Equations against hypothermia
Sharks are, by tradition, the eternal threat facing divers. Yet, a diver is quite a lot more unlikely to meet such a creature under the water than, at some time or another, to come up against an even greater danger - hypothermia, or exposure. To enable divers to prevent this syndrome from creeping silently up on them, two researchers from the Area... view more... (2004-09-01)
