Higher Alcohol Production Possible with New Material
Dr Bernard Woliak of Inimer Laboratories reported at an American Chemical Society Chicago Section conference that a vitamin like material from dried activated sludge can speed fermentation.

Temperature Profile From Ground to Space
The excerpt describes temperature changes with altitude from ground level to 400 miles. It notes extreme lows of about 67 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in the first five to ten miles, climbs to around 170 degrees at 40 miles, drops to about minus 28 at 60 miles, then rises to roughly 4000 degrees at 400 miles though air density is extremely thin. It explains high readings reflect molecular speed rather than conventional heat and that a thermometer would be influenced mainly by solar radiation.
