Absolute atmospheres (or Atmospheres absolute, or ATA) - The ambient pressure including the air column over the water. The air column = 1 atm. at sea level. In sea water, another atmosphere is added each 33 FSW. There is an increase in pressure per foot of sea water equivalent to 1/33 or .03030303. So ATA may be calculated by multiplying the depth (FSW) by .0303030 and then adding 1 for the air above the water. i.e. the ATA at 46 FSW = (46 [asterisk] .0303030) + 1 = 2.3939 ATA. to convert ATA to FSW.ATA - 1 [asterisk] 33 = FSW. 5, record 5, English, - foot%20of%20sea%20water

Les problèmes de neurophysiologie sous hautes pressions ont été posés à l'origine par la plongée profonde aux mélanges synthétiques c'est-à-dire, la pratique du travail sous-marin en condition d'équipression avec le milieu (ex : 30 bars ou 3 MPa sous 300 mètres d'eau de mer). Il est apparu que la vie sous pression entraînait des perturbations du système nerveux qui surviennent pour des pressions relativement faibles : 3 à 4 bars avec l'air comprimé, c'est la narcose à l'azote; 10 à 15 bars avec le mélange hélium-oxygène, c'est le syndrome nerveux des hautes pressions (SNHP). 3, record 5, French, - pied%20d%27eau%20de%20mer

In Ontario, the "Watts from Waste" programme sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Environment was established to separate combustible from non-combustible waste items for incineration in an electricity or steam-producing facility. In Metropolitan Toronto, this process permitted hybrid coal/MSW fuelling in one of the coal-fired boilers at Lakeview Generating Station. Another example is the East Hamilton solid waste reduction unit(SWARU), a large scale heat producing facility which also has the potential for cogeneration. 1, record 8, English, - solid%20waste%20reduction%20unit
