To facilitate the comparison of aggressiveness between strains, a relative aggressiveness index (in percent) was computed as the ratio between the average area under the disease progress curve of the tested strain and that of the reference strain BC1.
The results showed that a strong correlation exists between LAS and FBB rankings at all the tested strain levels.
The new compounds showed a moderate antimycobacterial activity against the tested strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra and a significant antimycobacterial activity against several mycobacteria other than tuberculosis strains.
A comparison between the monotonic and cyclic stress strain curves in the transverse direction showed that the material exhibits cyclic hardening at all tested strain amplitudes.
Results revealed that irrespective of the tested strain amplitude and material, in-phase TMF showed a higher lifetime over out-of-phase TMF and IF at Tmax.
The fatigue lifetime curves at all tested strain rates and strain amplitudes could be described using the Basquin-Manson-Coffin relationship.
Both the experimental and numerical results demonstrate that the designed gradient modes and loading directions exhibit no effect on the mechanical response of graded Ti-6Al-4V lattice structures within the tested strain rates.
A 100 μl suspension of each tested strain was spread uniformly onto SDA plates.
In the case of larvae, the rates ranged (81 97%) depending on the tested strain.
The tested strain exhibited highest degradative capabilities at temperature 25 °C, in contrast to K. rosea cultured at 40 °C, as reported by Bernal et al. (2003).
