Use of Surface Marker Buoys - Survey

I am a final year Product Design student at the University of the West of England in Bristol, UK, I am currently working on a research project looking into safety equipment used by scuba divers.

My main focus at the moment is looking at Surface Marker Buoys (SMBs), dSMBs and Personal Locator Beacons.

I have put together a quick survey to gather info on how/if divers use these pieces of kit and was hoping that you all would be willing to take a look: https://uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6gJ5KG362vVMXKl

If you have any stories you would be willing to share about using SMBs & PLBs or times you wished you had either I would greatly appreciate that!”

Magnet Book Markers! These are made by recycled cardboard & washi paper. I coated the surface with topcoat to make them durable. You can use these as paper clips as well! (Caution: they can hold max 3 papers based on my experiment) reddit.com/gallery/o0saun

Hard markers on rough surfaces

Does anyone know how the hard wax markers work on rough surfaces like concrete and brick, there's a lot of rougher surfaces around and they just tear up my mood.

Marker writing above the surface of tablet - help!

My marker writes above the surface. I've tried all of the trouble shooting I could find. It will work correctly when I pull the nib out of the marker a little bit. Unfortunately it gets pushed back into the marker very quickly while writing. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?

I tried multiple nibs, blew into the marker, and I've reset it.

TIL that modern military submarines have a rescue buoy that releases during an emergency, and it remains attached to the submarine by a cable. Once on the surface it can indicate to rescuers the position of the submarine, and may include a telephone for communication with the trapped submariners. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res…

It's not as good as the previous ones, but day 5: A stroopwafel to honour Dutch freedom day on May 5th. I feel like markers would have made this one better, but I don't have any. I also see now that flat surfaces are boring to look at, because there's no shading. Please give me more feedback :D

There is this trick I found by using the greengill lucker and the christmas buoy to spawn infinite surface fish! What you do is you wait for a school to be as long as possible then you spam it with the buoy. This spawns a bunch of surface fish which then again spawn even more! Hope this made sense!

Are rope-less water marker buoys a real thing?

I know I've seen those buoys that kinda look like a barbell and have a weight tied to rope and you drop it and let the weight hit the bottom and you have depth and a target to aim for when casting.

But I could have sworn I saw one that like spun itself around in the water and stayed within a few feet of the area you dropped it in but had no rope holding it in place.

Am I buggin or is that real? If so does anyone have a link? Because I can't seem to find them online (probably because they're not real lol).

Thanks.

all the cytokines and cell surface markers

I have a hard time keeping these number guys straight so I put them in numerical order (CD1, CD2, CD3, IL-1, IL-2, IFN gamma etc). I listed all the ones that showed up in either first aid or a uworld question (so far... I'm only 30% done with the qbank). I figured I would share in case it helps anyone else. example below that probably got compressed af so here's the link to the pdf. please comment if you have any better mnemonics and I'll add them!!!!!

idk if anyone else's brain works this way but I hope this helps someone. If this isn't allowed lmk but I'm not trying to sell anything.

LPT: Got permanent marker mark on a white board, counter top, or any other hard surface where it is tough or near impossible to remove the mark? Scribble over the permanent marker mark with a dry erase marker and scrub it off with a Magic eraser. The permanent marker mark should now be lifted.
