Sabre
U.S. single-seat, single-engine jet fighter manufactured by N. Amer. Aviation, Inc. Built with wings swept back to limit transonic drag as flight speed approached the sound barrier, it could exceed the speed of sound in a dive. The first squadron became operational in 1949, and the fighter saw combat in the Korean War; production ended in 1956. It was 37.5 ft (11.5 m) long and had a wingspan of over 37 ft (11 m). Powered by a series of turbojet engines, its top speed was almost 700 mph (1,100 kph) in level flight. It carried guided missiles, machine guns or cannon in the fuselage, and rockets or bombs under the wings.
Sarah
In the Old Testament, the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. She was childless until age 90. In Genesis, God promised Abraham that she would be "a mother of nations," but Sarah refused to believe, and had already given her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, with whom he fathered Ishmael. Nevertheless, Sarah did conceive in her old age and give birth to Abraham's son Isaac.
scar
Mark left on the skin after a wound heals. Cells called fibroblasts produce collagen fibers, which form bundles that make up the bulk of scar tissue. Scars have a blood supply but no oil glands or elastic tissue, so they can be slightly painful or itchy. Hypertrophic scars grow overly thick and fibrous but remain within the original wound site. Scars can also develop into tumorlike growths called keloids, which extend beyond the wound's limits. Both can inhibit movement when they result from serious burns over large areas, especially around a joint. All scars, especially those from unaided healing of third-degree burns, can become malignant. Treatment of serious scars is one of the most important problems in plastic surgery.
shark
Any of more than 300 species of predatory cartilaginous fish (order Selachii). An ancient animal, it has changed little in 100 million years. The skin typically is dull gray and tough and has toothlike scales. Most sharks have a muscular, asymmetrical, upturned tail; pointed fins; a pointed snout; and sharp triangular teeth. Sharks have no swim bladder and must swim perpetually to keep from sinking. Most species bear living young. Several species can be dangerous to humans (e.g., great white shark, hammerhead shark, sand shark, tiger shark); smaller ones, called topes, hounds, and dogfishes, are fished commercially. See also basking shark, mackerel shark, mako shark, thresher shark, whale shark.
skarn
In geology, a metamorphic zone developed in the contact area around igneous rock intrusions when carbonate sedimentary rocks are invaded by and replaced with chemical elements that originate from the igneous rock mass nearby. Many skarns also include ore minerals; productive deposits of copper or other base metals have been found in and adjacent to skarns. The typical rock of a skarn is hornfels, a fine-grained, flinty rock produced ...
