A reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR -based test was developed foRT-PCR -basedc detection of LMV-Most isolates.
An automated PC-based test was developed which utilised five visual image formats (Optical Gray-Scale, Optical Coloured, Optical Augmented, Infrared Gray-Scale and Infrared Blue-Red) and nine home energy scenes (hot water boiler, radiator, water faucet, kitchen oven, tea kettle, toaster, electrical connector, laptop computer and tea mug).
Subsequently, a DNA-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was identified, and a Southern hybridization-based test was developed in an attempt to define the genotype.
In [3], a uniformly most powerful (UMP) detector based on likelihood ratio test was developed, and an elegant test for target presence or absence was also derived.
The diet/alcohol test was developed based on available published literature that found an association between the consumption of these products and acute gouty symptoms and the current gout treatment recommendations which suggest providers should counsel patients on this topic [ 6, 7, 22, 23].
A commercially available DNA based test is likely to be developed in the near future, which breeders can use to determine if LP is present in horses that do not have visible Appaloosa characteristics.
A force-controlled wear test was developed: based on cadaver measurements, the passive stabilization (ligaments and soft tissue) of the ankle joint was characterized and a restraint model for ankle stabilization was developed.
