Mk 24 Full Face Mask Diaphragm Retainer Shroud Modification With The Ebs I And Ii

NEDU tested the utility and effectiveness of a modification to a second stage diaphragm retainer ring on the MK 24 Full Face Mask (FFM). The modification was designed to reduce regulator chatter without requiring an increase in second stage cracking pressure. The modification was tested with the FFM being used with both the Emergency Breathing System I (EBS I), and the EBS II. Regulator chatter was quantified by Total Narmonic Distortion (THD). TND was found to be inversely correlated with depth, and in most cases directly correlated with Respiratory Minute Volume (RMV). Therefore, chatter is expected to be the worst when a diver is shallow and breathing hard. At shallow depths where chatter is the greatest, the combination of the modified retainer with normal cracking pressure consistently resulted in lower chatter than did the Standard diaphragm retainer with an increased cracking pressure. This was true for both the EBS I and the EBS II.

Underwater Physiology is a collection of papers that deals with the physiologically limiting effects of undersea, high pressure exposure ranging from fundamental biological reactions, through integration of physiological stresses, and to limits actually experienced in deep diving. Papers discuss oxygen, the mechanisms of toxicity, and the effects of oxygen on cells and systems such as its pathological and physiological influences in the neurosensory ocular tissue. Other papers discuss the physical effects of pressure and gases on cellular function, protein structure, and the possibility of alleviating symptoms through the administration of drugs. Tests in mice show that various gases exhibit qualitative and semi-quantitative differences in the characteristics of sickness, reactions to hypoxia, and the time before the onset of symptoms. A computer, programmed for nonlinear gas transfer and other variables, running in real time can compute directly from the breathing mixture and provide a real time solution to decompression sickness under various conditions. A combined therapeutic approach, recompression and dextran (an effective lipemic clearing agent) should be capable of treating decompression sickness in humans. Other papers investigate the influence of inert gases and pressure on the central nervous system, as well as, situations in undersea and manned chamber operations. This collection can prove valuable for physiologists, biochemists, cellular biologists, and researchers involved in deep sea diving.

The proliferation and sophistication of riot control chemicals mean that all parties need to understand the responsible use and effects of such compounds. This book provides practical information on the history, chemistry, and biology of riot control agents and discusses their biological actions, risk assessment issues, and recent technical develop

In the deep-sea canyons and trenches of the Earth lie thousands of alien spacecraft and millions of their inhabitants who have to leave soon or risk being stranded forever, or being destroyed. Due to their physiology they have been unable to directly contact humans, but they are adroit at mental contact and remote viewing, when it suits them. They need the help of two humans to assure their safe escape, an experienced diving scientist and a beguiling but eccentric graduate student in Oceanography. The U.S. government is well aware of this deep sea civilization, and is desirous of the weapons the visitors possess. This top secret ambition puts the two unsuspecting divers in the middle of a conflict between powerful military forces and powerful intergalactic forces. Things could get messy. Even worse, jealous friends turn on the unlikely duo and put their lives at extreme risk. Middle Waters combines two separate Native American beliefs and legends with current events. It is a complex thriller with science fact and science fiction mixed in with military action and government intrigue. Also revealed are romantic possibilities that far exceed the capabilities of the mundane, everyday world. The protagonist eventually realizes that everything he has held dear is wrong, in one way or another. At the same time he discovers a reality that is the greatest blessing that man can receive.

Physiological Bases of Human Performance during Work and Exercise is a high-level physiology text for advanced students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of human physiology, exercise science and applied physiology. Eighty internationally recognised scientists from sixteen countries have written chapters within six areas: * Physiological performance limits and human adaptation * The physiological bases of gender differences in performance * Age and human performance * Performance under environmental extremes * Exercise and health interactions * Optimising performance through supplementation Each section contains state-of-the-art reviews of the scientific literature. To stimulate critical thinking, there are thirteen debates and discussions that focus on some of the controversial topics that exist across these disciplines.
