Every minute we lose heat by radiation from the skin. Every thought requires a small amount of food. If we worry, the leak of nervous energy is tremendous, but at the same time we put ourselves in position where we are unable to replenish our stock, for worry ruins digestion. All this expenditure of energy and loss of heat must be made up for by the food intake.
Thus, for instance, in the case of the quartz, in the neighbourhood of a radiation corresponding to a wave-length of 8.5 microns, the absorption is thirty times greater in the region of the band than in the neighbouring region, and consequently, after three reflexions, while the corresponding radiations will not have been weakened, the neighbouring waves will be so, on the contrary, in the proportion of 1 to 27,000.
Sealed off was right the Queen would be amply protected from investigation. Whether her crew would survive was another matter whether she could even make a landing there was also to be considered. The Big Burn was the horrible scar left by the last of the Atomic Wars a section of radiation poisoned land comprising hundreds of square miles land which generations had never dared to penetrate.
To clinch the elimination of sunspots as a cause, their record tapes showed no burst of radiation when sunspot activity had been abnormal. The "rock hounds" checked every possible research project that might have produced some stray radiation for their instruments to pick up. They found nothing.
Better strap yourselves in solid, folks this may develop into a kind of rough party, by the looks of things right now." As he spoke, a pyrotechnic display enveloped the entire ship as a radiation from the foreign vessel struck the other neutralizing screen and dissipated its force harmlessly in the ether.
"That may be true, but nothing is less certain. However, if we pass nearer to Tycho we shall be in a better position to find out the cause of this radiation." "What do you think that plain is like, seen from the height we are at?" asked Michel. "I don't know," answered Nicholl.
As he did so, a hint of pale pink light caught the corner of his eye. He backed away from the instrument and turned his head quickly, looking at the colorimeter-type radiation detector at the side of his helmet. It was glowing. An icy chill sent a shiver through him. Great, gorgeous galaxies! He had forgotten ... had Koa and the others?
Therefore, if the body be subject to disintegration, the spirit is not affected by these changes or transformations. It is an evident fact that the body does not conduct the process of intellection or thought radiation. It is only the medium of the grossest sensations. This human body is purely animal in type and, like the animal, it is subject only to the grosser sensibilities.
The smaller craft went on a scouting mission, verifying that there was no new colony planted, that there was no man-made radiation anywhere in the system, that there was no likelihood of the fleet's presence or for that matter its continued existence becoming known to anybody not of its ship-crews. The scout-ships came back, reporting all clear.
Others were bringing water from the spring below, some gathering sprigs of fragrant Artemisia and other shrubs to form couches some lopping branches of larger trees to screen them from nocturnal radiation; their only protection from the dew being such branches stuck in the ground, and slanting over their procumbent forms.
