Alternatively, remanence anisotropy can be described by a second rank tensor and the paleointensity corrected (Veitch et al. 1984).
Liakopoulos (1960, 1965a, b) described the permeability in homogenous anisotropic soils by a second rank, symmetric, positive definite tensor.
In this paper, a single method for analysing magnetic susceptibility and P-wave velocity data is proposed, assuming that both measurement sets can be described by a second rank tensor, which is usually assumed for magnetic data only.
This may be the dirtiest story ever told by a first-rank writer in English, Joyce not excepted.
The damage of a planar, elastic and initially isotropic material is considered in the framework of a classical approach where the damaged elasticity tensor is ruled by a fourth-rank symmetric damage tensor.
If these domains do play a dominant role in RAP release, and hence in trafficking of receptor to the cell surface, the results obtained could be misleading, by focusing on a second-rank event such as modest weakening of D3 affinity, rather than the principal player.
AMS is represented by a symmetrical second-rank tensor, which is described by a triaxial ellipsoid with the principal eigenvectors, Kmax ≥ Kint ≥ Kmin, corresponding to the maximum, intermediate, and minimum susceptibility axes, respectively.
The metrical relations of physical objects are determined by a physical field, the metric field, which is represented by the second rank metric tensor field.
Table 8 shows the ranking dimensions of incubators include three dimensions, with incubator goals such as entrepreneurial climate indicating the highest ranking followed by second rank of incubator services including strong tangible and specialized services.
