...more than ten years, television weathermen have been displaying satellite maps of low pressures, high pressures, twisters and tempests, sometimes impressing their audiences with the scientific predictability of their forecasts. But the geostationary operational environmental satellites (GOES), which transmit the images for those maps, have been highly unpredictable: of the six GOES launched since 1975, five are not functioning properly. The $70 million GOES 5, sent up in 1981 to cover the East Coast and the Atlantic Ocean for at least five years, became the latest casualty last week when it went blind, just before the peak of the hurricane...
...just such clumsy occasions. Among these chemicals are the mysterious substance P (for pain), prostaglandins and bradykinin, probably the most painful substance known to man-just a tiny amount inserted under the skin with a needle causes excruciating pain. These substances sensitize the nerve endings and help transmit the pain message from the injured region toward the brain. Prostaglandins also increase circulation to the damaged area, causing the swelling and redness known as inflammation. The purpose of this is to attract infection-fighting blood cells that will ward off any invading bacteria. Since the days of Hippocrates, doctors have been...
...consummate stage director best known for his productions of plays by Samuel Beckett, Edward Albee and Harold Pinter; of brain injuries received when he was hit by a motorcycle; in London. Schneider was noted for his exacting fidelity to even the most complex script, as he worked to transmit the inner truth of a play rather than impose on it any other vision. He crusaded particularly for Beckett, and his productions of Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Krapp's Last Tape, among others, profoundly influenced the course of modern theater. Also closely associated with Albee, Schneider...
Gever had made significant progress in the application of fluorocarbons as a blood substitute. Fluorocarbons readily absorb and transmit oxygen, as does blood Dr. Geyer was able to overcome a major obstacle, the formation of bubbles in the solution when injected into rate, by employing a different mixture. Another difficulty was eliminated by Dr. Leland C. Clark Jr. professor of Research Pedantries at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Test animals did not exhale the fluorocarbons but rather collected the substance in their bodies especially in the liver Clark experimented until be found a fluorocarbon emulsion that would be expelled...
...JAPANESE world of high technology, good cars and the perfection of the capitalist system, geishas seem an anachronism. In a sense they are; they represent and transmit traditional Japanese culture and typify the most exotic and obvious symbol of Japan...
