It has largely faded from public consciousness, especially as details of its far more powerful offspring have been exposed, but it's important to frame automated government surveillance as an issue of our lifetimes rather than short-sightedly confining its influence to the advent of the mainstream internet.
Similarly, she argues, no prime minister should be at liberty to bypass cabinet by confining intelligence and influence to a favoured inner circle.
The peak axial stress and the corresponding axial strain was found to increase with the increase of confining pressure, although the influence of active lateral confinement was more pronounced on the triaxial strength of HSG samples.
Hamas defeated the rival Fatah forces loyal to the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, confining Mr. Abbas's influence to the West Bank.
Performance of a perforation is greatly influenced by confining pressure, which was mostly anisotropic, around the target.
For jet parameters, the velocity of particles increased with the growth of nozzle pressure drop, nozzle diameter and fluid temperature, but was hardly influenced by confining pressure.
A year later Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, routing Fatah's forces there and confining Mr. Abbas's influence — and that of his Western-backed Palestisian Authority, which is largely staffed by Fatah loyalists — to parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
It is also demonstrated that the steel connection plates, also as expected, have a considerable influence on confining lateral deflections of the mono CFST columns and that they significantly contribute to the columns' ultimate carrying capacity.
This paper focuses on the analysis of the influence of confining formations and pre-existing bedding planes and faults on the hydraulically-induced propagation of a vertical fracture, which will be called injection fracture, in a shale-gas reservoir.
In addition, stress-sensitive parameters are utilized for both the intact rock and bedding plane, among which the dilation angle and strength parameters of intact rock are influenced by confining pressure and loading history, whereas the stiffnesses of bedding planes are closely related to the current normal stress.
It seems that heterogeneity enhances the influence of confining pressure on the breakdown pressure of cracks.
