The authors have compiled growth data from other compilers of such data (in a way that is not easily traceable) and from primary literature from a wide variety of organisms growing under many different conditions with varying relationships to the conditions in which they were evolved to live.
To see if there might be some underlying rule, evolutionary biologists David Allsop and Stuart West of the University of Edinburgh, U.K., compiled growth rates, breeding ages, and other information on 77 marine species.
Our list was compiled using U.S. Census growth data from 2000 to 2006 and provided by Demographia, a St. Louis-based research firm.
In addition to the quantitative PFU assay, we also compiled semiquantitative vector growth kinetics in A549, HuTu80, and Per55K cells, expressed as percent CPE over time.
But Japan's national accountants, who compiled last week's surprising growth figures, have a more dispiriting view of deflation.
A dataset was compiled on the diameter growth rates of nearly 1800 trees from a wide range of published and unpublished sources for the middle North Island.
A gene signature for 'cell growth' was compiled from an initial small subnetwork identified by Ingenuity, together with genes that were in relevant gene ontology categories or encoded proteins that proteomic analysis has assigned to the nucleolus [22], [23], and estrogen-regulated genes that were predicted by HiMAP to have direct connections to these genes.
His height, evaluated according the growth charts compiled by Cacciari et al. [ 17], was 78.6 cm (−2.79 SDS).
With regard to aquatic toxicity, median effect concentrations (EC50) for invertebrates (Daphnia magna, 48 h EC50 immobility), fish (various species, 96 h LC50 mortality), and green algae (various species, 72 h EC50 growth rate) were compiled.
Some 15 years ago, in 1999, Mann and two colleagues published data they had compiled from tree rings, coral growth bands and ice cores, as well as more recent temperature measurements, to chart 1,000 years' worth of climate data.
Additionally, raw ring-width measurements were detrended for ontogenetic growth decline and compiled into a Master chronology using the program CRONOL (http://web.utk.edu/~grissino/).edu/~grissino/
