  2. Birefringence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birefringence

    Birefringence is observed in anisotropic elastic materials. In these materials, the two polarizations split according to their effective refractive indices, which are also sensitive to stress. The study of birefringence in shear waves traveling through the solid Earth (the Earth's liquid core does not support shear waves) is widely used in ...

  3. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum pressure during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum pressure between two heartbeats) in the cardiac cycle. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) above the surrounding atmospheric pressure , or in kilopascals (kPa).

    A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...

  5. Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_arterial_pressure

    In medicine, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle. [1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures), and add that amount to the diastolic pressure.

  7. Interference colour chart - Wikipedia

    If the birefringence is known, then the thickness, t, of the sample can be determined; If the thickness is known, then the birefringence of the sample can be determined; As the order of the optical path difference increases, then it is more likely that more wavelengths of light will be removed from the spectrum.
