Tomeet the Dead Space system requirements, you'll need a gaming PC armed with a quad-core processor that's at least as powerful as the Intel Core i5 6500 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, paired with 16GB of RAM. On the GPU side of things, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 should provide plenty of pixel pushing power to get you on board the USG Ishimura. Just don't forget to clear a modest 50GB of space from your SSD too, as hard drives simply don't make the cut here.
Moving up the Dead Space recommended specs, a more powerful CPU akin to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5 11600K will be needed to survive any unwanted performance hiccups. The same goes for graphics cards, with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 creating the new floor for performance. Additionally, developer Motive explicitly recommends using a PCIe NVMe SSD.

The Dead Space remake rebuilds the game from the ground up, offering improved visual fidelity thanks to the switch from the RenderWare engine to the newer Frostbite engine. Limb dismemberment of the Necromorphs, a major element in the previous games, has also been overhauled to appear more realistic.
The Dead Space remake's Steam page has now been updated with the minimum and recommended PC specs. It's good news if you're happy to stick with the former: minimum specs ask for only an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i5 8600 CPU combined with an RX 5700 or GTX 1070 graphics card. It also requires a pretty hefty but increasingly standard 50GB of storage space and 16GB of RAM rather than the 8GB we often see listed as a minimum requirement.
As expected, the recommended specs up the hardware quite a bit. CPU-wise, you need at least a Ryzen 5 5600X or a Core i5 11600K. As for the graphics cards, Dead Space asks for at least a Radeon RX 6700 XT or an RTX 2070. Memory and storage requirements remain the same.
In my last piece, we took a look at Van Vorst Park in Jersey City, NJ and talked about why it works so well as a park. Today we will look at some "green space" that does not provide nearly as much value or function nearly as well.
Unlike the greenspace around a strip mall, the developers gave this a name in an attempt to make it a place that people use. They called it a lawn." Unfortunately, in my two years of living a block from Maxwell Place Lawn and frequently walking past it to get to the waterfront, only once have I seen anyone spending time in it. The lawn otherwise sits un-utilized.
Unlike Van Vorst Park, which is divided into separate areas with fountains, a playground, a grilling area, a gazebo, a children's garden, and dozens, if not more, varieties of plants - which all come together to hold your curiosity and encourage you to explore, people watch, or read a good book, Maxwell Place Lawn is just a flat open area of lawn.
The quality of public parks in my town is really good, and I suspect that's the case in many other towns and cities. But this is a fully built-up urban area where our land is our most valuable resource, so it frustrates me when I see wasted dead space. I would much rather have the developer put this land to productive use by developing on it or selling it off to someone who can, instead of placating the public with a useless chunk of grass.

Objective: Volutrauma caused by high tidal volumes contributes considerably to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Yet high tidal volumes are required to overcome dead space. In an experimental arrangement we tested whether reduction of dead space might reduce ventilation requirements and thus reduce volutrauma in preterm infants.
Materials and methods: The time required to eliminate CO2 by standardized mechanical ventilation from a preterm infant's test lung flooded with CO2 was measured. Four different Y-pieces and flow sensor combinations were tested with and without a device for closed suction: Y-piece without flow sensor; integrated flow sensor; small dead-space flow sensor; and a new dead-space free-flow sensor for preterm infants. CO2 concentrations were measured by a capnograph. Mean CO2 elimination times (+/-SD) were compared.
Conclusion: CO2 elimination time with and without closed suction device was nearly identical for the Y-piece without flow sensor and for the dead-space free-flow sensor. With both systems, ventilation requirements were significantly lower than for the integrated flow sensor and for the small dead-space flow sensor (integrated flow sensor vs dead-space free-flow sensor 23.6 and 24.5%, respectively, small dead-space flow sensor vs dead-space free flow sensor 11.7 and 10.9%, respectively); thus, we think that introduction of the innovative dead-space free-flow sensor into clinical practice might reduce incidence and severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia by reduction of volutrauma.
This chapter is most relevant to the third and last part of Section F6(iv) from the 2023 CICM Primary Syllabus, which expects the exam candidates to be able to "describe the physiological impact of increased dead space". This is a highly examinable topic which has come up twice in the past papers:
Consider: let's say you have a patient who is breathing comfortably with tidal volumes of 500ml, of which there is 150ml of total dead space which is all anatomical. Let's say you have now increased your dead space by introducing an extra 1000ml of apparatus dead space into the respiratory circuit.
Now, your alveolar ventilation remains the same, around 350ml, but now the tidal volume, moving 500ml of gas in and out of the respiratory circuit, is composed just of rebreathed gas. No added oxygen is inhaled, unless it has mixed by diffusion with the contents of the apparatus. No CO2 removal occurs, unless it is also by diffusion. The consequence of this is that the patient will now need to increase their tidal volume by at least the same volume as the apparatus dead space in order to get back to something resembling normal gas exchange.
This effect was demonstrated by Kelman et al (1973). The investigators we are to secure the cooperation of several young fit physiology students. Each student was then attached to an apparatus dead space, "a partitioned Perspex box of total internal volume 1,200 ml". Their minute volume was found to increase signficantly, mainly due to an increase in the tidal volume. For some reason, it seemed important for the investigators to choose students who had not yet studied any respiratory physiologyand were therefore completely ignorant of the purpose of the experiment. The concern was that though junior, "they were however not unintelligent; and it is, of course, possible that they were consciously evolving a strategy to deal with the respiratory hindrance of the increased dead-space".
One might complain that the example offered above has minimal relevance to the ICU environment, as our patients rarely have massive perspex boxes hanging off their endotracheal tubes. A more relevant example of the same situation is ARDS, where the dead space may be small but the tidal volume is decreased. In these scenarios, a small volume of apparatus dead space can make all the difference. Hinkson et al (2006) found that removing a HME and 15cm of flexible tubing from the circuit of an ARDS patient can decrease the PaCO2 by about 11 mmHg, all though the magic of decreasing dead space.
Increasing the alveolar dead space with a normal anatomical/apparatus component will increase your minute volume requirements proportionally to the change in the rato of dead space to alveolar ventilation. Consider: if the increasing alveolar dead space has halved your alveolar ventilation, you need to double your minute volume to restore your alveolar ventilation back to the original levels. If your dead space has increased to 80% of the tidal volume, you need to increase your minute volume by five times. This is seen in extremely large pulmonary emboli.
Pilots can only enter abyssal deadspace by using special filaments, and even then only limited pockets are accessible for a limited time. The pockets are filled with dangerous localized space effects and any ship that ventures away from the stable pocket or stays in for too long will be destroyed by these effects.
Running Abyssals can be fun and profitable, but it is very important that pilots grasp the core mechanics involved, as--unlike most PvE combat in EVE--failure means the certain loss of both ship and pod.
Pilots can enter Abyssal deadspace using Abyssal filaments obtained from data sites, from abyssal deadspace itself, or purchased from the in-game market. Seven tiers of increasing difficulty exist, numbered from 0 to 6. Entry into the Abyss is limited to either:
To enter the Abyss, activate the filament(s) while in space. When activated, a beacon (named Abyssal trace) is created at your entry location. If a frigate or destroyer Abyssal trace is opened, only a fleet can activate it. The Abyssal trace can be scanned down using combat probes, which means that sufficiently motivated players might be able to find it and await your return from the pocket.
