Two steps of optimization were applied to obtain the best design variables of different specimens and the optimal DIC processing parameters.
Excess volume resection was defined as a calculated resection ratio (CRR) and calculated by dividing the volume of each specimen by the optimal resection volume, which is the spherical tumor volume plus an arbitrarily chosen, surgically feasible, tumor-free resection margin of 1 cm.
Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs were not identified from tumor adjacent normal tissues vs. tumor tissues but were identified only when tumor tissues were compared with reduction mammoplasty specimens, further suggesting that reduction mammoplasty specimens may be the optimal baseline tissue [ 30].
In addition, the strength and freeze thaw resistance of specimens produced using the optimal mixing ratio were evaluated.
This study analyzed the characteristics of biomass fly ash, which was then used to manufacture specimens and obtain the optimal fly-ash dosage for the concrete.
Part of the fine aggregate was replaced with waste tire rubber powder that had been passed through sieves at volume ratios of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%, respectively, to produce cylinder specimens and obtain the optimal replacement value.
Prior to MRA and CTA of selected specimens, we defined the optimal concentration of contrast agents.
In stage I of the experiments, using anatomic specimens, we determined the optimal implantation method for the sensors as well as the best access path for the sensors.
On a second stage the authors compared the biaxial fatigue crack propagation on the optimal specimens, with the behavior of notched specimens, using the stress intensity factors for mode I and mode II.
Very similar small crack propagation parameters were obtained for both specimens, although as the crack growths the stress intensity factor for the optimal specimen do not behave as expected.
