Dilution of the blood by IV administration of excessive amounts of hypotonic solutions, which causes progressive swelling and eventual rupture of the erythrocyte, also results in hemolysis. Also spelled haemolysis. Also called hematolysis. See also hemolysin, hemolytic anemia, transfusion reaction.
Rolling resistance is a complex phenomenon, but simply put, it is the energy a tire consumes while rolling under a load. The resistance is influenced by the friction between the tire tread and the road surface, and the amount of energy consumed by the flexing of the tire sidewalls as the tire rolls over the road.
Glossary of Plastic Injection Molding Terms. Abrasion Resistance: The ability of a material to withstand mechanical actions such as rubbing, scraping, or erosion, that tend progressively to remove material from its surface. Acceptable runner/cavity ratio: runner systems designed for high pressure drops to minimize material.
