  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 ...

  3. 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.

    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.

    Coastal geography is the study of the dynamic interface between the ocean and the land, incorporating both the physical geography (i.e. coastal geomorphology, geology, and oceanography) and the human geography of the coast.

  9. Haldane's sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane's_sieve

    Haldane's sieve is particularly relevant in situations where the effects of natural selection are strong and the beneficial mutations have a significant impact on an organism's fitness. According to Haldane's sieve, when a new advantageous mutation arises in a population, it initially occurs as a single copy (a de novo mutation ), borne by an ...
