Imperfections can be manifested as a variety of features or processes, including insufficiently low permeability, preferential flowpaths such as fractures and faults, and the propensity for capillary breakthrough.
A criminal's sentence should turn on his moral fault, not his uncertain propensity for violence.
The propensity for stable stacking fault formation and the maximum grain size DSF below which a stacking fault is stable are found to scale inversely with the normalized intrinsic stacking fault energy, γI/μb, where μ is the shear modulus and b is the value of the Burgers vector.
In this paper, we determine whether the refactoring process reaps future maintenance benefits and, as a consequence, results in software with a lower propensity for both faults and change.
This poor-quality and often scarce food combined with uncontrolled inbreeding created a propensity for conformation faults in the Chincoteague before outside blood was added beginning in the early 20th century.
In Washington, there is a propensity to find bipartisan fault in most conflicts.
In addition to controlling the dislocation substructure in coarse grained materials, stacking fault energy (SFE) also affects the propensity to form deformation twins.
Just a few days before the award was announced, in fact, The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page story in which critics faulted Ho for what the Journal called his "propensity for publicity".
Through some fault in design and in rigging, the right wing now had the discomforting propensity to slip downwards and at a dangerous angle.
