FROM HERE TO THERE

At the clinic the doctor examines a third young patient who has missed school because of fever, aches, and bloodshot eyes. Like the first two, the boy has the measles. Not rubella. Rubeola. Like the first two, the boy was never immunized. Few kids in the crowded, innercity neighborhood have been immunized. Measles is rare these days. People forget how dangerous it can be. Parents think of it as a simple matter of temporary freckles and bed rest. They re wrong. Measles makes the patient much more susceptible to other infections. Like encephalitis. The doctor learns that the first patient has just died. [Pg.98]

Three cases within a week in the same neighborhood means that the disease is spreading. The doctor fears an epidemic is under way. She immediately calls city health officials and tells them the problem. The health commissioner faxes a request to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta for ten thousand doses of measles vaccine. The plan is to initiate a crash program of vaccinations in the immediate neighborhood so that spread of the disease will be damped. Infected children will be quarantined after the outbreak is contained, an educational program will be initiated to alert parents to the abiding [Pg.98]

The strategy works. A few more children contract the measles, but no more die. The epidemic is contained, and city officials move on to the educational campaign. [Pg.99]

The director leans back in his chair and tosses the script on the table. Epidemic —his first made-for-TV movie—is shaping up pretty well. It has drama, action, cute kids, attractive doctors and nurses, and noble government officials. A killer disease is defeated by human ingenuity, planning, and technical expertise. [Pg.99]

Bah The director does not like happy endings. A cynic down to his toes, he has run across too many stupid, incompetent people to swallow this. His sister s gall bladder was removed by a skilled surgeon  [Pg.99]


A pipeline (10 cm I.D., 19.1 m long) simultaneously transports gas and liquid from here to there. The volumetric flow rate of gas and liquid are 60 000 cm /s and 300 cm /s, respectively. Pulse tracer tests on the fluids flowing through the pipe give results as shown in Fig. PI 1.6. What fraction of the pipe is occupied by gas and what fraction by liquid ... [Pg.279]

Behind the chemical phenotype is a biochemical phenotype . The latter describes disorder in a dynamic function any function that modifies a molecule or moves it from here to there. How to measure a function that can be disrupted by a mutant gene is an important part of this laboratory guide. [Pg.869]

From the point of view of the hetero-atom itself, there are two more known below selenium in the Periodic Table. Each deserves some special comment. The next atom, directly below selenium, is tellurium. It is more metallic, and its compounds have a worse smell yet. I heard a story about a German chemist, many years ago, who was carrying a vial of dibutyl telluride in his pocket in a passenger coach from here to there in Germany, back at about the turn of the century. It fell to the floor and broke. No one could remain in the car, and no amount of decontamination could effectively make the smell tolerable. Scratch one railway coach. But the compound, 2C-TE, would be readily makeable. Dimethyl ditelluride is a known thing. [Pg.287]

Getting the Message from Here to There Modeling Psychokinesis and Telepathy... [Pg.74]

More difficult to generalize, are the isoquinolines with new rings resulting from biosynthetic attacks from here to there that are excluded from this study. In a broad, inclusive statement the line has again been drawn to exclude everything that has not been included above. [Pg.32]

An initial glance at psychological experience seems to show many contradictions to this, we do all sorts of things every day in ways that, even to our own perception, are certainly not the most economical ways. An observer may detect even more wasted energy. Suppose I carry a book from here into the next room, if I observe the action carefully, I will probably find that I have not used my body in a way that requires a minimal expenditure of energy to move the book from here to there. [Pg.243]

Unlike structural or microscopic methods of materials characterization, DTA/DSC can provide information on how a substance got from here to there during thermal processing. The temperatures of transformations as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of a process may be determined using DTA/DSC. [Pg.40]

Trying to execute a project without an execution plan and a master project schedule (MPS) is like trying to drive from here to there without a map or a elock. Eventually you will get nowhere, you will be late getting there, and you won t even know it. A project execution plan combined with the MPS provides a road map with criteria to judge where you are at any time and to know when you have arrived. It also provides the basis for the control system and is an excellent communication tool. [Pg.85]

From Here to There Conformational Landscapes and Solubility Probes. 174... [Pg.161]

It is merely a convenience to say, for example, the signal is "passed" from here to there, and "then" passed...etc., for we must remember that all these processes are dynamic, continuous, and as I have proposed, reverberating and holonomic. [Pg.142]

Levy was miserable. He lay sleepless in his bed in his tiny Lower East Side tenement and watched the snow come down. Everything happens to me, he thought. I ve just gotten settled into this apartment, and the landlord says I have to move tomorrow. Fine, I ll move—and I ve even found another place, right down the block. But now it s snowing, and tomorrow the sidewalks will be full of ice and snow. How will I get my stuff from here to there in this terrible weather ... [Pg.205]
