Nevertheless, the frictional status of large-scale patches changes the slip rate on the small patches, such that the background strengthening process weakens the peaks in slip rate peaks on the small patches.
The full knowledge of all the components (structural and non-structural elements) is fundamental to help and guide the designers during the assessment and strengthening process of existing buildings with the main goal of reducing their seismic vulnerability.
The first stage in our research capacity strengthening process was to ensure that the intervention addressed local priorities and had the potential to be viable, affordable, and sustainable.
This result confirms the reliability of the nanostructure strengthening process for all three studied glass substrates.
This includes research on the processes of achieving systems change, the health impact of systems strengthening, processes that explain the systems determinants of health outcomes, or systematic study of organizational dysfunction and ways to improve system performance.
H2O2 produced during early plant-pathogen interactions also contributes to cell wall strengthening processes, such as the formation of papilla where callose is abundantly deposited [ 51].
However, we aim to model much longer strengthening processes that correspond to the long-term healing process after the previous weakening process during a seismic cycle (e.g., Nakatani, 2001; Aochi and Matsu'ura 2002).
EIPs also can improve collaborative commerce performance by promoting the degree of integration of the enterprise process and by strengthening the process innovation and communication of collaborative design teams.
Trudeau had expressed uncertainty over Energy East during the election, but Dion said the Liberals now support the project: "We support this … but we want that to be done properly and it will be difficult to do if we don't strengthen the process itself, the process of consultation with communities and the process of scientific environmental assessment," he said.
This load was kept constant during the strengthening process till full curing of the AFRP epoxy adhesive; once the epoxy had cured, it was continuously loaded till failure of the beam.
