At the end of the analyses, each disk's manufacturer was revealed to her by JSD (first co-author).
Phenotypic analyses, including disk diffusion tests and growth curves, were performed to compare the spaceflight clones and the ground control strain (Additional file 3: Figure S1).
In the discrete element modeling, media such as crust and/or sedimentary layers are replaced by assemblies of rigid balls (in three-dimensional analyses) or disks (in two-dimensional analyses), connected to each other by imaginary elastic springs in the normal and shear directions.
The load and the constraints were maintained throughout the analyses while the disk was rotated to achieve loading angles of 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° and 25°.
Moreover, analyses of HA disks implanted for 5 days showed that RGD significantly inhibits total bone formation as well as the amount of new bone directly contacting the implant perimeter.
Mitochondrial trafficking was analysed by spinning disk confocal microscopy (PerkinElmer, Rodgau, Germany).
Briefly, isolates displaying a zone of PCG ≤ 12 mm were further analysed with Cefinase disk (Biomerieux, Solna, Sweden) to detect beta-lactamase production.
The reaction was monitored by acquiring data for Pt loading, Nafion content and temperature by analyses of the rotating disk voltammograms and potentiostatic current transients (PCTs).
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and rotating disk electrode analyses revealed that pyrolysis produced ORR-active oxygen defects, whose formation was proposed to involve carbothermal reduction.
The analyses of the rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammograms using a PANI-modified RDE and steady-state current-potential curves using a PANI pellet electrode revealed that hydroquinone and p-dimethoxybenzene were concentrated in the PANI during the electro-oxidation.
