    Derailment can often be manifestly caused by intense emotions such as euphoria or hysteria. Some of the synonyms given above (loosening of association, asyndetic thinking) are used by some authors to refer just to a loss of goal: discourse that sets off on a particular

  4. Lost to follow-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_to_follow-up

    Low rates of retention and high rates of patients lost-to-follow-up have many side-effects, including longer clinical research trial periods and more monetary expenditures because extra resources may need to be dedicated to the recruitment efforts.

  5. Hypoxemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxemia

    The external partial pressure of oxygen decreases with altitude, for example in areas of high altitude or when flying. This decrease results in decreased carriage of oxygen by hemoglobin. [ 13 ] This is particularly seen as a cause of cerebral hypoxia and mountain sickness in climbers of Mount Everest and other peaks of extreme altitude.

  6. Sociotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociotropy

    The research concluded that anxiety and sociotropy are positively correlated in many situations such as social evaluation, physical danger, and ambiguous situations. Sociotropy and anxiety are present in these situations because they are social by definition, and therefore associated with emphasis on social relationships that are characteristic ...

    The head loss Δh (or h f) expresses the pressure loss due to friction in terms of the equivalent height of a column of the working fluid, so the pressure drop is =, where: Δh = The head loss due to pipe friction over the given length of pipe (SI units: m); [b]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus

    A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.

  9. ΔP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΔP

    Given that the head loss h f expresses the pressure loss Δp as the height of a column of fluid, Δ p = ρ ⋅ g ⋅ h f {\displaystyle \Delta p=\rho \cdot g\cdot h_{f}} where ρ is the density of the fluid.
