Avkorporatiseringen i Finland, En studie av FFC i det statliga kommittéväsendet 1981-1998
… korporatistiska kanal har försvagats. FFC är Finlands största intresseorganisation, och därför är det intressant att se om denna, åtminstone tidigare så inflytelserika organisation, har mistat en del av sin makt, eller om den har hittat nya kanaler för påtryckningsverksamhet. Därtill …

Flowable Fibrous Concrete For Thin Pavement Inlays
… fibers within a flowable fibrous concrete (FFC) mixture were characterized by relating their spatial distribution and orientations, determined from x-ray computed tomography (CT), with the measured toughness or fracture energy response of a FFC specimen. This new type of concrete, FFC, was …

Filiform corrosion on organic coated steel
… the intricate phenomenon of filiform corrosion (FFC) in organic-coated steel, investigating its mechanisms and proposing novel prevention strategies. Despite extensive empirical research and theoretical models, uncertainties persist about the precise nature of FFC on steel substrates, the causes, …

Effects of Chelating Agents on Texture of Lowfat Cheddar Cheese
… were analyzed and compared to full fat Cheddar (FFC) control during ripening for 120 days at 8°C. We hypothesized that chelating agents would bind calcium ions from cheese matrix to give a softer curd due to a decrease of protein-protein interactions and simultaneously increasing moisture …

Dynamics of liquids in porous media: Investigating competitive adsorption using NMR relaxometry
… method that was applied was Fast Field Cycling (FFC) NMR, which has been shown to quantitatively probe surface-adsorbate interactions of liquids in porous media. First, a model study of binary liquid mixtures imbibed within anatase titania and γ-alumina was performed to assess the applicability …

Applying NMR Relaxation Methods to the Study of Liquids in Porous Media
… T2 values were compared with fast field cycling (FFC-) NMR measurements. For each technique the relative advantages and disadvantages were explored, and methodologies allowing a robust implementation of these techniques to study the adsorption were presented. Fixed field measurements of …

Surface and microstructural properties of photocatalytic cements for pavement applications
… inlays incorporating flowable fibrous concrete (FFC) mix designs as well as titanium dioxide (TiO2)-containing photocatalytic cements are a promising pavement preservation solution. These multi-functional inlays offer enhanced constructability and structural properties while also benefiting the …

The mechanics of front leg loading during cricket fast bowling: delivery variations, spell demands, and the effects of strength training
… with respect to GRF during front foot contact (FFC). This series of studies provides valuable information about the implications of delivery length, spell demands and the influence of strength training upon fast bowling biomechanics and performance, as well as the first investigation on the …

Assessment of local water distribution infrastructure management and maintenance challenges
… of funding provisions (Mescht & Jaarsveld, 2012; FFC, 2013). The continuing poor maintenance of water distribution networks has contributed to high leakage rates in South Africa (FFC, 2013; DBSA, 2012). To address challenges of maintenance of water distribution infrastructure a regulatory …

Inverse Methods for Fast Field Cycling and NMR Correlation Experiments
… exchange experiments and new fast field cycling (FFC) modelling approaches. Moreover, the theoretical framework to consider fast field cycling as an inverse problem is provided and the possibility to employ established regularization methods for the inversion of NMR dispersion profiles is …

Metabolic Pathway Optimization with Data Driven Approaches
… in the activity of the enzyme. The higher the FFC the more controlling the step. However, the value for a flux control coefficient for a specific enzyme is determined by all the other enzymes in the pathway. Most kinetic rate laws for pathway models are generally nonlinear, which makes an …

Biomechanical determinants of injury risk and performance during change of direction : implications for screening and intervention
… over the COD, greater final foot contact [FFC] braking forces over shorter ground contact times (GCT), greater FFC KFMs, smaller hip and knee flexion angles and range of motion (ROM), wider lateral foot plant distances, and greater internally rotated foot postures) are in direct conflict …

Organizational Culture and Identity: A Case Study from the Australian Football League
… a strong and clearly defined identity, FFC's inward looking culture undermined its capacity to fully engage with its heavily regulated environment. Subsequently, the club became dysfunctional as little was provided by way of long term planning and direction. The second period was …
