Von Mises stress is a scalar function of the principle stresses at each element and provides a good predictor of failure due to ductile fracture [9].
Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is an important index to indicate the integrity and function of mitochondria.The principle of measurement for MPT is to observe the change of absorbance at 540 nm (OD540), due to the swelling of mitochondria by the disturbance of permeability transition of mitochondrial membrane when MPT increase.
"The reason why actions are in a peculiar way revelatory of moral principles is that the function of moral principles is to guide conduct," Hare continues in the passage quoted earlier (Hare 1952, p. 1).
