Dominic D'Agostino developed an atomic force microscope in a hyperbaric chamber for the Defense Department. The objective was understandably a little vague but it sounds like studying the mechanism(s) of oxygen toxicity. In the process, he discovered that superoxide anion became many times...

I found this video interesting on several levels.

Thanks for the heads up. Note that J. B. S. Haldane was the son of John Scott Haldane who did the original work on DCS at in the early 1900s for the British Admiralty. John Scott Haldane, 1860-1936) was a fascinating guy. Suffer and Survive: The Extreme Life of J.S. Haldane is also a great...

There are a lot of variables including the radar itself (power, sensitivity, etc), vessel stability, and height of radar antenna. My test mentioned above was on a 42' vessel, calm seas, and the antenna was about 24' above waterline. 500m/1640' is not unreasonable if you are on a 16' Boston...

ScubaBoard's Advanced Search function, using the "Search threads" tab, allows searching for threads with specific Title Prefix flags, like For Sale: See: FAQ ScubaBoard Search

Two criteria considered when a new forum suggestion is made is will it make it easier for readers to find relevant information and be clearly the appropriate forum for the OP (Original Poster). Should a "bad liveaboard behavior" post be in the offending company forum (if there is one), the...

Let's think about the objective of forums. Obviously grouping related subjects is first but helping members find information of interest is a close second. The first argues for having maps in the related geographic forum. So how can we make them easier to find? One method that worked pretty...

When you say section, do you mean a new forum for maps? Wouldn't it make more sense to have those threads in the geographic forum they relate to?

What format would these maps be in? Image files are pretty limited due to resolution, but they are easily displayed in a post. Scalable formats like a vector-based file in a pdf file can be included as an attachment.

FYI, I moved this thread from the Site Support to the Suggestions (to improve ScubaBoard) forum. I also made it a "Suggestion" thread type so so it can be voted on. I also added the "Suggestion" thread prefix flag to make it easier to spot in New Posts lists. Can you or anyone else think...

Wow, excellent work. Thank you.

Note this post was moved from the Accidents, Incidents, and Near Misses Forum We considered that but decided that colors tended to infer a priority, which we didn't want to influence. There will be times where 2 or more Prefixes could overlap. Also, this color combo was rarely used in other...

Is that a bad thing as long as it meets this criteria? For example, there isn't much divers can learn from a story of a cruise ship passenger that disappears and is never seen again. The same for a container ship crewman that is crushed by shifting cargo or an injured sailor on an aircraft...

The Accident & Incidents forum has evolved for more than 20 years. We have decided that our member’s and reader’s best interest would be served by making the following changes: Forum Objective: Discuss incidents that are near, on, or under the water that divers can learn from. The main...

Sure, but it happens in verbal and written discussions too. It is rare that there is zero transition.

With some relatively minor exceptions for customization ScubaBoard's Web and phone interface is governed by xenForo, the software the board runs on. We run a number of 3rd party add-ons but they are often problematic when they aren't upgraded to xenForo's latest updates. Custom programming would...
