Further, when CAFs are grown on low stiffness gels (500 Pa, slightly above normal mouse mammary tissue stiffness) they do not form stress fibers or large focal adhesions and have only modest levels of nuclear YAP.
At ambient temperature, an interconnected architecture offers only a modest increase in stiffness and strength over a discontinuous architecture of equal volume fraction.
Most of these machines have serial mechanisms so that modest static and dynamic stiffness become very critical design issues when high speed machining capability is required.
The fact that growth rate was shown to have only a modest impact on density and stiffness (Harris 1978) led to the recommendation that Douglas-fir should be grown as rapidly as possible on a short rotation, subject to maintaining a small branch index and an average wood density above 400 kg m−3.
The passive, late diastolic phase, the filling phase, was less compromised during hypothermia as indicated by a modest increase in EDPVR, or stiffness, in the present experiment.
Investigation of the impact of plasma TAG indicates that a modest negative correlation between diastolic stiffness and plasma TAG, associating increased plasma lipid levels with decreased cardiac mechanical performance.
The authors reported a significant reduction in axial stiffness, along with a modest reduction in axial strength and increase in torsional and bending strength.
He has magic dust, which comes from being a self-made guy from a modest Australian background who has this physical stiffness yet is very comfortable".
The largest effect was found in measures of sleep quality, with more modest changes in tender point measures and stiffness.
Importantly, it should be noted that the effects of pharmacologic agents on stiffness are usually slight or modest, but not substantial.
