It was the original element considered for δ phase stabilization, but its tendency to react with the alpha particles and release neutrons reduces its usability for nuclear weapon pits.
The secondary region corresponds to load levels below 7.8 MPa, and presents much lower mechanical strength reduction rates, indicating a tendency to stabilization of the curve.
Exponential increases in density and taxonomic and functional richness during the decomposition process and a tendency towards stabilization at the end of the experiment are expected.
The melting and crystallization temperatures were found to decrease as the radiation dose increases, showing a tendency to stabilization at higher values.
The secondary region, the 11.4 MPa to 9.9 MPa interval, showed small mechanical strength reduction rates, indicating a tendency to stabilization of the curve at 9.9 MPa, reinforced by the fact that two of the five joints tested endured 2500 hours without failure before the test was interrupted.
However, this can be explained by the fact that they are found within the region with tendency towards stabilization of the model curve, where small load variations, in the order of the equipment's resolution, would have a strong influence on the lifespan of the joints.
A pattern was observed exhibiting a tendency toward stabilization and further maturation of microvascular networks in fibrin.
As to EQ-5D index (ranging from 0 to 1), there is a tendency of stabilization within the IG (pre: 0.77, post: 0.77), whereas the CG has to deal with a slight decline of health-related QoL (pre: 0.75, post: 0.71).
Results show that higher LECA particle diameters enhance yield strength, strain densification value and compression energy, although there is a tendency for property stabilization according to an exponential rise to maximum function.
A tendency towards hemodynamic stabilization was observed within the first 72 hours, with a mean arterial pressure of 70 ± 13 mmHg to 86 ± 14 mmHg, diuresis of 1188 ± 1119 ml to 1782 ± 1404 ml and lactate of 3.68 ± 2.38 mmol/l to 2.19 ± 1.58 mmol/L.
