Asteroid AttackWritten by K.A.Cassimally
Earth, ‘our mother planet’, is being attacked everyday by about 25 tons of dust and sand-sized particles. An asteroid, size of a small car, hits Earth’s atmosphere about once in every year.Fortunately she knows how to defend herself. When that small car-sized asteroid enters her atmosphere, she burns asteroid up before latter touches her surface. So no damage is done. But what exactly are asteroids? Asteroids are fragments from formation of Solar System some 4.6 billion years ago. Fortunately, most asteroids are found in Asteroid Belt found between planets Mars and Jupiter, gas giant. Scientists think that asteroids found in belt can be as big as 940 km across. Like everybody though, Earth cannot cope with each and every one of asteroids. If an asteroid has managed not to be completely burned up while sprinting into Earth’s atmosphere, then ???? Scientists think that collision would cause local damage to surrounding area. If that same asteroid however measures more than 1 km across when it touches Earth’s surface, disaster is on its way. Scientists believe that this impact could have worldwide effects. Man however is helping or trying to help our mother Earth. Astronomers are now observing and tracking asteroids, which are at an average distance from Earth to Moon. By immediately tracking potential dangers and learning more about their orbital paths, scientists have more time to study potentially threatening situations. In next few years, NASA hopes to discover more than 90% of all Earth’s threatening objects larger than 1 km across.

"It was not so difficult to invent a new basic technology of Chromatography - Chromabarography; it is rather difficult to wait for its wide practical use for development of science in benefit of mankind!" Aram Hayrapetyan There are best chromatographs in world, most modern technological elaborations, but there is not one, which provides maximum efficiency of chromatographic column. I have a lot of secrets in field of chromatography! One of them is attainment of maximum possible efficiency of chromatographic column (HAYRAPETYAN'S Effect). It is provided with new basic technology of chromatography - CHROMABAROGRAPHY (Russia patent "Chromatograph of A. S. Hayrapetyan"). The essence of new basic technology of chromatography - chromabarography is provision of optimal conditions of analysis by keeping unchanged linear rate of an imaginary point - zone of sample moved in time by carrier-gas from inlet to outlet of chromatographic column, ∆ p being kept constant at its ends during whole cycle of analysis, by which a maximum column efficiency (Hayrapetyan's Effect) is attained. What is Chromabarography? The answer may be so: Or . . . so: The main advantages of proposed technology in practical analysis may be generated in form of following propositions: Attainment of maximum possible efficiency of column on account of providing optimal conditions of analysis by keeping unchanged linear rate of an imaginary point - zone of sample moved in time by carrier-gas from inlet to outlet of chromatographic column; Reduction of analysis time for a wide range of mixtures, which allows to work with a shorter column (economy of solid support, liquid phase, column material) and at much lower temperatures (economy of electricity) for which relative retention is generally high. Thus best separation is attained without increasing analysis time. This means an increase in productivity of routine analyses and elaboration of chromatographic methods; Due to fact that it is possible to work at lower temperatures (economy of electricity) amount of liquid phases used in given analysis is increased. At same time low working temperatures may become necessary for certain thermally unstable samples (increase in column service time);
