Postprocessing procedures

Fig. 16. The maximum displacements of the RC structure, during each earthquake acceleration, y MD,i = maxvi (r) i 1, 2, 3, is the result of the postprocessing procedure. The result of the uncertain analysis is the fuzzy maximum displacements y.MD,i i 1, 2, 3. ...

The knowledge of the stress held is a hrst step towards the analysis of the risks of failure of ceramic materials subjected to multiaxial stress, such as provided by the Weibull theory [122]. A postprocessing procedure based on the the principle of independent action (PIA) is straightforward to implement. In the case future studies highlight the limitations of this simplihcation, more rehned theories exist, such as the Batdorf theory [57]. A complete analysis tool, CARES [94] is available. 

The resulting raw material, in the form of beads or granules, is called expandable polystyrene (EPS). The usual procedure is for the EPS beads or granules to be prepared in one location and transported to other locations, where they are expanded and/or molded into their final forms. This process has inherent advantages the costs of shipping the voluminous foam is minimized and intricate molding shapes can be molded directly without postprocessing. 

To date, different perfusion parameters with different thresholds have been apphed for penumbral assessment in different centers, potentially resulting in different estimates of abnormal perfusion and different patient management decisions. This variabihty needs to be addressed in definitive trials, with vahdation of optimal postprocessing and image interpretation procedures, followed by standardization of methodology across different centers. 

Long-term incubation of surfactant-stabilized droplet collections is widely used in many implementations of droplet-based cellular assays, bioassays, and analytical procedures. Due to the recent advantages in the development and commercial availability of fluorinated surfactant-stabilized fluid compositions, even large droplet collections can be incubated in parallel without any cross contamination or unwanted fluid cross talk. Often a postprocessing of the droplets after incubation and the addition of detection reagents are necessary. Here liquid dosing would be a suitable approach if the droplet collections can be fed equally spaced into a microchannel. 

Criticism that has sometimes been directed at solid-state techniques purports that simpler aqueous techniques (which are not simpler at all— perhaps the correct phrasing would be more familiar) can often be used to generate the same material as a solid-state procedure. Though it is true that similar products can often be made, this criticism does not take into account the possible processing benefits that can be derived from the smaller processing volumes, smaller volumes of byproducts, and simpler postprocessing, as detailed above. Therefore, solid-state techniques may be preferable even in the case where aqueous exchange can be used to prepare the same material. 

This section, due to the work by Dejong et al. (2013), focuses specifically on bubble formation/annihilation close to the membranes, bubble size distribution and particle mixing as a function of the gas permeation ratio, i.e., the ratio of gas added/extracted relative to the total gas feed, fed via the bottom distributor and the membranes. After a description of the experimental setup and the procedures used for data postprocessing, the PIV/DIA results for cases of gas extraction and gas addition for different membrane configurations with membranes of different tube diameters will be discussed and compared.
