Thus, it is capable of reflecting the subtle changes and the features of the microstructure percolation and the degree of hydration reaction throughout the early age hydration process.
The reflectance is shown to be a function of the metal carbide volume fraction and its degree of percolation, but not dependent on whether the nanocomposite microstructure is homogeneous or a self-organized multilayer.
Example applications have shown that with reliable field observation data, the solution can be used to determine the percolation rate to high degree of accuracy (e.g., to mm/year).
In particular, in order to compare different samples using a quantitative parameter, we modified a numerical algorithm previously used to determine the degree of percolation of NP populations [9, 10] by computing a 2-D percolation factor (PF).
We have found a regular increase in κ as the surfactant concentration is increased (in the Additional file 1: Figure S2), an effect indicating a shape transformation of the aggregates (from spheres to cylinders) and perhaps some degree of percolation.
Prior to the percolation threshold, the higher degree of dispersion increases the conductivity of the system by reducing the thickness of the polymer layers and consequently increases the probability of electron tunneling through the potential barrier.
The Joule heating method can be another way to control the percolation by tailoring the degree of sintering due to in-situ control of the heating current.
Therefore, several centrality indexes were evaluated: Betweenness, bottleneck, density of maximum neighborhood component (DMNC), node degree, edge percolation component (EPC), eccentricity, maximal clique centrality (MCC), maximum neighborhood component (MNC), radiality and stress [ 47].
In Edberg et al. (2012), the relative importance of the proteins (represented as nodes in a network) for a single chemical was modelled by the centrality measures: betweenness, node degree, edge percolation component and bottleneck betweenness.
The increase of the bacterial cell amount along with the other two concentrations could reduce the Ks of porous media, but their relative contributions varied to a large degree during different percolation stages.
