After an inspection in 2005 engineers had classified the bridge as "structurally deficient", and repairs were planned.
"Whatever it takes to repair the structurally deficient bridges, we don't have enough money for," said Jeffrey M. Zupan, senior fellow for transportation at the Regional Plan Association.
Pires et al. (2007) suggested that wetting-drying cycles can be used to repair some structurally damaged soils.
In osteochondral tissue engineering, cell recruitment, proliferation, differentiation, and patterning are critical for forming biologically and structurally viable constructs for repair of damaged or diseased tissue.
Further studies discovered that the regenerative effects of MSCs do not merely rely on their ability to structurally contribute to tissue repair.
In other examples involving chromatin structure and DNA repair, DSB repair in the heterochromatin requires specialized mechanisms to promote access to repair proteins because heterochromatin is structurally inhibitory to DNA repair owing to its condensed structure.
Additionally, AlkB repairs the structurally analogous lesions 1meG (1-methylguanine) and 3meT (3-methylthymidine) and the bulkier exocyclic etheno and ethano adducts [ 13– 17].
The barn, although in need of exterior paint, is structurally sound and in excellent repair on the inside.
When Rainier III died in 2005 he left both his palace and his country in a stronger and more stable state of repair financially and structurally than they had been for centuries.
DDB1 is a UV-damaged-DNA binding protein involved in nucleotide excision repair; it is structurally related to the U2-snRNP-associated protein SF3b130, but otherwise has no obvious link to splicing [20].
