Following laminated composite plates and beams, tapered laminated structures, which are formed by dropping off some of the plies at discrete positions over the laminate, have received much attention from researchers because of their structural tailoring capabilities, damage tolerance, and their potential for creating significant weight savings in engineering applications.
Finally, FRFs are analysed using suitable metrics, including a new one, which are compared in terms of their capability for damage identification.
On Monday Condoleezza Rice, on her way to Brussels, told reporters that NATO must "deny Russian strategic objectives, which are clearly to undermine Georgia's democracy, to use its military capability to damage and in some cases destroy Georgian infrastructure and to try and weaken the Georgian state".
A well-known pathogenic feature of CCHF virus is its capability to damage endothelium.
The impulsive force, energy absorption capability, and damage formation were also investigated.
These new assays have improved the capability of damage detection even below the classic cutoff values [ 11].
An increase of LDH release was found in A549 cells exposed to both MWCNTs demonstrating their capability to damage cell membrane).
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are immediately increased after a vessel occlusion is cleared, and are considered the main mediators of reperfusion injury [ 97] resulting in the release of cytochrome C [ 98]. Adult cardiomyocites are post-mitotic cells, therefore this tissue has limited response capability to damage.
Furthermore, the importance of NK cells was also related to its in vitro capability to damage A. fumigatus hyphae, but not resting spores, especially when incubated with alveolar macrophages, resulting in 2 8-fold greater killing and a marked induction of CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 when compared to macrophages alone or macrophages incubated with IFN- γ-deficient NK cells [ 148].
It has long been known that the mammalian cerebral cortex possesses regenerative capabilities when damage occurs during the neonatal period [31], [32].
