The glass was tested at a blast simulator at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to ensure it could absorb the shock waves of a bomb blast.
At a blast of music worthy of an Olympic routine, Ms. Weisman yelled to the drifting snowflake, "You're too far away!" and then dove anyway, splashing, with inches to spare, into the triangular hole formed by three bare legs.
The field evaluation of the new lines and hybrids made from them at a blast epidemic site also showed high resistant levels against the blast.
The peening was carried out using 3-different shot materials namely cast steel, glass beads and alumina having 3-different sizes, each ranging from 212 to 850 µm, at a blast pressure of 1.5 bar and 2.5 bar.
Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
A sequence similarity network with all proteins in the TOMM biosynthetic gene clusters visualized at a BLAST expectation value of 10−30.
Of a total of 2308 EST clusters, 52.2% gave no significant match to other sequences in GenBank or to selected whole genome assemblies (17 animal species) at a BLAST cut-off score of 10-10.
Comparison to the NR-noNema database (all protein sequences in the non-redundant NR database except those from nematodes), at a BLAST e-value cutoff of 1.0e-03 1.0e-03fidentifieds (83564 proteiNFs containing homology in non-nematode species although they were derived from nematodes (see Additional file 1).
Approximately 90% of these NFs shared primary sequence similarities to arthropod proteins, among which 26 families (NFa; 212 sequences) were found to be homologous only to sequences from arthropods but not to any proteins from non-nematode and non-arthropod species at a BLAST e-value cutoff of 1.0e-03 1.0e-03ditional file 2).
In addition, by comparing to a database containing all the currently available sequences from free-living nematodes (at a BLAST e-value cutoff of 1.0e-05 1.0e-05 nematheserestricted NFs were further divided into 296 NFp (putatively specific to parasitic NFsatodes) [see Additional file 4] and 462 NFn (conserved across both free-living and parasitic nematodes) [see Additional file 5].
