In order to reduce specimen non-uniform deformation and strain localization at large strains (Rowe and Barden 1964; Bishop and Green 1965; Colliat-Dangus et al. 1988), cylindrical specimens of 38, 50, and 70 mm diameters were prepared with equal height and diameter (H/D = 1) and the end restraints were nearly eliminated by employing enlarged and lubricated end platens.
We later assessed the validated procedures could be combined into a one-step RT-PCR to reduce specimen handling (not shown).
Synoptic reporting provides a structured method for entering the diagnostic as well as prognostic information for a particular pathology specimen or sample, thereby reducing transcription services and reducing specimen turnaround time.
In conclusion, synoptic reporting provides a structured way of entering the diagnostic as well as prognostic information for a particular pathology specimen or sample, thereby reducing transcription services and reducing specimen turnaround time.
It offers an "online diagnosis worksheet" that is easily learned and deployed, and may encourage some pathologists to enter the diagnostic information themselves, thereby reducing transcription services and reducing specimen turnaround time [ 3, 4, 7, 8].
20, 39, 40 Studies have reported that patients with moderate or poor surgical cosmetic outcome (a few months after surgery) have an increased risk of developing breast shrinkage or induration in the long-term, and thereby underline the importance of reducing specimen volumes.
Based on the test results, the strength, stiffness, ductility factor and energy absorption characteristics of the specimens were substantially reduced in specimens with openings.
Figure 12a shows that both the strength and stiffness is reduced for specimen exposed to a temperature of 300 °C.
The work included conception, computer modeling, laboratory load tests of a reduced size specimen, field construction of a pilot bridge and field load testing.
Experimental studies were carried out on reduced scaled specimen such as beams and beam-column assemblies prepared with different design and detailing to observe the behavior under progressive collapse scenario.
