Furthermore, NDT characterization has been capable of detecting alterations in material properties.
Local variations in the matrix composition can lead to inaccurate quantitative results because of alterations in material ablation, aerosol transport, and analyte ionization efficiencies.
Beside alterations in material properties of the passive components of the spine, increased neuromuscular activity may also contribute to a stiffened spine.
Though required in trace amounts for biological functions, excess chromium is reported to cause health-related problems like rashes, ulcers, respiratory disorders, alteration in genetic material, cancer (Banerjee et al. 2010 ) and weakening of immune system (Shrivastava et al. 2002).
However, the low frequency of this alteration in our material implies that development of metachronous breast cancer and colorectal cancer in women is per se not alone to identify individuals with a high likelihood of being carriers of the CHEK2 1100delC mutation.
In this paper, we propose a new, simplified method for quantifying the degree of weathering and subsequent alteration in rock materials based on pycnometer measurements of specific gravity and a combination of relevant formulas using porosity, void ratio and dry unit weight.
Recently, alterations in bone material properties seem to be the predominant defect leading to increased bone fragility.
The first involves improving the taste of fair trade commodities through alterations in their material supply chains while the second involves novel marketing narratives designed to invoke these conventions of quality through highly meaningful discursive and visual means.
These characteristics of degenerating synapses are widely accepted to be the best early morphological indicators of synaptic degeneration [10], [39], [40] and we did not identify any obvious intermediate states preceding these morphological alterations in our material.
