And these stars have compressed down to maybe something like 12, 15 miles wide, and they are black holes. And they are gobbling up everything around them, including light, which is why we can't see them.

Cities have a lot of black asphalt and dark, heat absorbing structures.

As a result, women absorb more alcohol into their bloodstreams than men.

And hemoglobin acts as a molecular sponge to soak up the oxygen in your lungs and then carry it to other parts of the body.

Others have cholera, and when they die by the roadside there is no one to bury them.

Something like 20 billion tons per day of water vapor is sucked up by the northeastern trade winds, and eventually precipitates in the form of rain across the La Plata Basin.

The ozone layer, which absorbs ultraviolet energy from the Sun, is located primarily in the stratosphere, at altitudes of 15 to 35 km.

The insulin, in turn, makes insulin sensitive tissues in the body (primarily skeletal muscle cells, adipose tissue, and liver) absorb glucose, and thereby lower the blood glucose level.

Atmospheric greenhouse gases allow sunlight to pass through but absorb heat and radiate some down to the earth s surface.

Cool roofs are highly reflective surfaces that don't absorb solar heat and pass it on to the building or atmosphere.

Only a limited amount is absorbed by the intestines, but this small amount shows severe effects on the kidneys and on the liver.

Incredibly, the US is now soaking up roughly two thirds of all global net saving, a situation without historical precedent.

1852 August Beer proposes Beer's law, which explains the relationship between the composition of a mixture and the amount of light it will absorb.

Governments absorb the excess of private savings over private investment and re inject it into the global economy, thereby stabilizing aggregate demand and the financial system.

These filters typically have a blue hue to them as they also sometimes block some of the light from the longer red wavelengths.

This process is endothermic, meaning that it absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which decreases the temperature of the surroundings, further inhibiting the fire.

Many designers have begun experimenting with bamboo fibre, which absorbs greenhouse gases during its life cycle and grows quickly and plentifully without pesticides.

Do they even take the very waste matter that we have from food and fiber and so forth, and turn it back into soil and sequester carbon take carbon out of the air in the process of using our cities?

I do that on the weekend. And like what I'm trying to do is figure out what happens when you suck everything out of a compartment.

Bricks, concrete, and asphalt the building blocks from which cities are made absorb much more heat from the sun than vegetation does in the countryside.

And what scientists didn't predict is that, as this ice melts, these big pockets of black water are forming and they're grabbing the sun's energy and accelerating the melting process.

Forests and plants remove carbon from the atmosphere, potentially accounting for more than 40 of carbon abatement opportunities between now and 2020.

The total amount of matter in the universe (including baryons and dark matter), as measured from the CMB spectrum, accounts for only about 30 of the critical density.

Radioiodine ablation has been used for over 50 years, and the only major reasons for not using it are pregnancy and breast feeding (breast tissue also picks up and concentrates iodine).

America absorbs Chinese imports, pays China in dollars, and China holds dollars, amassing 2.5 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, much of it held in US Treasury securities.

And what we've been able to do is engineer a virus to basically take dye absorbing molecules and line them up on the surface of the virus so it acts as an antenna, and you get an energy transfer across the virus.

So this is, as Joy Mountford once said, The mouse is probably the narrowest straw you could try to suck all of human expression through.

As America sops up the world s savings to address its problems, as risk premiums soar, as global income, trade, and commodity prices fall, developing countries will face hard times.

Second, it could absorb excess German savings by letting unemployment rise as local manufacturers fired workers (because rising unemployment forces down the savings rate).

Yes, there are plenty of world class firms in emerging markets, and the expansion of the middle class is unmistakable. But only a tiny share of these economies labor is employed in productive enterprises, while informal, unproductive firms absorb the rest.

And we'll watch as global warming makes them melt. More water comes down, the deforested areas, here in the Tarai, will be unable to absorb the effluent, because trees are like straws that suck up the extra seasonal water.

The medicine that has helped, and that remains necessary for the time being, is government debt. Governments absorb the excess of private savings over private investment and re inject it into the global economy, thereby stabilizing aggregate demand and the financial system.

That can be changed by adding heat trapping gases to the atmosphere the so called greenhouse gases, which absorb long wave radiation on its way out and send some of it back towards the surface.

It's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means something just like the the English word something some undefined, unknown thing.

This year, the US will borrow roughly 800 billion to finance its trade deficit. Incredibly, the US is now soaking up roughly two thirds of all global net saving, a situation without historical precedent.
