  2. Haldane effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane_effect

    Thus, the Haldane effect describes the ability of hemoglobin to carry increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the deoxygenated state as opposed to the oxygenated state. Vice versa, it is true that a high concentration of CO 2 facilitates dissociation of oxyhemoglobin, though this is the result of two distinct processes (Bohr effect and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_laws_concerning...

    The phrase in the Fourteenth Amendment reversed the conditional clause to read: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This was applied by the Supreme Court in the 1898 case United States v.

  4. History of decompression research and development - Wikipedia

    This painting, An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby, 1768, depicts an experiment originally performed by Robert Boyle in 1660. Decompression in the context of diving derives from the reduction in ambient pressure experienced by the diver during the ascent at the end of a dive or hyperbaric exposure and refers to both the reduction in pressure and the process of ...

  5. Haldane's decompression model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane's_decompression_model

    Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient pressure that was proposed in 1908 by the Scottish physiologist, John Scott Haldane (2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936), [1] who was also famous for intrepid self-experimentation.

    These "enemy aliens," many of whom had resided in the United States for decades, were arrested without warrants or formal charges. They were held in immigration stations and various requisitioned sites, often for months, before receiving a hearing (without the benefit of legal counsel or defense witnesses) and being released, paroled, or ...

  7. Effect of oxygen on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_oxygen_on...

    The Haldane effect: most carbon dioxide is carried by the blood as bicarbonate, and deoxygenated hemoglobin promotes the production of bicarbonate. Increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood by administering supplemental oxygen reduces the amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin, and thus reduces the capacity of blood to carry carbon dioxide.

  8. Green card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_card

    Green-card holders may petition for permanent residency for their spouse and children. [58] U.S. green-card holders have experienced separation from their families, sometimes for years. A mechanism to unite families of green-card holders was created by the LIFE Act by the introduction of a "V visa", signed into law by President Clinton. The law ...

  9. Chloride shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride_shift

    The opposite process occurs in the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs when the PO 2 rises and PCO 2 falls, and the Haldane effect occurs (release of CO 2 from hemoglobin during oxygenation). This releases hydrogen ions from hemoglobin, increases free H + concentration within RBCs, and shifts the equilibrium towards CO 2 and water formation from ...
