The rigid appearance of the tapering rachis, the imbricate pinnae that appear to have resisted compression, and the reinforced pinnule margins imply thick evergreen leaves, perhaps adapted for drought tolerance.
A few weeks later Luxembourg, the chief beneficiary of EU funds in per capita terms, approved the constitution by a surprisingly narrow margin (56.5 43.5%), which reinforced the impression that support for the treaty was fading.
The lower port gussets were reinforced to keep a sufficient margin under the increased VV load conditions.
By exploiting the response-spectrum-based procedure for predicting the response envelopes in linear structures formulated by Menun and Der Kiureghian (2000a), algorithms are developed for the seismic margin assessment of reinforced concrete shell finite elements.
Olli Rehn, the European commissioner for economic affairs, told The Financial Times on Tuesday that banks' capital positions "must be reinforced to provide additional safety margins and thus reduce uncertainty".
In this study, a framework is proposed to evaluate the change of the safety margins in design equations of reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members under radiation environments.
During Jesus' time, the system exploited the most vulnerable and reinforced a narrative that dehumanized those on the margins.
Fragility analyses are conducted in this study to evaluate the relative seismic safety margins of seismic code-designed multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with varying input motion intensity, ductility level and configuration.
The bus structure reinforced by the composite roll bar was able to secure a substantial margin of the survival zone as well as to meet the requirement specified by ECE R66.
As we discussed before, the deloaded margin can reinforce the VSWT's overall inertial response and enable primary frequency regulation by quickly delivering additional active power through power converter control [32, 64].
