In another point, we ordered the pathological evaluation for each samples obtained by each procedures, and when tumor samples were insufficient to establish a definitive diagnosis, we re-tried the puncture by thicker needle.
An illustrative stress strain plot is shown in Fig. 1, and the results of complete mechanical evaluation for all samples are given in Table 1.
We introduce the concepts of measurement expansion factor (MEF) and design expansion factor (DEF) for the technical evaluation of sample type efficiency (optimal sample type).
Further, the ability to quantitatively evaluate nearly 70 blood metabolites that represent numerous classes, including amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, and heterocyclic compounds, using a simple and highly reproducible analytical method such as NMR may potentially guide the evaluation of samples for analysis using mass spectrometry.
In vitro evaluations for each sample of each shrub species were completed in three incubation runs in different weeks using calibrated glass syringes in a 7 × 2 factorial design (i.e., 7 shrub species × 2 treatments with or without PEG).
The Autoflex II software was implemented for the evaluation of samples.
Therefore the amount of crown biomass sampled was also used as a criterion for the evaluation of sampling strategies.
In particular, observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) offer a means for quantitative evaluation of sampling design.
We will draw two independent, random samples of 40 participants from each participating village for the effectiveness evaluation, one sample for pre- and the other for post-intervention surveys, to collect data for the outcomes measurement.
Thin sections were suitable for semi-quantitative evaluation of samples with the light microscope (Leica, DMR, Glattbrugg, Switzerland), where cellular reactions were assessed based on a semi-quantitative score that was specifically developed for each individual study [ 43].
