But it was hard to shake the question of whether his lifestyle undermined his authority, exposing him to Fleet Street's crude slapstick, and to other more corrosive pressures.
Almost all of them are concerned to one degree or another with the corrosive pressures the American Way puts on family life.
As a result, technologies for accelerated testing have been developed, to design high level stress tests (e.g. temperature, voltage, pressure, corrosive media, load, vibration, etc).
This can be exploited further by utilising the non-destructive nature of X-ray tomography to study 3D chemical processes occurring inside materials and structures which are functioning under real-world conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure, corrosive environments etc.).
Well cement is one of the vulnerable leakage pathways in high pressure and corrosive environments.
The material selection and design for oil and gas wells containing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide is very difficult due to the uncertainties such as the changeable production capacity, partial pressure of corrosive medium (like CO2 and H2S).
Aggressive service conditions prevailing in chemical process plants, such as elevated temperature and pressure and corrosive environments, stretch the safety operating limits of engineering materials and components at challenging levels of endurance and reliability.
Recently, butanol has been considered as a potential advanced biofuel with several advantages over ethanol because it contains higher energy density, lower vapor pressure, less corrosive and less water solubility (Connor and Liao 2009).
A new term for Xi may either make him grittier toward Taiwan, meaning China would ramp up corrosive economic and diplomatic pressure on the Taipei government -- yet still softly enough to leave a door open in case the two sides find a way to talk.
