The SWINE simulator engine takes into account the mobility model of each node to compute its successive positions, and then the propagation conditions to compute the successive received signal strength (RSS) samples using a combination of different radio propagation models on different scales (e.g., path-loss exponent with log-normal shadowing, Rice or Rayleigh fading).
Overall material degradation was determined by measuring the strength degradation of samples using the standard laboratory procedure.
We investigated the effects of model size and particle size on the simulated macroscopic mechanical properties, uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, and flexural strength of sea-ice samples, using the discrete-element method (DEM) with a bonded-particle model.
Biaxial strength distributions were determined in all samples using the ball-on-three-balls (B3B) method on disc-shaped specimens.
This design not only avoids the contamination of the sheath element on the ceramic core but also is comparable in the deformation and mechanical strength aspects with that of the samples using AgCu3 as the inner and outer sheath.
Signal intensity data for the genes with significant variation in the species pairs were used to produce a heat map (representing the strength of hybridization signal in different samples) using the Qlucore Omics Explorer.
After filtration with 0.45 μm disposable polysulfone filters, a modified ion chromatography procedure for low ionic strength samples was used for the analysis of and [38].
A constant ionic strength of 100 mM was maintained in all samples using NaCl.
As samples naturally weathered in the field usually undergo alterations in porosity, liquid water transport properties and mechanical strength, all the samples used in this study were artificially weathered by heating prior to consolidants application.
The aim of the study was to compare the mental health of Norwegian-born children of Vietnamese refugees with that of a Norwegian community sample, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).
