The formation of elongated β-Si3N4 grains contributes to the favorable mechanical properties.
Moreover, the graphite nanodispersoids, which mostly locate at grain boundaries/faces, worsen the cohesion of SiC grains, contributing together with the higher mild-wear rate to an early transition to the severe-wear stage.
The variant selection occurring during the transformation of the retained beta appears to favour a common orientation with the surrounding primary alpha grains, contributing to the size of the macrozones and therefore to the extent of the observed faceted regions.
The sperm cells are the parental cells in a pollen grain, contributing DNA to the next generation.
Thus, an important risk factor relevant to Chinese society is the quality of dietary carbohydrate consumed as traditionally the Chinese diet consists of a variety of high-glycemic rice products as the staple grain, contributing as the primary source of caloric intake.
But many women, many grains, can contribute a lot, and those contributions can help the country.
Alternatively, it is possible that other components of foods rich in cereal fibre such as whole grains could contribute to the reduced risk of diabetes by as yet unidentified mechanisms.
The plots show that in case of the materials GDC0.2 and EuDC0.2 both the grain and the grain boundary contribute to the total conductivity of the materials, whereas in case of DyDC0.2 and HDC0.2, the presence of grain interior conductivity is only observed, even though the grain boundary conductivity is expected in the nanomaterials.
The results show that inertia and elongated grains both contribute to the rate hardening of the specimen.
The layer-structure of LaPO4 phase and its weak bond with Gd2Zr2O7 matrix could cause the initial increase in the toughness, and the growth of LaPO4 grains might contribute to the reduced toughness.
