What's the difference between hydraulic and slickens?

Hydraulic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to hydraulics, or to fluids in motion; conveying, or acting by, water; as, an hydraulic clock, crane, or dock.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A hydraulic parfait model illustrates a concept of symptom production by additive accumulation of pathology from various etiologies.
  • (2) Insertion into the ETT of a pressure catheter (external diameter: d) to stimulate in vivo measurements did not modify these results, provided the hydraulic diameter, D* = D - d, was substituted for D in the Blasius formula.
  • (3) Total hydraulic power expended per unit of forward flow was computed as an index of right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling.
  • (4) Fenestrated endothelia have higher hydraulic conductivities and are more permeable to small ions and molecules than are continuous endothelia.
  • (5) A hydraulic model confirmed that this effect caused the appearance of the TP.
  • (6) The observation that the apparent activation energy for hydraulic conductivity is less than that for water diffusion across the red cell membrane is characteristic of viscous flow and suggests that the flow of water across the membranes of these red cells under an osmotic pressure gradient is a viscous process.
  • (7) Decreases in permeability and in reflection coefficient for urea and increase in hydraulic conductivity increased the osmotic gradients along each compartment.
  • (8) The animals were chronically instrumented with a microtip manometer in the left ventricle, two pairs of piezoelectric crystals for sonomicrometry and a hydraulic occluder around the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery and arterial and venous catheters.
  • (9) Potential dermal exposure from tractor-powered sprayers fitted with conventional hydraulic nozzles was lower than from knapsack sprayers, with exposure from a tractor-powered sprayer fitted with controlled-droplet application equipment intermediate in this regard.
  • (10) Recent data are provided on the technique of arm radiography to quantify changes in arm muscle and fat following strength development with hydraulic resistance exercise equipment.
  • (11) It is argued that the CFC changes are best explained by changes in the hydraulic conductivity of the exchange vessels, rather than through changes in the perfused surface area, and that the CFC changes are similar to the permeability changes caused by inflammatory mediators and catecholamines observed by others.
  • (12) Industry estimates suggest there may be enough of this and other so-called "unconventional" forms of gas, which are newly accessible because of advances in a technique known as hydraulic fracturing - "fracking" – to power the globe for two centuries.
  • (13) The acute hydraulic effects, reflex and hormonal responses, and local autoregulatory responses and their interactions are reviewed.
  • (14) Transfer fractions obtained using this method were also compared to the fractions determined by a previously described technique, deconvolution analysis, for a hydraulic model in which a third, inaccessible pool was interposed between the two accessible pools.
  • (15) Nevertheless, the glomerular transcapillary hydraulic pressure difference (deltaP) uniformly increased with antidiuresis, due to consistent reductions in Bowman's space hydraulic pressure rather than to increases in glomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, the former a consequence of the fall in urine flow rate.
  • (16) The time constant of isovolumic pressure fall (T) and end-systolic pressure (ESP) were calculated during the control state, caval occlusion, aortic constriction obtained by inflation of a hydraulic cuff occluder positioned around the aorta, and during the inflation of an intra-aortic balloon.
  • (17) Such an approach permits separation of pulsatile phenomena from steady flow phenomena; it is the basis for description of hydraulic load as vascular impedance and for application of engineering principles to the study of fatigue and degeneration of arteries; it readily explains disturbed arterial function in hypertension in terms of increased peripheral resistance and of increased arterial stiffness.
  • (18) In the presence of horse immunoglobulin G, a wholly rejected protein, the rejection of cytochrome c was increased and hydraulic flux was reduced.
  • (19) Vascular impedance and pulsatile hydraulic power (Wp) levels of isolated perfused rabbit lungs were compared after similar rises of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAp), induced either by vasoconstriction or by left atrial pressure (LAp) elevation.
  • (20) (3) The grades of osmotic gradient, of hydraulic conductivity, and of semipermeable property of gland epithelia were described.

Slickens


Definition:

  • (n.) The pulverized matter from a quartz mill, or the lighter soil of hydraulic mines.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Residents were preparing for a storm that threatened to slicken highways, freeze power lines – and leave them stranded through the weekend.
