In order to take into account the influence of bond-slip, the proposed numerical model suggests using the equivalent bending stiffness ( EI_{eq} ) within the plastic hinge length, upon the assumption that a large portion of the bond-slip will be concentrated, due to the anchorage slip, within the plastic hinge length where the yielding of reinforcing steel is subjected.
It appears that most of the reduction in effectiveness due to treatment delay is simply due to the fact that a proportion of an infected individual's infective duration goes untreated, and that this period, just after symptom appearance, is when many transmission events are concentrated, due to this being a period of high infectivity.
The pollutant combinations dominating these poorer air quality days suggest that pollution released at ground level (mobile sources) was concentrated due to poorer mixing meteorological conditions and potential inversions (i.e., high barometric pressure, low wind speed, and low humidity).
When the urine is concentrated, often due to lack of water or dehydration or not being able to completely empty the bladder, the color of urine can vary from dark amber to brown depending on the types of waste and minerals it contains.
Under many conditions, the deformation is concentrated in narrow bands due to shear localisation from adiabatic heating.
We focussed on sub-nuclear localization of the MeCP2 variants, as about half of all 5-methylcytosine in the mouse genome is concentrated in pericentromeric foci due to the abundance and CG richness of mouse satellite DNA sequences.
Depending on the intensity of commercial wood cutting practices tree removal of A. erioloba led to a strong decline of the G. flava population, as shrub recruitment is concentrated in tree sub-canopies due to bird-mediated seed dispersal.
Most of the rain is concentrated in the winter months, due to the Azores High which influences the subsidence of the air resulting in very dry air during the summer.
Essentially, the work on Pseudomonad phages is concentrated on P. aeruginosa phages due to the clinical relevance of this strain, which is an opportunistic pathogen affecting mainly immunocompromised people and those suffering from cystic fibroses.
