ln Sports & Leisure: The hair-loss lndustry

Most of us laugh at those goofy late-night informercials that promise to fix hair loss forever - with paint. But the U.S. hair-loss industry pulls in $ 1.5 billion a year in revenues, and U.S. News was impressed enough by its influence to run an eight-page article about it last week. The article explained that despite the dubious success rate of most baldness treatments, the "treadmill of treatment and spending — and more treatment and more spending — is likely to be the only path for balding men and women who want their hair back" — at least until scientists come up with a medical cure for baldness. And we guarantee that the hair-loss industry does not want that to happen.

Chaining channels

The latest version of Sony’s tiny portable television, FDL-22 Watchman Color TV with Straptenna, is ergonomically designed for easy holding and viewing. A 5.6-cm liquid-crystal-display screen — the smallest to date – emits an impressively sharp picture. The signal is pulled in by a strap/antenna worn around the neck; it makes use of the water content of the human body to help with the reception.

Super food for skinnies

Scientists discovered 20 years ago that butter could be rendered more benign to the heart if, in a bit of molecular manipulation, the food’s fatty acids were rearranged. The resulting concoction, which tastes like butter but doens’t clog arteries, is nearly ready for commercial use. Playing around with several recipes, Dr. Edward Mascioli and a team at the Harvard Medical School have baked modified butter into guilt-free muffins and cookies that they hope will lower snackers’ blood-cholesterol levels. The stuff is being tested with a group of consumers eating regular goodies for five weeks followed by five weeks more on the virtuous kind. Medical Foods, a Canadian firm, plans to bring a line of such treats to market after that experimental phase is over.

Play tripper

Renault’s commuter car of the future is called Ludo (Latin for I play), though customers aren’t likely to go joyriding in anything similar for several years. But as far as the prototype is concerned, the designers have achieved a playful combination of practicality and efficiency in a city car. One of three designs being studied by Renault, the Ludo has twin sliding doors, giving as many as five passengers easy access, and fold-down seats that allow plenty of space for stowing paraphernalia. It features a peppy 1.15-liter engine fueled by clean-burning petroleum gas (a mixture of butane and propane). Top speed: about 150 km/h.

A questão refere-se ao texto abaixo:

In an early article, McKay suggested that the occurrence of PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) and textural and mineralogical features in the Martian meteorite ALH84001 were consistent with the presence of past life on Mars. A series of technical comments and responses address whether abiotic processes could have instead produced these features.

SCIENCE - December 20,1996.

Dadas as asserções:

I. Em tempos remotos, houve alguma forma de vida primitiva em Marte.

II. Processos abióticos podem ter conferido a textura e a composição química verificadas no ALH84001.

III. A composição química e a textura do meteorito marciano não são provas incontestes da existência de vida em Marte em tempos remotos.

ENGINEERING: Chemical Engineer

Pharmaceutical companies will spend $ 12.9 billion in 1998 seeking the next wonder drug -- almost twice what they spent in 1990. Overall, private research-anddevelopment budgets ( I ) $ 99.3 billion last year, up 21.7 percent in five years. Much of that investment pays chemical engineers, who put the right shade of rose in lipstick, the mouthwatering taste in fat-free cheese, the air-synthetic rubber - in Air Jordans. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (…lI…) that demand in R&D by 5 percent a year until 2005. At Pfizer Inc., chemical engineers make up to 20 percent of the manufacturing work force in the country.
