Mr. Gates's comments, made to troops at Combat Outpost Andar in eastern Afghanistan's Ghazni Province, demonstrated that while the secretary is to retire from his Pentagon post at the end of the month, he intends to remain a prominent advocate for the counterinsurgency strategy even as voices in the White House express doubts on sustaining the large commitment of troops and money.
We demonstrated that while the stacking number decreases with decreasing BCP concentration, the arrangement of the nanoribbons within one stack becomes less organized.
This demonstrated that, while the values of the calculated HFs changed sometimes quite a lot, the relative heterogeneity difference between the two tracers (i.e. AnxA5 more heterogeneous than [18F]FDG) held for all animals and all processing parameters tested.
It is demonstrated that while the far-field topological identity of a dislocation of appropriate strength and a disclination-dipole plus a slip dislocation comprising a disconnection are the same, the latter microstructure is energetically favorable.
The results demonstrated that while the addition of NPs did not affect the morphology of the scaffold, the system had a potential to be used as a controlled-release platform of model drugs to the bone once implanted.
CD and HSQC spectra demonstrated that while the double-CI2 protein adopted two kinds of native conformations, CI2-like structure was almost preserved in both the domains of double-CI2.
We also demonstrated that, while the terpene content of P. elisabethae increases in response to decreased UV/vis light, this is due primarily to an increase in the concentration of the dinoflagellate rather than simply an induction of terpene biosynthesis.
The work as a whole demonstrated that while the fresh diesel sample was consistently water-wet, the field diesel sample exhibited repeatable cycles of wettability reversal between water drainage and imbibition.
In this study, it is demonstrated that while the pre-colonial women of the Borana did not enjoy full position of status relative to men, colonialism reinforced the differences between the roles of men and women, contributing further to the waning of Borana women's pre-colonial roles and status.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that while the soil loss and the degree of enrichment were negatively correlated, there were differences in which soil surface properties had a significant effect in determining soil loss and the selectivity of both fine-grained and organic-rich soil particles and how these surface properties interacted.
It is also demonstrated that while the finite element method is utilized for analyzing slope stability, the critical slip lines based on the overloading definition might be for the most part shallower than those by the strength reserving definition and the conventional limit equilibrium methods, and hence the design based on the overloading definition might be precarious.
