Interest in adding niobium to high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel can be traced to the work in 1939 of F.M. Becket and R. Franks, who demonstrated that niobium strengthening reduced reliance on conventional hardeners such as carbon, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum, thereby improving weldability.
The stable tribofilm and the nano particle strengthening reduced the intensity of abrasion, delamination, oxidation and third body wear mechanisms and keep the wear under control in the nanocomposites.
It may be that maximum quadriceps muscle strength is not a significant contributor to the KAM; other muscle groups such as hip adductors may have a larger role [ 44, 45], although recent studies have been inconsistent regarding whether hip muscle strengthening reduces the peak KAM [ 44, 46].
12 13 14 15 There is sufficient evidence to recommend weight reduction as an intervention for knee osteoarthritis 16 17 and convincing evidence, including a recent systematic review, that exercise (both aerobic and muscle strengthening) reduces pain and disability from knee osteoarthritis.
Furthermore advice would cover numerous nutritional effects, e.g. strengthening bones, reducing stress and boosting testosterone, with little contextualisation.
The company noted that the strengthening dollar reduced revenue by $900 million in the quarter.
He thus gained a firm political and economic basis, which he strengthened by reducing even further the traditional influence of the Buddhist temples.
The PL intensity was slightly strengthened by reducing TD density from 1 × 1010cm−2 to nearly zero (less than 1 × 106cm−2).

We used a combination of approaches to health systems strengthening to reduce transmission of HIV from mother to infant in a multi-facility public health system in South Africa.
