Concordant strains must meet the following criteria: Strains that are related using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis.
On the basis of these criteria, strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria genera present themselves as suitable candidates for the purpose of this trial [ 28- 30].
The crack growth direction is estimated using the maximum tangential stress (MTS) criterion, the strain energy density (SED) criterion and the crack tip displacement (CTD) criterion.
A material model for hybrid-fibre engineered cementitious composites (ECC) under impact loading is developed and calibrated in this paper, and size effect, appropriate erosion criteria and strain rate effect are investigated and accounted for in the model.
It is mentioned that the UTS/YS and UTS-YS can be considered as criteria for strain hardening.
After the electrophoresis, the resulting banding patterns are compared, using a predefined set of criteria for strain relatedness [ 25].
Probes showing the best combination of thermodynamic criteria and strain coverage were selected for microarray manufacturing (Fig. 1f).
Using this criterion, a strain-versus-strain gene difference matrix was generated, where the difference matrix represents the number of genes/alleles that differs between any two isolates.
As shown in Fig. 23a, a significant proportion of occurrences is at the right-hand side of the criterion line indicating tensile strain values above +4.0e−4.
To select a criteria for strains different than N2, a distance d_0 was chosen that separated the three strains shown to be different than N2 at ΔT = 9.1°C using hierarchical clustering and ANOVA.
