Typical stress factors

A distinction is to be made between the terms 'efficacy' and 'effectiveness'. Efficacy is defined as "the probability of benefit to individuals in a defined population from a medical technology applied for a given medical problem under ideal conditions of use". By contrast, effectiveness is considered to have all the attributes of efficacy but to reflect "performance under ordinary conditions by the average practitioner for the typical patient" [12].

We are a group of dedicated material scientists each with 15–25 years of research and development experience in the assembly and interconnect technologies of electronics. Our experience in chemical and mechanical interfacial compatibility between dissimilar materials dates back to the end of the 1980s. Since the early 1990s with the rise of the electronics industry in Finland, we focused our work increasingly into the challenges of materials, assembly technologies and reliability of portable electronics.

In this paper, an interaction integral method for calculating the T-stress for two-dimensional crack problems using the extended radial point interpolation method (XRPIM) is presented. Typical advantages of RPIM shape function are the satisfactions of the Kronecker’s delta property and the high-order continuity.

Permanganate may be applied to sites as either potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or sodium permanganate (NaMnO4). Where cost dominates over engineering factors at a site, potassium permanganate is the preferred chemical form because it is more widely available, less costly, and is available in solid form, which facilitates transport and handling. Where other factors are more important, the liquid form of sodium permangante is preferable.

The process of counting correct answers began by assigning a value to the responses to each question (Table 6). Where countries have substituted questions, or reworded them, we have also given a value of 1 to a correct response and 0 in all other cases. In the case of a country with fewer than 8 financial knowledge questions we have rescaled each score as necessary (typically multiplying by a factor of 8/7).

The three-dimensional crystal structure of recombinant annexin Gh1 fromGossypium hirsutum(cotton fibre) has been determined and refined to the finalR-factor of 0.219 at the resolution of 2.1 A ˚ . This plant annexin consists of the typical
annexin fold and is similar to the previously solved bell pepper annexinAnx24(Ca32), but significant differences are seen when compared to the structure of nonplant annexins.

Composites or composite materials are a combination of materials which provide different physical characteristics than either material separately. Composite material research within mechanical engineering typically focuses on designing (and, subsequently, finding applications for) stronger or more rigid materials while attempting to reduce weight, susceptibility to corrosion, and other undesirable factors. Carbon fiber reinforced composites, for instance, have been used in such diverse applications as spacecraft and fishing rods....

In this present, apply an extended meshfree radial point interpolation method (XRPIM) for analyzing crack behaviour in 2D orthotropic materials models. The thin plate spline (TPS) radial basis function (RBF) is used for constructing the RPIM shape functions. Typical advantages of using RBF are the satisfaction of the Kronecker’s delta property and the high-order continuity.
