    Basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) are actions that a fighter aircraft makes during air combat maneuvering, historically known as dogfighting.The development of BFM began with the first fighter aircraft, during World War I, then continued with each following war, adapting to the changing weapons and technologies.

  3. Decompression sickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness

    Decompression sickness can occur after an exposure to increased pressure while breathing a gas with a metabolically inert component, then decompressing too fast for it to be harmlessly eliminated through respiration, or by decompression by an upward excursion from a condition of saturation by the inert breathing gas components, or by a ...

  4. Rebreather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather

    Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user. This differs from open-circuit breathing apparatus, where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment. The purpose is to extend the breathing endurance of a limited gas supply, while also eliminating the bubbles otherwise produced by an open circuit system.

  5. Physiology of decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiology_of_decompression

    Bubbles may occur after exposures that have very good safety records. The utility of bubble detection is in assessing relative decompression stress, [93] and can be used in non-symptomatic divers as a safer threshold for assessing acceptable decompression stress than the incidence of clinical symptoms for evaluating decompression algorithms. [93]

  6. List of fictional diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_diseases

    Hanahaki disease (花吐き病 (Japanese); 하나하키병 (Korean); 花吐病 (Chinese)) is a fictional disease where the victim of unrequited or one-sided love begins to vomit or cough up the petals and flowers of a flowering plant growing in their lungs, which will eventually grow large enough to render breathing impossible if left untreated.

  7. Respiratory gas humidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_gas_humidification

    Although the humidifying capacity of a bubble respiratory gas humidifier is rather low, it may be improved by increasing the water temperature. A bubble bottle is mostly used in oxygen therapy with high flow rates via a mask, nasopharyngeal catheter, or nasal cannula in order to prevent drying of the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth.

  8. Bubble CPAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_CPAP

    Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation strategy for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration.

  9. White Plume Mountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Plume_Mountain

    White Plume Mountain is set in the World of Greyhawk, a campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons. [5] The module is a dungeon crawl, [1] precipitated by the theft of three magical, sentient weapons: [6] a trident named Wave, a war hammer named Whelm, and a sword named Blackrazor (all three were introduced in this adventure).
