According to the ply-discount theory, the degradation of properties after failure is simulated reducing the elastic properties of the failed plies, in conformity with the failure mode occurred.
Reduced myocardial coupling was simulated by reducing the 'intracellular' component of the bidomain conductivities.
The lesion was simulated by reducing the activity in the left half of the parietal module, in order to simulate a right hemisphere lesion since crossover of the optic radiations at the optic chiasm is not specifically represented in this model.
As in our previous paper [28], schizophrenia neuropathology was simulated by reducing the connections from the input layers ('object' and 'context') to the entorhinal layer, and the connections from the entorhinal to the hippocampal layer, by 50%.
Different levels of corrosion were simulated by reducing the thickness of the flanges and web by 20 100%.
To illustrate the concept, numerical studies have been performed considering shear building models, where damage conditions have been simulated by reducing the stiffness at the desired locations.
In the study, the impact of dieting was simulated by reducing the mice's caloric intake by 20percentto30 30 percent roughly equivalent to the caloric reduction of a typical human dieter.
The impact of self-administered HAART was simulated by reducing the baseline viral load using data on the effectiveness of HAART from the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) [32].
The urine pH condition was simulated by reducing the pH from 7.2 to 6.7 and the highest up-regulation was obtained by this treatment, one hour p.i. (5.92-fold, p<0.01), (Figure 2C).
Treatment was simulated by reducing the number of individuals infected by the product of the coverage, c, and the efficacy, f, of antibiotic in an individual.
