ACE inhibitors have been shown to be effective for indications other than hypertension even in patients with normal blood pressure.

Additionally, the cylinder pressure developed when an engine is running will be higher than that shown in a compression test for several reasons.

In other words, the pressure on either end of the liquid ( shown in blue in the figure to the right ) must be balanced ( since the liquid is static ) and so.

CMF units were sometimes scorned by AIF soldiers as " chocolate soldiers " or " chockos ", because " they would melt under the pressure " of military operations ; or in an alternative version of the story of the origin of this term, as a result of the 1930s ' uniforms of Militia soldiers, these soldiers were considered by AIF volunteers and some civilians as soldiers only for show like the soldiers in garish 19th century dress uniforms shown on tins of chocolates that were commonly sold in Australia in the 1930s, hence the name " chocolate-tin soldiers " for Militia members.

For water, however, this is not true because the melting point of ordinary ice decreases as a function of pressure, as shown by the dotted green line in the phase diagram.

The level of boost may be shown on a pressure gauge, usually in bar, psi or possibly kPa.

* The wearing of graduated compression stockings with variable pressure gradients ( Class II or III ) has been shown to correct the swelling, nutritional exchange, and improve the microcirculation in legs affected by varicose veins.

The low pressure region over the wing of this A340 is clearly shown by the condensation it causes in the humid air

It may be shown by electromagnetic theory, by quantum theory, or by thermodynamics, making no assumptions as to the nature of the radiation, that the pressure against a surface exposed in a space traversed by radiation uniformly in all directions is equal to one third of the total radiant energy per unit volume within that space.

; Ratchet stop: ( not shown in illustration ) Device on end of handle that limits applied pressure by slipping at a calibrated torque.

Figure 2: Temperature – Entropy diagram That results in a mixture of liquid and vapor at a lower temperature and pressure as shown at point 5.

In the direct reading hydrostatic manometer design on the left, unknown pressure pushes the liquid down the left side of the manometer U-tube ( or unknown vacuum pulls the liquid up the tube, as shown ) where a length scale next to the tube measures the pressure, referenced to the other, open end of the manometer on the right side of the U-tube.

In a Bourdon tube shown in the two views on the right, applied pressure entering from the bottom on the silver barbed pipe tries to straighten a curved tube ( or vacuum tries to curl the tube to a greater extent ), moving the free end of the tube that is mechanically connected to the pointer.

The Bohr radius | size of helium atoms relative to their spacing is shown to scale under 1950 Atmosphere ( unit ) | atmospheres of pressure.

It has shown that Castanea sativa responds well to competitive pressure from Pseudotsuga menziesii, the latter also showing a higher productivity.

It is not surprising given this understanding of the forces involved that studies have shown that K < sub > a </ sub > varies strongly with osmotic pressure but only weakly with tail length and unsaturation.

Among these are: the amelioration of nausea and vomiting, stimulation of hunger in chemotherapy and AIDS patients, lowered intraocular eye pressure ( shown to be effective for treating glaucoma ), as well as gastrointestinal illness.

However, the super-critical methanol production methodology, whereby the transesterification process of oil feedstock and methanol is effectuated under high temperature and pressure, has been shown to be largely unaffected by the presence of water contamination during the production phase.

It has been shown that amine-catalyzed alcoholysis of sterically hindered esters ( e. g. protecting groups, chiral auxiliaries ) proceeds rapidly at room temperature under 10 kbar pressure, giving quantitative yields.

On the isotherm shown in the above plot, points a and c are the only pair of points which fulfill the equilibrium condition of having equal pressure, temperature and chemical potential.

By using some vector calculus identities, these equations can be shown to result in Laplace's equations for the pressure and each of the components of the vorticity vector:

Curt's fingers put a little more pressure on the trigger of his gun.

With Rod on his way and Matilda visiting with Mrs. Jackson while they searched out familiar names on the face of the cliff, Harmony settled on the edge of the grub box, to ease the pressure of her swollen body on her bone-weary legs, and worried about all that might have happened to Sally.

He was unable to send any more help to his allies on the Continent, and during the next few years many of them, left to resist French pressure unaided, surrendered to the inevitable and made their peace with Philip.

They are putting strong pressure on their police departments to keep order.

`` U.S. pressure on Britain to foster war hysteria over the status of West Berlin has reached its apogee.

This is a common symptom and the cause usually is pressure on the nerve leading to the affected hand.

A truth-revealing crisis erupted in Katanga for a couple of days this month, to be quickly smothered by the high pressure verbal fog that is kept on tap for such emergencies.

Precise pressure-volume-temperature measurements on corrosive gases are dependent on a sensitive yet rugged pressure transducer.

The results of the study, based on collision integrals computed from the latest critically evaluated data on intermolecular forces in air, will be reported in the form of a table of viscosity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion, and diffusion coefficients at temperatures of 1,000 to 10,000 Af and of logarithm of pressure in atmospheres from Af to Af times normal density.

As in many other industries, rising costs and intense competition, both domestic and foreign, have exerted increasing pressure on earnings of the textile industry in recent years.

With such a force of manned bombers we could bring enormous pressure to bear on an enemy, and this pressure would be selective and extremely discriminating.

Heart conditions and high blood pressure escape the stresses brought on by oppressive heat.

Figure 3 shows the data on a silicone fluid, labeled 12,500 cps which gave a high positive normal pressure.

The actual pressure was not determined because the pressure was beyond the upper limit of the apparatus on hand.

Just as the pressure exerted by surface tension in a spherical drop is Af and the pressure exerted by surface tension on a cylindrical shape is Af, the pressure exerted by any curved surface is Af, where **yg is the interfacial tension and Af and Af are the two radii of curvature.

The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on temperature only and is independent of pressure or volume.

James Lind's anemometer of 1775 consisted simply of a glass U tube containing a liquid manometer ( pressure gauge ), with one end bent in a horizontal direction to face the wind and the other vertical end remains parallel to the wind flow.

Measuring the compression pressure of an engine, with a pressure gauge connected to the spark plug opening, gives an indication of the engine's state and quality.

A vacuum gauge is used to measure the pressure in a vacuum — which is further divided into two subcategories, high and low vacuum ( and sometimes ultra-high vacuum ).

Hence, by combining several different types of gauge, it is possible to measure system pressure continuously from 10 mbar down to 10 < sup >− 11 </ sup > mbar.

* Absolute pressure is zero-referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it is equal to gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.

Tire pressure and blood pressure are gauge pressures by convention, while atmospheric pressures, deep vacuum pressures, and altimeter pressures must be absolute.

Moderate vacuum pressures are often ambiguous, as they may represent absolute pressure or gauge pressure without a negative sign.

Thus a vacuum of 26 inHg gauge is equivalent to an absolute pressure of 30 inHg ( typical atmospheric pressure ) − 26 inHg = 4 inHg.

If the absolute pressure of a fluid stays constant, the gauge pressure of the same fluid will vary as atmospheric pressure changes.

For example, when a car drives up a mountain ( atmospheric air pressure decreases ), the ( gauge ) tire pressure goes up.

There are two types of gauge reference pressure: vented gauge ( vg ) and sealed gauge ( sg ).
