Engineering analyses have been performed for the representative diagnostic upper port plug of ITER.
Impression cytology was performed for the upper palpebral conjunctiva, lower palpebral conjunctiva, and temporal bulbar conjunctiva, and local differences in the CCL20 mRNA level were compared among all control subjects.
In the VKC group, impression cytology was performed for the upper palpebral conjunctiva, and pathological differences in the CCL20 mRNA level were compared between the VKC and control groups.
The decoding was performed for each upper limb separately for three categories of movements depending on the main muscles involved: (1) forearm muscles (hand and finger movements), (2) upper arm muscles (elbow and shoulder movements) and (3) all upper limb muscles (hand, fingers, elbow and shoulder movements).
Again, no mappings were performed for some upper-level relationships (and, accordingly, to upper-level reification classes), for the same reasons as explained for the type hierarchy.
A qualitative assessment of tracer uptake including intensity, pattern, and symmetry was performed for both the upper and lower body in patients and controls.
The plaque index was performed for six teeth (the upper right first molar, upper right central incisor, upper left first bicuspid, lower left first molar, lower left central incisor, and lower right first bicuspid).
Where the quadratic term was significant, separate regressions were performed for the lower and upper intensities.
Ten independent replicates were performed for each of the 12 upper bound values on the migration rates, for a total of 120 IM analyses.
Muscle MRI was performed for the thighs (18 patients), upper arms (6 patients) and shoulders (1 patient).
