In this study, the pore structure of concrete incorporating metakaolin (MK) was characterized when exposed to two types of curing conditions, seawater and fresh water, respectively.
Using information from an industrial hygiene survey that we conducted (Woskie et al. 1988a, 1988b) and review of industry practices, subjects were characterized as exposed or unexposed to diesel exhaust based on yearly job code.
Stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency (STAP), characterized by exposing splenic CD45+ lymphocytes to acidic conditions followed by incubation with leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), has recently been described as a method of bestowing pluripotency upon somatic cells [23].
Effects of hyperglycemia on SUR-2A and Kir6.2 expression levels were further characterized by exposing cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes to various concentrations of glucose in vitro.
The results presented here demonstrate the feasibility of adding other genes of interest in fish physiology to a second-generation multispecies microarray for characterizing fish exposed to pollutants. Figure 7 was incorrect in the original article published online.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01584.010 As a complementary approach to probe the Im7 binding site in Spy, we used a limited proteolysis assay with a mass spectrometric readout to characterize the exposed and buried regions in Spy before and after Im7 binding as suggested by their accessibility to the protease trypsin.
An alternative strategy was the one adopted by Serrano et al. [ 38], which was characterized by exposing pig PMBCs to EGM-2 for 2 weeks and then depriving the medium of FGF-2 with the purpose of enhancing endothelial differentiation in this second phase of culture.
In C. sativus the flavonoid levels are specially high in scarlet stigmas (-2da to +3da) that are characterized for being exposed to sunlight, whereas the stigmas for earlier developmental stages are under the soil and enclosed inside the perianth tubes, and therefore protected from the light.
However, levels and sources of fish consumption and MeHg exposure in the United States vary substantially, and limited data are available to characterize potential highly exposed subpopulations.
The first is rumor abatement: simply characterizing the population exposed and documenting the frequency of salient complaints and providing this to the affected population, so as to separate fact from fiction.
