were widely separated in space and time. About 500 B.C. the Babylonians began to use a symbol to represent a vacant space in their positional value numbers. However, before the idea could be disseminated to other areas, its use apparently died out about 2000 years ago along with the culture that gave it birth.

The Mayas of Central America began using the zero about the beginning of the Christian era. They have been in possession of the zero for about a thousand years longer than the Spaniards, and in general, the Mayas were more advanced in many aspects of mathematics than their conquerors.

Modern civilization derives incalculable practical and theoretical benefits from the use of zero.

[54] PROCESS FOR CHANGING

THE WATER CONTENT

OF WATER-ABSORBING

OR WATER-RELEASING MATERIAL

[75] Inventors: Richard Gete, Fed. Rep. of Germany [73] Assignee: Hoechst Aktbengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, Rep. of Germany [21] Appl. No.: 312,271 [22] Filed: Oct. 16, 1981

[57] ABSTRACT

The water content of a material, which tends to either absorb water or to release water, is changed with the aid of film, which at least partially separates the material from the adjacent space and is impermeable to liquid water but permeable to gaseous water. Polyvinyl alcohol with a particular degree of polymerization and degree of hydrolysis is used as the film material. The film can be mechanically or chemically after treated. The moistening or demoistening of the material, which is solid, liquid or gaseous, is effected, utilizing a water vapor pressure gradient, under very mild condition.
