Concentration predictions of the are consistent with the laboratory simulations and field observations.
The schedule was designed to be consistent with the laboratory model of Looney and Hopkins.
The principle cations during early leaching (< 7 months) were alkali metal ions sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+), and alkali earth elements calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+), which is consistent with the earlier laboratory leaching tests (Behum et al. 2009, 2010).
This profile is estimated for MgO in a former ab initio calculation (Tsuchiya and Tsuchiya 2011) and is consistent with the previous laboratory measurements under high pressure (Chopelas and Boehler 1992).
Enzymatic digestion was performed at solids loading of 1% (w/w) glucan to allow focus on how pretreatments impacted substrate digestion and avoid confusion by end-product inhibition of the enzymes; this approach is consistent with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory NRELLaboratoryory Analytical Procedure (LAP) [ 38].
This supposition requires further testing but is consistent with the hypothesis that the laboratory-culturing environment relaxes selection on virulence-related genes relative to the host environment.
This is consistent with the experiment, because filtered laboratory air was continually passed over the solution as the waters evaporated, and because carbonate samples were stored in gas-tight vials eliminating exchange with atmospheric CO2 at room temperature.
The finding of monoculture in the two Atta species is consistent with the reported monoculture in small laboratory gardens of two Acromyrmex species [20].
It is consistent with the effect of melatonin in laboratory controlled studies 30 and suggests that evening exogenous melatonin advances sleep phase over time and therefore children fall asleep earlier but also wake earlier, explaining the smaller effect on total sleep time.
