GASTRONAUTS
by Catherine L. Barker
Shrimp cocktail.Tortellini.Chocolate pudding cake! The International Space Station crew eats well, and soon
they'll have even more choices. In late 2008 Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata will blast off on Expedition
18 along with some delicacies devised by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for a test. His picks will
later join the menu. Cooking space food is no small task - it must be shelf stable (no refrigerator up there),
nutritious, and fit for zero gravity (salt and pepper are in liquid form as specks would float around).
Food containers are fastened to trays. Astronauts sip liquids with a straw or dig into solids with forks and
spoons. The new eats pose new issues.
"For ramen," says Wakata, "I would definitely like to use chopsticks."

3. (Unicamp 2009) ENVIRONMENT: THE CASE OF DDT AND THE PEREGRINE
The most reliable evidence of the damaging effect of organochlorine pesticides, such as DDT, on wildlife was
demonstrated in 1967 by Dr. D. A. Ratcliffe of the Nature Conservancy in the United Kingdom. The peregrine
falcon ("Falco peregrinus") was protected in Britain after 1945 and showed a dramatic increase in numbers
until, in the mid- 1950s, the population went into a sharp decline. This proved to be due to reproductive
failure: birds went laying eggs with abnormally thin shells and a large proportion of them were broken during
incubation. High concentrations of DDT residues were found in peregrines and in the yolk of their eggs
during the mid-1960s. There was no doubt that DDT was the cause of the population decline of these birds,
and with the cessation of the use of DDT for agricultural purposes in Britain, peregrine numbers have
increased to their formal level.

(FEI – 05) TECHNOLOGY - US scientists love the sound of making glass.
The disparate talents of Madonna and Pavarotti have combined in an unusual way - to help a New York
scientist make stronger glass. Recordings of both singers were used in preliminary laboratory studies that
promise the production of clearer windows and stronger baby food jars.
'We were experimenting with the use of sound waves to strengthen glass,' says Professor William LaCourse
of the Glass Science Institute at Alfred University, New York. 'It was a very low-tech start. We had an old
stereo in our lab and we actually attached glass samples to the speakers.'
'We were delighted when it became clear that the sound waves of music, from Madonna to opera to classical
music, actually had an effect on the glass.' Madonna has now been replaced by high energy waves
generated by ultra sonic horns. 'We bathe a glass sample, which is coated with a chemical containing
potassium, in sound waves,' says LaCourse. 'The sound waves accelerate a chemical reaction in which
small atoms like sodium are removed and replaced by the larger potassium atoms. 'The extra space taken
up by the potassium atoms forces any cracks in the surface of the glass to close. All glass is weak because
of cracks,' he says. 'If there were no cracks glass would be stronger than steel. Unfortunately, glass products
have microscopic cracks in them and these propagate easily.' His ultrasound technique means that higher
levels of stress are required before cracks appear. 'Glass made this way is of better optical quality because it
is treated more uniformly, producing less distortion.
