Sentence examples for improved specimens from inspiring English sources

Improved specimens showed an increased energy dissipation capacity while the observed in-cycle degradation was about 50% at a drift ratio of 3%.

The preliminary design of the joints has been updated during the tests based on the damages observed, thus a set of improved specimens have also been built and tested, and a relatively better performance is obtained expectedly.

For this application the innovative design exhibits not only improved specimen and loading alignments, but also reliable specimen holding and cooling systems.

The quality of X-ray spectra from FEGTEMs has been improved by three different means: the use of beryllium shields, improved collimation and improved specimen holder geometry.

Biopsies in which inadequate or marginal cortical tissue was submitted for LM had only minor decreases in the amount of cortex submitted for immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, revealing an opportunity for improved specimen triaging when limited tissue is obtained.

Further application of direct detectors for data collection, combining with other image-processing algorithms, and improved specimen-preparation methods should bring other advances in the use of cryo-EM for structural virology.

High-pressure freezing/freeze substitution fixation techniques have since improved specimen preservation [1].

Future surveillance for UNEX may benefit from simplified case-finding methods, improved specimen quality, and more focused syndrome-specific surveillance.

Electron microscopes with helium-cooled top-entry specimen stages, such as the one developed by Fujiyoshi and co-workers (55), and improved specimen preparation methods, such as the carbon sandwich technique (56), have especially helped to improve the yield of high-resolution images.

It has demonstrated improved specimen adequacy and sensitivity for the detection of cervical cancer and its cytologic precursors, squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) (Vassilakos et al, 2000), while providing less equivocal results and has led to 10% fewer recalls for repeat testing (Vassilakos, 1998a).

The development of direct detectors and more stable microscopes, combined with new data processing algorithms and improved specimen preparations, has recently resulted in determination at atomic resolution of several protein structures, including a eukaryotic ion channel, by electron microscopy (EM), using approaches not reliant on symmetry or 2D crystallisation [21,22,23].
