The Royal Naval Physiological Laboratory (RNPL) has also found reason to doubt the Haldane concept of bubble formation and has developed its own decompression schedule (ref. 411). The RNPL table and the decompression table used by the French Ministry of Labor (FL) are based on diffusion theory (ref. 411). The most characteristic feature of these tables is the deeper first stop during decompression after diving, with the result that the total decompression time is prolonged to approximately 3 times the... 

Measurements of SO in Southern Norway diving the months of May, June and July (Clark, P.A., Central Electricity Research Laboratories, personal communication) indicate that it is reasonable to consider that on average, polluted air leaving the East Coast of England and Scotland derives from emissions from one large conurbation and one 2000 MW power station. The consequence of above-average levels of pollution are also investigated.

The new developments came from an unexpected direction—from field (Kooyman et al., 1980) rather than laboratory studies—and they are marked by the advent of modern field study technologies, especially of microprocessor-assisted monitoring of aquatic animals while diving voluntarily in their natural envir-... 

Given this proviso (that maximum bradycardia values are similar in laboratory or field situations), the data indicate that the lowest heart rates observed during diving (maximum bradycardia) show little variation within pinnipeds (figure 4.6). As one of our colleagues put it all pinnipeds seem to be able to suppress heart rate down to the rock bottom PIC analysis of these data indicated that...

Mohamed S. Donia obtained his bachelor s degree in pharmacy in 2004 from the University of Suez Canal, Ismailia, Egypt. In 2005, he joined Dr. Schmidt s laboratory at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Utah to study the biosynthesis of marine natural products. Mohamed enjoys tennis and scuba diving.
