Richard L. Pyle
Richard Lawrence Pyle, Ph.D. (born 24 March 1967) is a scuba diver and ichthyologist working on Hawaii. Pyle discovered the principle of "Pyle stops" when Decompression (diving), decompressing from many deep dives in search of new species of fish, and has identified hundreds of new species. He is the author of over 130 publications. In October 2015, he won second prize, an award of €5,000, in the GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge, a Global Biodiversity Information Facility competition, for BioGUID.org, "a web service that crosslinks identifiers linked to data objects in the biodiversity realm". At that time, the site contained over one billion (1,000,000,000) identifiers. He has been honoured by having the twilight fangblenny (''Petroscirtes pylei'') named in his honor. Pyle is a member of ZooBank Committee and the leader of ZooBank architecture policy working group. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pyle Stop
A Pyle stop is a type of short, optional deep decompression stop performed by scuba divers at depths well below the first decompression stop mandated by a conventional dissolved phase decompression algorithm, such as the US Navy or Bühlmann decompression algorithms. They were named after Richard Pyle, an American Ichthyology, ichthyologist from Hawaii, who found that they prevented his post-dive fatigue symptoms after deep dives to collect fish specimens. The ascent pattern has become known as Pyle stops, or "deep stops" since the late 1990s. These stops were developed by Pyle based on personal experience, and have had a significant influence on decompression theory and practice in the following years. Origins In the 1980s Pyle had been diving to explore depths between in search of fish to collect, a depth range often called the "Mesopelagic zone, twilight zone". He noticed that some dive patterns did not make him feel any post-dive Fatigue (medical), fatigue. Reviewing hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
