The use of DBD requires complicated power sources with matching boxes; however, DBD can generate high-density plasma jets using air flow as the feedstock gas at atmospheric pressure. Another configuration of DBD that has been used for producing APPJs is Coplanar DBD (CDBD).
The mean atmospheric pressure in May was 821.8 hPa.
The price of the G-TRAN Series "Multi ionization Gauge SH2" combined vacuum gauge will be 120,000 yen for the SH2 Multi ionization gauge unit for measurements between the medium and high vacuum range, 180,000 yen for the SH2 and SPU Pirani gauge connection type that can measure from low to high vacuum range, and 230,000 yen for the type which includes the SH2, SPU and SAU pressure sensor that can measure from the atmospheric pressure to high vacuum range.
Moving air mass is accompanied not only by changing atmospheric pressure, but also a change in temperature, humidity and other parameters that also affect the human body (Lupo 1998; Huth et al.
For every drop in atmospheric pressure of 10 millibars, the risk of DVT rose two per cent.
Even so, the predicted drop in atmospheric pressure will create conditions conducive to rain.

We know from the rovers Spirit and Opportunity (page 40) that even with sunlight only 43% as bright as on Earth and an atmospheric pressure less than 1% of ours, the dusty daytime sky from the surface of Mars is almost always too bright to permit stargazing.
An external wire free sensor placed outside - up to 30 meters, will allow the main unit to display atmospheric pressure changes with a displayed prediction of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours.
While vacuum forming used only atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) to force molten sheet into the contours of the mold, pressure forming used compressed air (20 to 50 psi) to do the same.
The typhoon had an atmospheric pressure of 950 hectopascals and was packing winds of up to 144 kph near its center.
(It's the reflection of microwaves off aluminum foil that causes damage to the magnetron in kitchen microwaves.) Parts are placed in a quartz glass container that is used to contain the plasma at atmospheric pressure once the container has been purged of air through the introduction of argon.
It had an atmospheric pressure of 915 hectopascals, packing winds of up to 198 kph near its center, the agency said.
However, when Gregoryanz and his colleagues raised the pressure on solid sodium beyond 30 gigapascals--300,000 times atmospheric pressure at sea level--the metal's melting temperature began to drop.
* We call them pressure-equalizing tubes because they allow atmospheric pressure changes to be balanced across the tympanic membrane when the eustachian tube is blocked.
