To facilitate subsequent analysis, we used polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) when attaching the flexible surfaces to the walls of the well, thereby allowing their removal after incubation.
Ponceau staining of western blot membranes confirmed substantial enrichment for proteins by molecular weight, yielding fractions with a range of approximately 5 10 kDa, which facilitated subsequent analysis.
To facilitate subsequent analysis, the following assumptions and simplifications are considered.
During the first week after planting, manual pruning of buds was applied so that each tree had only three stems to facilitate subsequent analysis of internal stem architecture.
A composite Microsoft Access® (Microsoft, Redmond, WA) database is being assembled, which will incorporate all the data from the three sites and will facilitate subsequent analysis.
Selected articles were reviewed according to a data extraction form, developed in Microsoft Excel, to standardize the review and facilitate subsequent analysis of the collated information.
The output of the program is fully annotated and can be exported or displayed in several different formats, in order to facilitate subsequent analysis and validation of the results.
To facilitate subsequent analysis, antimicrobial agents were grouped into eight antibiotic families: β-lactams (except carbapenems), carbapenems, quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, anti-gram-positive antibiotics (vancomycin, teicoplanin, and linezolid), antifungal agents, and other antimicrobial agents (including antiviral and tuberculostatic agents).
Because the numbers (ns) and positions (ps) are discrete valued variables, to facilitate subsequent analysis total length shared on the chromosome also was summarized in discrete values, namely as the number of tenths of the chromosome shared (ts): if x (>0) is the length shared, then for ts = 1: 0 < x ≤ 0.1, ts = 2: 0.1 < x ≤ 0.2; …; ts = 10: 0.9 < x ≤ 1.0.
The initial exponential increase was to ensure a slow rate of extension to facilitate subsequent image analysis.
