Additional simulations at higher pressures further explore the mechanistic changes at the pressures of relevance to applied combustion devices (e.g., 100 atm).
The mechanistic explanation for the pressure-diuresis and pressure-natriuresis phenomena that emerges is illustrated in Figure 6.
The proposed approach uses corrosion growth models to estimate the remaining life of the pipeline based on mechanistic models (e.g., pressure failure criteria).
For example, slug frequency is not only a required input for mechanistic models to predict pressure gradient and liquid holdup, but also is related to pipeline erosion/corrosion rates, pipeline structural integrity and stability and downstream separation and process facilities sizing.
11 Contradictory theories have been proposed regarding the mechanistic pathway of blood pressure (BP) regulation on exposure to high altitudes.
What connection might a functional gene variant associated with mechanistic regulation of blood pressure via aldosterone synthesis also have in determining breast cancer risk?
Providing a mechanistic link to blood pressure, endothelin-1, which modulates systemic vascular tone, is known to increase in response to reactive oxygen species (Haynes and Webb 1998) and urban PM (Bouthillier et al. 1998).
Analysis of data on renal blood flow, filtration, pressure-diuresis and pressure-natriuresis phenomena in Dahl S and Dahl R rats using a simple mathematical model reveals a hypothetical mechanistic explanation for the observed pressure-diuresis and pressure-natriuresis relationships.
The nature of the mechanistic link between high intraocular pressure and loss of retinal ganglion cells is still not fully understood and although raised IOP is clearly an important risk factor, patients with ocular hypertension do not invariably progress to clinical glaucoma and RGC degeneration, even over long-term periods [2], [4], [47] [49].
The association we have demonstrated between lead exposure and pulse pressure may provide mechanistic insight into the association of lead exposure with cardiovascular death (Menke et al. 2006).
