Leveraging off riveted pressure vessel design methods, a factor to account for the likelihood of defects in a partial volumetric inspected weld was introduced into the design approach for welded vessels.
Mutations in the XPD gene can diminish the activity of TFIIH complexes increasing the likelihood of repair defects, transcription defects, and abnormal responses to apoptosis [ 30].
Furthermore, the thinner the LUS becomes on ultrasound, the higher the likelihood of a defect in the LUS.
With a €140m "break-up fee" in his pocket, Alexei Mordashov, boss of Severstal, would be crying all the way to the bank.Arcelor's management seems to sense that the likelihood of investors defecting is increasing.
To develop a comprehensive understanding of the origins of defects in human development it is important to understand the diverse mechanisms, both primary and secondary, that can cause or increase the likelihood of such defects.
Research conducted in the 1980's suggested that toxic exposures experienced by male firefighters may increase the likelihood of birth defects among their offspring [ 10].
So, Mr. Butler said, the church opposes any research that might lead to more abortions, for example a gene that identified the likelihood of a birth defect, or might encourage the use of alcohol or tobacco, for example a gene that suggested reduced health effects from smoking or drinking.
In contrast to neural tube defects, however, the likelihood of a congenital heart defect increased steadily with increasing exposure.
The failure data are analysed using statistical techniques (e.g. Weibull analysis, regression models, data mining) to create models for estimation of the likelihood of rolling stock defects.
Recent advances in cattle genome projects and molecular genetic technologies have increased the likelihood of identifying uncompensatory defects impairing the functions of spermatozoa.
