The phrase "age of material" is not a standard expression in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing the period or era characterized by the use or significance of physical materials, but clarity may be lacking.
Example: "In the age of material, we often prioritize tangible goods over digital innovations."
Alternatives: "era of materials" or "period of physical goods".
Using radiocarbon dating, which measures the age of material based on how many of the carbon atoms in them have undergone radioactive decay, he estimated that a bit of burned bear bone found on one of the structures was about 47,600 years old — making it almost as old as modern humans' presence in Europe.
Mean age theory extends the usefulness of the concept by providing spatial distributions of the mean age of material inside a system using an innovative steady-state approach that incorporates time as a passive scalar, but has been limited to single phase systems.
Even in our age of material well-being this must be so, else how should we explain the happiness we feel in sharing our last crust with others in the desert?
"Traditionally, scientific analysis has been able to distinguish authenticity by the nature and age of materials," she said.
In other circumstances, time trend effects can be caused by learning effects of the test subjects in behavioural and life sciences, heating or ageing of material in prototype experiments, etc.
We'll be thinking, then, about the many meanings of seeing and un-seeing material in the age of being material.
Aging of materials can have significant effects on the structural performance of highway bridges.
Ageing of materials or pre-treatment through leaching is needed prior to their use in construction to avoid peak concentrations.
The supercomputer at the lab, expected to be completed by 2004, will use its 130,000 processors to simulate physical phenomena like the aging of materials, fires and explosions, potentially useful in safety and security planning.
However, due to the ageing of materials and to aggressive environmental actions which cause deterioration, the response of these structures, just like others, changes over time, resulting in a loss of performance.
While aging of materials was clearly observed in a reduction of denitrification by 60 70% during the experiment, systems still worked very well until the end of the experiment.
