Survival Analysis And Maximum Likelihood Techniques As Applied To Physiological Modeling

Survival Analysis and Maximum Likelihood Techniques as Applied to Physiological Modeling

Oxygen Diving

The book provides a derivation of the models used for calculating the risk and hazard of central oxygen toxicity pertaining to diving-based studies consistent with the research conducted earlier by the Royal Navy and the US Navy. This book forms the basis for extending the possibility of undertaking nitrox dives in combination with oxygen dives, thus significantly increasing tactical capabilities of conducting diving special operations. Features: provides derivation of the models used for calculating the risk and hazard of central oxygen toxicity improves oxygen diving procedures described in the US Navy Diving Manual includes procedures applicable to undertaking nitrox dives in combination with oxygen dives pitches the material at highest technology readiness levels, i.e. 9 TRL aims to increase tactical capabilities of conducting diving special operations This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in life support system design, diving submarine safety, ventilation, health, sanitary engineering, mining engineering and working environment in chambers or closed compartments.

Rebreathers In Diving Science

This book covers investigations on the diving apparatus operational features, including research investigations, basics of measuring methods, their technical realization, elaboration, and discussion of the results. It contains analyses of research reports prepared in leading research diving centers to formulate opinions when comparing the methods used and equipment presented, including the accuracy of experiments, complexity analysis, laboratory expertise, metrology features of the used instruments, and correctness of the calibration procedures. Features: Presents a novel comprehensive approach to the design of semi-closed circuit diving apparatuses. Provides a methodically documented approach to the modelling and validation processes. Replaces statistical, empirical, or semi-empirical models with deterministic models, for which all parameters have physical interpretation. Includes flexible procedures at one of the highest technology readiness levels. Discusses the reasons for using artificial breathing media in special UBAs. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in life support system design, diving submarine safety, and ventilation.
