Hydrostatic pressure refers to the force exerted by a fluid, like water, on an object submerged within it. It is caused by the weight of the fluid pressing down equally in all directions.
Full definition
«Molecular determinant of the effects
of hydrostatic pressure on protein folding stability» was published in the February edition of Nature Communications.
These data suggest that
increasing hydrostatic pressure by standing in cold water does not provide an additional recovery benefit over seated cold water immersion, and that both seated and standing immersions have no benefit in promoting recovery following intermittent sprint exercise.
If they sever a resin canal of a healthy, hydrated tree, there is an immediate and forceful flow of resin solution
under hydrostatic pressure that often kills the beetle.
Given the lithostatic and
hydrostatic pressures for 1 — 2 km of overlying geological strata, and our results that appear to rule out the rapid movement of deep brines to near the surface, we believe that this mechanism is unlikely.
Eating just enough salt and minerals as well as drinking at least eight glasses of water every day will go a long way to keep the osmotic and
hydrostatic pressure at an adequate level.
Contribution of TRPV1 to microglia - derived IL - 6 and NFkappaB translocation with elevated
hydrostatic pressure Sappington, R.M. & Calkins, D.J. (2008) Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 49:3004 - 17.
Photograph 4: Precast Trim — It is absolutely critical to drain the back surfaces of these trim elements to prevent perched water and
resulting hydrostatic pressure.
«Growth under pressure: New metamaterial designed with counterintuitive property: A newly designed metamaterial that expands with
increasing hydrostatic pressure may advance what 3 - D printers are capable of producing beyond what occurs in nature.»
Deep - sea organisms including mussels thrive in the extreme environments of hydrothermal vents and cold seeps which are characterised by
high hydrostatic pressure, lack of photosynthesis - derived food, variable temperatures and high concentrations of toxic substances.
TRPV1: Contribution to Retinal Ganglion Cell Apoptosis and Increased Intracellular Ca2 + with Exposure to
Hydrostatic Pressure Sappington, R.M., Sidorova, T., Long, D.J. & Calkins, D.J. (2009) Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 50:717 - 28.
This process uses water under very high
hydrostatic pressure that destroys harmful food bacteria while maintaining fresh food characteristics, such as flavor, nutrients, and nutritional value.
To increase quality, Goose Point Oyster expanded its facilities from 400 square feet to 15,000 square feet, and in 2001 added a high
hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processor, the first company on the West Coast to do so.
As the compression garments apply pressure on the legs, they alter
the hydrostatic pressure in the veins.
If
the hydrostatic pressure rises in the veins, there will be more edema.
If the compression stocking is too strong,
the hydrostatic pressure increases, and water leaves the veins.
Thereby the pivotal muscles push above the hip ballinto the socket, thereby creating
a hydrostatic pressure, which inturn supports the hardening of the bone.»
Dr. Palasyuk is conducting research on materials subjected to
hydrostatic pressures of one to several million atmospheres (the prefix hydro - means that the pressure acts on the material from all sides).
«Usually the increase in dimensions observed in materials with negative compressibility subjected to high
hydrostatic pressure is small.
'' [O] ur poroelastic three - dimensional metamaterial, a human - made composite material that exhibits properties not found in natural materials, effectively expands upon increasing
the hydrostatic pressure of a surrounding gas or liquid,» said Jingyuan Qu, a doctoral student and researcher at KIT's Institute of Applied Physics and Institute of Nanotechnology.
As they now report in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing, by using a single cartridge it's possible to print a metamaterial which expands in size under
hydrostatic pressure, even though it's made up of material which normally shrinks under hydrostatic pressure.
The hydrostatic pressure beneath the indenter tip keeps the sample confined when you press the tip into the sample's surface, allowing the sample to deform plastically without fracture, even at room temperature.»
Due to the high
hydrostatic pressure, each liter of deep water contains about 2.5 liters of CO2 gas.
Hydrostatic pressure and the actomyosin cortex drive mitotic cell rounding.
Increased surface meltwater also leads to snow saturation, filling crevasses with water and increasing
hydrostatic pressures.
This one was interesting because it brings up something I've also heard, that
the hydrostatic pressure may be a benefit of water immersion, sort of like compression, but this study suggested immersion was not helpful either way!
When odontoblasts stop pumping fluid,
the hydrostatic pressure in the tooth / pulp is lowered and the normal fluid movement tends to reverse.
Hydrotherapy is a form of therapy utilizing water to provide buoyancy, stability, and
hydrostatic pressure.
Aquatic Therapy in an Underwater Treadmill: Buoyancy,
hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, resistance and surface tension are physical properties of water that can produce specific therapeutic benefits.
Because of the buoyancy water offers to the participant, along with resistance, and
hydrostatic pressure, this enables the patient to move injured or healing joints, muscles and tendons more freely and with less pain.
This has been attributed to high - velocity jets of CSF caused by obstruction of the foramen magnum by the herniated portion of the cerebellum and overcrowded brain parenchyma in the caudal occipital region [5] which is hypothesised to set up
a hydrostatic pressure differential between the spinal cord and subarachnoid space and results in the accumulation of perivascular fluid which eventually forms a syrinx [9].
