The size of these animals approximated that of a modern elephant, and they were equipped with large claws and teeth; the latter were confined to the sides of the jaw, because the animal fed largely on the leaves of trees and bushes.
Although the origin of the faecal slurry and the route of fluid administration differed, the age of the animals (approximating to juvenile/early adulthood) and laboratory conditions were similar, as were the time to death and the overall 72-h mortality rate (approximately 75%) of both models.
However, 10% morbidity of received animals approximates 1 million head and 1% mortality is >10,000 head [ 2, 3].
In the DEE-exposed animals an approximate twofold increase in the pituitary gland was observed after 4 h.
In these animals, an approximate 3-fold OE of AdipoR1 was generated, irrespective of the diet fed, with no HFD-induced impairment of AdipoR1 protein expression being noted in control muscles (Fig. 1B).
Some animal species approximate what humans would call kissing.
Two years ago, researchers got a chance to solve the mystery when dime-sized "geolocators"—devices that can simultaneously record daylight and time data, enabling researchers to track an animal's approximate route became available.
After subcutaneous infection of susceptible BALB/c mice with doses of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 pfu per animal, an approximate LD50 of 10 pfu and a mean time to death of 11 days post-infection were observed in all groups (not shown).
The ability of the recovered utility functions to predict risky choice behavior provided additional strong evidence that the animals were approximating the behavior of expected utility maximizers.
The genotypic analysis of 477 neonatal offspring obtained from breeding heterozygous animals showed an approximate Mendelian ratio between wild-type (26.8%, n = 128), heterozygous mutant (50.7%, n = 242), and homozygous mutant (22.4%, n = 107) animals.
