We contend that definitions have become blurred leading to first-order sonifications of functions and data being treated as synonymous with the secondand higher-order mappings obtained when graphs of...

Physiological Notes

Buckmaster has recently investigated the relations of carbon dioxide and haemoglobin. Arguing that venous blood has been shown by Gardner and himself to be capable of taking up and holding much larger quantities of carbon dioxide (nearly double the quantity) than the amount present in normal arterial blood; he concludes that there must be " some vehicle or vehicles for the assumption; of carbon...
