...influence the deuterons in the centre start to move outward. The effect of the big magnet is to pull them in circles. Just as they complete a half-circle the voltage is reversed, so that they get a kick of 50,000 volts to boost them around the other side of the circle at higher speed. After another half-circle the reversed voltage hits them again, and so on. The deuterons go spiraling outward, faster and faster, toward the rim of the tank. After being kicked 100 times by 50,000 volts, they attain speeds of 5,000,000 electron...
Born in 1798, Delacroix had an adventurous infancy. He was dropped from a ship's side by one careless nurse, nearly burnt up by another, and when he reached the age of reason came close to hanging himself in imitation of an engraving. From his German mother Delacroix may have inherited the responsiveness to Flemish art which showed itself in a life-long admiration for Rubens. His first masterpiece, Dante and Vergil, which was exhibited when he was 24, was described by his master as "Rubens chastened." Beginning his journal in that year, Delacroix scribbled down a daily medley...
...cautious follower of radio instructions, who carefully kept to the right of his radio track. The airliner passed Rock Springs on time at 8:16 p.m., flying normally at 180 m.p.h. Two days later it was found 17 miles off its course-to the left-wrecked on a snowcovered side of a mountain (see cut), both engines and 18 occupants flung far ahead of the ship, Only one passenger tangled in the smashed plane. Time of the crash was fixed at 8:51 p.m. which with the liner's position when found, indicated that the pilot had proceeded...
...results," they wrote, "of stimulating the left side of the cat's cerebellum for five seconds can best be presented by describing a single attack. During the stimulus the cat suddenly drew back its head, leaving both fore feet extended in front. As the stimulus ceased, the cat lifted its left forefoot and held it up for 30 seconds. At one minute after the stimulus the left forefoot was again lifted gradually until it was held high in flexion. The foot and leg seemed sensitive to touch. The foot was gradually returned to the table but remained tense...
When Experimenters Clark & Ward touched the right side of the cat's cerebellum, the cat performed the same movements in the opposite direction starting with the right fore limb. Whenever they touch the midline of the cerebellum, "both fore limbs are involved at once and the cat may sit on its haunches with both fore limbs in the air; then both hind limbs become affected...
