To ensure consistent sample expression, swabs were turned exactly ten times each (5 clockwise and 5 counter clockwise).
Thalamo-cortical white matter was sampled consistently in a single 10 mm block at the midpoint between the thalamic and cortical regions of interest to ensure consistent histological sampling from each tract system (Fig. 1E and G).
To ensure consistent treatment of samples the study was only initiated after procedures were put in place to require uniform and independent interpretation of media results.
The remaining volume of the rotor was filled with D2O to ensure consistent spinning for each sample.
Our western blot was run in triplicate, along with an additional blot for actin and Coomassie Blue staining to ensure consistent protein load between samples.
Soil was not completely dried after 24 h but similar incubation conditions ensure consistent water content at every sampling.
By accurately estimating these parameters based on the likelihood of the sample data, we ensure consistent and asymptotically efficient estimates of genotype frequencies and the nucleotide-read error rate that should minimize genotype misclassification.
Abstracts were screened for eligibility by one author (MLM); a sample of 10%% was assessed independently (NH) to ensure consistent application of eligibility criteria.
Several samples, including those that were used to generate the P/R constructs, were run across multiple plates to ensure consistent amplification and sizing across plates and over half of the samples were run twice.
