Blue Abyss is a proposed aquatic research and training facility in the UK that will include the world's largest and deepest indoor pool. It aims to support commercial diving, remote operated vehicles, human spaceflight research, and human life science. The multi-level pool will contain over 38,000 cubic meters of water and reach depths of 50 meters, allowing it to simulate conditions in the ocean and space. Blue Abyss intends to provide a safe and customizable environment for training, research, and development across many industries.
http://www.quickstartcareers.org I remember it think it’s great was this morning, the summer months of my school graduation. Although many of good friends were setting up what college we were looking at going to help, I hasn't been. My mama needed everyone home well, i can handle my more radiant sisters though she ran out to do the job.

Exploration to change the world,
A zero fuel airplane flying day and night on solar energy.
An epic journey around the world to promote clean technologies!
Did you know that scientists have found a way to grow human body parts, print medicine and turn toxic chemicals into gold? Read about the science behind Hurricane Sandy’s devastating tidal surge, learn how a man broke the sound barrier and how physics may actually prove there is a God. Designed to filter through the social media conversation, FLTR focuses on one topic during one moment in time. This month we look at science, specifically how it helps us discover, advance, dream and understand.

"An interesting tour from underwater habitats to space, passing through a revolutionary research project where diving plays a key role to better understand human performance in extreme environments."
The article is published on the March 2019 edition of the Divers for the Environment magazine produced by Emirates Diving Association, a non-profit voluntary federal organization based in Dubai, United Arab of Emirates.
The Apollo Foundation is a hypothetical non-profit that would focus on building the groundwork for a spacefaring human civilization. My dream is to start this one day with my own money and that of other supporters. Always looking for feedback!

Dinosaur metabolism
Directions: For this lab you will be able to download the document and TYPE your answers on it. You can then submit it to Dropbox on Pilot. You will also need to utilize your book and/or Google to help with answering the questions.
Laboratory objective: The purpose of this laboratory is to introduce the student to dinosaur metabolism and what factors cause the debate over whether the dinosaurs were cold or warm blooded.
Laboratory discussion: The debate over whether dinosaurs are warm or cold blooded is a complex one. Many factors such as growth rate, respiration, scaling, and temperature regulation can affect the dinosaur’s metabolism.
Laboratory activities:
Part I: Growth Rates
The curves above represent the body mass (in tons) of the giant crocodilian Deinosuchus (line A) and the ceratopsian Triceratops (dashed line B), both of which are found in the Montana Group deposits of the American West.
1) At what age does Triceratops growth level off?
2) At what age does Deinosuchus growth level off?
3) Which of these reptiles grew at a rate more like a modern mammal (i.e., fast)? [Triceratops | Deinosuchus]
Part II: Dinosaur Respiration (Lungs)
Food is only part of metabolism. Another important aspect is respiration: without oxygen, there isn’t much metabolism!! Recent work by Colleen Farmer, David Carrier, and Elizabeth Brainerd on modern animals has revealed a lot more diversity in vertebrate respiration than previously known. For example, mammalian breath (which uses the ribs plus a muscular diaphragm, but doesn’t use a throat pump) is just plain weird!
Here is a look at some of the techniques used to get air down into the lungs:
• Buccal pumping (swallowing air): used by air-breathing fish and amphibians
• Gular pumping (using an actively pumping throat): used by lizards and crocodilians
• Costal breathing (moving ribs in and out): all amniotes but rib bless frogs
• Diaphragm breathing: mammals
• Hepatic piston (liver pumping): crocodilians
• Air Sac pumping: birds
Interestingly, both crocodilians and birds use their pelvic (hip) muscles in breathing. In the figure on the previous page, A is a modern alligator. When the rectus abdominis muscle contracts it pulls the pubis forward, pushing the liver forward and forcing air out of the lungs (expiration). When the ischiopubic and diaphragmatic muscles contract, it pulls the liver backwards, causing the lungs to expand and draw in air (inspiration). B shows respiration in a pigeon. During inspiration the sternum rotates downward and the longissimus dorsi muscles contracts to pull the tail up: together, these inflate some of the air sacs in the body. During expiration the infrapubic and suprapubic abdominal muscles contract to pull the sternum up and the tail down, pushing air out of the sacs. Below is a drawing showing the air sac system of a bird, in left lateral view. C, I, AT, PT, and AB are different individual air sacs—you don’t need to worry ab ...

2. THE PROMISE
Blue Abyss is among the most ground-breaking
projects of its time. Designed to support the
commercial diving, remote operated vehicle,
human spaceflight and human life science
sectors, Blue Abyss promises to be Europe’s
premier extreme environment research,
development and training facility.
This unique aquatic centre will house the
world’s largest and deepest indoor pool,
alongside: hyper and hypobaric chambers; the
Kuehnegger Human Performance Centre; a
micro-gravity simulation suspension suite for
replicating the effects of weightlessness and
hypo-gravity; amphitheatre and classrooms;
cafeteria and 120-bed hotel.

on one hand, and freediving on the other, with a huge variety of
applications in between.
Manufacturers can test whole Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV)
assemblies and researchers can evaluate new diving equipment
and the effects of prolonged periods of submersion on the body.
Commercial and recreational divers can conduct their training at
various depths, while freedivers can also test their mettle in the
50m deep shaft.

THE POSSIBILITIES
Blue Abyss is a truly pioneering project that will extend the
possibilities for education, commercial and scientific research,
development and training beyond anything that exists today.
Imagine the perfect training environment: a safe, highly
supervised indoor space available year-round, day and night. The
pool will have controls to mimic sea and lighting conditions and
the capacity to insert large training craft. It will house a 30-tonne
crane, tie-down points and lifting platforms, and offer roof access
for larger items. Its multiple depths allow for separate activities
to occur simultaneously, and high-definition cameras will capture
it all.
These facilities will enable the pool to be customised for a huge
range of uses and facilitate the most realistic testing, training and
operational exercises.
