Reinforcing steel characteristics (including bar size, spacing, cover, and other details) can affect the extent of bridge deck cracking (Hadidi and Saadeghvaziri 2005) as well as crack widths and patterns (Soltani et al. 2013).
We expected that Ca enhanced the sorption extent of OC through the formation of bridging structures between Fe and OC.
In previous studies, the extent of bone bridging has been determined by radiographs in 2 planes.
Unlike pedigree information, the use of marker data allows capturing within-family differences and, to some extent, bridging the signal of genetic similarity detected by genetic markers, which might have been overlooked by pedigree information.
A large fraction of these filaments co-localize in clusters (∼2 clusters per chromosome in E. coli) that likely depend on H-NS bridging (Wang et al., 2011), although the extent and time-scale of bridging rearrangements is unknown.
The effects of corrosion damage could alter significantly the bridge behavior depending on the extent of deterioration on the bridge structure.
Yet, it is not known to which extent the bridging function of LPL accounts for internalization of non-cleavable C-retinyl ether.
The extent of damage to the bridge was not known.
Nearly two weeks after the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, engineers still do not know the full extent of damage to roads, bridges, rail lines and other infrastructure.
In general, SIE values of 2 3 typically correspond to general acid/base catalysis, while the extent of solvation of catalytic bridges ranges from 1.5 to 4. Previous studies of LOX isozymes attribute their observed SIE results to a solvent-dependent hydrogen transfer from multiple hydrogen bond rearrangements, presumably because of an enzymatic conformational change upon substrate binding.
