Example sentences for: hydraulic

How can you use “hydraulic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In macroscopic terms, water movement through plants had long been thought of as a biophysical problem, as a topic of capillary resistance in pressurized pipes terminating in 'sprinkler' systems - the stomata - whose apertures adjust when responding to changes in hydraulic pressure.

  • The reduction of tissue water content in response to low temperature is believed to be due to an impedance of water uptake by the roots [ 15 ] . Reduced root hydraulic conductance occurs shortly after plants are transferred from warm to cooler temperatures.

  • Here's what they've forgotten--Rembrandt, van Gogh, Spinoza, hydraulic engineering, silver skates, Boswell's education, (I was sure there'd be many a smartass remark about his law school days), treat, courage, uncle, rub, elm disease, those damned Spanish Hapsburgs, that crazy Protestant Reformation (the long hair, the beads, the--oh, wait, Woodstock again), the seizure of Sumatra, the wars with England and their possible connection to the death of Christopher Marlowe (who never got to see Gwyneth Paltrow naked, but might have if only he and she had been at Woodstock), and the nation's new maturity in 1952 when it took its place among other great nations as a member of the European Coal and Steel Commission.

  • Because the movement of water through plants and plant tissues involves several barriers, including apoplastic, symplastic and transcellular ones, a single set of measures of overall hydraulic conductivity, although useful, is not sufficient for determining how particular AQPs function in planta .
