Abstract

Background:

Recreational scuba diving courses have safety procedures in their curriculum to be followed in case of emergencies. However, the actual diving is often performed months after the training. Because these procedures are counterinstinctive, when emergencies occur the divers in panic cannot follow them.

Materials And Methods:

Thus a virtual environment was developed, presenting several emergency situations that may occur during a recreational dive. It used an Intel(®) (Santa Clara, CA) Core™2 Duo (1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM) PC and Adobe (San Jose, CA) Fireworks and Adobe Flash 8 for animation and programming. The procedures to be followed were the standards of the Association of Dive Schools.

Results And Conclusion:

This research found that the performance of divers on a questionnaire on diving safety procedures is very different than in the virtual environment.

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...

Testing Water Quality

Testing Water Quality

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...
