Preserving local displacement measurement accuracy on aqueous solution-immersed soft tissue specimens is a basic requirement in biomechanics because dehydration alters the specimen's mechanical properties.
We consider tasks such as quality assurance and control, specimen conservation, assignment of globally unique identifiers (GUIDs), and the recording of at least a basic set of data per specimen (i.e., skeletal records) to be essential.
We have outlined a basic protocol for efficiently georeferencing a specimen database en masse after digitization of the specimen labels (Appendix S13).
Based on a basic formulation, 32 different friction material specimens were produced according to an experimental design.
Finally, specimen identification will allow for a basic calibration of the current visual shore-spawner survey index to an estimate of absolute abundance.
A basic ductile fracture testing program is carried out on specimens extracted from TRIP780 steel sheets including tensile specimens with a central hole and circular notches.
Scientific collections housing embryos simply need to provide a basic check list (Figure 5) of SES-characters visible in a specimen (sheet 1 of Table S1 or 2).
Specimens were placed into sterile containers containing a basic transport medium (DMEM, Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, Dorset UK) with penicillin, streptomycin and gentamicin as additives.
This workshop will cover a basic introduction to butterflies and their life cycle, and allow the student to select a butterfly specimen to create in watercolor.
