It was performed using digital images (512 × 512 pixels) from each tissue block by using a linear measurement software program (SigmaScan Pro 5.0).
Femoral nerve block was performed using a linear ultrasound probe (HFL50 15–6 MHz; SonoSite Inc., Bothell, WA, USA) and a 5-cm, 18-gauge Contiplex Tuohy needle (B-Braun Ltd., Tochigi, Japan) [2].
While it is easy to measure the product of the two linear blocks using a Gaussian excitation and linear identification methods, it is difficult to split the global dynamics over the individual blocks.
So, for acquiring the reference block for a q-pel interpolation using a linear address mapping the system will issue: nine read commands for data that is located on nine different rows.
Bead-binding data was fitted with two poisson probability curves using a linear least-squares method (Svoboda and Block, 1994).
The genotype means were estimated using a linear mixed model that considered replications and blocks within replications as random effects while the genotypes were considered as fixed effect.
They were irradiated with 25 MeV photons using a linear accelerator and four adapted fields with a blocking system ("box" method).
Genotypic means of Box-Cox transformed metabolite concentrations were obtained using a linear mixed model analysis including effects for field trial, replication, block, and batch.
To determine overall conductance and voltage of half-maximal block, we used a linear current/voltage function with a block at positive voltages.
Endogenous biotin was blocked using an endogenous biotin blocking kit.
