A trained research assistant recorded the children's nude weight or with light clothing using a digital scale with 10 g precision (Seca, model-345), length (using a calibrated length board), and mid upper-arm circumference to the nearest mm (using a non-stretch insertion tape).
Line length was calibrated to convert pixels to distance, and the Measure plugin was used to quantify total axon length.
Design codes quantify a reference value for the plastic hinge length, through calibrated empirical relationships that account primarily for the length of the shear span and the diameter of primary reinforcing bars.
At first, a response surface approximating the critical crack length is calibrated for each crack growth site.
Tree length is calibrated to equal the total amount of change in the character over the whole phylogeny, such that waiting times represent the relative time spent in one character state as opposed to the other.
Quality control of the experiments was performed by comparing their label incorporation, peptide length distribution, calibrated and uncalibrated mass error distribution of retention time, fraction of matched MS/MS scans, and correlation of protein ratios between different replicates.
We applied a strict clock model on branch lengths and calibrated the CO1 partition to 0.0177 substitutions per site per million years after a recent CO1 clock rate estimate of another Polyphaga beetle family [ 52].
We applied a strict clock model on branch lengths and calibrated the species tree by applying a normal distribution prior (mean = 4.4, stdev = 0.7) on the root node according to the 95% HPD interval of the estimated host root node age.
Fish-length estimates (fork length, cm) were calibrated before each sampling period by estimating lengths of fish-shaped objects until estimates were within 10% of true lengths.
Using lag screw length to calibrate and correct FOP resulted in a mean correction factor of 0.63 (0.12–1.23) and thus a mean lag screw-corrected femoral offset (FOLS) of 49 (23 66) mm.
