Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was selected as our analytical platform as it allows reproducible measurement, acquisition of a large number of compound peaks from a biological sample, and straightforward peak identification using retention index (RI) and mass spectra by matching to an available reference library [ 31].
The authors also note the obvious information technology challenges associated with acquisition of large, compound data sets bring, namely, data storage, dimensionality reduction, visualization, and interpretation.
Other compounds utilized are summarized in Table 1, including information on acquisition of the compound.
However, in our experiments an acquisition of additional compounds during isolation treatments that could have been responsible for the observed aggression seems unlikely for several reasons.
Thus, zooplankton should in principle exploit any opportunity to enhance the acquisition of these compounds from their diet 29.
This could lead to deficiencies in the acquisition of organic compounds such as amino acids and fatty acids, which are taken up through zooplankton predation (Houlbrèque and Ferrier-Pagès, 2009; and references therein).
A '+' indicates successful acquisition of a dataset whereas a '-' indicates an unsuccessful or un-attempted acquisition.
We also observed that prolonged compound treatment resulted in accumulation of ESCs in the G1 phase of the cell cycle at the expense of S phase and cell proliferation, which is consistent with the acquisition of a more-differentiated phenotype.
This TTL signal instructs the camera when to begin acquisition of a preprogrammed image acquisition sequence.
The final library of purchased compounds contained 33 ligands predicted by A and 74 compounds predicted by B; 18 compounds were common to both A and B. The final criterion for the acquisition of the 89 compounds was commercial availability.
