Since 2009, VIDA: Women in Literary Arts has been gathering data on the number of men and women published by literary publications and publishing the gender breakdowns in the form of easily digestible pie charts.
In too many cases, my breakdown takes the form of a fall or other accident of some kind.
I'm reminded of Edward O. Bland's film "The Cry of Jazz," from 1959, in which he presciently contemplates the role that modern jazz (embodied, in the film, by Sun Ra and his band) would play in the civil-rights movement — and the inevitable breakdown in musical form and function that would result.

With subduction of crustal rocks to mantle depths, the majority of water is released in the form of molecular water through breakdown of hydrous minerals.
Oxidative phosphorylation conserves energy from the breakdown of carbon substrates in the foods we ingest in the form of ATP, which is vital for cell function.
This degradation occurs in sequential steps, bio-deterioration (altering the chemical and physical properties of the polymer), bio-fragmentation (polymer breakdown in a simpler form via enzymatic cleavage) and assimilation (uptake of molecules by microorganisms) and mineralization (production of oxidized metabolites (CO2, CH4, H2O) after degradation), which are shown in Fig. 3.
