A sphere without bump mapping (left). A bump map to be applied to the sphere (middle). The sphere with the bump map applied (right) appears to have a mottled surface resembling an orange. Bump maps achieve this effect by changing how an illuminated surface reacts to light, without modifying the size or shape of the surface.
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.
An alternative definition of CPP is: [1] = where: MAP is mean arterial pressure ICP is intracranial pressure JVP is jugular venous pressure. This definition may be more appropriate if considering the circulatory system in the brain as a Starling resistor, where an external pressure (in this case, the intracranial pressure) causes decreased blood flow through the vessels.
A high-pressure area, high, or anticyclone, is an area near the surface of a planet where the atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure in the surrounding regions. Highs are middle-scale meteorological features that result from interplays between the relatively larger-scale dynamics of an entire planet's atmospheric circulation .
The earliest known concept of pressure points can be seen in the South Indian Varma kalai based on Siddha. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] The concept of pressure points is also present in the old school Japanese martial arts; in a 1942 article in the Shin Budo magazine , Takuma Hisa asserted the existence of a tradition attributing the first development of ...
Evidence for pressure solution has been described from sedimentary rocks that have only been affected by compaction. The most common example of this is bedding plane parallel stylolites developed in carbonates. In a tectonic manner, deformed rocks also show evidence of pressure solution including stylolites at a high angle to bedding. [4]
