The friction parameter on the rake surface of the tools was determined in-situ.
In this paper the data on the loading of the tools is determined from a commercial forging simulation package as the contact stress distribution on the die-workpiece interface and as temperature distributions in the die.
The appropriateness of the length of the tool was determined using a 3-point Likert scale.
The coefficient for reliability of the tool was determined by chronbach's alpha to be r = 0.8 in some studies [ 29, 31, 32].
The reliability of the tool was determined by computation of Chronbach's alpha using SPSS, which gave a value of 0.68, indicating an acceptable degree of internal consistency.
The dates for the sediments bearing the stone tools were determined to range from 13,200 to 15,500 years ago.
The validity of these tools was determined based on their comparison to the gold standards of birth weight measured with a scale and gestational age based on last menstrual period.
The optimal mechanical design parameters of the re-designed rivet tools were determined by Taguchi method.
The principle characteristics of this tool were determined to be 1) patient reported, 2) suitable for repeated testing over extended time periods, 3) acceptable to patients for ongoing completion, and 4) containing multiple dimensions covering relevant symptoms.
The nearest-neighbour thermodynamic parameters used by dimer prediction tools were determined under the specific buffer conditions of 1.0 M NaCl, 10 mM sodium cacodylate, and 0.5 mM NA2EDTA, and pH 7.011,12,13,14,15,16,17.
