elevation

Examples of elevation in the following topics:

• Boiling Point Elevation

  • The boiling point of a solvent is elevated in the presence of solutes.
  • This is referred to as boiling point elevation.
  • Boiling point elevation can be explained in terms of vapor pressure.
  • The extent of the boiling point elevation can be calculated.
  • In this equation, $\Delta T_b$ is the boiling point elevation, $K_b$ is the boiling point elevation constant, and m is the molality of the solution.

• Statistical Literacy

  • What part of the state of Texas (North, South, East, or West) contains the highest elevation?

• Extremes in Blood Pressure

  • Chronically elevated blood pressure is called hypertension, while chronically low blood pressure is called hypotension.
  • Hypertension or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated above 140/90 mm Hg.
  • Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy.

• Hypertension

  • Hypertension is elevated blood pressure, clinically defined as at or greater than 140/90 (systolic/diastolic) mm/Hg.
  • Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.
  • The repercussions of chronically elevated blood pressure included widespread damage to the circulatory system, arterial disease, cardiac failure and even neurological impairments
  • Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy.

• Gravity

  • Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force (a conservative force), as work is required to elevate objects against Earth's gravity.
  • The potential energy due to elevated positions is called gravitational potential energy, evidenced, for example, by water held in an elevated reservoir or behind a dam (as an example, shows Hoover Dam).

• The Greenhouse Effect

  • The greenhouse effect is an elevation in surface temperatures due to atmospheric gases absorbing and re-radiating thermal energy.
  • Greenhouse gases then re-radiate this energy back to Earth, elevating atmospheric temperatures even when the surface is not being directly irradiated by the sun.

• Glucosuria

  • Glycosuria is nearly always caused by elevated blood glucose levels, most commonly due to untreated diabetes mellitus.
  • With normal kidney (renal) function, glucose is excreted in the urine only when there are abnormally elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
  • However, in those with renal glycosuria, glucose is abnormally elevated in the urine due to improper functioning of the renal tubules, which are the primary components of the nephrons that act as the filtering units of the kidneys.

• Sculpture

  • In Italy, some sculptures tended towards the Roman Classical styles that elevated sculpture beyond interior design.
  • In Italy, some sculptures tended towards the Roman Classical styles that elevated sculpture beyond interior design.

• Approach

  • Every salesperson should prepare a customized elevator pitch to quickly entice the customer to view the product offered as the solution to his needs.
  • The elevator pitch simply defines a product, service, or organization and its value proposition.
  • The term "elevator pitch" reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or approximately thirty seconds to two minutes.

• Diuretics

  • A diuretic (colloquially called a water pill) is any drug that elevates the rate of bodily urine excretion (diuresis).
  • A diuretic provides a means of forced diuresis which elevates the rate of urination.
  • Differentiate among the types of diuretics used to elevate urine excretion
