Juvenile females were the least commonly discharged sampling category, and due to the small available sample size, the sample of juvenile females was supplemented with eligible individuals whose records were not available on the TRIM database but were accessible for review at the juvenile remand centre on 9th June 2008.
Then the pressure is discharged, and samples are immersed in hot oil with temperatures approaching the transition temperature of the polymer.
The RFFM was validated with reproduced discharge samples of historical storm events and then applied to extreme flood frequency estimation.
Although the efficacy of both strategies increased after 120 h of storage period, the densities of microbes in discharge samples from the UV/TiO2 treatment were significantly lower than those in samples from UV-alone treatment.
In particular, when upstream areas are also protected by river dike system, historical discharge samples cannot represent the impact of upstream river overflow on downstream extreme flood frequencies because it rarely occurs.
Immediately after exposure to corona discharges, samples showed a low surface hydrophobicity and, on storage in dry air, a continuous increase in hydrophobicity finally approaching the hydrophobicity of the unexposed material.
The results were consistent with Ortiz-Hernandez and Saenz-Morales (1999) who demonstrated that the densities of FC were the highest in discharge samples and decreased with increasing distance from the discharge.
Steel fibers, on the contrary, will tend to sink towards the bottom parts of the drum, thus causing the initial discharge samples to contain fewer steel fibers per unit volume than later samples (Nikolaisen 2010).
Due to a low number of discharge samples, no significant difference was observed between the CM+SA groups, however it is also worth noticing that all MP levels decreased at discharge (Fig. 3A to F).
Discharge samples were used for the analysis of the prognostic value of NGAL and BNP for adverse HF-related outcomes.
