Biomechanical test is the gold standard for assessment of bone strength, which is performed by exerting a load to the bone until it fractures [ 52].
This is a safety-critical part of the car, as it will be subject to huge pressures at 1,000mph (around 1.7 Bar/25 psi), which will exert a "bursting load" on the intake of around 29 tonnes.
As it was shown, the pre-sowing seed treatments with nonionic colloidal solutions of biogenic metal nanoparticles of Ag and Cu as well as the complex influence of nanoparticles and seedling infections exert a stress load on plants, displaying a dynamic pattern of the changes in the TBARS content similar to the one activated at pathogenesis, but to a different extent.
The gas exerts a pressure load on the airbag causing it to expand.
The effects of NusA are equivalent to exerting a hindering load of 19 ± 6 pN, which corresponds to an average energy barrier to forward translocation of 2.0 ± 0.4 kB T, a magnitude equivalent to that of the intrinsic translocation barrier of Pol II.
The formation of these apical stress fibers (ASFs) correlated with significant reduction in nuclear height and was found to exert an active compressive load on the nucleus via direct contact with mature focal adhesion sites.
The player was required to exert an isometric extension load at 50% of their recorded mean peak extension force for as long as possible.
