These GFRP rebars can fulfill a dual role; reinforcing elements by virtue of their mechanical properties and long-term strain monitoring devices by virtue of the embedded sensors.
We will show that this set of solutions is, in fact, a directed set, and then we can conclude that it has the extremal elements by virtue of [9, Theorem 1.2].
This would open up the possibility to use phylogenetic footprinting (see below) to identify cis-regulatory promoter elements by virtue of their conservation.
The adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a family of enzymes that are key elements of signal transduction by virtue of their ability to convert ATP to cAMP.
Thus, our model lacks a broader societal perspective and integration of other important elements of trust such as virtue, goodwill or moral integrity[ 15].
