Transitions between the three regimes are determined based on empirical quantities: the von Mises yield criterion is used to determine the initiation of mixed elastic plastic deformation, and Brinell's hardness for the onset of unconstrained flow.
The internal and wall friction coefficients are important in determining the initiation of particle movement, while the value of the restitution coefficient has a larger influence on particles in a dynamic state.
It was shown that the dominant form of destruction in the quasi-orthotropic system are matrix cracks coupled with the presence of extensive delamination while in quasi-isotropic systems more concentrated damage was noticed, in which the cracking/rapture of fibers localized in the column's corners determined the initiation of the failure mechanism and the carrying capacity loss.
Two additional changes were noted in the visual appearance of the culture fluid concomitant to initiation of dispersal, either after glucose depletion (Figure 1) or during oxygen-limited growth (Figure 6B), and could reliably be used to visually determine the initiation of dispersal (cf. arrows in Figure 6B).
Beckman's descriptive case review [ 27] and Um's case study [ 31] suggest that other factors, such as the quality of the doctor-patient relationship, the consideration and respect for patient preferences, poor communication and patients' involvement (or lack of involvement) in the care and decision-making processes, influence, or may even determine, the initiation of malpractice claims.
The rupture front velocity of 3.0 km/s was selected by trial and error, which determines the initiation time of the basis function at each subfault, that minimizes the residuals between the observed and predicted waveforms.
It is the coexistence of adverse environmental factors on the background of genetic susceptibility that determines the initiation and progression of hypertension.
To determine the initiation site of the coding sequence (CDS) of feline Tetherin/BST-2, 5'-RACE was performed with a Takara 5'-Full RACE Core Set according to the manufacturer's protocols (Takara), using total RNA extracted from IFN-treated CRFK, FL74, or QN10S cells as the template.
