The test beams were assumed to be corroded at a low level (i.e., 0 5% average mass loss), a medium level (i.e., 5 10% average mass loss) and a high level (i.e., 10 20% average mass loss) and were subsequently strengthened with a single layer of a prestressed CFRP sheet.
An improved mass conserving level set method for detailed numerical simulations of liquid atomization is developed to address the issue of mass loss in the existing level set method.
Reduction in mass loss was at minimal levels and no significant behavior change was monitored between the specimens undergoing freeze thaw cycling in water and the aggressive sodium sulfate solution.
In dialysis patients, poor appetite is associated with fat mass loss and declining leptin levels [ 22].
The results indicate that for the same level of mass loss, degradation of the "embedded" samples was found to be much more severe than that of the "bare samples", in terms of losses in yield strength and uniform elongation.
After they were allowed to incubate in the protease XIV solution or to be subcutaneously implanted in rabbits, SF-NGCs and SF fibers were subjected to degradation level measurement, mass loss assessment and gel electrophoresis, or light and electron microscopy and mass loss assessment for testing the dynamic course of in vitro or in vivo degradation.
All scaffolds displayed some level of mass loss, but the mass of 0.5 h water annealed sponges showed the greatest decrease of 96.95 ± 0.77%.
It was found that, for all the corrosion morphologies, that the ultimate strain of the corroded steel reinforcement was reduced in an exponential manner with the corrosion degree up to a critical level (30% by mass loss), beyond which it then stayed stable.
That typically occurs in ice-sheet model simulations that involve more than about 2 m of sea-level-equivalent mass loss.
To describe associations between total and regional body fat mass loss and reduction of systemic levels of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) in obese, older adults with osteoarthritis (OA), undergoing intentional weight loss.
