Originally developed to measured system usability, the SUS has been adapted for testing a wide range of technologies, including hardware platforms and software programs [ 37].
Water pycnometry, typically used for testing soils was adapted for testing MSW using a large flask with 2000 mL capacity and specimens with 100 350 g masses.
Thus, the present model seems to provide optimal basic conditions to study the regeneration of injured cartilage in general and appears to be well-adapted for testing the biocompatibility, cell seeding and matrix deposition/regeneration capacity of candidate biomaterials, as shown for the innovative cartilage replacement material BNC.
JC prepared and adapted the hardware for testing the specimens, performed the fatigue tests, participated in the acquisition of data and in the interpretation of the resulting curves.
We have made our intervention booklet publicly available (see appendix and www.stremlerresearch.com/tips) so that our intervention can be adapted for testing at other time points in the postpartum period or in populations that might be of greater risk of sleep problems or their sequelae, such as postpartum depression.
This has recently been adapted for testing cattle sera [8] and is hereafter referred to as the lateral flow assay (LFA).
Such a structure, having good efficiency, is well adapted for testing and operation of fuel cells in normal and degraded working modes, which correspond to real constraints on board a vehicle.
A five percent level of significance was adapted for testing analysis.
The next twenty four hours served unsupervised adaptation while the rest of the data (12 hours) were employed for testing the adapted system.
The OECD guidelines for testing chemicals (2000) for toxicity were adapted in testing the safety of the extract of Loxostylis alata[ 28].
The general approach followed can be replicated in contexts similar to Koboko district: rural areas of Uganda, and sub-Saharan Africa in general, that are characterized by poverty and strong dependence of the population on ecosystem services are good candidates for testing the method, adapting assumptions to specific environmental and social conditions.
