This model, spatially constructed solely from the microscopic images, was subsequently validated by our mechanical test results. We found that: (1) a primary mechanism for stress concentration reduction appears to be due to an increased compliance near the foramen: the sharp discontinuity represented ...
The central goal of this Focus Point was to extend experimental and theoretical approaches with the aim to advance our understanding beyond the "standard" interpretations of the instability of thin liquid films in the nanometer range. Previously, when theoretically analysing experimental results, typicall...
Results. After 2 years, the risk of past-year physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner was reduced by more than half (adjusted risk ratio = 0.45; 95% confidence interval = 0.23, 0.91). Improvements in all 9 indicators of empowerment were observed. Reductions in violence resulted ...
The answer may lie in our biology. Long-term stress usually results in increased levels of cortisol, which can lead to increased appetite. In addition, stress can spike ghrelin, a hormone related to hunger cues. To address stress eating, it can be helpful to manage any underlying stress and...
Results: Three domains of understanding were identified: compre- hension of results, interpretations of scientific uncertainty, and per- sonal meaning for the child and family. Incomplete comprehension of test results and scientific uncertainty were prominent themes for families receiving results in both ...
A theoretical model was developed to understand the dynamics of fluid–structure interaction and to verify the experimental results. The model (Fig. 1d-I,d-ii) generally includes two sections—the pressurized channel and the vertical tube at the end of the channel. Applying the unsteady Bernoulli...
The test results demonstrate that the effects of initial anisotropy produced during sample preparation are significant. The stress–strain–strength behaviour of the specimen shows strong dependence on the principal stress direction. Preloading history, material density and particle shape are also found to...
Now possibly fighting cancer (waiting on test results) I have gone back to how I was raised on the farm. Much more limited on food choices as the supermarket is 95% GMO. I have been fighting GMO from the first time I researched it. TY has only added so much more valuable knowledge ...
Test results are related to different kinds of criteria, including job offers following interview, supervisor ratings on the job, and objective indices of work performance. From the practices reported and observed in these various contexts, a theory of personal appraisal mechanisms in occupational ...
Results and discussion Poroelastic spring–slider model When fluid is injected into a faulted reservoir, the pore pressure change induces effective stress variations in the reservoir and surrounding rock (Fig. 1a). To model the effects of variations in effective normal stress on a creeping fault seg...
