Download or read book Underwater Physiology written by C. J. Lambertsen and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book On the Gunline U S Navy and Royal Australian Navy Warships Off Vietnam 1965 1973 written by David D. Bruhn and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Vietnam War, 270 U.S. Navy and four Royal Australian Navy warships served at various times on the gunline. Within this armada were the battleship New Jersey, ten cruisers, 212 destroyers, fifty destroyer escorts, and the inshore fire support ship Carronade. When necessary, naval guns poured out round after round, until their barrels overheated and turned red, exterior paint blistered, and rifled-barrel liners were worn smooth. Allied troops locked in battle with North Vietnamese Army or Viet Cong troops in South Vietnam were grateful for artillery support from the sea. When North Vietnam launched the Easter Offensive across the DMZ in 1972, eight to ten ships in line, abreast, often firing simultaneously and around the clock, delivered desperately needed fire support. At one point, over forty cruisers and destroyers were serving together on the gunline. Warships conducting SEA DRAGON and LINEBACKER operations--naval bombardment of military targets along the coast of North Vietnam--came under fire on a number of occasions. Runs in to within five miles of a hostile shore, to strike Vinh, Haiphong, and other targets, often preceded duels with shore batteries. Most such action occurred at mission completion as ships zigzagged, while racing seaward at high speed to clear the coast, to throw off the aim of enemy gunners. This book highlights the grit, determination, and heroism of young men--many who would likely have preferred the laid-back lifestyle of the 1960s, were it not for their country's call to arms. Photographs; maps and diagrams; appendices; a bibliography; and an index to full-names, places and subjects add value to this work.

Download or read book 40 Dives 40 Dishes written by Al and Freda Wright and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unusual that a scuba diving liveaboard should be known for anything other than the quality of the diving service it offers. The MV Salutay is that rare exception. Not only does she offer a top and innovative diving service and access to some of the best diving around the United Kingdom and Northern France, she also has divers returning every year because of the wonders that her galley produces. Chef Freda Wright has been getting requests for recipes for many years and generations of divers have begged her to produce a cookbook, so that they can continue to enjoy her mouth-watering meals and snacks when they go home. This is the cookbook that they wanted: a selection of soups, main courses, desserts and snacks that divers aboard the MV Salutay have been enjoying for decades and that now you can cook at home for family and friends. As well as the easy-to-follow recipes, this book also includes diving tales from the three decades that Freda and her husband, captain and technical diving pioneer Al Wright, have been exploring British, Irish and French waters. From the story of how Al discovered three major shipwrecks off Malin Head, Ireland at the dawn of the technical diving revolution to diving with seals in St. Kilda and descriptions of exploring the D-Day wrecks in the Baie de Seine, these anecdotes are clips of British diving history: essential reading for new divers and veterans alike.

Download or read book Swanage Past written by David Lewer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swanage was already an old settlement when, in AD 877, a Viking fleet was wrecked there; chased by King Alfred, as recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The Romans knew the place and quarried its stone for fine work, such as inscribed memorials, found as far away as Colchester. By the 13th century the quarries had become a major industry, with Purbeck 'marble' shipped for use in many of the cathedrals and churches throughout the Kingdom, and beyond. Always noted for its striking scenery, produced by its unusual geology, Swanage starts its story back in geological time, when dinosaurs left their bones in the Purbeck rocks. After centuries of primary production - quarrying, farming and fishing - the early 19th century brought a Cinderella transformation into an elegant watering place after Morton Pitt developed the Manor House Hotel (renamed Royal Victoria when the young Princess Victoria stayed there with her mother in 1833), though the elegance declined somewhat after the railway came in 1885, bringing day-trippers and holiday-makers who stayed a week or two. Now a full-blown resort, Swanage had a new pier serving regular paddle-steamers, on one of which Thomas Hardy arrived with his new bride to spend a year in lodgings at the cottage of the lifeboat coxswain ? The first edition of this book appeared in 1994, was widely acclaimed and quickly sold out. The authors have undertaken a complete revision, incorporating extra information from readers and their own further research. Every aspect of Swanage history is explored and explained in this very readable account by two well-known local historians. They convey in text and pictures not only a wealth of information but also their own enthusiasm for their subject ? Swanage Past
