Results showed that an appropriate local strength-weakening design can produce better lateral strength and ductility than traditional designs and all section low-yield point steel plate designs.
Zumthor said the decision to cross Wilshire, which in my view has weakened the design, had in fact given it a new strength and focus.
Yet I am concerned that the growing public brouhaha will ultimately weaken the memorial design.
To the Editor: Witold Rybczynski raises a legitimate concern that seeking compromise and consensus on Frank Gehry's Eisenhower Memorial could "ultimately weaken the memorial design".
Our results demonstrate the electrochemical response to different targets can be controllable enhanced or weakened by rational design of interface potential barriers.
After the first season, however, Sesame Street was so widely watched that it was difficult to make this distinction; ETS began to have problems finding subjects for their non-viewing groups, which weakened the experimental design.
In the last option, we argue that asking for patient consent would have weakened the study design and feasibility.
In addition, we recognize that including the accelerometer measure only twice during the study for each participant, according to the existing resources, weakens the study design.
However, the evidence is restricted to a few small studies of explanatory design weakened by methodological limitations, which leaves patients and providers without guidance on recommendations to maximize the benefits of TKR.
First, the small number of patients studied and the single-centre design weaken the comparison between mortality and recovery of kidney function, and the exclusion of the sickest patients (17 patients receiving a noradrenaline dose higher than 0.7 μg/kg/min) may have biased the study towards a benefit for EDD.
Very few NIDU studies have closely examined route of HCV exposure, principally because they used a cross-sectional design, thus weakening the interpretation of a causal link between risk factors and incident infection.
