The extent of hard/soft segment demixing, assessed from small-angle X-ray scattering, was very incomplete for all of the polyureas and is significantly influenced by hard segment structure.
Firstly, the phase behaviour of the amphiphilic lipid phytantriol (PHY) and oleic acid (OA) was assessed from pH 2 9 using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) to determine the appropriate composition for the vesicle to hexosome transition.
Compounds with low efflux (assessed from the ratio of MIC against wild type and efflux mutant) tend to be small and polar or large and zwitterionic.
Drought after-effects, as assessed from one season to the other, were small, except when stress occurred during flower induction.
In this case the smaller twin was of appropriate size and maturity for gestation assessed from LMP.
Immediate freezing was assessed from minutes 6 8.
195 individuals (42% male) were recruited from a university campus and were assessed in small group sessions using personal computers.
Learning is assessed with small quizzes that are followed by tests.
Risks from climate change are often better assessed at a small geographic scale, said Kate Gordon, executive director of the Risky Business project.
35 To assess potential bias from small study effects we constructed funnel plots displaying the log odds ratios of individual studies on the horizontal axis and the standard errors of the log odds ratios (precision) on the vertical axis.
The precise health risk from the tested jewelry is unclear because researchers did not assess whether small amounts shed when the jewelry is handled and worn.
