Sentence examples for in a structural capacity from inspiring English sources

We speculate that sir2N247A may serve in a structural capacity that is sufficient to nucleate low-level silencing at centromeres.

Interestingly, two enzymes of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, MMP-9 and MMP-7, were previously shown to complex with the ectodomain of CD44 on the surface of malignant cells, suggesting that CD44 acts in a structural capacity to concentrate protease activity on the surface of actively invading cells [ 11, 12].

Four scenarios are compared: a) structural capacity deteriorates over a time interval, while structural demand remains constant, b) only structural demand (for a given intensity) varies in time, c) both structural capacity and structural demand vary simultaneously in time, and d) the effect of structural deterioration is neglected.

The results show that retrofitting a structure with pre-stressed steel cables and an increase of crack resistance in the concrete near joints can effectively improve effective tying of a structure, which results in an enhanced structural capacity in preventing progressive collapse.

Granular materials have a major function in the structural capacity of a highway pavement.

Progressive collapse of building structures typically occurs when an abnormal loading condition causes a sudden loss in the structural capacity of one or more critical members, which leads to a chain reaction of failure and ultimately catastrophic collapse.

The degree of deterioration in the structural capacity of a pavement is an important indicator of its performance.

From the test results, steam curing significantly contributes to the improvement of the microstructures of the cement matrix as well as elimination of the interlayer delamination, therefore resulting in the structural capacity enhancement of the printed structures.

The suggestion that higher-order SAS-5 assemblies may be needed for a function other than localization would imply that this protein is not a simple transporter of SAS-6, but that it acts in an additional, more structural, capacity, as has been suggested elsewhere (Qiao et al., 2012; Lettman et al., 2013).

For the buildings and the high-seismicity site used in this study, both the increased post-mainshock seismic hazard as well as the reduction in the structural capacity are found to have a great influence on the seismic risk.

Three scenarios are considered: (1) structural demand (for a given intensity) varies in time, while structural capacity remains constant, (2) structural capacity deteriorates over a time interval, while structural demand remains constant, (3) both structural capacity and structural demand vary simultaneously over time.
