A cardinal feature of sarcoidosis is the presence of CD4+ T cells that interact with antigen-presenting cells to initiate the formation and maintenance of granulomas (Figure 2 Figure 2 Hypothesized Immunopathogenesis of Sarcoidosis.
Offset may refer to: 1  Offset (film), a 2006 film featuring RÄzvan Vasilescu and Alexandra Maria Lara. 2  Offset (law), a reduction in the amount to be paid by a losing party on the basis of debt owed by the prevailing party. 3  Offset agreement, a trade practice in the aerospace and defense industry.
Details This method is also known as offset method. In some materials, the stress at which the material changes from elastic to plastic behavior is not easily detected. In this case, the offset yield strength is determined. A line is constructed parallel to the initial portion of the stress-strain curve but offset by 0.002 in/in (0.2%) from the origin. The 0.2% offset yield strength is the stress at which the constructed line intersects the stress-strain curve as shown: Determination of the yield strength using the offset method The yield strength, corresponding to the yield point, is often defined by an offset method.
