Inflammatory colitis related to increased intraluminal pressure from impacted faecal material in the colon.
Unlike the end-Cretaceous event, there is no consistent evidence in rocks at the Permian-Triassic boundary to support an asteroid impact hypothesis, such as an anomalous presence of iridium and associated shocked quartz (quartz grains that have experienced high temperatures and pressures from impact shock).
Analysts have expressed concern that BAE could suffer from cutbacks in defence spending as government budgets come under pressure from the impact of the credit crunch and, in the case of Saudi Arabia, the fall in the oil price.
The government said run-off from farms, crown-of-thorns starfish and climate change remain the biggest threats to the reef, but acknowledged that shipping and dredging occur in reef areas already facing pressure from other impacts.
For ballerinas, the tiniest shift in balance on a landing can divert the pressure of impact from the toes — encased in the protective box of the pointe shoe — up through the ankle, knee, hip and back, increasing the risk of more serious injuries.
Stishovite is reported only in a few localities that were subjected to very high pressures from meteorite impact events.
Scientists are human and have biases about how results should be interpreted, and face pressure from the current "impact" agenda to show how research is of immediate public importance.
The objective of this research was to analyze the possibilities of reducing the nozzle operating pressure of impact sprinklers from 300 kPa (standard pressure) to 200 kPa (low pressure) in solid-set irrigation systems without reducing the sprinkler spacing and maintaining crop yield.
The impact pressure from waves is an important issue to be considered in the design of coastal structures.
Don't blow too forcefully since the pressure from blowing hard can impact your ears, giving you an earache on top of your cold.
The process of deformation may result from hydrostatic pressure, shock impact (as produced by a meteorite striking the Earth's surface), or directed tectonic stress.
