After a new United States government has been elected to halt several green house effect programs, a destructive ice age emerges and only two missing Space Hab astronauts hold the key to saving the planet.

The colonists from Earth have spent a century in cold sleep to make the first journey, one way, to settle a planet in another solar system. Avalon seems perfect, a verdant, livable world still in its prehistoric age. The biologists and engineers who busy themselves planting and building scoff at the

### From Publishers Weekly This sequel to the authors' bestselling The Legacy of Heorot (1987), in which "Earth Born" colonists vanquished an alien life-form known as the Grendels (hence the title here), starts slowly. The colonists' children (the "Star Born") spend too much of the first half of th

EDITORIAL REVIEW: \*\*In Robots and Aliens, the late science fiction genius Isaac Asimov put forth a challenge to a talented group of science fiction writers: What would happen if the robots of Asimov's universe were to meet alien races? Would the Three Laws of Robotics that protect both humans

## Abstract The temperature dependence of the vibration–vibration energy transfer between the __v__~3~ mode of ^15^N^14^NO and the first vibrational level of CO was determined over a range of 680 to 1300°K using a shock tube. Several mixtures of ^15^N^14^NOCO were tested, diluted in 95% Ar. The re

Contextual fear conditioning by 18-and 23-day-old rats was compared in two training contexts, a transparent Plexiglas chamber or a black Plexiglas chamber. As measured by a conditioned defensive freezing response, older rats displayed more contextual fear than younger rats. At both ages conditioning

We present a k-space approximation that directly relates a pulse sequence to its residual pattern of z-directed magnetization M z , in a manner akin to the k-space approximation for small tip-angle excitation. Our approximation is particularly useful for the analysis and design of tagging sequences,

A definition of complex stable random variables is presented which includes earlier definitions as special cases. The class of complex stable random variables is characterized and is shown to be a subclass of the operator stable random variables. The exact conditions under which a sum of independent

A method is described for determining specific radioactivity and concentration of CO\* in blood, rumen fluid, and expired air. The CO2 of blood and rumen fluid samples is liberated selectively by 1 M phosphate buffer (pH 5.8) containing 1 mM NaN, and 5 mM NaF. Liberated CO2 is quantitatively trapped

Cysteamine is currently used to treat children with the inherited disorder nephropathic cystinosis. A method for the quantitative determination of this aminothiol in human plasma is presented. Whole plasma was reduced with sodium borohydride to convert disulfides to thiols. Cysteamine was then separ

## Abstract Hatching in the amphibian Xenopus laevis involves release of an embryo‐secreted hatching enzyme, a protease, which weakens the envelope surrounding the embryo. The envelope is not totally solubilized, which infers that only selected envelope components are hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The
