Enzymes are aptly called the mediators of life. Without these essential proteins, vital chemical reactions would occur far too slowly, if at all. Living things could not grow, digest food, store energy, transmit messages across nerve cells or reproduce. Like laboratory or industrial catalysts, enzymes trigger and speed up chemical reactions without themselves being affected or altered by them. But enzymes can cause these reactions to take place up to a billion times faster than catalysts used in the laboratory or chemical plant...
...orientation of its crystals is changed, the ceramic becomes opaque to the original color, but allows another color to pass through. Sandwiching a ceramic plate between two polarizing disks and applying different voltages in sequence, Haertling and Land found that they could precisely control the color the ceramic would transmit...

...world's most sophisticated, fully automated, air-pollution-warning system, which will soon be nationwide. It consists of 31 electric "sniffers," which mon itor sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Mounted on poles around 21 major plants, the sniffers filter SO, traces, translate hourly readings into" electric current and transmit the data to a central Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken computer located in the nearby town of Schiedam. If the SO., level rises above .5 parts per million, the computer sounds an alarm and an electronic map pinpoints the offending plant. If weather conditions indicate a pollution buildup in the area...
...Judging from Miss Leen's photos of the procedure, the creature bears far more resemblance to Lon Chancy hamming up his wolf-man act than to Bela Lugosi spiraling in for an elegant neck shot. Aside from the remote possibility of contracting rabies (bats, like most mammals, can transmit the disease), the only danger from a vampire's nip is botfly larvae, parasites that cradle in superficial wounds. People need not fear, however. For the timid vampire almost never bites humans...
