How do air parcels respond to a horizontal air pressure gradient? A horizontal pressure gradient refers to air pressure changes along a surface of constant altitude. The horizontal wind is governed by interactions of the pressure gradient force, centripetal force, Coriolis Effect, friction, and gravity. The pressure gradient force initiates air motion and arises in part from spatial variations in air temperature and, to a lesser extent, water vapor concentration.
Carbon fiber was invented in 1958 by Roger Bacon. It used Rayon  fibers which where heated until carbonized to create a highly  durable and strong material.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae - Discovery and history. 1  In 1898, Nocard and Roux were the first to isolate a mycoplasma species in culture from bovine; however, it was not until 1944 when Mycoplasma pneumoniae, known then as Eaton agent or Eaton's agent, [1] was isolated and described from a patient with primary atypical pneumonia.
