Because we usually sampled the same individuals more than once (see below), a single negative result within a run of positive samples could either indicate acquisition, shedding, and re-acquisition of the infection, or could be the result of Bd present but not detected for analytical or diagnostic reasons.
Fly larvae sweep their heads from side to side at the end of a run to sample their environment and determine which direction to turn.
This bias increases when the shift size increases since a very short run of samples coming from the out-of-control state of the process with a high variance was used.
This is due to the early detection of such shifts by the c-chart that leads to a very short run of samples after the change which then compresses the data and hence informs the MCMC algorithm.
Each MCMC sample was based on a run of 100 million generations sampled every 10,000 steps with the first 10 million generations regarded as burn-in.
One of the outputs from a run of the Markov chain sampler is an n × K matrix of posterior assignment probabilities.
The detection limit for mercury and selenium was 0.5 nmol/L and 0.1 μmol/L respectively, and each run of samples included a standard.
Fast, the ingenious gadget guru, kept up a running commentary of samples and effects, triggering absurd canned laughter to punctuate Huey's stream of wisecracks and playing chunks of old movie trailers and commercials.
Genomic DNA was sequenced on an Illumina Hi-Seq in a multiplex run of 48 samples.
Before spiking, the actual cell number of HCC1937 cell line was determined using BD TruCount tubes (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), containing a known number of fluorescent beads and by running of samples on a flow cytometer (FACS Calibur, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).
So far, Orchid Cellmark has conducted extensive preliminary work, as well as a trial run of DNA samples.
