Considering the crack tortuosity and orientation, the effective crack width and effective crack density are proposed as correlated with the chloride diffusivity of cracked concrete.
"We found serious methodological problems in this area of research, such that only a few studies met the minimal standards for evaluating whether psychological treatments, such as efforts to change sexual orientation, are effective," the authors of the report wrote.
Leading medical organisations in the US and elsewhere say there is no proof that efforts to change sexual orientation are effective, and warn that such therapy can reinforce self-hatred, depression and self-harm.
We further used the model to investigate the relationships between particle orientation and effective transport properties of the sample.
The impacts of cooling velocity and grain orientation on effective diffusion coefficient of water vapor, D, in dried wood were investigated.
Langmuir Blodgett thin films and vesicle bilayers provide ideal configurations for precise delivery of the biological binding entity to the sensing interface, and for control of molecular orientation for effective biomolecular interaction.
In CN-PPE/LLDPE films, the polymer matrix orientation induces effective anisotropic arrangements of the π π staking interactions between luminescent guest aggregates, thereby generating a pronounced green blue dichroic emission.
A study of 150 new cancer patients by McQuellon and research team reported that their orientation was effective in reducing anxiety, distress and depressive symptoms and enhanced knowledge and satisfaction of care [ 10].
The implications of the different work orientations for effective maintenance are discussed.
To investigate the effect of fiber orientation on the effective elastic properties of short-fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites, the two-step mean-field homogenization procedures including the D-I/Reuss, M-T/Reuss, D-I/Reuss, M-T/Voigt and D-M/V-R models are introduced and the corresponding numerical implementations are detailed.
