Looking into the future, the hybrid men see big hybrid space boosters using extremely cheap fuels: liquid oxygen and ordinary rubber. For extra performance in upper-stage rockets, they have high hopes for hybrids using fuel that is almost entirely powdered metal...
...body is resourceful enough to meet the emergency. If it does not speed up, the heart manages to increase total blood output by the simple device of increasing its output of blood per beat. The effect is the same: to give both brain and limbs an added supply of oxygen for fight or flight...
