...River, which then spills out into the Gulf of Mexico. Those chemicals help feed crops on land, but as they build up in the still, warm waters of the Gulf, they in turn feed excess growth of algae. When algae dies and decomposes, the process sucks much of the oxygen out of the water. A sea without oxygen is little different from the surface of the moon - nothing can live there. Fish and other sea life flee, or suffocate. That's the Gulf's dead zone, and last year it reached 7,915 sq. mi (20,500 sq. km) - nearly...
Another confounding issue in Hannah's case is the finding that she suffers from a mitochondrial disorder - a dysfunction in basic cell metabolism. Mitochondria serve as power generators for each cell in the body, converting food and oxygen into energy. There are a wide range of these disorders, causing symptoms that vary widely but can include muscle weakness, cardiac or liver disease, diabetes, developmental delays and susceptibility to infection. In Hannah's case, the vaccine court determined that the underlying dysfunction of her mitochondria put her at an increased risk of injury from vaccines...
...This is precisely the insight that shed some light on the identity of Jane Doe. Twenty strands of Jane Doe's hair were analyzed using this method discovered by Ehleringer and Cerling. By studying the variation in hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in hair and water in different parts of the United States, they are able to relate it to where a person lives. "From her hair we know that she spent the last two years of her life in the Salt Lake City area and the Intermountain West and that she moved every couple of months," says Salt Lake County...
...About 3.8 billion years ago—the age of the sedimentary rocks collected by Opportunity—Earth had oceans, life, and an atmosphere capable of sustaining greenhouse warmth but without oxygen,” said Knoll, who added that the calculations on ancient water activity on Mars were performed by Harvard postdoctoral fellow Nicholas J. Tosca. “Mars was dry, acidic, and at least mildly oxidizing...
...exceeds - that of Raul's position as head of state. If Raul and his allies can wrest that clout from the Fidelistas, change in Cuba is expected to have more breathing space. Until then, it stands to look more like an old man who needs a canister of oxygen...
