The screening method focuses on model analysis of annular backflow while simultaneously considering a previously developed model for filament buckling and includes the introduction of a non-dimensional number (Flow Identification Number, or FIN) that predicts a material's propensity to backflow based on a rheological analysis and the system geometry.
Fourth, if a SRPI is suspected, closing the wound after ID with a suture material with low propensity to induce foreign-body reaction might lower the chance and the severity of possible recurrences.
Factors contributing to the role of Staphylococcus aureus as a public health problem include its affinity to foreign objects such as intravenous lines and prosthetic material, and its propensity to generate metastatic foci and complicated disease [ 3].
The functional groups on the oxidized CNTs can further react with SOCl and carbodiimide to yield functional materials with great propensity for reacting with other compounds [28, 29].
The class of amphiphilic materials with the propensity to form non-lamellar nanostructures includes monoglycerides, glycerate surfactants, glycolipids, phosphatidylethanolamines, and urea derivatives [7] [15].
Brönsted acid sites within ZSM-5 zeolites are held responsible for cracking and reforming reactions [50], explaining the propensity for materials with low Si Al ratios (high Brönsted acid densities) to favour aromatic products [45, 49].
The propensity of a material to fracture by means of continuous brittle cracking under repeated alternating or cyclic stresses of intensity fairly below the normal strength is known as fatigue failure [53].
In order to study the correlation between the SFE and the mechanical behavior of the TWIP steels, as manifested by the propensity of the material to deformation-induced phase transformations or twinning, tensile tests were performed at temperatures −50°CC ⩽ T ⩽ 80 °C using strain rates varying between 10−3 s−1 and 1250 s−1.
In lmna-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (lmna MEFs), the loss of lmna dramatically affects the micromechanical properties of the cytoplasm", since "Both the elasticity (stretchiness) and the viscosity (propensity of a material to flow) of the cytoplasm in Lmna MEFs are significantly reduced" [537].
