A gauntlet-wearing knight would challenge a fellow knight or enemy to a duel by throwing one of his gauntlets on the ground. The opponent would pick up the gauntlet to accept the challenge.
Oxygen demanding wastes: Waters 'enriched' with wastes or nutrients from human, domestic or wildlife are likely candidates for oxygen depletion. Rapid microbial growth spurred on by excess nutrient availability requires oxygen-lots of oxygen.aters 'enriched' with wastes or nutrients from human, domestic or wildlife are likely candidates for oxygen depletion.

Oxygen is a gas and its molecules do exert a pressure but, like glucose, oxygen also has a finite content in the blood, in units of ml O 2 /dl blood. To remain viable tissues require a certain amount of oxygen per minute, a need met by a requisite oxygen content, not oxygen pressure. (Patients can and do live with very low PaO 2 values, as long as their oxygen content and cardiac output are adequate.) The oxygen carrying capacity of one gram of hemoglobin is 1.34 ml.
