For this purpose, the constant stress moment, which is the work conjugate quantity of the constant strain gradient for the finite volume evaluation region, is introduced.
Using the Bottle Material Volume Evaluation Tool the system calculates two factors to evaluate the material volume of each bottle part and compare it to the minimal one for the specific volume and to quantify the effect of the modification of the part's dimensions on the volume of the packaging material.
The tumor response was evaluated either by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ 26] or by the three-dimensional volume evaluation defined as: complete response (CR; disappearance of the disease), partial response (PR; reduction of tumor volume of ≥65%), stable disease (SD; volume reduction <65% or enlargement ≤73%), or progressive disease (PD; volume enlargement ≥73%).
Swelling might be underestimated following TKA surgery and its application might be complicated by the post-surgical volume evaluation determined by tape measurements at regular intervals is also a valid and reliable measurement method [ 26- 29].
The volume calculation used a surface model followed by a subvoxel volume evaluation of the model.
Consequently, the single-beat mode for RV volume evaluation was used.
Using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) technique and SOMATOM EMOTION SIEMENS apparatus (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) equipped with Somaris/5 VB10B software (version B10/2004A, Volume Evaluation application package), the determination of mean volumetric tooth mineral density (MvTMD) and total tooth volume (Tvol) was performed.
The method is organized so that the "heavy" calculations, i.e. sink detection, volume evaluation, constraints verification, etc. are run only once.
For subcutaneous xenograft models, it also offers the advantage of providing more accurate tumour volume evaluation than measurement with callipers [ 35].
Comparisons of depositional facies from experimental deposits with natural deposits justify the use of this experimental dataset for deposit volume evaluation (Graettinger et al. 2015a,b; Valentine et al. 2015b).
