Photographer Nina Leen and Physiologist Alvin Novick have freed the oat from the ignominy of Dore infernos and Transylvanian castles. Myths and tears concerning these shy nocturnal mammals are gently and gracefully blown away with the turning of each page in this unique contribution to the literature of natural history...
...correct solution was sent in by four different scientists, including Insect Physiologist David Smith of the University of Miami. "These structures," he explained, "are brochosomes, bizarre excretory products of the Malpighian tubules of leaf hoppers." In other words, Harwell's UFOs are insect droppings...
Substitute Signals. The automated weedkiller technique was developed by Psychologist David Shapiro and Psycho-physiologist Bernard Tursky of Harvard Medical School. It was tried first on 40 people this spring. Not everyone was able to keep down with the beeps; one participant had a relapse after his wife, unaware that he had left his Bellboy in the car, drove off on a shopping trip. But of the original 40, including a telephone man who set up the beepers, 34 stuck it out until the system had cut them down to as few as four cigarettes a day. Some have even...
...Mars. In a number of studies, biologists have already shown that algae, plant seeds and even beetles can survive temperatures similar to those found on the red planet. "Considering the extreme conditions that organisms tolerate here on earth," adds the University of Hawaii's Sanford Siegel, a physiologist whose studies on low-temperature life have been supported by NASA, "I would be very surprised indeed if we didn't find life on other planets...
...precisely defined. Lay and medical dictionaries alike offer essentially circular definitions of it as hurt, distress or suffering-pain is pain. Half the medical textbooks say little about it, except for extreme and uncommon forms, and doctors learn correspondingly little about it in medical school. The great British physiologist Sir Charles Sherrington described pain as "the psychical adjunct of an imperative protective reflex." More simply, pain is what the victim perceives in his mind after he has touched a hot stove-and reflexively pulled back his hand to guard against further burn damage...
