The most extreme example is pre-implantation genetic screening, where an assay of a single cell might guide embryo selection.
Just to prove a point, we took a look in our rearview mirror, and an assay of our archives from the last seven years yielded quite an assecution of behinds: eight, to be exact, nine if you count the Horse's Ass Issue.
The film version of "The Human Stain" due out next month is an exception; it has been stripped of subplots that diluted the novel, making the film more useful as an assay of the 1940's, a neglected period in the racial history of this country.
The aim of the present study was to examine the oxidative properties and an assay of azithromycin and Hemomycin® at a gold electrode in neutral electrolyte using cyclic linear sweep voltammetry.
The formulation was tested for its ability to induce cytotoxicity in V79 fibroblast cells using an assay of mitochondrial activity (MTT assay).
The yields were determined from an assay of the sugars and the numbers in the parentheses represent the standard deviations determined from hydrolysis runs in triplicates.
William Barillas, in an assay of the Prairie School movement, agrees with O'Gorman's assessment and calls Taliesin "the ultimate prairie house".
We also measured prandial suppression of circulating acyl-ghrelin (a centrally-acting orexigenic hormone signalling acute nutrient intake), and circulating leptin levels (providing an assay of energy reserves).
We also used an assay of cell viability.
