The main difficulty is to reduce the locking phenomenon arising in bending dominated situations without destroying the ability of the procedure to accurately capture membrane dominated and mixed behaviors.
The developed finite element model is demonstrated through; i) tensile loading of a finite homogeneous material slab that offers a simple interpretation of results, ii) tensile loading of a double edge notch tension specimen involving symmetry considerations, and iii) shearing of a periodically voided structure that displays the ability of the procedure to treat periodic boundary conditions.
Double cross-validation was performed to assess the overall predictive ability of the procedure.
The ability of the procedure to attain 80% power under misspecifications of the prognostic factor was dependent on the percentage of trials that switched to quota sampling after 50% enrollment.
Interventional radiologists performing percutaneous renal ablation procedures have both the advantage of regular imaging follow-up post-procedure, and the ability of repeating the procedure should this be necessary at some point in the future.
Additionally, our analyses here suggest the ability of these procedures to allow interrogation of classes of rare transcripts, even at impressively low input RNA amounts, for which microarray technology is widely believed to be insufficiently sensitive.
The Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters (BEST) procedure is an attractive, easy, robust, and inexpensive way for a complete soil hydraulic characterization but testing the ability of this procedure to estimate the water retention curve is necessary as relatively little information is available in the literature.
The slope of the psychometric function is indicative of the ability of the adaptive procedure to reach a precise SRT: the steeper the psychometric function, the faster and more accurately the SRT will be obtained.
The use of decoy sets provides a useful measure of the discriminatory power of a docking process, measuring the ability of the docking procedure to identify active compounds early from an unbiased series.
We now present results of treatment of patients with adenocarcinoma using RAMPS with particular reference to the ability of this procedure to obtain negative tangential margin rates.
