CHXNH. Many of the reactions involve radiative association. Dissociative electron-ion recombination then yields neutrals such as CH (methane), C2H OH (ethanol) and CH CN (acetonitrile) [158]. It is often joked... 

Injection—The injection of hazardous materials into the body sounds, at first, like a bad joke. Who in his right mind would inject themselves—exp>ecially when it is not required by a doctor However, it can occur by stepping on or bumping against a sheup object while working at an incident site. It will happen before you even realize it has occurred and the reality of possible being internally contaminated sinks in. The best precaution for this eventuality is to have on protective clothing and observe safe work habits.

Tesla arrived in New York in 1884 and was hired by Edison. Edison understood Tesla s ability but remained unconvinced by his new employee s insistence on the use of alternating current for electrical power transmission. Nevertheless, Tesla accepted his assignment to work on improving Edison s direct-current method, which was then in use. Working long hours Tesla increased the system output and asked Edison for a 50,000 bonus, which Tesla understood he was to receive. Edison refused, claiming that the bonus had only been a joke. Tesla quit Edison s employ, and thereafter relations were strained between the two men. 

R4B helicopter processes (included plastics parts). One could say in a joking manner taking 459 years to bring a designed product to market seams a failure in materials or perhaps the interoffice communication. 

A state that can t take a joke At Trailer Park, Governor Wise would be sold a temporary tattoo (they re available at the bar for five dollars) and directed to the poster of Teenage Hitchhikers, a 1974 movie. He could watch Dragnet on the television, where justice is served, as it should be, like beer without a glass.

Lessons seemed to go on and on, but eventually it was break time. Charlie met up with his mates once again and they stood around joking and laughing. Then one of Charlie s friends took him to one side saying he had something important to ask him. He told Charlie that his parents were checking on him at home and asked if he could do him a favour. He asked whether Charlie would look after some drugs for him. He told Charlie that it was only cannabis and it would only be for a few days. (C)...

One DNA strand introduces itself to another strand, "The name is Bond. Hydrogen Bond. Let s connect." It is an old joke but an appropriate one. 

Haber worried about his career. When he was passed over for a promotion, he suspected that his Jewish background was the reason. As a Jewish friend sardonically joked, Before 35 I was too young for a professorship, after 45 I was too old, and in-between I was a Jew. Professional jealousy may have played a role as well. Haber s enthusiasm for interdisciplinary science often swept him into the bailiwicks of rival professors. Wilhelm Ost-wald, the scientist who had refused Haber s applications for study, warned him, Achievements generated at a greater than the customary rate raise instinctive opposition amongst one s colleagues. Privately, Ostwald complained that Haber emptied a large pail of facts over our heads far too fast. 

Plots of boiling points, hunts for data, corrections, slide rules, log paper, eraser dirt, pencil shavings, and all the rest of the paraphernalia that takes the place of tea leaves and crystal spheres in the life of the scientific clairvoyant, were brought into play, he joked. 

Whether for a class demonstration, a practical joke, or perhaps a clandestine activity, disappearing ink is a fascinating substance. What is the secret to its action One formulation of disappearing ink contains a common acid-base indicator, that is, a substance that by its color shows the acid or basic nature of a solution. One acid-base indicator that shifts from a colorless hue under acidic conditions to a deep blue color in alkaline solutions is thymolphthalein. If the indicator starts off in a basic solution, perhaps containing sodium hydroxide, the typical blue color of an ink is perceived. How does the ink color disappear This behavior is dependent upon the contact of the ink with air. Over time, carbon dioxide in the air combines with the sodium hydroxide in the ink solution to form a less basic substance, sodium carbonate. The carbon dioxide also combines with water in the ink to form carbonic acid. The indicator solution responds to the production of acid and returns to its colorless acid form. A white residue (sodium carbonate) remains as the ink dries.

Well no, actually. If the truth be told, we all know that noise is brought (on) by quantum mechanics. Now, if we could some day find a really good quantum mechanic, one who could actually fix once and for all, all those broken quanta around us, then maybe all the noise would go away, but that is probably too much to ask for and not likely to happen. About as likely as our getting away with making more of these sorts of bad jokes, those are more in the domain of other spectroscopy writers ... 

Bernstein s final report on Farben had gone to the Kilgore subcommittee. Much of it was still secret. It was not like him to make a joke of anything involving his service with the government. Stories of his bravery had become legendary, but he d been so implacably serious that some of the boys who had worked for him asserted that his bravery was unconscious — that to him bullets were mere annoyances in an economic war. 

This defendant had penned a note on one of his complaints that the government wasn t co-operating. "French personnel going on leave to furnish guarantors private agreement with slave traders " His counsel had told the court that the defendant used the term "slave traders" in "a more or less jocular form." Didn t the court see the point It was just a joke. The defendant added "To what extent such practices were customary, I cannot tell you today. At any rate, if the people maintain mat they did not come quite voluntarily, then in my way of expression, perhaps a joke like that could be understood."...
