Some 86% of Fortune 500 firms now ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, up from 61% in 2002.
The crack propagation was predominantly intergranular for longitudinal orientation up to 600 °C, whereas transgranular cleavage was observed at low test temperatures for radial and circumferentially oriented specimens.
XRD analysis of the thin films, with varying Si content revealed the (111) orientation up to 15.6 at.% Si content and thereafter the film become amorphous.
Shearing the gel produced a rapid drop in the dynamic shear moduli and a slower increase in orientation; up to a second rank orientation parameter of P2 = 0.26 for the highest concentration (38 wt%) diblock gel.
The students reported employing three strategies to avoid harassment: covering, in which they might be out to their peers but never bring their sexual orientation up in conversation; passing/compartmentalizing, where they pose as heterosexual and keep their work and social lives separate; and overachieving, where they amass so much knowledge and expertise that they make themselves indispensable.
Target stimulus orientation (up, down, left) was also presented randomly, but with equal probability.
The distinctions are made on basis of the relative position of the active site elements (switch 1 and switch 2 closed or open; Figure 6(b)), the lever arm orientation (up or down), and the conformation of the actin-binding cleft (open, closed, or partially closed).
The sensitivity of the technique is dictated by the time and route taken for excited nuclei to dissipate their excess energy and revert to low-energy orientations, lined up with the applied magnetic field.
Harris and Dux [18], [19] found repetition blindness for repeated objects that differed in orientation by up to 180°, consistent with the proposal that initial type activation is orientation-invariant.
They were understandably concerned that if evidence of their sexual orientation came up in papers filed in their divorce case, that might be considered "telling" their sexual orientation, breaking the invisibility law -- and they'd lose their jobs and their ability to support their children as the perverse consequence of trying to maintain contact with them.
