To determine a lower limiting concentration, at which coalescence occurs, the average particle volume of the dispersed phase was evaluated.
This and other studies led the government's top medical advisers for the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences to declare in 2002 that they could not determine a healthful limit of trans fat, as they had for other dietary fats.
Mr. Cantilli, the consultant, said the problem with speed limits is that they are generally no longer set by traffic engineers who, before Congress began chanting "55 Saves Lives," used to study a road's design and traffic patterns to determine a speed limit that made sense.
Salama et al. [45] compared commercially available digital fluorescence readers to CMOS-based technologies and determine a three times lower detection limit in a pyrosequencing DNA assay.
The goal of the study was to survey the imaging parameter space of lesion to background contrast ratios, scan time, image voxel size, and lesion volume in order to determine a system's limit of detecting small lesions.
The ratio of guinea pig to mycobacterial cells were previously determined using uninfected lung tissue spikes with decreasing numbers of bacteria in order to determine a lower limit of detection with our mass spectrometry methods (data not shown).
Although we were able to determine a lower limit of surface density, additional investigations are needed to determine the exact number of bonds actually formed when such molecular densities are brought into contact.
To determine a lower limit of detection (LOD) for the enzyme-enhanced ECD assay, lower concentrations of SEB were tested using a new version of the manual ElectraSense reader with improved electronics that reduce electronic noise and increase ECD signals.
The original passage experiments of FMDV C-S8c1 in BHK-21 cells were undertaken to determine a possible limit for fitness gain of a virus replicating in a constant biological environment, one of the open questions in viral population dynamics [47].
