  2. Dry-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry-bulb_temperature

    The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air, but shielded from radiation. [1] The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature. It is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the air ...

  3. Sneeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneeze

    Holding in sneezes, such as by pinching the nose or holding one's breath, is not recommended as the air pressure places undue stress on the lungs and airways. [15] One computer simulation suggests holding in a sneeze results in a burst of air pressure of 39 kPa, approximately 24 times that of a normal sneeze. [16]

  5. Spirometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    Total lung capacity: the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation, the sum of VC and RV. TV: Tidal volume: that volume of air moved into or out of the lungs in 1 breath (TV indicates a subdivision of the lung; when tidal volume is precisely measured, as in gas exchange calculation, the symbol TV or V T is used.) RV

  7. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  8. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_positive_airway...

    Both modalities stent open the alveoli in the lungs and thus recruit more of the lung surface area for ventilation. However, while PEEP refers to devices that impose positive pressure only at the end of the exhalation , CPAP devices apply continuous positive airway pressure throughout the breathing cycle.

  9. 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,3'-Diaminobenzidine

    3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) is an organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 3 (NH 2) 2) 2. This derivative of benzidine is a precursor to polybenzimidazole, which forms fibers that are renowned for their chemical and thermal stability. [1] As its water-soluble tetrahydrochloride, DAB has been used in immunohistochemical staining of nucleic ...
