By contrast, a crown wheel is one of the simplest fireworks to set up. It resembles a flying saucer and rests, without ceremony, on a nail fixed in the top of a post. Although it spins at about the same speed as a Catherine wheel and uses a similar pyrotechnic composition, the crown wheel is not fixed in any way. [Pg.122]

You follow Sally s eyes that have wandered to the windowsill on which is perched a bronze bust of astronaut Neil Armstrong. On the adjacent wall is a picture of Robert Kennedy, Herbert Hoover, and Nikita Khrushchev boarding a flying saucer. [Pg.42]

Conformation of the Macromolecule. In solution, macromolecules can have a wide variety of shapes or conformations. The simplest is the solid sphere or Einstein sphere. It is a round ball, impermeable to solvent. The ball may be stretched into a prolate ellipsoid like a football or flattened into an oblate ellipsoid like a flying saucer. Many soluble proteins have conformations that approximate ellipsoids. If a prolate ellipsoid is stretched enough, it becomes a rod. Certain virus macromolecules are rodlike. [Pg.10]

Material Seeds and to a lesser extent all other parts of plant except roots. Strongest varieties are Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Wedding Bells, Blue Star, Summer Skies, and Badoh Begro (Mexican variety). [Pg.16]

The cloudiness in some amber specimens is due to the presence of many very tiny air bubbles. In an effort to produce the more commercially desirable transparent amber, this material is often cleared by heating. This has the effect of driving off the air bubbles, and may achieve a better-looking product. At the same time, however, water is also driven off, leaving a more brittle, and sometimes less lustrous material. Heating done too quickly or at too high a temperature can also result in the formation of flat ovoid structures within the amber. These flying saucers are often exploited by dealers as natural inclusions. [Pg.67]

Not all the varieties of morning-glories available from seed companies are psyclioactive. Of those that are, the best known are Heavenly Blue (with large blue flowers). Pearly Gates (white), Wedding Bells (pink), and Flying Saucers (blue with white stripes). [Pg.97]

In front of the flying saucer is the house where several curanderos are in the midst of these beautiful ayahuasca visions. [Pg.7]

Above the queen appear the killo-caranchi [the yellow skins], whose hair takes the form of the cobra. The killo-caranchi are engaged in a magical tambourine dance. Behind them flying saucers appear from the most distant reaches of the universe. Some day, far in the future, mankind will be able to comprehend these unfathomable beings. [Pg.23]

Two acorones or giant boas open their mouths to let the animals and yakurunas used by vegetalistas give their farewells to the great sumiruna. White mermaids make the capsule levitate. Flying saucers hurry to receive it, and to accompany it in its astral travel. [Pg.57]

Both the liquid-drop model and the single-particle model assume that the mass and charge of the nucleus are spherically symmetric. This is true only for nuclei close to the magic numbers other nuclei have distorted shapes. The most common assumption about the distortion of the nuclide shape is that it is ellipsoidal, i.e. a cross-section of the nucleus is an ellipse. Figure 11.6 shows the oblate (flying-saucer-like) and prolate (egg-shaped) ellipsoidally distorted nuclei the prolate shape is the more common. Deviation from the spherical shape is given by... [Pg.316]
