> -wrap-foot> Eye track data indicated no significant differences in spatial eye gaze pattern or in time spent looking at the videos (Supplementary material); baseline activation did not significantly differ between the groups during observation, empathy or experience, nor in the interaction of Group and Experiment (observation versus empathy) (Supplementary material).
Subjects then put ~5 cm of the end of a piece of Tygon flexible plastic tubing (Norton Performance Plastics, Akron, OH, USA; o.d., 5 mm) into their rectum, infused 500 mL of doubly distilled water, and emptied their colon and collected the voided solution/faecal material (baseline sample) in the collection bag provided to them.
Anxiety (primary outcome), distress, depression, dyadic adjustment, quality of life, illness or caregiving appraisal, self-efficacy and dyadic and individual coping will be assessed before receiving the study material (ie, baseline) and again at 3, 6 and 12 months postbaseline.
Materials: At baseline, three psychosocial measures were used: GPRI Candidate Scale from Phase I. To facilitate scoring of the scale by genetic providers, scores for response to each item on the GPRI were imbedded in the questionnaire, where clinicians could calculate a total score in less than 5 min.
Numerical experiments were performed both on this synthesized material and a baseline homogeneous material with the same filler volume fraction.
HSLA340Y GI samples were used as the baseline material for comparison.
It was shown that the fatigue behavior of the steel subjected to LACR is statistically unchanged from those of the baseline material.
Under the most aggressive annealing conditions, the inter-laminar toughness increased by more than 2700% over the non-annealed baseline material.
The FCGR resistance of LSP processed samples tested at low stress ratios (R) is likewise shown to be significantly greater than for unprocessed, baseline material and is due to the large residual compressive stresses, which reduce the locally applied stress.
While crack initiation behavior of smooth (Kt=1.0) LSP processed samples is similar to baseline material, a marked improvement is observed in the notched (Kt>1) fatigue strength of LSP processed samples over unprocessed samples.
