29、tomorrow, making use of every available resource becomes more and more important. As coal is being used in greater and greater amounts to produce electricity, larger amounts of ash, by-product of coal, are produced. When coal is burned in a boiler, two kinds of ash by-product are produced: a heavy b
30、ottom ash and a fine-as-powder fly ash that is filtered and captured by precipitators. About 10 to 15 percent of the coal by-product is bottom ash which is used like sand on icy city streets and highways and also on highways as paving material.

31、er amount of attention. Fly ash may be used as an additive to concrete in the construction of dams, bricks, and roads, and can replace up to 20 percent of the cement used in concrete. As a by-product of burned coal, fly ash requires no additional expenditure of energy to be produced, while cement pr
32、oduction requires great amounts of energy.In addition to using fly ash as a concrete additive, the technology is available to extract the main mineral components-aluminum, silicon, and magnetic.

36、ea animals as having voices, and of those who are aware of the fact that many of them can “speak“, few understand that these “conversations“ have significance. Actually, their talk may be as meaningful as much of our own. For example, some sea animals use their “voices“ to locate their food in the o
37、cean expanses (广阔的区域); others use their “voices“ to let their fellows know of their locations; and still others, as a means of obtaining mates. Sometimes, “speaking“ may even mean the difference between life and death to a sea animal. It appears in some cases that when a predator (食肉动物) approaches,
38、the prey (被捕食的动物) depends on no more than the sounds it makes to escape.Fish sounds are important to man, also.

39、ronments in which they live. He can also apply this information to the more effective utilization of the listening spots he has set up to detect enemy submarines (潜水艇).
