Modelling of Long and Short Term Blood Pressure Control Systems
Blood pressure levels are tightly controlled in the body by a variety of interconnected mechanisms at the short-, medium- and long-term scale. In pathophysiological conditions, blood pressure may be chronically elevated above normal levels, which can lead to the development of cardiovascular …

Steps Towards a Closed-Loop System for Blood Pressure Control
Management of blood pressure in the operating room is currently done manually by anesthesiologists. Poor blood pressure management has been linked to poor postoperative outcomes. As such, development of a closed-loop system for blood pressure control is warranted, given it produces improved patient …

Tyre Inflation Pressure control to improve vehicle ride comfort on rough roads
… are largely influenced by the tyre pressure. As a result, tyre pressure has an influence on tyre enveloping and ride comfort. To take advantage of the influence of tyre pressure on ride comfort, a pressure controlled tyre was developed to vary the tyre pressure, thus varying the tyre …

Embeddable micro pinch valve for localized pressure control on modular pneumatic soft robotic arm
… scalability of the robot. Localizing the fluid control can reduce the number of tubes connecting to soft robots, especially for those with many degrees of freedom (DoFs). It also enables modular design, which allows the robots to be reconfigured for different tasks. To achieve localized control …

Exercise, arterial pressure control & systemic O2 tension : implications for post exercise hypotension in hypertension
… and compared the results to a non-exercise control condition. 9 pre-hypertensive males, mean arterial pressure (MAP) = 106 ± 5 mmHg (50 ± 10 yr), not on medication, were studied for 6 hours following 30-minutes of cycle exercise at 70% maximal oxygen consumption and following 30-minutes of …

Individual cell pressure control in an air mattress for the prevention of the pressure sores
Many kinds of pressure-relieving mattresses have been developed to prevent pressure sores in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) and obesity. Current technology uses alternating air pressure mattress, foam and low pressure mattress for reducing the incidence of pressure sores in SCI and …

Experimental Study on Improving the Waterflooding Potential in Different Heavy Oil-Solvent Systems
… previous studies, the parameters related to the pressure change, such as the injection rate, the start time of waterflooding, the voidage replacement ratio (VRR) control, etc., have been studied to take full advantage of the nature energies in heavy oil waterflooding processes. However, few …

Social Cognitive Predictors of Diabetes Outcomes in Latinos and Whites
… were used to predict HbA1c, BMI, and Blood Pressure control. It was hypothesized that cultural values would be moderated by well-being and self-efficacy during diabetic treatment. Specifically, better health outcomes are expected with lower levels of depression, higher family support for …

A Quantitative Analysis of the Role of Antihypertensive Drug Dose on Hypertension in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
… the effect of antihypertensive dose on blood pressure control in this population is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antihypertensive dose on blood pressure control in children with CKD. We hypothesize that uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN) is associated with …

Optimization of the glass fiber forming process for single-tip and small-number-tip positions
… The primary effort of this project was put into controlling glass head pressure. On the full-scale system constant glass depth is maintained and the glass weight controls the flow rate of glass through the fiber forming tips. On the small system flow rate is controlled by a combination of …

Scale-up of continuous chemical synthesis systems
… scales. When scaling up, it was determined that pressure control was critical to the operation of the separators. A pressure control module was designed and integrated into the separator device to provide the appropriate conditions to guarantee separation. The separators required no outside …
