The uncertainties in the rates of hydrogen ingress into the pressure tubes have been found to be very large. On the basis of current knowledge, predictions of the future behaviour of pressure tubes due to hydride effects are extremely difficult. (Atomindex citation 15:022226)Leger, M...
5. Financial subsidy or incentive (I don’t think he can place any threshold on interest rates charged on mortgages as that would be considered as intervening in capital markets; he may, however, drop the current so-called “financial stress test” that looks at owner’s ability to pay off...

While MDA-MB-231 cell death rates showed their insensitivity to fluency index, MCF-7 cells showed quite impressive (three times) cell susceptibility in a shorter irradiation protocol. Independent of cell death, both cell types experienced a decrease in intracellular glutathione and, as a consequence...
Using pas- sive samplers and in vitro assays, they detected weak andro- genic and estrogenic activity in water at some locations, but toad hatching rates and low levels of intersex were not corre- lated either with local agricultural operations or with levels of endocrine activity. There was, ...
Further, these models can adapt and learn from new data such as changes in draft rates for reservoirs caused by human needs either due to climate change or agricultural cropping patterns and/or increasing municipal water requirements. They can continuously update their internal parameters to improve ...
The technology has been proven at small-scale with CO2 recovered at rates up to 800 t/day [15]. However, the major challenge for post-combustion CO2 capture is its large parasitic load. Since the CO2 level in combustion flue gas is normally quite low (i.e. 7–14% for coal-fired and...
Daily and monthly flowrates and quality constituents were calibrated and validated at the hydrometric station “Fragas da Torre”, hereafter FT (Figure 1b), for the periods of 1950–1974 and 1980–2011, respectively. This is the only hydrometric station with enough observed data in the catchmen...
In ecological applications it may be reasonable to validate process representations on the basis of the patterns they produce, assuming that those processes are stable through time (e.g. breeding rates, dispersal characteristics). However, models involving more dynamic processes, especially those ...
