	Reality Macedonia : Ecological Catastrophe In Prilep Area
		Due to the low water flow and the extremely low temperatures this winter, a shortage of oxygen occurred in the fish - pond, which led to the suffocating of the entire fish: 12 tons of carp, amour and two tons of spawn fish.
		The damage from this catastrophe is estimated at around 2 million denars.
		Prilep, 28 February (MIA) - The low water flow since April 2001 and the freezing of the fish - pond in the village of Saramdinovo - Prilep, has resulted in an ecological catastrophe of 14 tons of dead fish.

	A Hebrew Cosmogony
		According to this cosmogony and natural history, the hunger for flesh and the thirst for blood was an obvious result of the catastrophe.
		Like the former catastrophe of the fall of man, this catastrophe of the deluge, according to the Hebrew cosmogony, changed the nature of herb, animal, and man. The prosperity of the time before the great flood was gone without return; the world lay in ruins.
		Was it a sudden anemia, due to changes in the atmosphere, the oxygen of which, with the exogenous hydrogen became the water of the flood?

	The Oil We Eat (Harpers.org)
		Those who model our planet as an organism do so on the basis that the earth appears to breathe—it thrives by converting a short list of basic elements from one compound into the next, just as our own bodies cycle oxygen into carbon dioxide and plants cycle carbon dioxide into oxygen.
		This explains why the Mississippi River, which drains the nation’s Corn Belt, is an environmental catastrophe.
		Iowa’s fields require the energy of 4,000 Nagasaki bombs every year.

	How Will The World End?
		The whole world consumes about 600,000,000 tons of coal a year, and to this must be added the consumption of oxygen by wood and other vegetable substances which raises the equivalent coal consumption of the world to not less than 1,000,000,000 tons a year.
		The "End of the World" may be taken in two different senses, as meaning either the annihilation of our planet by sudden catastrophe, or by gradual decay, or else the disappearance of human life from the face of the globe, owing to some state of circumstances, possible, at any rate, if not probable.
		Some put their faith in a celestial catastrophe so terrible as literally to wipe our earth out of existence, while others prefer to believe that though man may no longer be able to exist, the world will still continue its appointed motions.

	Test Puts Hybrid Rockets Back On The Table
		A hybrid rocket could provide the necessary propulsion to separate a crew capsule or the whole vehicle from the launcher in a catastrophe, particularly if liquid oxygen already carried on board for other purposes were used as the oxidizer.
		The rocket case around the fuel was insulated on the inside to protect it from burnthrough, and coated on the outside around the liquid oxygen and helium tanks above the motor with the same foam Lockheed Martin uses to insulate the space shuttle external tanks it builds at Michoud.
		Hybrid rockets that burn inert, non-toxic fuel with a liquid oxidizer may find new applications in the years ahead, following a hybrid sounding rocket experiment late last year that moved the technology beyond the realm of hobbyists and failed commercial ventures.

	Momotora - Planetes
		One of the most gripping moments in the series for me was the end of episode 24, when Tanabe finally calls into question her theory of "love conquers all" and, amidst oxygen deprivation, begins to go crazy and considers killing Claire to get her oxygen.
		Giving us a character who is intimately connected to the Alnair spacecraft incident really personalizes that catastrophe and makes the mission of collecting garbage in space more personal and less bureaucratic.
		And there are many other changes one can note in Yuri due to the Alnair incident.

	The Oil We Eat (Harpers.org)
		The nitrogen fertilizes artificially large blooms of algae that in growing suck all the oxygen from the water, a condition biologists call anoxia, which means “oxygen-depleted.” Here there’s no need to calculate long-term effects, because life in such places has no long term: everything dies immediately.
		This explains why the Mississippi River, which drains the nation’s Corn Belt, is an environmental catastrophe.
		There is a very narrow group of annuals, however, that grow in patches of a single species and store almost all of their income as seed, a tight bundle of carbohydrates easily exploited by seed eaters such as ourselves.

	Fishing in the North Atlantic: What's Left?
		The lowered oxygen level in the ocean resulted from stimulated algae may be enough to effect the growth of young fishes in the region where UV radiation was increased.
		Diffusion is the only way oxygen can get into the blood.
		This downward spiral was even acknowledged by the United Nation as a cause for severe economic and environmental catastrophe (Safina, 1995).

	The Genesis Flood
		- Catastrophism is the theory that a significant portion of the geologic structure of the earth was formed in a global catastrophe of short duration, years rather than millions of years.
		There are also compounds and elements that readily vaporize, including chemically inert noble gases, such as argon, krypton, and xenon, and the elements nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.” (16)
		The theory of uniformitarianism was advanced by James Hutton (1726-1797) in his publication, Theory of the Earth.

	List Of Space Disasters
		On October 24, 1960 a rocket exploded on a Soviet launchpad killing 126 people in what is known in the West as the Nedelin catastrophe.
		On March 19, 1981 during preparations for STS-1, at the end of the 33 hour long Shuttle Dry Countdown Demonstration Test, Columbia's aft engine compartment was under a nitrogen purge to prevent the buildup of oxygen and hydrogen gases from the propulsion system.
		Another Soyuz crew was saved by their escape system on 26 September 1983, when the rocket that was to carry their Soyuz TM-10 mission into space caught fire on the launch pad.

	MECHANISMS OF AGING
		The "error catastrophe" theory of aging proposed that accumulating damage to synthesized proteins resulted in damage to the machinery of synthesis itself, leading to an escalating viscious circle of malfunctioning cellular components.
		For biological systems, oxygen free radicals are the most important, in particular superoxide (
		Free radicals are highly reactive molecules or atoms that have an unpaired electron in an outer orbital that is not contributing to molecular bonding ("free").

	Interview with William Irwin Thompson
		The myth of St Michael the archangel, forcing the demons down into the underworld, is a description of the anaerobic catastrophe, where the new cyanobacteria who were breathing oxygen and creating the new atmosphere, forced the anaerobic bacteria down into the slime at the bottom of lakes.
		Plato discusses this in the myth of Er at the end of the Republic which is one of the first descriptions of the death experience.
		So, it seems that when we look at the myths of hominization and the emergence of humanity, there are some biological lessons about what happens when a species enters a new ecological niche like when our ancestors went from forests to savannah.

		Chandra was able to show that the X-rays were coming from the two nuclei, and determine their X-ray spectra.
