  • (19) Comparison of the results of this study for the arterial system to the Hagen-Poiseuille Law reveals close agreement, if correction is made for geometric factors of blood vessels and for the variation of viscosity with diameter for blood.
  • (20) The method is based on taking the geometric mean of two Hermitian symmetric data points before Fourier transformation.

Isometric


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Isometrical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Circular muscle strips from the opossum esophageal body obtained 3-5 cm above the esophagogastric junction were suspended in organ baths for measurement of isometric tension.
  • (2) It may, however, be useful to compare local wall dynamics in the more isometrically-contracting basal segment with those in the middle portion which brings about most of the emptying of the ventricle.
  • (3) The power spectrum of the EMG was analyzed during isometric contractions of the shoulder muscles.
  • (4) Rings of isolated coronary and femoral arteries (without endothelium) were suspended for isometric tension recording in organ chambers filled with modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution.
  • (5) Angiotensin tachyphylaxis was studied in the isolated guinea pig ileum under isometric conditions.
  • (6) Isometric exercise induces a significant shortening of both intervals although minor for QT so that the ratio significantly increases in comparison to baseline (p less than .001).
  • (7) Starting from the observation that the part above 6 Hz of the power spectrum of force tremor during isometric contractions can be related to the unfused twitches of motor units firing asynchronously, an attempt was made to study the usefulness of force tremor spectral analysis as a global descriptor of motoneurone pool activity.
  • (8) The stiffness of the fibre first rose abruptly in response to stretch and then started to decrease linearly while the stretch went on; after the completion of stretch the stiffness decreased towards a steady value which was equal to that during the isometric tetanus at the same sarcomere length, indicating that the enhancement of isometric force is associated with decreased stiffness.
  • (9) For this purpose, the fastest possible self-paced single isometric forefinger extensions and the fastest alternating forefinger movements were tested.
