Using the threshold probability (p t h ), the performance of BVSA was evaluated for a range of p t h values, starting from p t h = 0, gradually incremented by 0.01, up to a maximum value of p t h = 1.
Some records produce gradually increments of the displacement demands with the PGA increases and others, like the Kocaeli seismic record, increases suddenly the displacements after a PGA value (0.4 g).
But the captain figured that it would be better to adjust the clocks gradually, by increments of an hour, than to move them ahead eight hours when we finally reached the Bering Strait.
Each following injections gave a gradually decreasing increment of the sensor response, and four consecutive injections of gelatin were necessary to get the saturation of the sensor response (~0.33 angular degrees) (Fig. 2, green).
The surviving population was exposed to the concentration of HCPT gradually with increment of 0.02 μg ml−1 (6 months), 0.1 μg ml−1 (6 months), and finally to the concentration of 2.4 μg ml−1.
We gradually increased the number of samples compared from each condition (starting with 10 samples and incrementing by 5 each time) until the mean similarity and accuracy scores no longer changed.
Gradually, by hourly increments, normalcy seemed to be returning — such as normalcy is in a politically polarized capital city.
Results showed that, the permanent deflections of the front face and back face increased gradually, while the increments decreased until the crack occurred on the front face sheet.
The hardness of TiN(C) coatings first increased to 32 GPa at the C target current of 1 A, and then decreased gradually with further increment in the C target current.
The Ec was found to show the minimum at around m = 4 6 and increased gradually with an increment of m and approached the crystallite modulus of polyethylene, 235 GPa (X-ray value) ∼ 316 GPa (calculate) at an infinite m value.
