By invoking the indentation deformation characteristics of shape memory polymers for a range of indenter geometries and temperatures, it is demonstrated that the extent of shape recovery is strongly dependent on temperature, microstructural state and constraint loads.
We inspected the length of the ontogenetic vector to quantify the extent of shape change during ontogeny.
Three-dimensional surface rendering reveals the full extent of shape differences between control and tsh knockdown SCs (Fig. 5E,F).
Although mandible shapes in natural populations can be influenced by environmental variables, these influences are insufficient to explain the average extent of shape differences between populations, such that evolutionary processes must be invoked to explain this level of diversity.
The results have indicated that in the surface layer, the temperature and dissolved oxygen are the predominant drivers, whereas salinity contributes to a lesser extent to shaping the structure of microbial communities [2].
Finally, we assume that in each country the reward structure and the extent of social protection shaping work and innovation incentives are determined by (forward-looking) national social planners.
Indeed, if the advanced RNA life did have widely used amino acids (for example as cofactors of ribozymes [ 9- 11]), then it seems reasonable to assume that to some extent the earliest shaping of the genetic code in general, and the order of entering of amino acids into coding in particular, could recapitulate their biosynthetic pathways.
The extent of vane shapes on the interaction effect in a system of vanes was also investigated.
Fruit grades are mostly related to size, appearance, extent of defects, shape, and color of the fruit.
A quantitative description of some known and some new properties of planar foldable linkages, including the extent of foldability, shape-preservation of the interior polygons, multi-segmented assemblies and heterogeneous circumferential arrangements, is also presented.
