Can a Pressure Standard be Based on Capacitance Measurements?
We consider the feasibility of basing a pressure standard on measurements of the dielectric constant ϵ and the thermodynamic temperature T of helium near 0 °C. The pressure p of the helium would be calculated from fundamental constants, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. At present, the relative standard uncertainty of the pressure ur(p) would exceed 20 × 10-6, the relative uncertain...
متن کاملEsophageal and gastric pressure measurements.
The measurement of esophageal and gastric pressures with balloon-tipped catheters has been used with great success over the past half century to delineate the physiology of the mechanical respiratory system. Pleural pressure and abdominal pressure values estimated from esophageal and gastric pressure measurements allow analysis of lung and chest wall compliance, as well as work of breathing, re...
متن کاملCan optimized effective potentials be determined uniquely?
Local ~multiplicative! effective exchange potentials obtained from the linear-combinationof-atomic-orbital ~LCAO! optimized effective potential ~OEP! method are frequently unrealistic in that they tend to exhibit wrong asymptotic behavior ~although formally they should have the correct asymptotic behavior! and also assume unphysical rapid oscillations around the nuclei. We give an algebraic pro...
متن کاملMarine microbial diversity: can it be determined?
Estimates of the order of magnitude for the total number of microbial species on Earth range from 10(3) to 10(9). Despite global dispersal of microorganisms, this number is probably rather large. The total biodiversity of an ecosystem is composed of two elements: first, a set of abundant taxa that carry out most ecosystem functions, grow actively and suffer intense losses through predation and ...
متن کامل6 Intracranial Pressure and Elastance
Head injury is a common form of trauma. For example, in the UK head injury occurs in more than 500 000 persons per annum of which about 10% are diagnosed as severe, 15% moderate and the remainder as minor head injury (Miller et al., 1992; Pickard and Czosnyka, 1993). Head trauma is a significant cause of death and disability, especially in young males (median age < 30) and is associated with ra...
