  4. 2. Cardiovascular and hematological responses to voluntary apnea in humans

    Author : Robert de Bruijn; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organism biology; Organismbiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with cardiovascular and hematological responses to voluntary apnea in humans, with a special focus on O2 usage and storage. Humans, and many other air‐breathing animals, respond to apnea (breath holding) with a collection of interacting cardiovascular reflexes, which are collectively called the diving response. READ MORE

  5. 3. Underwater Worlds : An Ethnography of Waste, Pollution, and Marine Life

    Author : Rasmus Rodineliussen; Bengt Karlsson; Helena Wulff; Marianne Lien; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aquabiopolitics; Lake Mälaren; Marine Life; Pollution; Relations; Science; Social Media; Stockholm; The Baltic Sea; Time; Trash Diving; Violence; Visibility; Waste; Water; Social Anthropology; socialantropologi;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, I investigate relations between humans, waste, pollution, and marine life. I introduce the concept of Aquabiopolitics as a means to understand how humans govern life in water in order to enrich human life on land. READ MORE

  6. 4. The human diving response : effects of temperature and training

    Author : Erika Schagatay; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Djurfysiologi; pig; human; training; breath-holding time; breaking point; cold-receptors; arterial blood; vasoconstriction; bradycardia; diving reflex; diving response; Breath-hold diving; Animal physiology; simulated diving; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; Sports; Idrott; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The aim was to elucidate the cardiovascular response associated with breath-hold diving, especially the effects of temperature in its elicitation and the effects of different types of training on the human diving response (DR) and breath-holding time (BHT), and to evaluate the human DR in a mammalian perspective. A model for simulated diving by apnea and facial immersion in cold water was developed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters

    Author : Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou; Irina Temiz; Mats Leijon; Tony Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : offshore deployments; risk assessment; wave energy converter installation; marine current energy converter installation; economic efficiency; time efficiency; offshore operations; point absorber; hydrodynamic analysis; slack sling criterion; hoisting system failure.;

    Abstract : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. READ MORE
