METHOD FOR DISTILLING WATER

A Simple Apparatus for Distilling Water

Bacteriological evaluation of an ultra-pure water-distilling system.

A prototype distillation and storage system with recycle for producing ultrapure water was monitored for bacteriological contamination during a period of 24 months. Naturally occurring Pseudomonas aeruginosa and P. cepacia were found to grow rapidly to levels of about 10(5)/ml in water taken from the storage reservoir and also in commercially prepared distilled water. The system was found to el...

Distilling a Language for Cyberspace

In the past twenty years the Internet has grown, from text -entry green-screen communication between the military, a few universities and res earchers, to a visually-based mass communication and advertising medium and even a tool for political activists. This growth has been ad hoc, spectacular and peripatetic. The advent of the GUI into mainstream computing was the point at which the Internet ...

Distilling nonlocality.

Two parts of an entangled quantum state can have a correlation, in their joint behavior under measurements, that is unexplainable by shared classical information. Such correlations are called nonlocal and have proven to be an interesting resource for information processing. Since nonlocal correlations are more useful if they are stronger, it is natural to ask whether weak nonlocality can be amp...
