The first experiment pertaining to object manipulation is based on the pairing of colored socks, while the second experiment is related to outdoor navigation with the goal of following a colored serpentine painted on the ground.
While the first three examples will show details of the approach where feature manipulation is based on visual image inspection, the last example will present performance measures over a wide range of peak-to-peak ratios based on a mask created using GP.
Efficient host cell manipulation is based on the delivery of a complex mixture of effector proteins.
All genetic manipulations are based on these two strains.
All of surface manipulations were based on top-down metal-assisted chemical etching feasible under room-temperature conditions to synthesize SiNWs with silver nanoclusters.
Culture media used during experimental manipulations were based on KSOM mouse embryo medium (Lawitts and Biggers, 1993), which contains (in mM) 95 NaCl, 2.5 KCl, 0.35 KH2PO4, 0.2 MgSO4, 10 Na lactate, 0.2 glucose, 0.2 Na pyruvate, 25 NaHCO3, 1.7 CaCl2, 1 glutamine, 0.01 tetra sodium EDTA, 0.03 streptomycin SO4 and 0.16 penicillin G, and 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA).
Manipulations were based on previous literature on the effects of nonverbal communication, and on videotapes of radiotherapy consultations [ 44], in which the naturally occurring variation in nonverbal behaviors was assessed.
For clarity, we nevertheless refer to the main experimental value as "size" (rather than "visual field area") below, when the experimental manipulations were based on the size of a single object at a given time.
Techniques for restriction enzyme digestions, ligation, transformation, and other standard molecular biology manipulations were based on methods described elsewhere (Sambrook et al. 1989) or as suggested by the manufacturer.
Our choice of stimulus positions and manipulations was based on results of earlier studies that used a similar strategy to find the cortical generators of the C1, N1, and P2 VEP components for pattern onset stimuli (Di Russo et al. 2002) and of the N125/P135 component for pattern reversal stimuli (Di Russo et al. 2005).
