Several piezophilic bacteria have been isolated from deep-sea environments under high hydrostatic pressure. Taxonomic studies of the isolates showed that the piezophilic bacteria are not widely distributed in terms of taxonomic positions, and all were assigned to particular branches of the Proteobacteria gamma-subgroup. A pressure-regulated operon from piezophilic bacteria of the genus Shewanel...

It has been hypothesised that the impact duration of a blunt head impact significantly affects the peak intracranial pressures, and that for short impact durations these pressure peaks could reach sufficient magnitude to cause cavitation in the blood vessels of the brain. Two finite element models of pressure wave propagation in the brain have been developed to explore the pressure response to ...

The electromechanical analysis of a piezoresistive pressure microsensor with a square-shaped diaphragm for low-pressure biomedical applications is presented. This analysis is developed through a novel model and a finite element method (FEM) model. A microsensor with a diaphragm 1000 „m length and with thickness=400 µm is studied. The electric response of this microsensor is obtained with applyi...
