5 In younger people, the predominant blood pressure abnormality is a high diastolic blood pressure.
During diastole, diastolic flow becomes decreased/blunted (Fig. 3b), as raised ICP becomes the predominant external pressure opposing forward MCA flow during diastole.
The apparently widespread responses of earthworms to moles, and the ability of predators to exploit these responses, depend on the predominant selective pressure exerted by foraging moles.
Generally, we can state that tendency toward a faster polymerase indicates that the predominant evolutionary pressure is on reproduction rate, while a tendency toward slower polymerases indicates an increased importance of reducing the mutation rate.
Inappropriate use of antibiotic is the predominant selection pressure for antibiotic resistance and aids horizontal transfer of bacterial resistance [ 2].
The predominant selective pressure acting on the JEV genome was purifying (i.e., negative selection), reflected in a dN/dS value of less than one.
Since their effective sample size is only one, this makes it difficult to extrapolate the predominant selection pressures that may have promoted the general association of selfing with the annual life cycle.
Water greatly enhances the flooding vapor velocity of the rectification, in addition, water plays a predominant role in pressure drop of the packed bed near flooding point.
A high percentage of Khmer outbreak V. cholerae strains showed resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; the strains that acquired the dfrA1 gene cassette likely became predominant through selective pressure (16, 24 ).
