Specific flexural strengthening concepts reviewed include strengthening limits, environmental reduction factors, strain limits, strength reduction factors, serviceability, creep rupture and fatigue limits, end peeling and development length, and the flexural analysis and design procedure.
Recommendations: Recommendations were divided in 6 groups: - improve the work with Local Articulation Groups; - clarify and strengthen concepts and methodology; - continue to and strengthen the focus on vulnerable territories; - strengthen UNICEF's role and presence in the implementation of the initiative; - improve communication strategy and processes; - strengthen partnerships.

We decidedly discussed three examples (PEP, trehalose and proline) where there is substantial evidence in the scientific literature for their importance for stress adjustment thus strengthening our concept.
Thus, the identification of polymorphisms in the Avp gene promoter explains gene expression differences in association with the observed phenotype, thus further strengthening the concept of the critical involvement of centrally released AVP in trait anxiety.
Likewise, V1a autoradiography failed to reveal any difference between the HAB and LAB lines in a variety of brain regions critically involved in the regulation of anxiety- and depression-related behaviors, thus further strengthening the concept that events upstream of the receptor contribute to the behavioral phenotype of HAB and LAB mice (Table 3).
