Cognitive performance was measured using the Mini Mental State Examination, clock drawing test, Rey auditory verbal learning test, digit symbol test, digit span test, matrix reasoning test, and block design test.
To bridge the gap between experiment and reality, this paper envisions four cyclic tests spanning the range of loadings which can occur in practice: constant-stress, constant-strain, constant-stress with limited maximum strain and linear stress strain cycle.
As a whole, the hierarchical multiscale model was found to predict macroscopic failure initiation to within 25% of values measured in laboratory tests spanning a wide range of stress states.
For this study, researchers from Georgia State University in Atlanta took 99 captive chimpanzees ages 9 to 54 and subjected them to 13 different IQ tests spanning a range of different cognitive abilities, from communication skills to spatial reasoning and tool use.
We used sequence data from routine genotypic tests spanning the protease and partial reverse transcriptase regions in the Virolab and EuResist databases that collated data from five European countries.
POCD was tested by trail making test, digit symbol substitution test, Ray's auditorial verbal learning test, digit span test and verbal fluency test the day before and 5 days after surgery.
The uncertainty of the measured cooling capacity of the test span ranges from ±0.9 to ±1.1%.
The beams were placed on roller supports, so to have a test span of 500 mm (see Fig. 1a).
Laskar's beams had the same compressive strength of concrete, a/d ratios, test span and total prestressing force as the PSFC I-Beams.
The lay-ups (Figures 1, 2, and 3) for the initial strengthening of all the beams were determined upon initial testing of the control beam and were set to mimic the control beam's testing span.
