In its most simplistic definition, the medicine wheel is a symbol of all creation, of all races of people, birds, fish, animals, trees, and stones. Its shape is that of a wagon wheel, made of stones. According to [Indigenous] beliefs, the circular shape of the wheel represents the earth, the sun, the moon, the cycles of life, the seasons, and day to night. 4, record 1, English, - medicine%20wheel

The intense fires created around Hiroshima by the bomb carried large quantities of ash into the atmosphere. The ash had the effect of "seeding" the clouds and the result was a "black rain" which fell 1-2 hours after the explosion.

Mercurius solubilis. Il s’agit du mercure soluble de Hahnemann. C'est un produit élaboré à partir de nitrate de mercure, d’acide nitrique et de mercure métallique, codifié par Hahnemann pour remplacer le bichlorure de mercure, jugé trop toxique. Cette préparation aboutit à une poudre noire, grisâtre, à goût métallique, insoluble dans l'eau, l'alcool, l'éther mais qui devient volatile sous l'action de la chaleur. 6, record 4, French, - mercurius%20solubilis

C’est Hahnemann qui a proposé un mode de préparation original pour rendre le mercure «soluble» dans l’organisme afin de donner une pathogénésie plus étendue. Le procédé de Hanhemann est encore utilisé aujourd’hui pour préparer Mercurius solubilis. [...] on utilise du nitrate de mercure, de l’acide nitrique et du mercure métallique. Après contact de 24 heures de ces constituants, la souche est précipitée par de l’ammoniaque. On obtient ainsi une poudre grisâtre que l’on dilue d’abord par trituration dans du lactose/saccharose, puis selon le procédé classique à partir de la 3° CH. [...] Mercurius solubilis est sans aucun doute le médicament le plus souvent impliqué [sic : utilisé] dans le traitement des aphtoses buccales [...] 7, record 4, French, - mercurius%20solubilis

Appelé hythane et développé au Colorado, le nouveau carburant qui alimenterait les véhicules est composé, en volume, à 15 pour cent d’hydrogène et à 85 pour cent de méthane. Ainsi mélangé, l'hydrogène neutralise substantiellement les émanations polluantes du gaz naturel, en plus de ne produire lui-même qu'un peu d’eau et une trace d’azote.

Évaporateurs. La concentration de la liqueur noire se fait dans des évaporateurs, dont il existe divers types : à effets multiples(multiple-effect), à circulation forcée(forced-circulation), à compression de vapeur(vapor-compression), à contact direct(direct-contact, direct-heat), etc. [...] Le surconcentrateur(cascade evaporator) est un autre type d’évaporateur à contact direct. Il est constitué par un tambour à axe horizontal tournant dans un bac fermé, relié à la sortie des fumées de la chaudière. Le tambour comporte un grand nombre de tubes horizontaux maintenus entre deux flasques. La partie inférieure du tambour plonge dans la liqueur à concentrer; les tubes s’enrobent de liqueur visqueuse et, en émergeant, passent dans le courant de fumées chaudes. Ces dernières font s’évaporer une partie de l'eau de la liqueur et abandonnent les plus grosses particules de sel qu'elles transportent. La concentration de la liqueur est ainsi portée à environ 65 pour cent. 1, record 15, French, - surconcentrateur
