Studies in a murine model have shown that decompression stress triggers a progressive elevation in the number of circulating annexin V-coated microparticles derived from leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells. We noted that some particles appeared to be larger than anticipated, and size continued to increase for ≥24 h postdecompression. These observations led to the hypothes...

We present broadband transient absorption spectroscopy on the fluorescent copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole) under hydrostatic pressure of up to 75 kbar. We observe a strong reduction of the stimulated emission intensity under pressure, coupled with slower decay kinetics and reduced fluorescence intensity. These observations indicate increased delocalization of photogenerat...

The multipad circular guide hydrostatic bearing of heavy-duty CNC machine is taken as the research object. Based on the lubrication properties of the heavy hydrostatic bearing, viscosity-temperature equation of interstitial fluid is established in various viscosities. In accordance with factory actual production, the fluid critical from laminar to turbulent is calculated by finite volume method...

To clarify the role of the endolymphatic sac (ES) in the regulation of endolymphatic pressure, the effects of isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, and acetazolamide, a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, both of which decrease ES direct current potential on cochlear hydrostatic pressure, were examined in guinea pigs. When isoproterenol was applied intravenously, hydrostatic press...

Hydrostatic pressures in the renal vasculature of hagfish have been studied. Estimates of the blood colloid osmotic pressure (COP) have been made. In blood vessels supplying the renal corpuscles, the average hydrostatic pressure is about 1 kPa. The average hydrostatic pressure falls to a value of 0.04 kPa within the postcardinal vein efferent to the renal corpuscle. Within the glomerular capill...

Leg vascular resistance is calculated as the arterial-venous pressure gradient divided by blood flow. During orthostatic challenges it is assumed that the hydrostatic pressure contributes equally to leg arterial, as well as to leg venous pressure. Because of venous valves, one may question whether, during orthostatic challenges, a continuous hydrostatic column is formed and if leg venous pressu...

The influence of hydrostatic pressure on microbial sulfate reduction (SR) was studied using sediments obtained at cold seep sites from 5500 to 6200 m water depth of the Japan Trench. Sediment samples were stored under anoxic conditions for 17 months in slurries at 4°C and at in situ pressure (50 MPa), at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa), or under methanic conditions with a methane partial pressur...

Based on elastic considerations, a new four parameter model of the hydrostatic compression curves of sandy soils is presented. Using a unique set of parameters, this model is capable of accurately representing the infinite family of compression curves that result when soil is subjected to stresses below particle breakage. The parameters are readily estimated from two hydrostatic tests conducted...

A system has been developed for determining precisely the dilatational and shearwave group velocities in rock samples subjected to hydrostatic confining and internal pore pressures independently to 10,000 psi. Pulses of polarized shear waves of SO@kc/sec carrier frequency are produced and detected by axially polarized ceramic transducers attached to Pyrex glass prisms mounted in pressure-sealed...

Hydrostatic condition is a common assumption in tidal and subtidal motions in oceans and estuaries. Theories with this assumption have been largely successful. However, there is no definite criteria separating the hydrostatic from the non-hydrostatic regimes in real applications because real problems often times have multiple scales. With increased refinement of high resolution numerical models...
