Recently, superconducting wire was made using magnesium diboride (S. Jin, H. Mavoori, C. Bower, and R. B. Van Dover, High critical currents in iron-clad superconducting MgB2 wires, Nature 411, 563 (2001)).
 
  This is assumed to hold the promise of cheap efficient energy transmission. Explain how this might be true.

Question 2

How can OTEC installations provide fresh water as well as electricity? Explain.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

First, this material is basically a metal and relatively easy to work, to make wires
of. Second, as indicated, it is a superconductor. That means that its resistance vanishes at
low enough temperatures. Low fabrication costs and low losses could lead to lower
transmission costs.

Answer to Question 2

Part of the OTEC cycle involves evaporation and recondensation. This is a natural
place to separate fresh water from salt water.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Thyroid conditions cause a higher risk of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Hyperthyroidism leads to an increased rate of metabolism and affects about 1% of women but only 0.1% of men. For most people, this increased metabolic rate causes the thyroid gland to become enlarged (known as a goiter).
