The National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council Twin Registry (NAS-NRC Twin Registry) is a comprehensive registry of White male twin pairs born in the USA between 1917 and 1927, both of the twins having served in the military. The purpose was medical research and ultimately improved clinical care. The cohort was assembled in the early 1960s with identification of approximately 16,000...

Reprinted from PHYSIOLOGY OF BREATH-HOLD DIVING AND THE AMA OF JAPAN Publication 1341, 1965 National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council ADAPTATION TO BREATH-HOLD DIVING

During the training of submarine crews in submarine escape procedures, such as "free or buoyant ascent, "instructors at the escape training tank frequently hold their breath under water and perform "skin" dives to depths as great as 90 feet. The ascent is carried out by climbing up a'line. These diving maneuvers are similar to those practiced by sponge and pearl divers. The escape training tank...

Mobile Edge Computing: Survey and Research Outlook

Driven by the visions of Internet of Things and 5G communications, recent years have seen a paradigm shift in mobile computing, from the centralized Mobile Cloud Computing towards Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). The main feature of MEC is to push mobile computing, network control and storage to the network edges (e.g., base stations and access points) so as to enable computation-intensive and late...
