Previous researchers focused on the properties of the dump materials to ascertain the stability of the tailings.
Examples of quiz and exam questions can be seen in Supplemental Material A. To ascertain students' motivation, interest, and approaches to studying and learning genetics, we administered three online surveys at the beginning (beginning-survey), middle (midsurvey), and end (end-survey) of the semester.
Thus, we investigated trends in the incidence of hip fracture, focusing on separate age groups in a population-based material in order to ascertain whether there might be age-specific changes in hip fracture incidence.
We developed a summary index for plastic material contact (SIP) to ascertain if the subject came into contact with plastic tableware (0/1), water or tea in polyethylene terephthalate bottles (0/1) and food packaging (0/1).
Behind the mesh, four different materials were placed to ascertain whether the firebrands that were able to penetrate the building mesh assembly could ignite these materials.
The strength and durability of the geopolymer stabilized C&D materials were evaluated to ascertain their application in pavement bases/subbases.
All available materials were scrutinized to ascertain individuals in whom the historic fulfilment of the ACR 1987 criteria could be documented (classification) [ 21], and in the present study this was used as the primary standard reference.
The combined use of different techniques applied on different aliquots of the same sample, and the complementary interpretation of the results obtained, allowed us to establish the build-up of each sample, the materials used and, thus, to ascertain the painting technique of Josep Maria Sert in his paintings in the city of Vic and to appreciate his technical evolution.
During the design development of such machinery and materials it is advantageous to ascertain the stress load-sharing between the added particles and the binding matrix, in order to make estimates of the device's useful life and the material performance.
