Duplicate samples of sand were collected 0.5 m apart by using sterile 50 mL Falcon tubes to take small cores of approximately 5 cm in length/depth; wet sand was collected at the water line and dry sand at the mean high tide line.
SERS nanoparticles (S420; Cabot, Boston, MA) are composed of spherical gold cores of approximately 60 nm in diameter and are coated with a monolayer of the Raman reporter 4,4′-dipyridyl and encapsulated in a silica shell of approximately 30 nm radius (total particle size ∼120 nm).
The commission said the Mavi Marmara's passengers were divided into two groups, the largest made up of "peace activists" and the other including a "hard core of approximately 40 activists" from the Turkish Islamic charity Insani Yardim Vakfi, known by its Turkish initials, I.H.H.
These analyses revealed that the three genomes display striking synteny and share a conserved core of approximately 6200 genes, 94% of which are arranged in syntenic directional gene clusters.
These molecules comprise: a lipid moiety, called lipid A, which is considered to be the endotoxic component, a glycosidic part consisting of a core of approximately 10 monosaccharides and, in "smooth-type" lipopolysaccharides, a third region, named O-chain, consisting of repetitive subunits of one to eight monosaccharides responsible for much of the immunospecificity of the bacterial cell.
The Nobeoka Thrust is characterized by a fault core of approximately 25- to 80-cm-thick cataclasite with a highly deformed random fabric, as well as fragmented sandstones with partial plastic deformation and pressure solution within quartz aggregates, similar to the sandstones in the footwall (Kondo et al. 2005; Kimura et al. 2013).
In this model giant planet formation is divided into two stages: a) accretion of a core of approximately and b) accretion of gas from the protoplanetary disk.
This should be compared with the average properties of a random subset of ten species, which exhibits a small metabolic core of approximately 1% of the network.
The M and E glycoproteins constitute an icosahedral scaffold surrounding a nucleocapsid, which consists of the viral genome complexed with a core of approximately 30 nm composed of multiple copies of a small, basic capsid (C) protein.
WD-40 repeat proteins are defined by the presence of four or more repeating units containing a conserved core of approximately 40 amino acids that usually end with tryptophan-aspartic acid (WD).
Like all intermediate filament proteins, lamins contain a highly conserved α-helical core of approximately 350 amino acid residues flanked by globular N-terminal head and C-terminal tail domains.
