The results show that the assumptions of some design codes can result in unconservative shear design for non-prismatic sections.
We explicitly state several assumptions of the design and examine the conditions under which VE estimates derived with it are valid and unbiased.
Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of educational design research, we engaged in a development study of two prototypes of a teaching sequence in two schools in the state of Bahia, Brazil.
PHEV battery goals may vary according to differing assumptions of PHEV design, performance, use patterns, and consumer demand and the battery development is still constrained by inherent trade-offs among five main battery attributes such as power, energy, longevity, safety, and cost.
As more data accumulate, pmat increases; when it reaches 100%, the data are ready for analysis (under the assumptions of the design).
On the basis of previous simulation studies and empirical data and given the potential limitations and uncertainty of assumptions of partial-collection designs, the case control design is the optimal choice versus partial-collection designs.
This proposal to harness the power of sensors on mobile devices challenged our initial assumptions of the concept design, as well as the actual design of artefacts, and emphasised how mobile devices may engage young people with citizen inquiry.
Although the sensitivity theory itself is based on the assumption of small design parameter perturbations, relatively large changes can be accommodated by combining small changes.
The assumption of this design is that living spouses constituted an approximately random sample of the base population with similar smoking habits to those of the study base.
Considering that psychotropic medications are often used on a regular and chronic basis [ 8, 17, 27], it can be speculated that, in the present study, one of the most important assumptions of the case crossover design was not met, and, therefore, the choice of this study design was probably not appropriate.
