چکیده
Deep sea exploration and exploitation are of an increasingly interest to human beings in the 21 century. Manned and unmanned deep submergence vehicles are necessary means for deep sea explorations. In order to fulfill the requirements of deep sea explorations of COMRA (China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association), a deep manned submersible is developed in China and it is now named “Harmony”. The purpose of this paper is to briefly introduce the development process, including design, construction and open water tank test.

EEG and ECG changes during deep-sea manned submersible operation
Background: Deep-sea manned submersible operation could induce mental workload and influence neurophysiological measures. Psychophysiological responses to submersible operation are not well known. The main aim of this study was to investigate changes in EEG and ECG components and subjective mental stress of pilots during submersible operation. Methods: There were 6 experienced submersible pilot...
متن کاملImprovement of the heave motion of a semi-submersible platform with damping sheets subjected to sea waves
In this study, the damping sheets were attached to a semi-submersible platform to mitigate the heave motions. We first examined a typical GVA4000 semi-sub under a monochromatic linear wave train in deep water. an analytical method based on diffraction theory was used to determine the heave motion response. The results revealed that the analytical results show good agreement with available exper...

Two deep-water species of caridean shrimps collected during recent dives by the Chinese manned submersible "Jiaolong" represents new records for the South China Sea: Alvinocaris longirostris Kikuchi & Ohta, 1995 (Alvinocarididae) and Acanthephyra faxoni Calman, 1939 (Acanthephyridae). Specimens of these two species were collected from Jiaolong Cold Seep I, off Guangdong Province, China (depth 1...

A new species of the deep-sea spongicolid genus Spongicoloides Hansen, 1908 is described and illustrated based on material from the northwestern Pacific. Spongicoloides weijiaensissp. n. was found inside a hexactinellid sponge, Euplectella sp., sampled by the Chinese manned submersible "Jiaolong" at depths of 2279 m near the Weijia Guyot, in the Magellan Seamount Chain. The new species can be d...
