In general, "fire-resistance rating" is defined as the period of time in which the integrity of a member subjected to fire is maintained to resist applied loads (König 2005; Kodur and Dwaikat 2007).
Hydrodynamic calculations and oxygen reduction measurements confirm that even at the fastest rotation speeds used in this type of measurement (i.e., 1600 rpm), the laminar flow regime (Re ≈ 56) is maintained, allowing one to apply classical RDE analysis.
The Act, which entitles parents at least 60 years old and unable to maintain themselves adequately to apply to a tribunal for their children to be ordered to pay maintenance to them, was the first public law that originated from a private member's bill since Singapore's independence in 1965.

It is shown that recently developed analytical models, applied on different kinds of textile composites, could yield good results, while maintaining more flexibility, easy to apply and the less time consuming in comparing with numerical FE (Finite Element) models.
This is a thermoplastic polyurethane with an integrated elastomer that the firm maintains which is able to apply continuous light forces to the teeth and whose greater elasticity should guarantee greater predictability in terms of orthodontic movements [8 12].
If a magnetic fluid can be incorporated into a polymer in a stable manner while fluidity is maintained, it will be possible to apply these materials as magnetic-field-induced deformation materials.
That also applies, he maintains, to some 300,000 of them who are not recognised as Jewish under Israeli law.
We controlled the depth of nail insertion and inserted a maximum of four screws including two units of the "condyle screw and condyle nut" to apply and maintain suitable compression between the fragments.
