Based on the supercoiling-sensitive real-time PCR method, we propose a new approach for the noninvasive monitoring of systemic oxidative stress by quantifying the mtDNA structural damage and copy number change in isolated lymphocytes in a single test.
The progression of damage in individual rats was assessed with serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by quantifying the markers of neuronal damage (T2, T1ϱ, and Dav) in the amygdala and hippocampus.
Finally, the reduction of physical and mechanical properties has been evaluated by using contrast tests, quantifying the damage produced on the fibres of geosynthetics after different deterioration procedures.
The nephroprotective potential of GA was assessed by quantifying the markers of kidney damage such as serum blood-urea-nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CR) and alkaline phosphatase (AP).
Comet assay or alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) is a very simple, fast, and sensitive technique for assessing genotoxicity by quantifying the amount of DNA damage caused in individual cells.
By quantifying the amount of DNA damage foci present in the cells, we found no correlation with the size of the confining structures indicating that the changes in nuclear morphology had no major effects on nuclear DNA integrity.
Quantifying the damage done by viruses, however, is extremely difficult.
Most fatigue models must somehow identify and count individual load events before quantifying the damage induced by each one of them, making multiaxial fatigue damage calculations under non-proportional variable amplitude loadings a challenging and laborious task in practical applications.
A Laser Vibrometer (LV) was used to evaluate the extent that individual frequency components contribute to the heating of the damage region by quantifying the out-of-plane velocity associated with the fundamental and second order harmonic responses.
By quantifying the location, extent and type of damage from Hurricane Sandy and the ESVs lost, we can provide another dimension to protection and restoration efforts in this sensitive coastal-urban region.
