The basic assumption is based on the statistics that the compressive modulus is a fraction lower than the tensile modulus.
Had Michael Timlin's 30-yard drive dipped a fraction lower instead of thudding against the crossbar, who knows how the contest might have panned out?
At a higher solidification fraction, lower concavity of the crystal melt interface near the crucible wall can be obtained as compared to the standard model.
The experimental results show that nanolubricant refrigerant mixture degrades by 28 77% after 20 alternation times under present experimental conditions; besides, the degradation in long-term period can be reduced at conditions of higher lubricant mass fraction, lower nanoparticle mass fraction, lower heating temperature, or lower cooling temperature.
Bamboo was characterized as having a high green vegetation (GV) fraction, lower non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) and a low shade fraction, while pine exhibited higher NPV and shade fractions.
But today's report, which only covers emissions from energy, by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European commission's Joint Research Centre JRCC) show that per capita emissions in China increased by 9% in 2011 to reach 7.2 tonnes per person, only a fraction lower than the EU average of 7.5 tonnes.
Dementieva, a worthy Olympic champion but still not widely known, might well be thinking how much more famous she would now be had she just managed to roll the ball just a fraction lower with her cross-court attempted pass or perhaps tried to change the direction.

Germany's manufacturing PMI was barely higher than the previous month and France's was a fraction lower.
Multivariable models identified older age, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, lower or higher body mass index, cerebrovascular disease, lack of internal mammary artery use, and lower cholesterol to be associated with increased risk of both events.
