Since being commissioned in 1962, this structure has been subjected to several earthquakes, but the one that hit Boumerdes town on 2003, was fatal for it.
The expectations model of the term structure has been subjected to numerous empirical tests and almost invariably rejected, with the failure generally attributed to systematic expectations errors or to shifts in risk premia.
As a result, methods based on mode shape data and frequency response function of the structure have been subject of recent studies (Mal et al.2005).2005
Wave transmission on rubble mound structures has been subject for more flume tests in the DELOS programme and simultaneously an existing database has been increased extensively by receiving data from other researchers in the world.
All these structures have been subjected to an analysis using distinct strategies, such as implicit and explicit finite element methods including nonlinear behaviors, damages, and several types of failures trying to identify the key parameters in the failure sequence.
The neocortex represents the brain structure that has been subjected to a major expansion in its relative size during the course of mammalian evolution.
For example, PAMO has been subjected to structure-based mutagenesis and this has resulted in several mutants that display a somewhat altered substrate range and/or enantioselectivity when compared with the wild-type enzyme (Bocola et al. 2005; Torres Pazmiño et al. 2007; Wu et al. 2010; Dudek et al. 2011).
The structure suggested by an exploratory factor analysis has been subjected to sequential confirmatory factor analyses and a revised model has been developed which meets a variety of goodness of fit criteria and remains consistent with the original three-factor structure of the RLI.
To find the optimum positions of the features within an anisotropic structure with the highest stiffness, the elastic compliance of the structure has been minimized subject to constraints upon stresses and geometry.
In addition, the spatial location of the NPs within the OPV device structure has been the subject of much study.
