Because maternal investment can differ among acid and neutral R. arvalis populations [ 46], and because egg size/initial size mediated maternal effects can affect larval performance of R. arvalis in a pH dependent way [ 21], average egg size of each parental female, as well as initial size (size at Gosner stage 25) of each experimental tadpole, was measured from digital images.
Particulate size and contamination are important because the size of the wafer and printed circuit etch is now so small that any particle of contamination is now the size of a 747 airplane relative to the distance between adjacent etches.
The technique used in the current paper is superior for assessing how colony size affects growth rate because the size of individual colonies was established prior to determining growth rate.
Further, it requires the design of flanking PCR primers that would amplify across a range of deletion sizes, because the size of the deletion and the number of genes in the deleted region would not be known.
Indeed, several authors suggested that NIBC currently classified as T4a c should be classified according to tumour size, because the size of the primary tumour or the nodal involvement, rather than direct invasion of the chest wall or ulceration of the skin, might better indicate prognosis (Gueth et al, 2007).
Additionally, some of these small read differences have even smaller library-size-adjusted differences because the corresponding library sizes are above the median level.
Some countries such as Iceland, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates are excluded from the analysis because of their size and/or because of the size of their samples.
Because of the size and number, the full size images require a click to be loaded.
A catalyst particle diameter of 3 mm is a compromise size because increasing the size of the catalyst particle leads to a decrease in the reaction rate because of an internal diffusion limitation, and particles with a smaller diameter cause a large pressure drop.
