Strength matters : tie strength as a causal driver of networks' information benefits
… of information transmission might depend on strength of the tie; and that tie strength is a potentially important source of the tie's value. After all, even if job seekers have social ties to those who have valuable job information, the seekers will gain little information benefit when the …

The validity of using grip strength to represent total body strength and of using a 1Rm bench press to represent upper body strength
… females, aged 18-30 years, executed 22 isometric strength measurements using strength table procedures similar to Clarke's (1966). A load cell was used in place of the cable tensiometer used by Clarke. Each subject was also administered a grip strength test and a 1RM bench press test. Two …

Flexural strength and shear bond strength of self-etching/self-adhesive resin luting agents
… The mechanical properties tested were flexural strength (FS) and shear bond strength (SBS). The FS test included making beams of each material, storing them in water for periods of time (24 hours and 90 days) and then performing a three-point bending test on a universal testing machine. The 90 …
