The Planck dive

To dive or not to dive.

Sea dive

shortcoming because it would have allowed to compare conditions under which potential conflicts become real conflicts (e.g. the conflict over sex ratio) and those where they don't (e.g. conflict over queen rearing) — a crucial criterion for the superorganism. The final chapters are devoted to the Ponerine ants — a subfamily characterized by its staggering diversity and by its primitive social o...

Bleomycin and scuba diving: to dive or not to dive?

Bleomycin is to treat patients with testicular cancer and lymphoma. Bleomycin can bind to DNA and chelate iron. The resulting complex can form an intermediate capable of interacting with oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species, particularly superoxide. Administrating high-inspired oxygen concentrations (e.g. during anaesthesia or acute illness) has been reported to exacerbate pulmonary injury...

The Dive/Tcl Behaviour Interface

The example shows how the "move_up" Tcl procedure is registered (by "dive_register") to be invoked when a Dive "select" (interaction signal of type select) occurs at the object which contains the script. The "move_up" procedure itself only calls "dive_move" to displace the object. Note that no Dive-Tcl commands, such as "dive_move", should be invoked in the script itself, only in a procedure, s...

Validation of Dive Computers

This paper reviews a workshop on the validation of dive computers that was convened by the Baromedical and Environmental Physiology Group of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology on 24 August 2011 in Gdansk, Poland as part of the European Underwater and Baromedical Society annual scientific meeting. The use of dive computers by working (commercial inshore) divers in Norway to deter...
