Photosynthesis depends upon the absorption of light by pigments in the leaves of plants. The most important of these is chlorophyll-a, but there are several accessory pigments that also contribute.he measured rate of photosynthesis as a function of absorbed wavelength correlates well with the absorption frequencies of chlorophyll a, but makes it evident that there are some other contributors to the absorption.
I recently was catching up with your back podcast episodes and listened to The Man Behind the Maneuver, about Dr. Heimlich and his eponymous life-saving technique. I found it informative, insightful, humorous, and touching. The producer had a deft touch telling Dr. Heimlich's story, as well as his own.
Heimlich HJ. The Heimlich chest drainage valve was developed so that the process of draining the pleural cavity could be accomplished in a safe, relatively simple, and efficient manner. Replacing the cumbersome underwater drainage bottle system, the Heimlich valve connects to chest tubing and allows fluid and air to pass in one direction only. The valve, which functions in any position, need never be clamped, and regulated suction can be attached to it if necessary.
