A Johns Hopkins study reveals slight arm-position changes during blood pressure tests can falsely elevate readings.

Hydrostatic pressure on foundations and retaining walls When sub-soil water is not drained effectively, hydrostatic pressure builds against subsurface structures.

Learn how trees use massive amounts of water through the process of transpiration for the benefit of themselves and the Earth.

A reduction in renal perfusion normally results in dilatation of the glomerular afferent arteriole and constriction of the glomerular efferent arteriole so that glomerular capillary hydrostatic ...

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the dielectric characteristics of polyethylene/aluminum oxide nanocomposites is reported in the present work. Nanocomposite specimens with a thickness of 0.2 mm ...

We propose an optical fiber hydrostatic pressure sensor based on micro-cavities generated by the fiber fuse effect. The presented sensor is manufactured through the recycling of optical fiber ...

Our results show that hydrostatic pressure modulates the expression of energy metabolism genes and that SurR is essential for activating the hydrogenogenic gene cluster, even in sulfur-rich ...

One of the most intriguing properties of hybrid halide perovskites is their structural softness. The interplay between organic and inorganic sublattices leads to a multitude of physical phenomena that ...

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment on the physicochemical and rheological properties of starches with different structural organizations (granular or retrograded) was evaluated.
