"The changes are about supporting the long-term strength and sustainability of the FT and building a consistent plan for all employees.
Ms. Pretto, the Citigroup spokeswoman, said the "purchases reflect their belief in the long-term strength and growth opportunities of the company".
But the long-term strength and reliability of adhesives has not been proved, so most people who work in glass think an all-glued structure is a long way off.
As Iraqi government forces battle Isis for control of the country's largest oil refinery at Baiji and the city of Ramadi, doubts are being raised about the national army's long-term strength and cohesion.
In cold climates, the freeze-thaw cycle (FTC) has a great influence on long-term strength and stability of soil, which are important considerations for frozen soil engineering.
The workability (flowability and bleeding rate) of fresh mixture and the mechanical properties (early strength, long-term strength and dynamic elastic modulus) of hardened material were tested.
High early-strength concrete shows a deteriorated long-term strength and durability because of the rapid formation of hydrates (Thamas et al. 2015; Hansen 1987; Han 1991; Bazant and Baweja 1996).
For long-term strength and toughness and high stress resistance, steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is increasingly being used in structures such as flooring, housing, precast tunneling, heavy duty pavement, and mining (Yao et al. 2003).
More recently, researchers have mainly focused on the possibility of practical use of pozzolans (Slag, POFA, FA, SF, MK and RHA) as a partial replacement of cement in quest for improved long-term strength and durability properties.
The HA/PLGA filler is envisioned to increase initial RVC foam mechanical stability while enabling osteoblasts to invade and deposit new tissue within the foam as the filler resorbs, providing long-term strength and osseointegration.
