Approval, whenever given, does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of DARPA, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ABSTRACT The Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawai‘i, under funding from DARPA, initiated an R&D project to advance the design, testing, and deployment of technologies and systems that produce electrical power from methane and associated compounds in the seafloor sediment in situ. The goals of this effort are to identify viable systems for a range of possible mission profiles and available methane resource; and to demonstrate feasibility of concept of these systems through experimentation and performance characterizations of key technologies. During the present project period, the principal objectives were to conduct a technology review, and initiate system design and performance analyses.

In July , a new zoning plan took effect for the entire Marine Park, and has been widely acclaimed as a new global benchmark for marine ecosystem conservation. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Lying off the Queensland coast, that great system of coral reefs and atolls owes its origin to a combination of continental drift into warmer waters , rifting, sea-level change, and subsidence.

The log may either be in a book, The Divers Logbook hosted softwareor web based. The log serves purposes both related to safety and personal records. Information in a log may contain the date, time and location, the profile of the diveequipment used, air usage, above and below water conditions, including temperature, current, wind and waves, general comments, and verification by the buddyinstructor or supervisor. In case of a diving accident, it The Divers Logbook provide valuable data regarding diver's previous experience, as well as the other factors that might have led to the accident itself. Recreational divers are generally advised to keep a logbook as a record, while professional divers may be legally obliged to maintain a logbook which is up to date and complete in its records. The professional diver's logbook is a legal document and may be important for getting employment. The required content and formatting of the professional diver's logbook is generally specified by the registration authority, but may also be specified by an industry association such as the International Marine Contractors Association IMCA.

  • A Compact Artificial Gill Using a Hemoglobin Solution As a Thermo
    A Compact Artificial Gill using a Hemoglobin Solution as a Thermo-responsive Oxygen Carrier On-line Number 349 Kenichi Nagase, Fukashi Kohori, and Kiyotaka Sakai Department of Chemical Engineering, Waseda University, 3-4-1 Okubo, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-8555, Japan E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A compact artificial gill was developed using a concentrated hemoglobin solution containing inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) as the oxygen carrier solution. Oxygen dissolved in seawater is first taken up from water to the oxygen carrier solution at 293 K. The oxygen carrier solution is then heated and the oxygen is released from the oxygen carrier solution to expired air at 310 K. The enhancement factors of oxygen carrier solution that indicates its performance were approximately 3 for the oxygen uptake and 16 for the oxygen release, respectively. The scaling up for a human at rest was estimated. The required membrane surface area and seawater flow rates were 63.8 m2 and 0.00653 m3/s, respectively. These values indicate the feasibility of a compact and portable artificial gill for human underwater activity. KEYWORDS Artificial gill, Oxygen transfer, Hemoglobin, Facilitated transport INTRODUCTION An artificial gill is a device for the uptake of oxygen from water to air through a gas permeable membrane, driven by an oxygen partial pressure difference between the water and air. It enables humans to breathe underwater, thereby extending the time that can be spent underwater, whether for scuba diving, sea rescue, sea exploration, or in a sea-bed city. It could help to achieve the dream of swimming like fish and living in the sea.

    Chapter 5 5.1 Introduction A fish can exchange gases effectively by the indirect contact of blood with water in its gills. The excellent mechanism of fish gill has been studied in the fields of biology, marine zoology, and chemical engineering. Elucidation of the mechanism of a fish gill provides a hint on further improvement of artificial gill. Yamamoto et al. [1] and Schumann and Piiper [2,3] observed the change in oxygen consumption with varying the activity level of fish. Matsuda and Sakai have evaluated the oxygen transfer rate of fish gills by computer simulation analysis [4,5]. They demonstrate that the biological membrane is the rate-determining for oxygen transfer through the secondary lamellae. This is because the blood and water channels are very narrow, and these narrow channels reduce gas transfer resistances in blood and water. They also suggested that the optimal gas exchange module for membrane type artificial gill from the analysis results of computer simulation. On the other hand, the rate-determining step in artificial gill is located in the oxygen uptake device as shown in chapters 3 and 4. Thus, the oxygen uptake should be enhanced in order to improve the artificial gill. In the artificial gill, oxygen is taken up from water to the oxygen carrier solution through a gas-permeable membrane in the artificial gill, in the same way that oxygen is taken up from water to blood through a biological membrane in a biological gill. Elucidation of the oxygen uptake mechanisms of the biological gill would provides a hint on further improvement of oxygen uptake in the artificial gill.
