Download or read book Techniques for Diving Deeper Than 1 500 Feet written by E. B. Smith and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop consisted of five sessions: Operational problems; High Pressure Neurological Syndrome (HPNS) in man; HPNS: mechanisms and potential methods of amelioration; Additional environmental limits; Clarification of future strategy. It was initialed as a sequel and an update of a previous workshop entitled 'Strategy for future diving to depths greater than 1000 feet.' It is apparent that there is a continuing need for free divers operating at depth, particularly in the acquisition of undersea energy sources. A recent development that increases the capability of the diver at depth is the addition of nitrogen to the helium-oxygen breathing mixture. It must be stated, however, that the underlying mechanisms which govern the effects of high pressures and dissolved gases are not yet well understood, and a considerable research effort must be made in order to place deep diving on a more secure basis.

Download or read book Environmental Physiology written by F. Obál and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Physiological Sciences, Volume 18: Environmental Physiology covers the physiological mechanisms in living organisms. This book discusses the circadian system properties and the control of secretion in reptilian salt glands. This book deals first with the central neural substrates for osmoregulation in the mammal; properties of the body fluids affecting basal salt gland secretion and urine formation in birds; properties of sleep-promoting factor S derived from human urine; and interrelation between sleep and temperature regulation. Other chapters present an introduction to hormonal and pharmacological aspects in exercise physiology, as well as the physiological responses during sustained isomeric contractions. These topics are followed by a discussion on the mechanism of exercise, nutrition, and growth. The last chapters are devoted to the oxytocin influences on the central nervous system of healthy young men. These chapters also describe drug metabolism in athletes. The book can provide useful information to veterinarians, scientists, students, and researchers.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provided here is an up to date account of how high pressures affect cellularprocesses in microorganisms and in eukaryotic cells. Topics include membranetransport, cell activation, the excitable properties of cells, muscular contraction, with particular emphasis on cardiac muscle, and the role of pressure in the physiology of cartilage in load bearing joints. Additionally there are thorough reviews of the effects of pressure on fish and on the central nervous system of mammals, including man.

Book excerpt: This two-volume book is the product of an international effort, with contributions from scholars from eight countries, who made presentations at the Second International Symposium on Man in the Sea. This symposium was organized in part to bring together world reknowned scientists to discuss the current knowledge of human performance in the sea, and to illustrate the importance of international cooperation in diving research. Volume I spans the three major features of Saturation Diving, Compression, Pressure, Adaptation, and Decompression. Volume II encompasses Sports Diving, Hyperbaric Medicine, and One-atmosphere Vehicles.
