Instead he characterises offender groups as loose structures with little cohesion or formal hierarchy, a view shared with other researchers whose work addresses co-offending and/or criminal networks (e.g. McGuire 2012; McGloin and Nguyen 2011; McGloin et al. 2008).
The investigated object is a pneumatic pulsator system which utilizes energy of compressed air for destruction of agglutinations, which come from cohesion forces, in loose materials and make the outlets of silos unobstructed.
It's a useful precedent for Mr. Shorter's current band, which derives much of its dynamism from rhythm-section cohesion within the loosest possible framework.
These test results show that: the cohesive bank soils are relatively loose due to the high water contents of 28.5 40.0% and the low dry densities of 1.31 1.47 tonnes/m3; and the cohesion or angle of internal friction generally decreases with an increase in water content of the cohesive soil.
This objection might be mitigated by arguing that individuality is itself a matter of degree and that states are at best "loose" individuals (Della Rocca 1996, Ch. 2), with limited cohesion or regularity of action.
As a period of loose credit gives way to an era of austerity, the social cohesion of many nations will be put to the test.
It concluded that the two major parties were "probably the most archaic institutions in the United States" — scarcely more than "loose associations of state and local organizations, with very little national machinery and very little national cohesion".
It found that "historical and other factors have caused the American two-party system to operate as two loose associations of state and local organizations with very little national machinery and very little national cohesion".
Among the agent society, a very loose coupling is targeted (e.g., to allow their distribution to different devices), while within a single agent a high cohesion is sought which indicates that the related functionalities have been grouped (e.g., beneficial for the data flow in the system).
Tests on loose mixtures, destructive mechanical tests on asphalt concrete, nondestructive mechanical tests on asphalt concrete, mechanical tests which provide a measure of cohesion in asphalt and adhesion between asphalt and aggregate, non-mechanical tests which provide a measure of cohesion and adhesion based on surface energy theories, and non-destructive non-mechanical tests.
