A combination of atoms such as this is called a molecule. A molecule made up of hydrogen and carbon is called a hydrocarbon. This particular compound is a molecule of the asphyxiating gas methane, sometimes called marsh gas or coal miners Black Damp. Instead of writing the compound with the valency bonds showing, it is more commonly written CH4. 

Methane gas is in itself inert. It occurs naturally as marsh damp in swamps or, more ominously, Black Damp in mines. In addition to being an asphyxiant when the quantity blocks the available oxygen, it is also highly explosive and, hence, particularly dangerous in mining situations. 

Oscillations of black holes. Non-radial oscillations of black holes can be excited when a mass is captured by the black hole. The so called quasinormal modes have eigenfrequencies and damping times which are characteristic of black holes, and very different of eigenfrequencies and damping times of quasi normal modes of stars having the same mass. Also the eigenmodes being different for a star and a black hole, the associated gw will also exhibit characteristic features. 

The black explosive powder previously described as Se4N2 is now assigned this structure. It is very sensitive when dry and handling it damp with an hydrocarbon is recommended. There is brown dimer, also explosive [2].

Bischof An obsolete process for making white lead (basic lead carbonate), invented by G. Bischof around 1900. Lead monoxide was reduced by the carbon monoxide in water-gas to form black lead suboxide, oxidized in damp air to lead hydroxide, slurried in dilute acetic acid, and carbonated with carbon dioxide. Piloted in Willsden, London, and commercialized by L. Mond in the Brimsdown White Lead Company. A sample of Bischof s white lead was used by Holman Hunt in his painting Light of the World, now in St. Paul s Cathedral, London. 

Fig. 17.8 Illustration of the trapping principle in an ion trap. The effect of rotating the saddle potential in part (a) is a pseudopotential well illustrated in part (b). For particles with suitable mass (and charge) the particle motion in the pseudopotential is indicated by the black line. The motion is a combination of a secular motion in the pseudopotential well and a small amplitude micromotion at the frequency of rotation mf. If the particle motion is damped, the particle can come to rest at the bottom of the well...

Gardeners should be aware that mulches can serve as hiding places for some insects and increase the incidence of some diseases by retaining too much water around plant roots. Black plastic, for example, may increase damping off and root rot of peas and... 

The 1607 tract is a complete, though not a fair copy, as its p es are of different inks and formats, and it has multiple p ination and foliation, all of wh ich give it the quality of a composite like many of Formans volumes. This volume begins with a dedication to the reader, a testimony of the author, and a preamble. The first two folios of the dedication to the reader were at some point damped, and Ashmole has restored them. He transcribed the dedication to the reader and the authors testimony in full. William Black, while cataloguing the Ashmole MSS found these with Ashm. 1403, and they are now bound in Ashm. 1790, fo. 102. It is unclear whether Ashmole made these copies from Forman s damped pages, or whether he had access to another version of this text. The dedication and testimony are both dated 1607, and this is in keeping with the contents of the MSS. There is a table of contents at the end, which in this case fits the text. 

Figure 2 IR absorption in the O-H/D stretching region for the 7D model of SA (H black, D grey). The small broadening results from an artificial damping of the correlation function with a time constant of 0.5 ps. The spectra of the laser pulses used in Fig. 3 are shown as dashed lines.

The atmosphere of coal mines frequently contains enough methane (fire damp) to make it explode from the flame of a black powder or dynamite blast. Dust also produces an explosive atmosphere, and it may happen, if dust is not already present,... 

Fig. 3 Experimental absorption spectra obtained for poly(dGdC).poly(dGdC) (green), poly(dAdT).poly(dAdT) (blue) and poly(dA).poly(dT) (red) in phosphate buffer. Spectra in black correspond to an equimolar mixture of nucleotides (left dGMP and dCMP right dAMP and dCMP). Molar absorption coefficients are given per base.

Results Whenever the yellow part of a flame came in contact with a cool dish, a black substance was deposited. This substance is carbon. When carbon burns incompletely, which is usually the case, it glows with a yellow color. A flame is made of tiny particles of very hot carbon. When they cool quickly, as they did on striking the cool dish, they were deposited there as black carbon. When they cool more slowly, as above an open flame, they join with atoms of oxygen from the air and become carbon dioxide (C02), a colorless invisible gas. You found the bottom of the saucers damp. Every flame gives off water vapor also. This is because the fuel contains hydrogen, which combines with oxygen in the air to form water vapor. Wherever there is a fire then, there is carbon in the flame, and there are two by-products—carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

Dissolve 16 parts gum-arabic in the least possible quantity of water, and mix with it 9 parts phosphorus iu powder (see No. 4338) then add 14 parts nitre (saltpetre), and 16 parts of either vermilion (red sulphuret of mercury), or binoxide (black oxide) of manganese, aud form the whole into a paste. Dip the matches into this pasto, and then let them dry. When quite dry they are to be dipped into a very dilute copal or lac varnish, and again dried by this means they are less likely to suffer from damp weather.
