In particular, liquid-state 1H, 13C and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies were employed on milk samples supplied by a single dairy farm breeding buffaloes fed by conventionally and biologically fodder (CFM and BFM, respectively) during a 2-year-long experimentation.
To establish the relevant threshold for R values reported herein, a standard LC-MS run was performed on a mixture of synthetic peptides without any isomers using both CID and RDD under identical conditions to those employed on actual samples.
For developing the index, exploratory factor analysis approach has been employed on the sample of 1201 responses collected from the residents of 12 different cities in India.
For the remainder, the Aware™ BED™ EIA HIV-1 Incidence Test (BED test) (Calypte Biomedical Corporation, Portland, Oregon) was employed on a sample taken within 3 months of diagnosis, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
However, using the figures provided by hospitals of the number of RNs employed on the sampled wards, the response rate was estimated at at least 39%; it is likely to be higher due to some nurses being on annual or sick leave or some staff simply not receiving the questionnaire.
The Barret, Joyner and Halenda (BJH) model along with density functional theory (DFT), two most frequently used ones for pore structures of shales, employed on Longmaxi shale samples and compared.
A number of proxies are under development, but some of the most promising (e.g. palaeoseawater records of Li and Nd isotope change) can only be employed on such large samples of mono-specific foraminifera that application to the deep sea sediment core archive becomes highly problematic.
PCR amplification employed on each individual DNA sample (T. evansi and B. bigemina) using their specific primers led to the detection of expected fragments of size 257 and 689 bp, respectively.
At the time of the survey, approximately one-half of the entire OFS sample was employed on a full- or part-time basis (44.4 and 6.0%, respectively).
