A fit person working hard may ventilate at a rate of 100 l / min but will only metabolise a maximum of 6l / min of oxygen ( Sleeping requires ½ to 1 l / min ).

It only works when partial pressure of oxygen in the diluent alone would not cause hypoxia or hyperoxia, such as when using a normoxic diluent and observing the diluent's maximum operating depth.

Military and recreational divers use these because they provide better underwater duration than open circuit, have a deeper maximum operating depth than oxygen rebreathers and are fairly simple and cheap.

As some gas is recycled after breathing, the oxygen fraction will always be lower than that of the make-up gas, but can closely approximate the make-up gas after a loop flush, so the gas is generally chosen to be breathable at maximum depth, which allows it to be used for open circuit bailout.

Aerobic capacity is defined as the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during a specified period, usually during intense exercise.

There is a wide array of power-ups, such as a backpack that increases the player character's ammunition-carrying capacity, armor, first aid kits to restore health, the berserk pack ( a dark first aid box that puts the character into berserk mode, allowing him to deal out rocket launcher-level damage with his fists and potentially splattering former humans and imps, as well as setting the user's health to 100 % if it were lower ), supernatural blue orbs ( named soul spheres in the manuals ) that boost the player character's health up to a maximum of 200 %, nightvision, computer maps ( which show every area of the level ), partial invisibility, and protective suits that allow the player to survive in toxic acids.

In telecommunications, standing wave ratio ( SWR ) is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode ( maximum ) to the amplitude at an adjacent node ( minimum ), in an electrical transmission line.

Due to the limited supply of water the fountain usually runs on partial power and only reaches half its full height, but occasionally it is switched to maximum flow.

However, patients with a partial but incomplete response to sertraline at 200 mg did see a clinically significant reduction in symptoms, when the dose was titrated up to a maximum of 400 mg.

The maximum quantity is limited by the requirement of the mixture to sustain a contiguous flame front during the combustion event ; excessive EGR in poorly set up applications can cause misfires and partial burns.

If is a maximum of for the original constrained problem, then there exists such that is a stationary point for the Lagrange function ( stationary points are those points where the partial derivatives of are zero, i. e. ).

The first partial derivatives as to z ( the variable to be maximized ) are zero at the maximum ( the glowing dot on top in the figure ).

The second partial derivative test can help classify the point as a relative maximum or relative minimum.

Similarly, we can define the height of a partial order to be the maximum cardinality of a chain.

In mathematics, the Gibbs phenomenon, named after the American physicist J. Willard Gibbs, is the peculiar manner in which the Fourier series of a piecewise continuously differentiable periodic function behaves at a jump discontinuity: the nth partial sum of the Fourier series has large oscillations near the jump, which might increase the maximum of the partial sum above that of the function itself.

" Saturation " refers to the fact that the diver's tissues have absorbed the maximum partial pressure of gas possible for that depth due to the diver being exposed to breathing gas at that pressure for prolonged periods.

The German firm IG Farben, which was a partial owner of Norsk Hydro, had ordered / month ; Norsk Hydro ′ s maximum production rate was then limited to / month.

In technical diving and nitrox diving, the maximum operating depth ( MOD ) of a breathing gas is the depth below which the partial pressure of oxygen ( ppO < sub > 2 </ sub >) of the gas mix exceeds a safe limit.

: This article describes the maximum principle in the theory of partial differential equations.

In mathematics, the maximum principle is a property of solutions to certain partial differential equations, of the elliptic and parabolic types.

A partial y interchange is used where one highway terminates at another highway with the same general directional alignment ( usually a maximum of sixty degrees ).

With a maximum operating pressure of Torr and a minimum detectable partial pressure as low as Torr when used in tandem with an electron multiplier.

Therefore, the change in enthalpy can be devised or represented without the need for compressive or expansive mechanics ; for a simple system, with a constant number of particles, the difference in enthalpy is the maximum amount of thermal energy derivable from a thermodynamic process in which the pressure is held constant.

AA # 9, however, will fill the case much better, and the slow burn rate of AA # 9 is ideal for magnum handgun rounds, producing 20 % higher velocities ( at maximum levels ) while still producing less pressure than the fast burning AA # 2.

SAAMI specifications call for maximum average pressure of 46000 PSI, sufficient for with a 160 grain bullet.

Since the flow speed is zero at these points, by Bernoulli's principle the static pressure at these points is at a maximum.

In 1901, at the 3rd CGPM conference, the litre was redefined as the space occupied by 1 kg of pure water at the temperature of its maximum density ( 3. 98 ° C ) under a pressure of 1 atm.

One of his other findings resulted from measurements of the dependence of the intensity of the electric photo current on the gas pressure, where he found the existence of an optimal gas pressure P < sub > m </ sub > corresponding to a maximum photocurrent ; this property was used for a creation of solar cells.

The height of the column was then limited to the maximum weight that atmospheric pressure could support ; this is the limiting height of a suction pump, and the same as the maximum height of a siphon, which operates by the same principle.

Valves are typically rated for maximum temperature and pressure by the manufacturer.

When a designer, engineer, or user decides to use a valve for an application, he / she should ensure the rated maximum temperature and pressure are never exceeded and that the wetted materials are compatible with the fluid the valve interior is exposed to.
