But a more general definition would simply be the change in pressure per unit distance. In meteorology, the term usually refers to a pressure gradient in the atmosphere, most often in the horizontal direction. For decades, studying pressure gradients, as well as the related high- and low-...
Pressure Gradient refers to the macroscopic force that accelerates air towards lower pressure when there is a difference in pressure across a volume of air in a specific direction. It is proportional to the spatial gradient of pressure rather than the pressure itself. ...
Zooplankton functional diversity as a bioindicator of freshwater ecosystem health across land use gradient Article Open access 08 August 2024 Data availability The data that support the findings of this study are publicly available on Zenodo Digital Repository at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.640678...
The amount of fluid displaced at different levels also favours this gradient of sensitivity to different frequencies. Thus different sound frequencies cause vibrations at different points on the basilar membrane. Vibration of the basilar membrane causes the cilia of the hair cells to be deflected, ...

3. Biology a. A piece of shell covering or enclosing certain mollusks or other invertebrates, especially the single one of a univalve mollusk or one of the paired hinged ones of a bivalve mollusk or brachiopod. b. One of the two siliceous halves of the cell wall of a diatom. 4. One...
using a different model bacterial biofilm producer,Vibrio cholerae18, the causal agent of the pandemic disease cholera. We systematically validate the importance of the osmotic pressure gradient in driving colony expansion. We also examine the differences in biofilm growth and expansion that arise due ...
Further, Wang et al.’s (2021) analysis of PINNs demonstrates that higher-order gradients dominate the cumulative gradient vector used to update the network parameters. This result suggests that a non-physical diffusion term can obfuscate progress towards the correct, physical solution. Since BOS ...
Blood pressureis highest in the large conduit arteries, which leave the left ventricle of the heart, and decreases steadily through the arterial, capillary, and venous compartments; however, the largest drop in pressure occurs on the arterial side. Maintenance of this decreasing gradient of pressure...
Thereafter, flow decelerates (continues to decrease) because the pressure gradient has been reversed. With right ventricular ejection, there is shortening of the free wall of the right ventricle (descent of the tricuspid valve ring) and lateral compression of the chamber. However, with left ...
