Despite these advances, cell mechanical integrity has always been an issue, as the long, high-aspect-ratio micro-tubes are extremely fragile against application of a longitudinal force, which results in practical difficulties for single-cell handling and stack assembly.
Because stretch-induced fluidization is virtually instantaneous, it would appear not to be mediated by signaling events, but rather to represent the immediate response of a fragile material to application of physical forces.
Semiconductor-based strain gauges offer high sensitivity (gauge factor (GF) of 100 170) [7] but are quite rigid and too fragile for dynamic applications.
While years of research remain, Bear theorizes those types of drugs might have application beyond fragile X and into autism in general.
Hyperspectral imagery was approved to its application to fragile paintings, without damage and could be applied on many Cultural Heritage objects for imagery and identification of materials.
In the context of a fragile health system, the application of these protocols may be expected to prove to be difficult to undertake and the impact may also be expected to vary [2].
But stripped of the alarmist rhetoric, consumers might actually see that what's at stake has little or nothing to do with almost completely uncontroversial neutrality principles, and everything to do with preserving the legally fragile and economically disastrous application of public utility regulation to ISPs.
Consequently, the mapping obtained by XRF and the HSI are very complementary and present all the criteria of choice for applications on fragile works of the cultural heritage.
They trapped hydrophobic hexanal molecules (derived from plant waste) in a hydrophilic membrane so that they could be suspended in liquid for application to the fragile fruit.
Many people avoid the latter type, as they are often expensive, fragile, and limited in their applications.
As shown in Fig. 14, the EERs for both systems and for the database were approximately the same before and after application of semi-fragile digital speech watermarking, i.e., the performance of the speaker recognition systems again decreased only slightly with semi-fragile digital speech watermarking.
