In addition, Ou et al. (2011) investigated the compressive stress strain behavior of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) with a high reinforcing index, which was defined as the product of fiber volume fraction and fiber aspect ratio.
But across the euro zone, almost 5.5 million young people are unemployed — out of a total of 17 million jobless, a 15-year high — reinforcing concerns that the economic plight of the Continent is producing a "lost generation".
ZDA exhibited high reinforcing efficiency for the copolyesters.
The nanoclay has thereby shown high reinforcing potential if combined to standard mineral filler in bitumen mastics.
In addition, the sections with high reinforcing index, i.e., the RS7A series, showed a clear difference in the Δf ps values depending on the magnitude of the PPR.
Figures 8a and b show the analysis results of the RS1A sections with a low reinforcing index (ω = 0.1) and those of the RS7A sections with a high reinforcing index (ω = 0.4), in which each graph shows the flexural behaviors of a partial PSC member with the PPR 50% and a full PSC member with the PPR 100% with respect to Δf ps.
Another possibility that may explain the discrepancy between the apparent high reinforcing effects of tobacco in humans and the apparent weak reinforcing effects of nicotine in rodents is that nicotine may possess higher reinforcing effects in primates than in rodents and that these reinforcing effects have not been revealed by previous investigations in primates due to inappropriate conditions.
This hypothesis is supported by the limited efficacy of nicotine to induce significant conditioned place preferences (see [11] for a review) and is in opposition to the apparent high reinforcing effects of tobacco in human smokers.
In contrast, our monkey self-administration studies extended over periods of one to two years and this may have allowed time for monkeys to become tolerant to some aversive effects of nicotine, thus revealing nicotine's high reinforcing effects.
