For certain parts of the airfield, however, asphaltic concrete is an unsuitable material for pavement construction because of its vulnerability to damage by aviation fuel.
These elements are, respectively, the extent and value of buildings exposed to risk, the severity and frequency of the hazard, and the degree of their vulnerability to damage.
Together, our work indicates that hair-cell ribbon size influences the spontaneous spiking and the precise encoding of stimulus onset in afferent neurons.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Numerous studies support that hair-cell ribbon size corresponds with functional sensitivity differences in afferent neurons and, in the case of inner hair cells of the cochlea, vulnerability to damage from noise trauma.
The device is highly efficient and is competitive even with modern propellers; it was supplanted by the latter because of the paddle wheel's vulnerability to damage in storms and its emergence from the water when the ship rolled heavily, which made steering difficult.
Under optimal green infrastructure, we show an exact level of the population, under which using Eco-DRR is preferable to gray infrastructure, expressed by parameters reflecting the probability of occurrence of hazard, probability of preventing exposure to the hazard, population size, and vulnerability to damage accruing from exposure, as well as costs and benefits of the two infrastructures.
Intact freestanding crosses of this age are comparatively rare, perhaps due to their vulnerability to damage, and the only ones in Eastern Scotland are the Camus Cross and the Dupplin Cross in Strathearn.
The pattern of transition in managed landscapes generates an associated pattern of vulnerability to wind damage.
It is this same vulnerability to water damage that makes the pipe systems corrode in old homes long before the outer frames deteriorate.
Bellini, C., Wang, S., Milewicz, D.M. & Humphrey, J.D. Myh11 R247C/R247C) mutations increase thoracic aorta vulnerability to intramural damage despite a general biomechanical adaptivity.
But once exposed to ultraviolet radiation, those destined to become blonds or redheads often develop freckles, a sign of increased vulnerability to sun damage.
It's not the height of these buildings that is the main issue, but the vulnerability to catastrophic damage causing civilian casualties at street level.
