OBJECTIVE To characterize the association between arterial blood pressure (ABP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients, and its impact on outcome of shunt surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed all 35 iNPH patients whose ABP and ICP were recorded simultaneously during 6 years (2002-2007). The static and pulsatile pressures were averaged...

The Wagner equation for prediction of vapor pressure has been modified in order to improve it accuracy. On the basis of this modifications, development of a new equation for prediction of vapor pressure is outlined. Examples of the use of the equation for obtaining vapor pressure for a total of 94 pure substance are given. The proposed equation combines simplicity and accuracy and performs as w...

Although CO2 injection is one of the most common methods in enhanced oil recovery, it could alter fluid properties of oil and cause some problems such as asphaltene precipitation. The maximum amount of asphaltene precipitation occurs near the fluid pressure and concentration saturation. According to the description of asphaltene deposition onset, the bubble point pressure has a very special imp...

pore pressureis defined as the pressure of the fluid inside the pore space of the formation, which is also known as the formation pressure. when the pore pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure, it is referred to as overpressure. knowledge of this pressure is essential for cost-effective drilling, safe well planning, and efficient reservoir modeling. the main objective of this study is to ...

this paper criticizes the model and the new definition for osmotic pressure given by parsafar et al. [j. sci. i. r. iran, vol. 10, no. 4, 233 (1999)]. the model is a closed system containing 1 kg of solvent plus m mole of solute at constant temperature and under pressure p0 + ? where p0 is the standard pressure and ? is the osmotic pressure of the corresponding m molal solution. while the total...

designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. a specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. there are generally three regi...
