The most critical drawback of hydrogel member based system, however, is that the hydrogels are not robust without an aqueous environment and the volume of the hydrogels can be changed significantly depending on the amount of the water absorption [14].
Furthermore, compressing the fresh concrete increases the amount of energy absorption and the linear stage of the concrete stress-strain curve, although the energy absorbed by the compressed concrete is lower compared to that of the uncompressed concrete with the same strength.
We note that the the amount of astrospheric absorption scales with the wind ram pressure, and the stellar wind velocity has to be assumed to derive the mass loss rate (Wood and Linsky, 1998).
Arrays of heaving point absorbers in various arrangements are analysed to study their performance in terms of the amount of power absorption and the power uniformity among floaters.
The amount of N2 absorption decreased as the size of the cation of the AAIL decreased.
Therefore, the IPCE spectra are influenced mainly by the light-harvesting efficiency that is represented by the amount of light absorption by the dye (i.e. the inset in Figure 4a).
For the analytical study of the prepared sample, the amount of absorption within the wavelength of 350 to 600 nm was observed by UV-vis spectroscopy.
An optimum prestressing level in the NSM-CFRP strips was determined that enhances the beam performance under service and ultimate loads by maintaining the amount of energy absorption in the strengthened beam equal to the un-strengthened control beam.
For the spectral analysis, it was assumed that the total absorption of the probed sample is a linear combination of the different amount of absorption by the 4 main chromophores present in the breast: deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb), oxy-hemoglobin (HbO2), water and lipid.
The surface reflectance will affect the amount of light absorption; therefore, the reflectance [R] spectrum was measured and depicted in Figure 3b.
