The channels are rigidly terminated, thus constituting a locally reacting structure.
Heavy metals are ubiquitous in nature, thus constituting a serious environmental problem in many countries.
The Communists were to retain their Communist Party membership but would join the Kuomintang as individuals, thus constituting a "bloc within" the party.
The results demonstrated that MultiOpt can be used to compare different combinations of options and constraints, thus constituting a basis for operational decision-making.
Their thick rim rises to form a high sill separating the Mediterranean basin to the north from the Sahara to the south, thus constituting a barrier that hinders, without completely preventing, communication between the two regions.
At the Marco Polo Bridge it is 50 feet (15 metres) above the level of the city, thus constituting a hazard when the river is in flood but also facilitating canalization and irrigation.
More specifically, results at intermediate frequency could be related to the onset of the failure process, thus constituting a promising tool for monitoring the threshold of load level related to the mechanical rupture of the specimens.
While support in protein folding by molecular chaperones is extremely efficient for endogenous polypeptides, it often fails for recombinant proteins in a bacterial host, thus constituting a major hurdle for protein research and biotechnology.
We have been successful in creating and ratifying an outlier detection process that works in the alphanumeric fields of the audit logs from an information system, thus constituting a useful tool for system auditors performing data analysis tasks.
In contrast, it was concluded that the proposed energy based method behaves well in several different circumstances, thus constituting a better solution to deal with general mixed-mode fracture problems.
The developed finite element model is in good agreement with the experimental measurements and the fracture growth pattern, thus constituting a useful tool to predict the impact response of biocomposite parts.
