Although all patients were studied as a single sample, complications and predictors could be varied for different serovars.
Ligament lengths were varied for SEN3PB samples and the corresponding fracture data were represented by plotting the specific fracture energy (U/A) as a function of ligament length.
The parameters, like material and thickness, were varied for the samples to see their effect on the large deformation behavior.
Samples were aliquoted so as to be already normalized to cell count: cell density at sample time had been measured on a hemacytometer, and the volume that was vacuum concentrated was varied for each sample in order to yield a final concentration of 3×10 live cell equivalents/μL after derivatization.
Time of day was varied for the sampling of the same potted plant.
To avoid bias from interrun variation, iTRAQ labeling was varied for the fresh adult hepatocyte samples, which were spread across the four proteomics experimental runs.
A number of Ge layers in multilayer structures reached 15 but usually was 5; their effective thickness (hGe), permanent for each sample, was varied from sample to sample in the range from 4 to 18 Å; the thickness of the Si spacers (hSi) was ∼ 50 nm.
The amount and sampling frequency for an auto-sampler can be varied depending on the product type and quality characteristic of interest.
There has been little standardization of the methods used and the approaches are varied in terms of samples (for example, blood, skin, plasma), timing (for example, before, during) assays (for example, clonogenic, DNA damage, chromosome damage, level of apoptosis assessed using flow cytometry, cytokine production assessed using ELISA, gene expression profiling, proteomics, metabolomics).
The gradient times were varied depending upon the sample specifications.
