Joint efficiency, definition

For double-welded butl-jtrinl. eon.Htruclion, the above definition of p may be substituted into Eq. 3.16. When one U.SCS an allowable design stress of 21,000 psi for SA-7 plate and a joint efficiency of 0.85 for doubied-welded butt-joint construction, the following substitution results ... 

While isolation of a specific inhibitor will be necessary to assess the definitive role of the cytosolic nuclease in the low transfection efficiency in vivo, circumstantial evidence suggests that the metabolic instability of plasmid DNA represents one of the cellular barriers to gene transfer. Microinjection of DNA complexes with PEI has augmented the transfection efficiency (Pollard et al., 1998). Although the stability of the PEI-complexed DNA has not been determined in vivo, it has been demonstrated that the nuclease resistance of plasmid DNA is dramatically increased upon complex formation in vitro (Cappaccioli et al., 1993 Chiou et al., 1994 Thierry et al., 1997). Therefore, it is conceivable that faster diffusional mobility and decreased nuclease susceptibility jointly lead to the enhanced nuclear targeting efficiency of the PEI-condensed plasmid DNA. 

Although the definition of the inertia matrix is simple in the ]4iysical sense, its calculation is quite complex. A number of different ai roaches have be investigated in the search for computationally efficient algorithms. Lee and Lee [24] use the generalized d Alemtert equations of motion to describe the dynamic behavior of robot manipulators with revolute joints. Specific expressions... 

These authors would exclude legal combinations from their definition of partnerships. Our view is that legal combinations do fall within the partnership umbrella. Most mergers and joint ventures have some supply chain implications seeking synergy in the form of new markets or cost efficiencies from the combination.
