(3) Bulk modulus (k) is the ratio of the confining pressure to the fractional reduction of volume in response to the applied hydrostatic pressure.
During compaction of these soils, inadequate distribution of particle sizes prevents reduction of volume of voids with infilling by smaller particles.
On the contrary, the other section of the sheet (apical) receives less supply of these elements, which causes a reduction of volume and deflation of glands.
The shrinkage limit is defined as the point at which further loss of moisture will not result in further reduction of volume.
Reduction of volume in 30 kg waste inoculated with consortium 2 followed a similar pattern, as was observed during 5 kg trials.
Results: In patients of both groups to the second stage of study determined a significant reduction of volume parameters of respiratory function (VC, FVC, FEV, FEV1, MEF, MVV etc).
In addition to being a low-cost, environment-friendly process, composting benefits also include reduction of volume, weight, moisture content, potential odor, and pathogens, as well as increasing potential nutrients of the waste (Scheutz et al. 2011).
In children with ADHD there is a general reduction of volume in certain brain structures, with a proportionally greater decrease in the volume in the left-sided prefrontal cortex.
If later glandular atrophy occurs, a marked reduction of volume with higher echogenicity may be found.
The condensation of chromatin is characterized by a reduction of volume due to a spatial organization into densely packed higher-order structures (8).
