However, an extended clinical assessment in a 10% random sample of the LUCAS cohort confirmed the functional grading by the FA index [ 30].
The present work focuses on improving the thermoelectric efficiency of PbTe-based materials by functional grading and by taking advantage of the specific features of indium as dopant element.
A parametric numerical modelling study has been made of the in-plane elastic properties of honeycombs and how they are affected by functional grading and hierarchy, and importantly to establish whether it is possible to avoid reductions in Young's modulus.
Reinforcement of fibrous composites by stiff particles embedded in the matrix offers the potential for simple, economical functional grading, enhanced response to mechanical loads, and improved functioning at high temperatures.
In the univariate analysis, atelectasis was associated with sex and the NYHA functional grade.
The list contains chromosomal coordinates and RE sequence features resulting in the assigned functional grade.
A structured model for such a functional grading was also suggested by the SCPE group and may be very useful when describing populations of children with CP.
The results were graded on a modification of functional grading system given in the literature [1].
Functional grading of the EBC coating is found to reduce interfacial σxx mismatch at the interfaces of the coating system.
Optimal tailoring of a plate is explored, and functional grading is shown to improve the performance of the structures considered.
