| Abstract |
One of the primary problems that hinders humans in their efforts to explore and develop the ocean realms is the lack of a ready supply of oxygen. Practical methods have not yet been devised for using the vast amount of oxygen dissolved in ocean waters for human life support in an undersea environment. Fish and other water-breathing animals have solved this problem by utilizing hemoglobin as a molecular oxygen pump. To achieve a similar oxygen extraction capability, we have explored various methods of oxygen extraction that are based on immobilized forms of hemoglobin. Improved methods for immobilizing hemoglobin or other oxygen carrying molecules and a method for extracting the available dissolved oxygen from natural waters and other fluids are described. The techniques that have been developed allow for immobilization of oxygen carriers at high concentration in a state where they are capable of reversible oxygen binding, and also allow for regeneration of the carrier in the event of oxidation of the oxygen-binding site. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 May 1989.
All research outputs
#7,474,859
of 22,851,489 outputs
Outputs from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#541
of 2,508 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,553
of 35,612 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#9
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,851,489 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,508 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 35,612 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
