This paper is focused on demonstrating that it is possible to reduce the thermal conductivity of polymeric foams by reducing the average cell size below the micron.
This present study was focused on demonstrating how the model (updated version with uncertainty and variability separated and 2nd order Monte Carlo procedure run) could be used to assess quantitatively the influence of management options.
In this paper, the effort was focused on demonstrating the sensing capability of the chemiluminescence-based device for detecting soil deformation or movement in the event of a landslide.
Rather than taking donations to deliver humanitarian aid, Zipline is focused on demonstrating its value to, and working directly with governments in nations that lack infrastructure, such as roads and railways that they would need to efficiently distribute medical supplies on the ground.
Evolutionary studies of adaptation in plants have traditionally been focused on demonstrating the role and efficacy of natural selection in producing environmentally adapted genotypes (e.g. Stebbins 1952).
Although this study was focused on demonstrating buffering at the organismal level rather than on elucidating the molecular mechanism(s) of buffering, we appreciate the desire for a more extensive discussion of the latter.
Recent research suggests that those high in normative goals (e.g., "My goal in class is to get a better grade than most of the students") fare better academically than those high in ability goals (e.g., "In school I am focused on demonstrating my intellectual ability"; Hulleman, Durik, Schweigert, & Harackiewicz, 2008; Hulleman, Schrager, Bodmann, & Harackiewicz, 2010).
In addition, participants completed the Achievement Goal Inventory (Grant & Dweck, 2003), an 18-item questionnaire that distinguishes between normative goals (6 items, α =.92 e.g., "My goal in class is to get a better grade than most of the students" ) and nonnormative ability goals (3 items, α =.81 e.g., "In school I am focused on demonstrating my intellectual ability").
1, 2 Similarly, modeling and simulation objectives are focused on recommending doses that are adequately demonstrated to be similar to those established in adults (an equivalence approach) or those which allow mapping of the exposure response relationship to suspected target activity thresholds.
