Experimental duration was 12 weeks; daily loading (peak load of ±22 N for 1000 cycles) was applied to one of each animal's bilateral implants for the latter six weeks.
So experimental duration for PSP determination was usually concluded after 200 days.
Water quality was consistent throughout the experimental duration and within a suitable range for juvenile mussels.
With increasing experimental duration, sealed microfractures were progressively overgrown by grain-boundary overgrowth cements.
A Dirichlet boundary condition (constant Sr and SO4 concentration in the reservoirs held throughout the experimental duration) was set.
Figure 2 shows the average of the feeding rate as a function of body mass for the whole experimental duration.
As summarized, there is actually no established intelligent tool to shorten the experimental duration of Fe0 testing while still obtaining reliable results.
A potent way to mimic maternal pollutant transfer with the advantage to shorten the experimental duration offers the direct substance administration into the early fish egg via microinjection.
Whilst the experimental duration could be extended, the author feels that the feasibility of the principle which is being investigated here has been proven.
As discussed herein, tools to shorten the experimental duration would only make sense when a profound understanding of the system is achieved.
All compounds, except ethanol, were detected at the very low levels at the groundwater zone (28 30 cm) throughout the experimental duration for 0 %fom.
