The images are created after a specimen is embedded in gelatin, sliced into microscopic sections and digitized.
This display, in the Everett Children's Adventure Garden, allows young visitors to enter a re-creation of Darwin's laboratory, see a model of the ship used in his travels and emulate his research, including exploring various bogs and creating a herbarium specimen using the primrose.
To quantify this vector, I created a score for each specimen on the stream reservoir shape axis by multiplying the eigenvector of the habitat term's sums of squares and cross products matrix from a preparatory MANCOVA (final model same as above) by the shape variables block to yield a column of habitat divergence vector scores for each individual.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00723.003 Finally, we created a light path to the specimen by drilling a hole through the bayonet specimen holder for the Leica EMpact2 high-pressure freezer; we replaced the black diamond anvil with a transparent sapphire anvil.
Because the species was social and gregarious, creating a few specimens would not be ideal.
The garden-like feeling will recall the ancient chateau Malmaison, Napoleon Bonaparte's secret retreat on the outskirts of Paris, where 200 years ago his wife Josephine created a vast garden of rare specimens.
On the basis of microtomography scans of skull elements of the holotype specimen, Sereno's team created a "prototype" Nigersaurus skull they could examine.
100μL of the 0.5 McFarland Mtb suspension was added to 5mL of smear-negative sputum and the suspension was vortexed to create a spiked sputum specimen with a 1+ designation.
These are about twice the size of the animals in the young group, and about half the size of the largest ones known together, so this really helps create a series of specimens with animals together of about the same size.
Here, through a combination of post-mortem and in situ techniques, different dynamic drive conditions are utilized to create a set of specimens with various volume fractions of retained high pressure ω-phase and stored plastic work.
