Abstract: I. Discovery of the Right Respiratory Science. Owing to the discovery of “Haldane effect”, we comprise this Invention. This effect says, “The deoxygenation of the blood increases its ability to carry CO 2 .”. So that we understand why most people are by exercise to promote health, it is with big muscles-contraction to have the “Deoxygenation of the Blood” as in exercise by walking, jogging or running to consume O 2 5-15 times more than sitting in quiet, but few people know why and how is the right way. Especially as we see, a lot of professional athletes usually early died of heart diseases, because there is not the right respiratory science and process until today. II. The Right Respiratory Science and Process. We cite the right respiratory theories from the right related science as: “Haldane effect”, “Gas Diffusion Law” and the “Relations between Respiration and Autonomic Nervous Functions”. In addition to promote health, life and welfare for common people, it is to prevent from and control of many traditional functional diseases standing as rheumatism, cold and heart diseases, etc. The invented respiratory process is that, exhaling be long and slow; Inhaling be short and shallow once no longer than 1 second, by elasticity of breathing organs after exhaling; in case for more O 2 required as in sport, it just speeds the breathing rate and keeps other breathing technics the same.

Abstract: As an important branch of biomedical engineering, respiratory mechanics helps to understand the physiology of the respiratory system and provides fundamental data for developing such clinical technologies as ventilators. To solve different clinical problems, researchers have developed numerous models at various scales that describe biological and mechanical properties of the respiratory system. During the past decade, benefiting from the continuous accumulation of clinical data and the dramatic progress of biomedical technologies (e.g. biomedical imaging), the theoretical modeling of respiratory mechanics has made remarkable progress regarding the macroscopic properties of the respiratory process, complexities of the respiratory system, gas exchange within the lungs, and the coupling interaction between lung and heart. The present paper reviews the advances in the above fields and proposes potential future projects.

Abstract: The respiratory system has been relatively neglected in psychophysiological research, and respiratory parameters have, indeed, often been treated as nuisance variables. Recently, however, there seems to be a growing interest in respiratory processes among psychophysiologists who are involved in stress research (see Grossman, 1983).
