It was noticed that, close to the tree's trunk, the additional cohesion due to the presence of the roots had a significant influence on the improvement of the slope's stability.
Finally, it was confirmed that regardless of test temperature, steel wool fibres did not have a relevant influence on the improvement of particle loss resistance, stiffness modulus and cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures.
Wool characteristics within the extruded composites, namely fibre length, orientation and fracture behaviour, were also investigated by image analysis to find out their influence on the improvement of mechanical properties.
Redecker et al. (2010) argue that Web 2.0 has a considerable influence on the improvement of motivation and engagement.
This lack of standardization in patient management is probably one of the major factors influencing patient outcome and, coincidentally, one of the only factors that we can influence for the improvement of patient care.
Further studies are needed to explore the influence of these improvements on the number of reported falls, patients' physical activity levels and quality of life.
Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to explore the influence of these improvements on the number of reported falls, patients' physical activity levels and quality of life.
Crash and injury severity were specifically investigated to isolate the influence of these improvements in vehicle design.
To test whether any trends in the achievement of management targets were influenced by the improvements in the recording of data, we restricted the analyses to 16 practices with a consistently high level of recording and low levels of missing values.
In this study, the influence of improvements of the floor quality and of increased ratios of straw in identical farrowing pens was measured.
We interpreted the relationship between the codes to identify distinctive elements of the interventions and factors that influenced success of the improvement process [ 21].
