Claire, meanwhile, has quietly developed a hardness of character in her attempts to protect Camille.
While non-reactive deposition processes resulted in the growth of nanocrystalline thin films of moderate hardness but brittle character, the reactive deposition led to the growth of nanocrystalline coatings with high hardness (up to 2500 HV0.05) and toughness.
But the hardness of her characters remains.
Still, hardness was part of their sensibility.
Ms. Cornish is a sympathetic presence, and she turns down her mouth a lot here, but her character's hardness is a thin coat of lacquer and it chips off fast.
With adding different mass fraction of nano-Fe3O4, mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus at 300% elongation, shore A hardness, surface microstructure, magnetic character and tribological properties such as friction and wear performance of the NBR/nano-Fe3O4 composites were investigated.
And that shows the character and hardness of the man.
On Tuesday evening, Flynn represented amateur boxing in microcosm - the essential hardness of it, the character, the guts.
To gain mechanistic insight, we have used parameters based on the hard and soft, acids and bases (HSAB) theory to profile the different aldehyde subclasses with respect to electronic character (softness, hardness), electrophilic reactivity (electrophilic index), and biological nucleophilic targets.
The HSAB parameters of softness and hardness describe the electronic character of a given toxicant, and as discussed in the next section, such descriptors can be used in conjunction with parameters of reactivity to determine electrophilic strength and hence toxic potency.
