Report of the Working Group on Silicates
There are at least two ways to understand the nature of grains in the universe. In one approach, one can try to understand the life history of typical particles. The fate of a grainmay e.g. be as follows: vapours...

Unidentified Growth Factors
IT is well known that spent wash (the liquor re maining in the whisky still after distilling the spirit) contains factors which increase the growth of chicks. This growth promotion appears to be unrelated to m...
