The higher Co release from the N implanted specimens is attributed to the nature of the implanted layer phases as well as to the rougher surfaces associated with the N implanted specimens compared to the relatively smooth surface of the untreated material.
This divergence between measured water uptake and chloride permeability in alkali-activated specimens is attributed largely due to the specified standard preconditioning (drying) of the samples prior to water absorption testing due to the difference in water environments as a function of slag/fly ash ratio.
Differences in peracarid abundance among the ascidian specimens were attributed to the reproductive and dispersal habits of the former.
On the other hand, the lower scuffing resistance of the as-austempered specimens was attributed to plastic flow and micro-fracture of the asperities.
Furthermore, deviations in the rheological behavior of different test specimens were attributed to the stress sensitive crystalline network structure of the wax additive.
The existence of copper on the surface of SM-BM specimens was attributed to both the presence of copper containing pigments and the OSP-copper complex layer [21] (see Fig. 1), sourcing from the passivation step within the PCB manufacturing process, which generates a basic copper level in both configurations on the surface.
Deviations from the Halpin Tsai/Tsai Pagano micromechanical model for composite stiffness in the silane and MA compatibilized specimens are attributed to the inability of the model both to incorporate improved dispersion and wettability due to fiber matrix modifications and to account for changes in neat PHBV and MA-grafted PHBV polymer morphology induced by the OWF.
The specimens were attributed to two groups, according to their multiplication score: 0 1 point, MLH1/MSH2 negative; ⩾2 points, MLH1/MSH2 positive.
The specimens were attributed to two groups, according to their overall score: 0 1 point, ERCC1 negative; ⩾2 points, ERCC1 positive.
Then all the specimens were attributed to three groups: "low", both nuclei and cytoplasm were scored as 0; "moderate", either nuclei or cytoplasm was scored as 1; "high", both nuclei and cytoplasm were scored as 1.
