I conceived this book to advocate and celebrate concrete's beauty, efficacy and its incalculable contribution to modern life.
Discharge rates of water were measured in a canal using radiotracer methods with an objective to validate the efficacy of Concrete Volute Pumps (CVPs) installed at various pumping stations along the canal.
To make concrete claims about the efficacy of MIS treatment of deformity, studies with control groups treated with traditional deformity surgery are necessary.
For this reason, we do not report on student pre/post gain on the full test, nor do we argue that we have provided concrete evidence of the efficacy or shortcomings of the lesson plan in terms of alternate conceptions.
Although some researchers in the past have recognized the need for adaptive caching, to the best of our knowledge this is the first study to propose concrete algorithms and evaluate their efficacy.
Despite the limitations of product use in clinical trial settings, lessons learned from the approaches used to support product use in blinded trials can offer concrete guidance for future PrEP efficacy trials, and initial guidance for supporting PrEP use in "real life" contexts.
The present experimental study performed on unreinforced brick masonry panels strengthened by Welded Wire Mesh (WWM) and micro-concrete, aims to investigate the efficacy of this technique in enhancing the shear and ductility capacity of masonry.
Behaviour change strategies that will be used in all sites include for instance, persuasion, social modelling, reinforcing positive outcome expectations of the HIV prevention actions, and reinforcing self-efficacy and developing concrete action plans.
This paper presents results of an experimental study about (i) the efficacy of silicate-based impregnations to protect concrete elements, and (ii) the influence of the concrete substrate's characteristics on the performance of such superficial protection.
Next, these mixtures were examined to determine the efficacy of incorporating these waste materials in concrete pavements.
