This paper aims to identify through an in-depth literature review, quality defects which undermine the thermal performance of buildings by comparing the studies' findings with regard to defect characteristics and attributes; major causes and influencing factors; and their impact on the energy performance of construction projects.
In a deposition, a Washington Mutual employee said revealing loan defects would undermine the lucrative business, and that the bank would suffer "a couple-point hit in price".
The idea behind today's removals is not that no Indigenous Australian can be a good mother or father, but that many specific Indigenous Australians have defects that undermine their parenting.
It has two great defects: It undermines the race, and secondly it retards the progress of the country.
The problem may be compounded by the late detection and management of BD which often results from inadequate knowledge about the defects thereby undermining the health seeking behaviours of mothers after delivery [ 7].
Hypothetically, these mechanisms would together or independently lead to development of bone defects eventually resulting in aseptic loosening of the implant undermined by bone defects.
The wound edges were undermined and the defect was closed in three layers.
The wound edges were undermined and the defect was closed in three layers as described in the SBD group.
The difficulty to increase the absorption volume QDs, e.g., the number of QD layers, is that the accumulated strain generates various types of defects and largely undermines the improvement of photon absorption [22, 37].
When applied for impulsive feature demodulation of vibration signal of rolling element bearings, the integer-scale MM (ISMM) may lead to low resolution result and thus undermines its defect diagnosis capability.
However, such approaches lead to the presence of non-conducting agents on the graphene surface and the uncontrolled creation of defect sites that would undermine the electronic properties and alter the band structure of the pristine graphene [19, 20].
