Of the participants who achieved the 5% weight loss goal at 3 months (FF 57.2%, DVD 56.7%, INT 62%, and SS 66.7%), >90% in each group sustained the weight loss at 6 months (FF 90.7%, DVD 90.9%, INT 92.1%, and SS 100%) (data not shown).
Although the DPP trial was not set up a priori to determine the effects of each of the lifestyle components on DM risk, the subgroup analysis showed weight loss (adjusted for diet and exercise) to be the dominant predictor for reduced DM risk, and exercise sustained the weight loss.

In other words, a vertical isolation system must have sufficient vertical rigidity to sustain the weight of the isolated object, while it must also have sufficient flexibility in order to elongate the vibration period under seismic excitation.
This would be expected, because Jenike did neither account for the possibility that an arch across the outlet may slide along the wall, nor for the fact that the arch, in addition to its own weight, will have to sustain the weight of the powder above.
