Embedment of fiber sensors in the panel was done so as to minimize risk of fiber breaking during manufacturing and impact testing and to effectively capture strains that are representative of damage developed in the panel due to compressive load.
Moreover, isochromatic fringes observed in photoelastic tests, display transfer stresses in the adherends ahead of the crack tip, which are found to be representative of the damage zone for each loading mode.
An elevated troponin in critically ill patients is often thought to be representative of widespread organ damage rather than coronary pathology.
Alternatively, increased p53 protein expression might be representative of progressive chromosomal damage, such as cells treated in vitro with ultraviolet or gamma irradiation (Zhang et al, 1993; Agami and Bernards, 2000; Denko et al, 2000).
Measurement of specific isomers (e.g., the biologically active 8-iso-PGF2α) with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry is preferable to enzyme immunoassay, although multiple isomers can be representative of oxidative lipid damage, and the liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method in a study of this size is cost prohibitive (Il'yasova et al. 2012; Smith et al. 2011).
ERCC1 has also been supported by studies that demonstrate cancers with extensive genomic alterations have more malignant phenotype and increased growth rates, and ERCC1 may be representative of the intrinsic DNA damage-repair ability of the cell [ 18, 19].
Our data demonstrate the existence of a lung specific cytokine profile, and suggest that serum cytokine levels may not be representative of local tissue inflammation and end-organ damage.
Our data therefore, may not be representative of the BP response in patients with acute confirmed target-organ damage caused by hypertension.
Such models must be representative of the cellular interactions present in tissues and capable of quantifying genotoxic damage.
Extrapolating this evidence is difficult as all patients had confirmed brain damage and had undergone prolonged rehabilitation, thus are unlikely to be representative of all survivors [ 129].
