However, according to the model, in surface waters under typical environmental conditions (pH 8, 25 °C and light) the percentage of mancozeb conversion to ETU would be about 17.5%.
With even the slightest amount of artificial light, the percentage of frogs developing normally dropped as low as 15%, compared with about 40% under more natural lighting conditions and nearly 100% in darkness.
In all populations treated with UV-light, the percentage of necrotic cells (7AAD+ cells) was lower than 15% and did not increase during the time course (data not shown).
Future studies selectively studying small bone biopsies that were not decalcified may shed further light on percentages of conversion on this metastatic site.
Given that, the paper proposes new indices to describe DLCs performances: Daylight Integration Adequacy (DIA), Percentage Light Deficit (LD%), Percentage Intrinsic Light Excess (ILE%) and Percentage Light Waste (LW%).
The system we currently use: traffic lights displaying percentages in five categories – calories, fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt – is deemed too confusing by health experts, who say there is little evidence that they have changed behaviour.
Labels rarely offer more detail than the standard traffic lights and percentages on the packets, let alone factory conditions and wider environmental impact.
The maximum absorbance was observed at approximately 560 nm both in sunlight and UV light, and the percentage of degradation was calculated considering the absorbance maxima, equal to [A i − A t ] × 100, where A i and A t denotes the absorbance of Rhodamine B at time t = 0 and t = t, respectively.
When we quantified by qPCR amplification of a 73 bp fragment the DNA that had been irradiated for 10 minutes in the UV crosslinker at 1 cm, 6 cm and 12 cm from the light bulbs, the percentage of amplification prevention achieved was 99.7±0.3%, 96±0.6%, and 89±1.9%, respectively (Figure 2).
For the differential leucocyte count, blood smears were stained with the May Grunwald and Giemsa Romanowski dyes and thereafter examined by light microscopy; the percentage of lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes were determined by examining 100 cells.
Stained slides were analysed independently by two observers (RV and VA) using light microscopy; the percentage of positively stained malignant cells was estimated as was the staining intensity, an immuno-score (Allred) was calculated according to the Allred system [ 19].
