Like most big Chinese insurers, Ping An had won new clients with investment products that guaranteed big returns over long periods based on the high interest rates banks offered for deposits during a time of inflation.
Nevertheless, the time since Mauna Loa's last eruption stands as its longest historic repose period, based on data in Decker et al. (1995).
On the other hand, our data strongly differ from two recent NICU long period-based reports describing a prevalent gram-positive etiology for BSI [ 33, 34].
In fact, the PE sheet surface thus treated has shown effective durability of wettability for a long period of time based on the water contact angle measurement.
This maximum was used to determine a long period of structure based on the dependence of Is = f s), where I is the intensity and s is the scattering vector [ 22].
It is shown that code-specified design lateral load patterns are more suitable for long period flexible-base structures; whereas a trapezoidal design lateral-load pattern can provide the best solution for short period flexible-base structures.
This marked the end of a constitutional continuity that had lasted for 68 years; it was also the end of a long period of economic expansion based on the export of raw materials.
We re-estimated the 3-D pore-fluid pressure field around Mt. Ontake from earthquake focal mechanism solutions for a long period of time (June 2009 to July 2014), based on the regional stress field with a high resolution of 2 5 km.
Altogether, the above results show that ABGCs form two functionally distinct populations during a long period of their maturation based on their different sensitivity to temporally organized inputs.
Because seismic wave propagation in deep sedimentary basins might be sensitive to variations of seismic velocity with depth in the sediment, the characteristics of long-period ground motions should be investigated based on realistic sedimentary structure models.
