For each of the three view categories, we use the following testing protocol: (i) per subject, discard the two orientations that do not have to be tested, (ii) train a gender classifier using all the cycles belonging to the two orientations that do not have to be tested, and (iii) test with the cycles of the subject belonging to the testing orientation.
By following standard test protocols, several studies investigated the ecotoxicity of nTiO2 among others to Daphnia magna.
All tests were performed in the respective school gyms following standardized test protocols (e.g., test instructions).
This protocol was established following testing of a number of different forms of LPS, and a wide range of doses, for their ability to induce a strong immunological response without causing excessive toxicity to the mice.
Athletes performed the following incremental test protocol: 5 min 50 w warm-up, increments of 50 w per minute until exhaustion.
We recommend the following: Animal testing protocols used to establish regulatory safety standards must include experiments that examine effects of chemicals over a wide dose range that at their low end overlap with typical human exposures, particularly those experienced by vulnerable populations based on biomonitoring data, or modeling if actual data do not exist.
The included studies evaluated: Åstrand test; modified Åstrand test; Lean body mass-based Åstrand test; submaximal bicycle ergometer test following another protocol other than Åstrand test; 2-km walk test; 5-minute, 6-minute and 10-minute walk tests; shuttle walk test; and modified symptom-limited Bruce treadmill test.
The electrochemical stability of Rh/PtIrOx/C NPs was evaluated by following a degradation test protocol, which consists in exhaustive cyclic voltammetries.
Additionally, in some cases, following a specific test protocol, the respirometer can indirectly estimate the carbon dioxide evolved during biodegradation process for calculating respiratory activity parameter such as respiratory quotient.
Overall, the reproducibility was almost perfect for tests and criteria for SIS when following a standardised test protocol for reliability and validity studies.
