: The city of Providence is geographically very compact, characteristic of eastern seaboard cities that developed prior to use of the automobile.
The effect of mixing ratio on the porosity and tensile strength on the resulting compacts is quantified and, with the acoustic experimental data, mixing ratio is related to the compact ultrasonic characteristics.
These results indicate that urban planning for optimal city size, significant compact city characteristics and effective policies with sufficient financing can help reduce transport-related energy consumption and air pollution.
Thanks to their compact physical characteristics and low power consumption, RNs can be mounted on structures such as lamp posts with power supply facilities.
The compact morphology characteristic of Pandorina appears to be derived from ancestors with expanded ECM [ 8].
The YSU miniball is unique in its combination of performance characteristics, compact size and portability, enabling it to be easily transported to and placed within the confines of beamline hutches at synchrotron radiation sources.
Due to geometric and flow characteristics, compact (pitch to diameter ratios equal to or less than 1.25) heat exchangers with a crossflow flow arrangement can become desirable for these reactors.
Among the legumes, Medicago truncatula naturally stands out as a model legume organism, with several unique characteristics: compact genome size (estimated ~465 Mb according to Plant C-values database [ http://data.kew.org/cvalues/] [ 1]), rapid life cycle, accessible genetics tools including transposon tagging and easy transformation, as well as a rich collection of mutants and ecotypes.
As in demyelinating lesions in vivo, we show that OPCs in our slice system proliferate in response to demyelination, that macrophages are present to clear myelin debris, and that the return of myelin sheaths after demyelination represents compact myelin with characteristics of remyelination.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of waste tyre addition on self-compacting concretes' mechanical characteristics and fracture properties under bending.
