  2. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    CSF contains a similar concentration of sodium ions to blood plasma but fewer protein cations and therefore a smaller imbalance between sodium and chloride resulting in a higher concentration of chloride ions than plasma. This creates an osmotic pressure difference with the plasma. CSF has less potassium, calcium, glucose and protein. [6]

  3. List of reference ranges for cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reference_ranges...

    Reference ranges for ions and metals in CSF [1] Substance Lower limit Upper limit Unit Corresponds to % of that in plasma [clarification needed] Osmolality: 280 [1 ...

  4. Intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_pressure

    CSF pressure has been shown to be influenced by abrupt changes in intrathoracic pressure during coughing (which is induced by contraction of the diaphragm and abdominal wall muscles, the latter of which also increases intra-abdominal pressure), the valsalva maneuver, and communication with the vasculature (venous and arterial systems).

  5. Water supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply

    Water supply is the provision of water by public utilities, commercial organisations, community endeavors or by individuals, usually via a system of pumps and pipes. Public water supply systems are crucial to properly functioning societies. These systems are what supply drinking water to populations around the globe. [1]

  6. Public water system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_water_system

    Community Water System (CWS). A public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round. Non-Transient Non-Community Water System (NTNCWS). A public water system that regularly supplies water to at least 25 of the same people at least six months per year. Some examples are schools, factories, office buildings, and hospitals ...

  7. Caesium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium_fluoride

    CsF is more soluble than sodium fluoride or potassium fluoride in organic solvents. It is available in its anhydrous form, and if water has been absorbed, it is easy to dry by heating at 100 °C for two hours in vacuo. [7] CsF reaches a vapor pressure of 1 kilopascal at 825 °C, 10 kPa at 999 °C, and 100 kPa at 1249 °C. [8]

  8. Multi-stage flash distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_flash_distillation

    The total evaporation in all the stages is up to approximately 85% of the water flowing through the system, depending on the range of temperatures used. With increasing temperature there are growing difficulties of scale formation and corrosion. 110-120 °C appears to be a maximum, although scale avoidance may require temperatures below 70 °C.

  9. Reissner's fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reissner's_fiber

    The concentration of these monoamines in the CSF in Reissner’s fiber-deprived animals was investigated, concluding that this fiber possibly may be involved in the cleaning of the liquid — based upon elevated levels of CSF concentration of several amines displayed in the tested animals, with L-DOPA demonstrating the largest increase.
