Combined with the limitations on the maximum allowable eccentricity ratio (e = M/ N < 2 B/3), this overstrength requirement leads to the conventional foundation being significantly larger (B = 7.5 m) than the rocking-isolated one (B = 4 m).
The maximum allowable aspect ratio of the available photolithography equipment (1.5 1.0, width:depth) limited the minimum achievable bar size but is not a hard limit: with better equipment one can fabricate PDMS structures with larger ratios (> 5 1) using the same process [ 10].
The proposed method explicitly deals with the important constraints in the inventory loop, such as the maximum allowable rate of change in the manipulated variable, the maximum allowable decay ratio and damping coefficient in the output response, as well as minimizing the optimal control specification.
Moreover, although 75 mm, or 3.125 %, the inter-story drift ratio was the maximum amplitude of the actuator and was considered to be adequate, since the maximum allowable story drift ratio specified by the Standard FEMA450 (2003) is 2.5 %.
Finally, using constructed fragility curves and statistical methods, the maximum allowable inter-story drift ratio and spectral displacement values that satisfy the "immediate occupancy" and "collapse prevention" performance level requirements were estimated.
Within the maximum allowable limit, higher axial load ratio can result in increased lateral load capacity and stiffness.
The glitch could mean that insurers could charge all smokers the maximum allowable surcharge to get around the ratio problem, which would end up penalizing younger smokers with higher penalties than they might otherwise have received.
Transcription factor-binding sites in conserved sequences were predicted using TESS [ 48], using the core positions of TRANSFAC strings with the maximum allowable string mismatch 10%, minimum log-likelihood ratio score 12, minimum string length 6 bp and organism classification vertebrata options.
The optimization analysis is performed under the constraint that the maximum pressure and temperature inside the cylinder do not exceed the maximum allowable pressure and temperature of the conventional engine (constant compression ratio).The varying compression ratio is optimized with each of the previous conditions separately.
The maximum allowable transmit power, the channel estimate error ratios and the step size are the same as that given in Fig. 1.
